Pushing Through The Pavement

by The Polish Ambassador

supported by

Les_Insufferables I've been listening to The Polish Ambassador for a long time, and this album is one of the best things he's ever done. Such an incredible collection of collaboration, and good vibes all the way through. Favorite track: Rise and Release ft. Raashan Ahmad.

puszekk I've never been a great fan of mixing hip hop music with electronic one till I've heard The Polish Ambassador. Wow !! This is amazing combination, so tasteful and pleasant to listen to. I went through few albums, but so far Pushing through The Pavement is my favorite. I would also add that pretty much every tune with vocal is awesome, mainly due to the fact that those tunes are beautiful and lyrics is very thoughtful. Favorite track: Nobody's Alone ft. Yarah Bravo.

Shawn Dinkel It was hard to pick a favorite. This is such a great album with a unique and creative vibe. Very refreshing, feel-good music!! Keep it coming! Favorite track: Lost & Found ft. Mr. Lif & Ayla Nereo.

1.	Vision Fiberoptics ft. Sean Haefeli 05:41	lyrics	buy track
View so clear, vision fiber-optic At the crucible, just before my prime hits Too smooth, and I'm not even trying yet Walk the line, no cash, just appear rich Voice boom like the crack from a thunder stick Play it tough 'cause I'm just too fuckin' sensitive Think I'm open, it's likely 'cause I smoked a spliff No fun, but the silence feels like innocence I see myself so clearly Keep it moving, keep it going strong Try to stand clear, but it move too fast In the mood, but you know it won't last She'll walk away with your heart and your cash So sexy, but not enough class Sounds stupid, but I put myself on blast I was in the crib, she was grazing in the grass Seems like the world was really just a flash Keep it in perspective as I raise another glass I see myself so clearly Keep it moving, keep it going strong Push it high speed, push to the cusp Pop a few of these, make your head rush I'm at capacity, waiting to erupt Break free, will it ever be enough I know the feel up and down just from a touch So good, but I don't want to get stuck Crushed paper, who can I trust All world, rise from the dust I see myself so clearly keep it moving, keep it going strong
2.	Let the Rhythm Just ft. Mr. Lif & Ayla Nereo 05:55	lyrics	buy track
Yes! Let us start this quest Let me say first of all that I feel blessed Just waking up every day is a prize Feeling all the love before I open my eyes It wasn't always like this Strife is... A conduit to make us feel lifeless.. So lost in the adds, fads, drags us down To a lower level where we can't be found But in this underground we forge our own paths The sun still shines And yes we do laugh No, we don't need those things you wanna sell us Fulfilled from within despite what you tell us Rebellious is the spirit that flies.. So ethereal that earth becomes skies... I've gotta say with no further adieu We're happy to be here with you (echo) CHORUS So you can hold all of the folds of all these parts that become sore When waves crash shorelines to this heart, and beat by beat taken apart... Verse 2 It's just another harsh case of cannibalism Oops, I really meant to say capitalism... After the rhythm dies down... Will it revitalize your soul when you remember the sound? If not, you're listening to audio garbage Shitty as can be R.I.P. No homage We hit the lab, and we're hoping to accomplish Jams that'll lead you to the land that's promised Honest Raw sentiments project You see us at the set And we instantly connect Cause we've been thinking bout y'all for days So here's a little something for us modern day slaves... No companies, no filters, no residue Just the impact of this vibe we're sending you I've gotta say with no further adieu We're happy to be here with you (echo) CHORUS Verse 3 "Why" A usual way we start questions "How" we advance through life & learn lessons Suggestions are made and then explored I'm positive Whatever's negative gets ignored We're on a mission Can you see that? I float a theory through the air, now can you breathe that? If you inhale You embark on a tale Don't grieve over things you leave Just set sail There's no fail There is only success If you learn from mistakes you made, and progress Maybe it's best that we halt this discussion Sit back and just bathe in percussion Let the rhythm just carry us away As we twirl through the atmosphere And just sway I've gotta say with no further adieu We're happy to be here with you (echo) CHORUS

In Mahaprabhu’s kirtan dancing and singing, Maddened within by the moods you are tasting, Hairs standing on end, shivering and crying, Praise to our masters’ divine lotus feet!

All these questions going, keep on spinning me around I came to party, come and show me how the lost get found Drop it to the floor, how you shake it fast Got game all day, give your whip some lash 'Bout each move you make, I feel how we gon' give some take Know you'll set me straight, 'cause every time we celebrate Precious, live this life, dream that perfect circle No precision on it, I'm just trying to clear them hurdles Why make some kind of promise, truth we know we both can't keep If we could just be honest, make that bitter sweet We've time explore each other, won't you come and go my way We travel miles deeper than this stream of words I play You give that good-good feeling, I live with no regret With what we make together, I can see no self to check Some may see for beauty, some may feel for love Wait for the one that's special, some just trying to cut

She loves travel Her heart flows... where she chose With a routine Quickly pack the bags, and let's go In and out of hotels Travel light and propel From one spot to next spot She did so well.... Never really got attached to any one place ...More about the quantity Addicted to the pace Til one day... An unexpected stay.... In a place she kept secret So I'd rather not say Just know.. a feeling resonated in her chest so.. strong that she didn't feel like she could move on But still, the plane ticket had a time on it She was used to only doing what her mind wanted Though her spirit started to speak She wouldn't let it peak To the point where it would shuffle her agenda for the week But sitting on the plane to leave simply felt wrong Looking out the window with her face forlorn.... Long long long long long... long long way to go... Liftoff Takeoff Always on schedule Disregard silly words your gut keeps telling you Inner dialogue As she rides through the fog Up and through the clouds Then descent Touch down Now on the ground speeding to a meeting To tell you all the truth, She's aloof in the proceedings Couldn't shake this feeling that she didn't belong Now the music getting louder Heart singing that song Longing... for this place she barely knew Life offers so many paths For you to choose Sometimes though, we're not meant to know But she listened to her inner voice It's telling her "go" She rose from the table Thanked the whole staff Chuckled under her breath to stop a full laugh Thank you all for coming out, but I've gotta go Please direct all your requests to so & so Same bags, same tags, same short notice She left to embark on a quest with one focus To unearth... This possible rebirth The fulfillment of understanding her purpose on earth No time to waste She's hopping on a flight The only way to make her and her fate unite She's living through passion Life on a whim Ascending through the night Now the journey begins Taken to the edge, don't hold back, just jump ahead choosing her name, naming herself, whether she knows or not gotta go every moment long long way to go, got a long long way to go choosing her name, naming herself, whether she knows or not gotta go every moment Finally she lands in this brand new land Luggage in tow With her heart in her hand She walk upon foreign soil once again But this time with every intent of staying Made calls to family Called some friends They didn't understand No, they couldn't comprehend A couple people even told her that she's crazy Thinking to herself on the low, "Well maybe..." Nevertheless, the quest must go on Doubts in her mind, she refused to prolong Never known to be thin skinned She looked within And let her exploration begin Discovery of many semi unturned stones From times she had visions of life with lush tones Envisioned herself before the pressures of the world Had a convo with that little bright eyed girl Those old ambitions Were so enriching They gave a new purpose to life A new rhythm She walked with a bop As she went to see spots That moved her with pure beauty She channelled more thoughts Her heart flourished And art nourished her soul Her creations shed a light upon the people she showed The love radiated Satiating the community Causing this to circulate a bliss quite beautifully Suitably spawned by feelings of calm That were anchored by an overwhelming sense she belonged All along she thought she simply had a flair For venturing around the globe until she came here Now she realizes that the furious pace Was her spirit seeking a feeling An energy A place A hundred thousand miles just to reach one zone Her luggage is unpacked She's finally at home Oh... long long way to go... Taken to the edge, don't hold back, just jump ahead choosing her name, naming herself, whether she knows or not gotta go every moment...
