by Taste Nate The I.M.F. "Lovers Are Metaphysical Beingsâ (L.A.M.B) is Taste Nate's sound track to his own spiritual transformation, his realignment with his higher self, if you will. In a torrent of silver-tongued, story telling and arcane references, he redefines what it is to be human, and by extension, transhuman. The album also serves as a homage to his roots and early influences in the Boom bap style of production epitomized by Pete Rock and DJ Premiere. Lord Lorenz's heavy bass and synthesized sample arrangements create a spacy time pattern for Nate to nurture in his earthy ecosystem. Birth, Death and rebirth are brought front and center through the lens of L.A.M.B.â our personal. interactive journey of creation.

Track Name: Reborn (feat. Skky Phillips)
here we go
By the sea
There is no
Time to speak
Carry on
Very slow

There we go
Track Name: Give it Up
Old habbits die hard Iâm John McClain on Raw Cocaine
Punyeta on centerfold counter top Sonya Blade
Roger race bannon Hadji Quest and Bandit
Trying to solve the mysteries
Of the unexplained vanished
Half dead grass fed....
Carne asada
Barry Sotorro
Bull Horns
Play Post Up pass
Iâm on the Jazz like Greg ostertag
The world is her Oyster
Pearls before swine
Give it up to me
Serve words to the shrine
The world is my squid
Keep spilling ink
Until somethings gotta give
I found that out that they donât
Serve hand outs to the broken-hearted
And there isnât a store to return a broken promise
There isnât a certain method that used to heal your self
If love is what your made of, how can you be your self
And if love is where you came from, how can you find your self

There aint no time waste
There aint no rhyme wasted
There aint no mind wasted
There aint no life wasted
Disputable truths are not hand held
Before you let them go better wish them off well
Your first attempt does not define greatness
Your versions and trials are not your final formation
The world doesnât have a child and then become pregnant
I wear my heart as a cloak
Have it warm yours when ever its runs cold

I asked the blind woman with a service dog
If she saw more colors in the day or night fall
I been on this type of syncopation
That taught you cant stay on beat with out periods of variation
Because this is never constructed its open for interpretation
The production is a back beat for overlapping transformation
Every lead in to the first word is how we count our blessings
And every fade out is the death to one direction
Give me all you got
either gonna break some Or take some
I was sent in exile but donât know where I came from
Guardian angel takes defeats like its seraphic
Iconoclastic artists looks at my images like its arrogance
Lambs donât lose sleep over opinions of the sheep
Dissolution's revival, never meant be convened
I recognize all my memories from the past life
Just A message from future self saying
tastee you better act right.
Track Name: 4 Walls (feat. Skky Phillips)
I got that question on my brain
I got that look up on my face
so that you can't tell me nothing
that's going to make me f****** change
I got that monkey on my back
he says you can't move if I don't ask
But you can't stop my movement
if you leave me without my tracks

Now you can waist away your days
but I can see through any wall with radiated waves
I've ascended I upraise
Open up the door so we can validate our range.
Track Name: Symbiosis Assassins (feat. Skky Phillips)
Target market guard the hostage
Hold the ransom
Creative captive
Slay the dragons
Sway the fans and
Spark it spark
Parade the carcus
Waste the harvest
Delay the conquest
Praise the monsters

Why won't you give me props
Why would you tell your boss
Go get?

Count it count it you already know itâs all there
Count on it but itâs not yours donât share
Im Hiawatha then you could be my Minnehaha
No More steeling kisses like Im Ali Baba
Itâs all Mangia Mangia like Im your Italian Syha
Im your Fa_jah For Jah
Applause the floors ours
I paid the war dons
Who says the worlds ours?

We dipped but
But They don't want chip in and spread the queso
They don't wish to bridge us a cross the threshold
They monsters in the mobb that fosters
Assassinate my rosters conscience

Espionage death cap mushroom
Franz Ferdinand bond strong
Conflict Cartridge Chukar Partridge
Philosophic gorilla softens
In Levatine Confines
engaged the Captured
With faithful actors
Sell Bitter Bread
To each home
Descending Sheepfold
Wait to overcome the sacred poem
Papi Dante Says he sorry
Turning vile mistrust
From Camaraderie
Initiate the red cross
And scope the bodily

living fearless, sinking ear depths,
20,000 leagues under MCS,
with hitler haircuts
A squeaky air duct
She got a cool beak
and feathered fair stuff
Truly I like waking up
With out thinking whereabouts
Spray rounds loud as aerosol
You wear us out
Afro Hair like VeraJao
I don't throw hands in
the Audubon ballroom
Aunwar Sadat at the Restaurant Im Not you
Im me

One for old time sake
Figured it can't be bad
Live a little
But do they ever love a lot?
Beast wars stag beetle
Transform to a megaton
Happy meal
A piece of scrap metal
Makes a symphonyÂ
If you can feel
Anna Ferris wheel
Turns wolves out caught heart worm
Illegitimate chillin
Bank rob
Frank stock burnÂ
My indigenous village down
Built a long ivory resort
Just so you can watch the lion prowl
Track Name: Sensei Solitaire
If these walls could talk they said hip Hop is in the building
If you cannot front on nature there's pigeons on the ceiling
One say it's a companion since love is endless bond
But others see that as a threat like a drug sniffing dog
This sword can sing it's says carry notes strong but carefully

Can see the veins of the streets seep
One side they use the pipe pipe
The other side it's disco party Friday
I walk through invisible
In a parasitic highway
I'm waiting to be secluded

Sendai solitaire
Draw the card and stack you cross to bear
Awaiting your awakening
Shuffle through the space between
Suited up Under subscribed restrictions

Guided through the future
Suited in the order through my Sutra's

Common sense is like
Carcinogenic alchemy
To say we fight death in the
Self centered Calvary
I got the silent piece
To haughty superiorities
I flip it when exposed to spades
Watch him glisten glow a maze
He didn't have to gloat to rose occasionally
Depended on the interior so no other phase is me
They say we connected then I'm open to a cording Lee
Bruce got the red diamond eal
Electric shock to bless rhyming real
Got the armor on the steel
Every new Jack ain't matching up my suit
Who could be your ace, then you could be your 2s


Sleepless in solitude
Hey sues is watching you
Modest is the mirror god I follow you
Lead me to the pasture where magic doesn't need deception
Hide me from the oppressor who wished me in progression
A statue of limitations guided as an advice giver
An advesary life preserver
With safe net attached To her
Sad himmaleah
I'll never slide past her
The watchful leaped ,
Waiting to be faithful,
small pox cure
The answers
You can't pay the Piper to rearrange the puzzle
Re-pile the reptile sauropod another shuffle

One day you will teach them
What their fighting for
Track Name: The Feline & The Cricket (feat. Skky Phillips)
And then the liquor wears offâ¨And the only thing I knoâ¨Is that I need a another shot
(You come a round with that Trone )
you got me so fucked up,â¨You got me so fucked upâ¨You got me so fucked upâ¨You got me soooo
You goin goin goin gone
I kno I'm loosin uâ¨But you can't seem to see the fact
that you loosin me too,â¨You thought you had me,
you had me so fucked up,â¨You had me so fucked upâ¨You had me so fucked upâ¨
I had to get my shit together
Before I make my woman into my world
Plus Men were like whatever they had to fucked the world
It got her so Fucked up
She got exposed to drugs
She got imposed to lust
Full demon, Cobra Clutched
Them bitches broke my trust,
For riches choked my funds
Now Iâm just boasted Up
Them hoes is So Fucked up
They got explosive guns
The put the ghosts in US
The Tantric Gnostic Grudge
I let emotions run
Im in my rouge
Revolutionary robe
Preaching Love is the Answer
Like my Great Grandma Ellenor
Cause she been jaded once
It was that Faded punch
Drunk love from hatred grunts
I tell her glow
Get you hungry bell full
Put your faith in the creator
Cause you never really know
One day youâll soak it up
Like a foretelling sponge
Shed tears then toss it up
Like Makaveli Does

Swervin through the Bario like there he go,
You dropped the irish bomb like a white washed cameo
You stedlily on my medlity like Remy in Bordeaux (bordo) Rose
You twisting up my mission, Tequila worms in CornerRows
Moscotto Love Bottle Closed some how I propose the toast
I wish that I can break you but I broke the Gil Scott Quotable
You Fill Me Up I Feel You up
I wrap My hands around you
I build you up
You break me down but Iâm still lost without you
Iâve Powed
You flowed
Iâm drawn to your promotional
Iâm Froze
When you pose
No prohibition social hoes
But I cry more when I score with you
I could spill my whole life for my Boo (ZAH)

The key line and her lipstick
stick together like the feline and the cricket
stick to the script gotta read my requisitions
We sing together in night time like the whispers
Hear the canines whimper
coyotes trick
raccoons share another pitcher
But we can sip up
turn around let me see her fully figure
You got me thirsty
I'm handling my liquor
Lets clean our auras I can watch you in the mirror
Its been lonely I'm addicted to her elixir
Track Name: Trees of Life (feat. GiGiO)
Trees of life
We don't fight
Forth right
cut me down
make pages in the book of life

I served my penance
paying sentimental sentence
attenuated the mental
in the wellness
of my center
rivets in my skin
pay attention are my fashion
Blessings that fall are my laughs
not my ashes
my roots thick
they stick to kick scripts
through granite
inoculate wannabeess
spit the duddy smell
in warm winds
deprive me of nutrient
im dry and intense
watch the the fire crackle
in the night
intill i get fed

cut my flesh
ill tell the story
all of them that came before me
lay beneath me
when you warming
and if you leaf me In the morning
Ima need you, keep returning
You keep wheezing you allergic
Im only rooted cause Im nervous

Read the names forever love within my out reach
Like my body art, the owl hollowed out me
Part of my body getting carried by the barge
The remainder you wear on you to leave within its charge
Now you read me im your cards
and you feel me in your cars
when it got the grain still
got you covered underneath me when it rain still
when it gets too hot that's really when it freeze me
I live by the sea so i always keep a breezy

she can be my savior
when flowers pollinate you
cause my arms hold the hives of bees
Share my knowledge spread my mind to seeds
I keep a woody cause my branches breed
You know what I mean

Track Name: Something (feat. Lord Lorenz)
Yo I don't have to see them glow
Don't hide it let them show
Reach in my arms and hold
You don't have to let me go
In my heart you'll find your home
Futures Won't be a lone
We don't have to be that close
But I reach you in your zone
And it's there I speak my poems

The frequencies you notice
Like the sirens in the ocean
Let them pull me in your closeness
And teach me symbiosis
And I keep you in my focus
Cause I need you you my lotus
Don't you let me go
Track Name: Barbary Coasters
Put the coaster down so you do not stain the wood grain
POur your offers down So you don't destroy his good name
She already waves she doesn't need a night cap
He feeling blessed like he sneezed in night mass

I'm gonna leave this place one day and I'm taking the coaster with me
It's not a souvenir it's a depiction of the city
And long after I'm gone this place will rot and rust
Spills my spirit over the floor and remember me by its must.
Track Name: Dharmageddon (feat. GiGiO)
Garuda Flies with kind and loving presence
And weakens down all prior armed defenses

The table has turned and there is no other way
For them to tame the rabbbit
The job of Conny catchers
Grab hold of your answers and feed them
Back to you
Make you say what they have planned
To use deceiving you
Track Name: Twinning Flames
Twerk your eyelashes so i can see your soul is wholesome
Rotate your outer body real slow like your grown n lonesome Picture us together without seperated bits of tissue
Twinning flames make federated light twice continue (X2)...twinning flames

what you say bruh- (say me out my mind+
Track Name: Mutable Codes
Planet it earth,Who plan it earth?
Tampered petals fall grind stone to churn
Be consumed decompose then returned
Every piece shared no matter where it's born
No matters wears ,no matters when it's worm
Rather it exists to be woven for warmth
Mutable codes that can turn sand to stone
with that's sandstone ,You can build stones with stand
When ever sand storms
Mutable codes, Mutuals exposed
Dark periscopes, Look deep below
Light up secrets, That's been lost alone
Let um know they beautiful, They Beautiful
Invariable is mutable
The number one reciprocal
Come over me we mutual
Adaptable, turn gas into something tangible
Turn that into something infallible
Double back we liquid animals
Sentient Beings
Sensations in aggregation
Distinctions in formation
Wandering with Samsara
Worldly and ethereal
Holy Ghost is mutable
Turns frequencies to unity
Turns discord into harmony, Lovely

Spirit seeks elevation not validation
Intelligence seeks correctness not acceptace
I come from a place called anything is possible
Born into a world when everything is scarce and everyone is scary
I just wanna fly back to abundance
I just have to lose all my luggage

Air bend with my Indigo Shoot the moon with a Nintendo superscope
Luis Guzman looking mofongo burning Palo Santo

Waking up my waves and my wages
Raising up my age and payments

Tear down all my horoscopes a new platoon of eccentric stupidos
Kuiper belts KBOs watch the dwarfs HBOs

Taking off my brakes and braces
Putting on my chains and my laces

What's a wolf man is that a liar with a sheep's skin
Or is she tired and she bored and needs fire cause she's a caged hen,

It's cold cause both our souls is naked
It's pressure cause our hearts needs there places

It's still effective to pray for someone with out telling them about it
Learning to trust instincts was the benefit of doubting

What you seek is seeking you,
but we are seeking the you that you are seeking too
I think I'm all that, but I'm not that important
Still coming harder I'm not that impotent
Go through the motions but don't know the quotients
And add to my strength in the mutable codex
Live and direct
But if my vibe is my tribes then my vibes called quest
Just a five footer beneath sea levels
Depeche Mode with three gold metals
Enjoy the silence on a digable planet
Cool like that im invisible Dammit
Kicking flows the Hope full Slowmantic
Jazzmatazz that's another gold standard
Info Wars, no Im Info Peace
Im Classical, Cause I spit Caprice
King Caprick, Adlib like Kid Capri
Long Live Bori Kane Big Daddies
Check that Technique
Rest the Bed leaks
The Water Bearers
Get Spread the best cheeks
She Got a fatty and Im erick sermon
Cause I rock the house like Pee Wee kirkland
