  • Bag

    I saw the documentary "Bag it" as well as worked on the beach for 2 years. Go to the market and no longer leave with plastic bags that only get trapped in our oceans. “Paper or Plastic?” You’ll say, “No, thanks”, when shopping with this environmentally friendly tote. Its wide bottom makes it great for groceries or larger items. Made from 12oz cotton twill, it has cotton-web handles which have stress-point reinforced stitching. Dimensions: 13"w x 15.5"h x 7"deep.

Care about us By Undakova Mass destruction Then invasions Bombs erupting I don’t knowwww who to blame or What needs changing All I am thinking is They don’t really care about us In gulfed in Exploitation Corruption I don’t knowww who to blame or What needs changing All I am saying is They don’t really care about us 17th century 21st century really doesn't matter if you are not writing the history In the end of it all when they mention we Will they mention you? Will they mention me? Will they mention us? Will the picture be. . . A shot of you next to the words “victory” I don’t think so, so you should listen see Because the only benefit that you will get to see Is the 9 digit social security The captain of the ship may still let the prisoners eat And just because you travel doesn’t mean that you are really free Executives from Enron will still get to cheat The shareholders and workers from new companies And new corporation factories they are calling green Alternating new natural sources of energy But there is still a third world and war in the Middle East Mass destruction Then invasions Bombs erupting I don’t knowwww who to blame or What needs changing All I am thinking is They don’t really care about us In gulfed in Exploitation Corruption I don’t knowww who to blame or What needs changing All I am saying is They don’t really care about us Maybe I am over reacting The medias bias I am being too liberal Or maybe I am lying But how do you feel When you’re immediately trying To keep up with the joneses And what are you buying The pressure from the bosses Stocker holders and clients To increase the profits And ya bottom lines The factories closing No longer supplying A towns gone jobless And left high and dry and Still whole country Witnessed the skyline Fall to ground By the force of a pilot But nobody questioned Why we were violent To innocent children Who never learned to fly yet Flying our flags Like the new age pirates Spreading our views With new age advertisements Billboards rise And the landfills piling For miles with plastic The mall keeps us smiling Mass destruction Then invasions Bombs erupting I don’t knowwww who to blame or What needs changing All I am thinking is They don’t really care about us Engulfed in Exploitation Corruption I don’t knowww who to blame or What needs changing All I am saying is They don’t really care about us Protesters scream while the masses are silent with low self esteem or just scared of the violence we all saw the scene when you practice defiance we all want a change but its backwards to riot You can pray for the answer or guidance Or be swayed by the answers in science but the game is to have us complaint to be entertained, feel shamed, sick and tired The Oscars and Grammies that got us excited will not show the families whose lives have collided with our way of progress and passion to to fight and that is the Standard American Diet some are awake to the invisible wires that have us attached to this invincible empire the same pyramid scheme back since osiris and nothing has changed with the gold loving tyrants Mass destruction Then invasions Bombs erupting I don’t knowwww who to blame or What needs changing All I am thinking is They don’t really care about us Engulfed in Exploitation Corruption I don’t knowww who to blame or What needs changing All I am saying is They don’t really care about us

Inspiration 04:34
Life is Such By Undakova How’d I get here in the first place Got me feeling like I am living in the rat race when you moving through the city it's a fast pace doesn’t matter if you had good or bad grades If you ask me Cause every day is another lesson into class, race, gender, religion, that a leave you with a bad state of mind but I had to trust and to have faith that the music that I made would give me that grace And spread a message that I know would lift me past space and time cause I am beyond what the maps say So every time I spit a verse its everlasting I channel with my energy and fill with passion So I can live a life in peace that I've imagined Don’t need your suffering, your headaches or your aspirin just some time to contemplate to make it happen Cause every moment is getting better than it has been When it seems hopeless to focus through the commotion I am open to being spoken to from higher beings and seeing signs Cause the path that been chosen got my devotion to intuition I am zoning in so I balance and heal my mind if the transmission gets broken then I’ll do yoga it’s probably something I am holding so I realign within spine and if I still can't move forward then I take notice I stop center in lotus I let it go and let divine Inspiration is all I need to grow Tap into my source and let it flow You design the path and where it goes Follow your heart and watch it unfold Inspiration is all you need to grow Tap into your source and let it flow You design the path and where it goes Follow your heart and watch it unfold Many say that they are in the know but your inner guidance knows for sure You design the path and where it goes Follow your heart and watch it unfold

Now is the Time By Undakova Now is the time that you guide my dreams Now is the time that I wake up Now is the time that I am not sleeping Now is the time Cause enough is enough Now is the time that I am calling on courage Now is the time thatI go deep inside Now is the time That I don't feel I am selfish Now is the time That we need our pride Now is the time That it is great to be human Now is the time That we all come alive Now is the time that we know what we're doing Now is the time That we all shall thrive You see the love you receive is not the love that you read about Nature designed you and me to breath in and out You could pretend you don’t need all the oxygen from leaves and the forest and its trees and could be without the air and habitats of greens can’t be weeded out and all beings on this planet is what we about at first I didn’t understand I was freaking out thought we would destroy this promised land That we dreamed about But then I seen my doubt And then I realized that I had to redefine my mind deep beneath my scalp IT ain’t an easy route But if i wanted to live in perfect harmony its me who would need to scout That’s when I saw integrity I had the least amounts started to live compassionately kicked the demons out and times i still got mad so angry I screamed and shout but i slowed down and gained the patience to see it out Now I don’t need to pout Started cooking for myself stopped eating out beans, grains and legumes is what I am seeking now juicing on my own, started eating sprouts I stop supporting the breeding of beef from cows the truth is their diseased before they reach ya mouth and all the feed and the feces that’s leaking out into the rivers and the streams got us seeing droughts ok peace i am out

Don't Stop the Music By Undakova Don't stop the music Just let if fulfill your destiny The reason I choose it Because it just feels so good to me Don't want to abuse it Because in the end it will set you free So don't the music So don't stop the music, the music, the music Open your ears this beat had me choking in tears Thinking back To how they use to smoke in the stairs Tapping bottoms of them forties when they opened them beers On the corner of my block I use to joke with my peers Maan most of us there Straight broke and we cared That maybe one day We'll see the light and hoped it appeared But folks disappeared We're not on the path together Like we ain't the same kids who use to laugh together Guess those times don't last forever Guess who ever told me they did figured they'd gas my head up Our past endeavors will always be that which lets us see how far we have come now that we have perspective From the times that have passed since our last collection of memories, we realize our path is directed It took a long time to get my act together But that’s how I came to master this message. to Don't stop the music Just let it fulfill your destiny The reason I choose it Because it just feels so good to me Don't want to abuse it Because in the end it will set you free So don't the music So don't stop the music, the music, the music first thing that you should do is gather your instrumentals that will be the basis to speak on what you’ve been through manifest your purpose and reasons to why they sent you you can start a movement the people want to get into Once they see your vision you’ll have them marching to your tunes heading to a healthier place instead of a war zone you can help them make a new day by creating your songs don’t you leave a note unexpressed and you can't do no wrong and that’s exactly how I got here I made the music like a foundation and rock here So I won’t deliver a message that is not clear It comes from deep within my soul and don’t stop there It feels my core so in my goals no I don’t got fear I just pursue it to the beat of my own heart here And if ever I am in doubt then I just shout prayers and ask for help so I can return to my route yeah That helps me accept where I am at ground so I don't over react Check inside myself and come back Knowing that my love is intact expressing my truth is the only thing I am here for I can see a future where now I am able to share more nurturing myself and my passion is what I live for giving me the blessing to care more and Don't stop the music Just let if fulfill your destiny The reason I choose it Because it just feels so good to me Don't want to abuse it Because in the end it will set you free So don't the music So don't stop the music,the music, the music

Concrete Jungle By Undakova and Broke MC Petroleum Oil used for our gas Got us wondering how long will this power last Cause seconds turn to hours fast As time ease through like an hourglass and whether or not you upper middle lower class doesn't matter We all felt the aftermath when the plane and towers crashed Mourning Souls we lost through Osama's Wrath Another page in our history MCs we write chapters and paragraphs Using mics like power staffs To teach the seeds who don't know the half How to take control before this horror has Us left out I am stressed out I am thinking about the best route and deaths out Ya hear me? Ya not listening. If you was you would know your position in This habitat we living in And what I am witnessing The same wishing well we wishing in Is the same pot that we pissing in Its sickening. Come in to this world we me the MC As we go on a tour you never been before Only will the strong survive So just move as I move and follow me and you'll thrive Cause negative vibrations will come through the wires . To try To hypnotize you with their advertisements Its a concrete jungle designed to disguise so please advised and wise and you’ll thrive Heard too many people crying that Cost of living keeps on rising Our politicians keep on lying and this MET TROP P polis keeps climbing to reach new heights and reach new clients but each new wave just keeps reviving that city state that weakens climates where not everyone shares a peaceful environment Some say gentrification But I think it’s a nation wide problem that we have been facing since native reservations since before they killed Ab with assassination we’ve been plagued by a consciousness of lack and hatred that mind state is a backwards view of mother nature let’s find faith to go back to truth of the creator designed you with the attributes and parts of space dust let me remind you we gotta face us Come in to this world we me the MC As we go on a tour you never been before Only will the strong survive So just move as I move and follow me and you'll thrive Cause negative vibrations will come through the wires . To try To hypnotize you with their advertisements Its a concrete jungle designed to disguise so please advised and wise and you’ll thrive

Alive 03:31
Alive By Undakova You can do What you Want to In your life Soon you will find That in due time If you free your mind and realize you'll feel alive Come on take a walk through this Mainframe of this corporate fortress Same game just fame is what they offer us Its all corrupt don't let your thoughts adjust To the television sets cause they forcing us To lose all that is sacred and its costing us We cruise through the hatrix like Morpheus With out a clue in this world what's in store for us Who knows what its all because But they say its for my own protection and the war on drugs So we live in sections Eyes all on us Like George Orwell 1984 on us Man listen. I am trying to make decisions logically Cause the forty acres and the mule that they promised me Honestly Is a dream only we can make true So what I am saying to you is You can do What you Want to In your life Soon you will find That in due time If you free your mind and realize you'll feel alive The world is changing At a rate that is incredible And you can be angry but Change is inevitable And you can be in danger if they Sense you edible So I stay resilient My pain is not legible I feel it's better to Move when I am ready to Rather than to only make a move when the cheddar do Cause that’s measurable you move when it's political You don’t have a pulse you just a cosmetic ridicule Willing to sell out for a price And to get a few interviews But to me you’ll never be credible So I edit fools out I don't let em choose if they had a choice They'd rather see me in medical Hospital but if you not hospitable Then I keep it moving like the New York winter weather do That's how you know I am alive And I'll never do Anything but flow from my heart and keep on telling you that You can do What you Want to In your life Soon you will find That in due time If you free your mind and realize you'll feel alive I am alive like raw foods Like goji berries, hemp seeds and mushrooms Like the flowers on the earth in the soil bloom I define my path through concrete " give me room " Forget the laws of physics we ignore rules Dissolve through any obstacle that stall you raise the volume we howling at the new moon you hear the call its just to warn you that we alive like the birds in the sky we believe that we're free and deserve to live high and until all beings are preserved to survive then this whole damn thing we call liberty is lie cause if I was the king i’ll have a tendency to try to make sure I lived right before I eventually died while I still have breath and the symphony behind I am a hit you with a chorus you can remember me by like

A Change Will Come By Undakova A change will come (you know that I can't change a thing") Repeat 4x Life is it full of pain? OR is it just me being full again. Consumed all I want then I pulled the pen, out talking bout all that's cruel within. Deep down inside I know I am the blame. Duck down and hide just cause I am ashamed. To open my eyes and find I am the same. Just lusting for pride in which I am contained. The focus that I know that I can bring, would lift me up high If I tried and aimed. Although I realize I decide the frame, I picture my life still confined and tame. A lion in a cage stuck in iron and chains. An animal whose taught that supplying the brain. Is better than the instincts that lie in veins of the body and the soul that I am dying to change. . . cause Chorus: A change will come (you know that I can't change a thing") Repeat 4x I could change my perspective But if I did it would change nothing about the way I really feel All the pain I've accepted Got me feeling I am making excuses for what's really real And the things I've neglected Got me thinking all I really did was give them time to build To the point where I am helpless And I am not really confident in who I am really am or my skill Really you know that I can't change a thing And I am destined for fame I'll try to lock myself in Side it won't happen again Could I control my own thoughts Could I control my own brain Temptations eating my soul I'll never be the same A change will come (you know that I can't change a thing") Repeat 4x

Corporate America By Undakova I see how the game changed a lot kid. Money quotas and profits More people download this try to cop it Computers and fiber optics Causing a major stock lift the price of shares sky rockets But what is affecting my pockets When they banned free Napster with no answers to why they stopped it Cause artist can’t live off of props kid You can’t buy a cheese burger with “Yo that rhyme is hot kid” The industry is on some pop ish Every time I turn on the radio I hear the same dang topics Don’t get it twisted I aint’ trying to knock it But if I hear rolex watches again then I am a drop kick The next man, leave his head in the sand like ostrich Grab mics and turn dead crowds into the mash pits I am warning ya so proceed real cautious Kova spit sick y’all could all get nauseous I see how the game changed a lot kid Video killed the radio star and the whole world sat and watched it No pilot in the cockpit technology provides remote control planes to stop the conflicts The president will bomb quick use one hand to bomb shit the other hand to light his bong hits And what is really nonsense is they’ll make a movie about it on some Cheech and Chong in Vietnam ish I am messing with your conscience But really the essence of music changed and its been gone since RUN DMC endorsing Adidias Now RED and METH endorsing some crap for peoples armpits But really its all harmless but why everybody in the video gotta look like a convict Lets make one promise That before we leave here tonight we all remain honest.

Video Killed the MC By Undakova Now let’s see We all know that TV has the ability to distort what we see Now we In response to what we see have responsibility to just partially believe Those Remarkable feats, the cars and the jeeps, The one mc in the bar full of freaks I got Involved in the beats And revolved around ciphers as a young-en That would start in the streets The problem is these Companies growing on images Hoping you believe what you view is significant "Only if it’s visually stunning they’ll consider it And if it ain’t hot They will not remember it" So I figured that id move in intricate Steps through the ignorance rep those who went through it Cause the penalty’s death if you’re different Specially original And guest whose depicting it!! Video killed the mc by far Self-Destruction the video sells corruption Mass production of imagery got you sucked in Not for nothing but shouldn’t we all do something Lets all work in conjunction this is an MC’s main function MC means to make a change Some people think it’s strange We are the voice of the people soon as they complain Now and days things have changed deep within the game Through our ways seemed that fame got us taking aim At our freakin own but to each is own So I try to aim high when I speak a poem Target market bulls eye that’ll reach ya dome If you feel it good rise let the people know Video killed the mc by far repeat 4x
