All Day 04:00
All Day, come find me in the cut, no blood stain, On my shirt, Kumite with the Feng Shui, Let the wind and the water be the gateway To the next wave, I be on it all Day, Come find me in the cut no blood stain, On my shirt Kumite with the Feng Shui, Let the wind and the water be the gateway to the next wave All this substance, I’ve been diffusing, when I rhyme it’s like I’m using Everything you’re saving for your prime I’m abusing Back turned to the yesterdays I was granted like Susi Now even when you hating you must co like Putin Don't nobody do it like this, we're new prophets Who you know to keep it on sleeves, without cufflinks Boredom, glazed in loose budgets We should be hearing snores in the lanes you’re huff n'puffing This dat, meditation with poltergeist It’s didactic, revelation book 21, 25 on it When I rise I burn the night, pop the glass ceiling Whitewashing and crash courses, For practice, I bet a habit, I bet a culture While you bask in it! Wearing orange for Pete’s sake Your path ethics don’t align with your missed takes Do you blow your nose before you feast on your fish cakes Who's a two-faced Jackson? Cold yet you put me on a stage and it’s arson My status and my gang ain’t made it to your conscience by accident Be blessed by my presence or be murdered by excellence From this point on… It’s all getting ridiculous This EP is epiphanous To you, you never knew of us The clamour and bula bos Thats Luimnach for ohh la la Solaar’s bouge de la Tout a commence la-bas But I don’t lead a bougie life Gone for broke for methuselahs A black box of chocolat That’s how I have you shook a lot You amplified goo goo gags Ran you to a cul de sac I’d do it one more time for all my people in the back Living on borrowed time, thrice the charm, but these are facts I’m a master, you are jacks Miss me like bureaucrats Or do me more like Doja cat Moiiiii Kiss of death was up for grabs like crab claws for hearts All Day, come find me in the cut No blood stain, on my shirt Kumite With the Feng Shui, Let the wind and the water Be the gateway to the next wave, I be on it All Day, come find me in the cut No blood stain, on my shirt Kumite With the Feng Shui, Let the wind and the water Be the gateway to the next wave, I be on it Watching television too long Got blurred visions Fell in love with Hip Hop for all The wrong reasons And i multiplied my blemishes often It caused divisions In my circle since it took me like yonks To make decisions I was digging for some knowledge With no worries like Knxwledge With My head kept down on my phone I missed my calling When I lifted up my head I'm at home alone Macaulay Only without all the money My Home Alone ain't funny I couldn't stand it I set up a coup d'état To take control of narratives calling it coup de grace This shall outlast your posthumous In the narolane, I rode the new formula To make your soul dance this is medicinal Although the monster lies in the bed of the meticulous Embarrassment of options, not all to utilise Consequences leap and fireback on you and I That’s the trigger to the greatness metrics, my do or die Knowing that has got me doing more and less trying Leaning forwards, the manifesto be in italic Real heavy at the base, so the stance is truly phallic This dat, meditation with poltergeist It’s didactic, revelation book 21, 25 on it When I rise I raise a glass, for the lives given Sacrificed for my freedom and higher living Bad religion ain’t the tradition If I’m Frank with it Did it only coz greed pays And the authentic takes longer to stimulate You’ve been salivating, grab a lamp it’s genie day

I’ve been here before It took a little while to see but I levelled the score It was never lost on me that You had many faces Only there to slow my odyssey (Slow my odyssey, slow my odyssey yeah) I’ve been here before It took a little while to see but I levelled the score It was never lost on me that You had many faces Only wanna steal my energy (Steal my energy, steal my energy yeah) Tell the everybody Strike a pose (Hold up) Satan get behind me I see you in the picture laying low Trying to kiss my bottom like Blarney Peace was a state of mind I chose But you want me warring I’m walking at the pace of an Arabian horse That’s me and my army There’s beauty in the cause if you know where to find it And bag it like bandits Blessed by the blindness And blissfully, speaking truth to the power that be, Parallel-ly making moves to empower the weak, Tell every tops and turves in the allegory Taking the lead, in a time when we need it the most, Sick and tired of ignoring your tropes, I’m getting out the boat, Pen in my hand we rewriting the prose I’ve been here before It took a little while to see but I levelled the score It was never lost on me that You had many faces Only there to slow my odyssey (Slow my odyssey, slow my odyssey yeah) I’ve been here before It took a little while to see but I levelled the score It was never lost on me that You had many faces Only wanna steal my energy (Steal my energy, steal my energy yeah) When you come around I’m ready to shut you down MuRli’s coming with his army here to catch you now You know, know, know, know, So what you got’ do, what you got’ do? When you come around I’m ready to shut you down MuRli’s coming with his army here to catch you now You know, know, know, know, So what you got’ do, what you got’ do? Like a Babushka doll I was trapped in my mind Thinking I was right all the time Fought my friends when they moved on and left me behind Taking their betrayal for a crime But I wonder what was mine Prisoner of my own bottom line Took a little while to realise it wasn’t real, a mime My pity party tricks were sublime Coz it was all by design So was the decline, suspended on my shoulders, No styling, feet on a snowboard I was Slope-sliding, breakthrough was a boulder I’m onboard like the captain On a trip to destination unknown but I’m right in Every line that I stepped in, Make a mark somersault onto next I ain’t settling, on the surface, I’m striping But it ain’t real till I’m surfing in it, I say Slow my odyssey, slow my odyssey yeah Steal my energy, steal my energy yeah Only there to slow my odyssey

You feel me… Yeah I got you Jimmy, Yo! Uhm we do this though You get me? G, I see you Seen ups and downs in my lifetime, never hit a rock like this one Foes and lovers I lost but I never bore a cross like this one Arms wide open I’m found on my knees but I trust not this one I'm but a slave to my memories, man I could pass on this one I can’t go back Stick the plan let the years go by Question marks on my mind all night I don’t even know what I ever got right Seems so near but I can’t go there Still I owe this year for the love it shared All this pain wanna take my life How can I sleep with my mind in a fight Daily mental battles in my local Intrusive thoughts In my local There's bills and pills in my local But the mandem are never that vocal There's serious addiction in My local Disturbing violence in my local All sorts of abuse in my local But the galem are never that vocal Seen ups and downs in my lifetime, never hit a rock like this one Foes and lovers I lost but I never bore a cross like this one Arms wide open I’m found on my knees but I trust not this one I'm but a slave to my memories, man I could pass on this one Seen ups and downs in my lifetime, never hit a rock like this one Foes and lovers I lost but I never bore a cross like this one Arms wide open I’m found on my knees but I trust not this one I'm but a slave to my memories, She said She said, I'm an actual slave on the run so don't you get too bossy around me 12 years of my life in the field yet but nobody makes a movie about it Always had a Big Mac on my back so everybody thought I was loving it Even had a few A-list on my team but Ed was the only one sharing it I used to get hits like pop songs Nowadays I get shunned like dog dung Cuh my soul got punched by top dawgs 'fore they label me overrated and they moved on No voice so no choice Just another X on the invoice With that I hope to pull a Knievel Touch the sky coz down there's evil I woke up in need of a crutch All I got was a big hand on my Been this way since I was like twelve Always had a reason to FML It was bad enough coping with all these Ls Now I see a man and I see hell Like oh that's him oh that's them That's them man that took me at home Put me in the back of the van then drove Sold by the hands I turn to for love You came to pull I came to use You hoping to get loose I'm trying to get you To help me find something new To electrify my soul Cuh day n night I'm getting close to unplugging the fuse So please don't give me a better excuse Seen ups and downs in my lifetime, never hit a rock like this one Foes and lovers I lost but I never bore a cross like this one Arms wide open I’m found on my knees but I trust not this one I'm but a slave to my memories, man I could pass on this one Seen ups and downs in my lifetime, but I can't Foes and lovers I lost but Arms wide open I’m found on my knees but I trust not this one I'm but a slave to my memories, man I could pass on this one Olvidarte!

The Belly 02:53
I’ve been praying for a way out this sorry predicament facing my people out here Came in the world with a label I never signed to, why you follow me everywhere They be watching our movement, hoping we would slip So when I fly, I keep it low like a zip That’s open without my consent, that’s a blip We make it to the finish line they just skip The channel so our victories never seen By generations so we start it again So many times that by now it just seems Like we’re only created to entertain Big dreams keeping me on retainer Run the tracks till we run out of trainers Shoutout my doubters I couldn’t repay Them for all of the time they’ll never regain There ain’t not match, it’d be lopsided My full backs stay rock solid Always out of control like it’s autopilot Smooth operating, we would love Sade By algorithm I’m overrated My father knows I’m underpaid Mother's waiting for what’s on the way Soon I’ll give a reason to wake up late Paid lotta money to service the belly No fee for my peace, these problems are free Watch out for my lips! I know it's prophetic I’ve seen all the smoke in your ears when I speak I’ve been impatient to come out the jig- Saw too many puppets I know I don’t fit Please believe when they tell you they’re sick Coz I’ve been in the room I won’t show you the pics Paid lotta money to service the belly No fee for my peace, these problems are free Watch out for my lips! I know it's prophetic I’ve seen all the smoke in your ears when I speak I’ve been impatient to come out the jig- Saw too many puppets I know I don’t fit Please believe when they tell you they’re sick Coz I’ve been in the room I won’t show you the pics You and I have a lot to say About the way our countries are run today About the type of music that you ought to make To get the radio plays if that is still germane Who am I to know, maybe it is in vain I'm just leaving you a note for the sake of change Give a man a taste of a shooting range Reach for the earmuffs cuh my music bangs Should I tread the path of those who keep the dream alive all the while leading a life in a bus lane, maybe never make it to your hall of fame But they're never too far from the ones we acclaim Shall their, legacy die before I wake I'll put an extended track on every mixtape And kill every verse like Wayne in 08 Hand a tko to the game like AJ The real in my elation ship With this society based on a Hollywood script I live and learn observe the curves The twists and turns to the point of no return And earn my G's a spell in the directors seat If we should believe in the democracy Then I see You and I breaking G R O U N D To make the I M P A C T We have been talking about it We have been waiting for it But those who don’t want it to happen Are paying good money for it We feed off the change and we shut up? I’ll be taking my chance in the run up To whatever it is we have coming up Best way to pay you back is not to let up We keep the rhythm alive Ready or not we arrived Liars be acting surprised That look on your face has no price We keep the rhythm alive Ready or not we arrived Liars be acting surprised That look on your face has no price

about

‘The Sky Has Windows’ is MuRli’s first solo release since 2020’s Till The Wheels Fall Off EP.

The EP showcases MuRli’s versatility by way of his mesmerizing flows and lyrical dexterity, his singing and production skills. He is joined by Cork’s own Ian Ring (Boku) and rising star Godwin on production.

MuRli says: “This EP is me going back to why I do what I do in the first place. It’s me expressing my feelings and my thoughts in that specific moment in my life via words and sounds. Nothing here was overly thought out. I went into the studio with my friends to vibe out and this is me opening the windows onto those sessions“

The recording of this EP was made possible with the support of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts and the Gaeltacht.
