S. N. Goenka Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dominion
Frozen Image had connections with a group from our city called uh, Lo-Key
Who were signed to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
And that's how I got my deal with Jimmy Jam and Terry in 1993
Got released from that in '95, started working with Midwestside Records in '96
That got me a deal with Quincy Jones in '97, Moved to LA that summer
Came back to KC in '98, started doing music with my childhood homies 57 RDV's
Started doing shows with them in our area like LU Homecoming and venturing out to Top City
Then Denver and Dallas, met Trav in '99, started doing Strange Music in 2000




Released Anghellic that year, and it spread like crazy
And we started doing hella shows in our city, and surrounding cities

There is no ego, but we pretend to have one and thus all the noise. A path to nothing.
