(Osiris) Yes, you know I've been taking it slow From the prophecy is where I'm learning to flow You may have heard I hustle but I'm not a rude boy Governmental muscle's what I seek to destroy Energize the people so we foil their ploy Carbon footprint zero and my soil will grow Only the best and I'm giving away the rest Fuckin Babylon arrest yourself See how they call me the general Commander of the temple of the emerald Yeah I'll protect you from the terrible Together we can make it bearable Sailing stormy weather and we facing high tide Quietly we arming and alarming worldwide So open up your heart and let me come up inside I'll carry you to safety when the forces collide (Malkiel) Thunderdub hit your ear in the club Open your connection to cocoon like a bug On the moon is a hug from the spoon we serve love On the rocket ship and we swerving above Thunderdub is a gun, blam blam done Goin to the cornerstore to make a quick run Grab a pen, so lyrics stream like laser beams and it seems we concocting dreams OSIRIS got the juice of papayas We got the prophy spell to open up your eyelids We the future, crystal childs Creepin like a vine under moon in silence We try to hide this, so we speak in disguise The alibis, we comin too wild Strong medicine ain't mild Ganja pacifism stomping out violence (Osiris) Thunder dubbing, we no fighting Thunder dubbing, stop your crying Thunder dubbing, we'll be uncovering No more suffering, no more fighting (Malkiel) Osiris Fire, coming to learn the devil away Osiris Fire, coming to burn all the evil away

Illuminate 03:22
Oh serenading light, help us to set our world free I lost track of myself, but now your eyes are on me Oh serenading light, been living in your shadow But I can feel you now, been hit hard by your arrow Soul try to disappear, but you won't let it happen Help me to erase my fear, the negative you flatten Let's take a look inside, to the realm of our spirit The truth can never hide, with a whisper I will hear it Everybody's looking for love A world illuminated by the sun up above Everybody need a little love Oppression keep em shaking for our blood Oh serenading light, one day we will all be free My heart is full of love for anyone who wants me Oh serenading light, from the first day to the ending All life is precious now, all music understanding

Flowers 04:03
My life is like a box full of flowers In time I found I'm meant to wander It's so divine, I sit and ponder And when I'm done, I'll bring the thunder Happy alone, I know my purpose Watching love grow, reach through the surface Last night you came, together we went there Working so hard, you won me over So wake my sleeping brothers It's time to earn your stay They've stolen all the purest water Let's take it back today When I grew up, I did not know this To my delight there's power in flowers Now when the fight comes to my doorstep Blast them away, [][][] keep me focused

Come check this song here, peep the lesson Freedom doesn't come and go If you want to break the shackle Come along and help I grow This is more than a profession Money doesn't purchase love Drum and bass better than weapons Crushing till we reach the goal: Love

You take, I suffer You come to steal my dollar Done dried up the water I'm over trying to qualify a scholar Locked down by the system But I'm gonna study my history Make sure that I won't repeat the mistakes Adjust my outlook when I open up my eyes each day Too many lies Too many crimes Sure i'll find people who'll try to fail me But I'm not gonna let you take my money to jail me Too many die fighting an endless fight Sure I'll find people call me crazy But i'm not gonna let you take my mind on the daily You test me, I conquer You try to rule me, prove that I'm stronger Can't take this madness, sadness any longer Every day now you're never getting younger They try to dictate my freedom They try to look away from my feelings Oh lord, won't you hear them They're gonna brainwash our children You've taken, taken I suffer You're stealing, stealing my dollar Done dried up the water Locked down by, down by the system But i'm gonna study my history Make sure that I won't repeat the mistakes Adjust my outlook with every passing Monday

about

OSIRISFIRE's self-titled self-released and produced EP oversees the coming-to-fruition of five original riddims whose history is as diverse as the influences from which they came.

Fresh out of Berklee College of Music, frontman Itamar (dubbed "osiris" on soundcloud collabs) combines influences from his reggae-rich hometown of Ithaca, NY with the heavy, electronically saturated musical vibes of the underground Boston beats & bass. The EP covers a wide array of subjects, from political calls to action to philosophical introspections on our role as living beings.

With a handful of underground shows as the energetic springboard at various locations, OSIRISFIRE has become a well-known yet unpredictable phenomenon, patiently expanding its horizons.
