Kaje Wise Paradox Paradise is by far one of the most impactful pieces of art I've ever listened to. It picks me up when I'm down, and is an absolute banger through and through. Terazoa's message, songwriting and producing are absolutely masterful. I'm so excited to see what this artist does next, but in the mean time, I'm appreciating this incredible debut :) Thank you Terazoa for inspiring me! Favorite track: Up Tu It.

Who am I? Music for the frontline To nourish the human kind I’mma do it ‘til I die Love, it isn't just hugs it’ll break you down for the Truth, man its up to You what you're puttin’ out huh What you puttin out huh? What you puttin down huh? Are you workin to split us up or grow as One What you puttin out, huh? Can we dream bigger Imagine what hasn’t happened And receive vision -Spell it out- No more normal, the norms oppressive -Let it out The force in power’s depressin’ I wanna abolish all this cruel nonsense If we’re honest it ain’t solving any root problems, Just another band aid for a toxic construct, lemme guess, man made Like your phony campaign ugh I’m sick of dealin’ with it all Up and in it ‘til the empire falls Any day now But I’m dedicated to the cause For the long haul Channel my energy Into my artistry Bringin’ the unity That’s doin me I’m doin my thing Livin’ my life Givin’ the World what I’ve got When we triumph the bigotry and Love has its victory I’mma throw the dopest festival and solo like “It’s over yo!” It’s over Takin you on a ride Takin you Who am I? Intimately immersed with the work and my craft illuminating the cave as I traverse the cracks Pull through with a laugh While life as we know it goes away And it never comes back -Who am I?- Propellin’ with the people gellin’ with the resonance Fell in, well, I dove off the precipice Meldin’ with a trove of the elements Who am I Grew up chillin’ with a Mystic True wisdom livin’ within the misfit When she finished I could see how they missed it The culture is sick Who am I The psychonaut operating this vehicle for Love to rescue life To feed your soul just enough to bend your mind The chemical to your hub that sends you flyin’ Who Am I I had the bolt from the core of the cosmos strike me Reborn in the Nebula Humbled on my knees in awe Of the Elegant intelligence embedded in it all Reborn in the Nebula Grippin’ onto a whirlpool Sinkin’ into a beacon of spirit speakin’ the real truth Coalesce with the rest of cosmos Out of body of out of mind and beyond that Spinnin on the infinite wheel Where I dissolve at Who am I? Who am I? Who am I? All lives are intertwined All souls are made of love Who am I Terazoa Animate Earth Honor the land that gave birth to all life livin It has the wisdom Listen for your mission; receive the gift of prescient vision We all belong to what we are called to One Love One Fist We’re interconnected Inner reflections of Source Retrieve your power; Let the truth be known In hour eleven the future must be grown Move with it, play with it, Let it flow Terazoa Yo

Trapped 04:08
Zoom I’m ready to propel to a better life Vroom Time to get the hell out my way and drive No they don’t know it all Let your mind explore it all No they don’t know, let your mind explore, let your mind explore, let it! My god I went deep Just a young trippy kid havin’ fun ‘til it hit when it all was revealed to me Nobody has a clue what is going on I remember seein’ it on my teacher’s face I embodied the free soul she craved “Mrs. all you do is regurgitate” Around here havin’ your own thought isn’t common place, listen We’re the ones, humans, creating heaven or making hell Let’s take a dip into the infinite inkwell Rewrite what was wrongly rewritten Language has been causin’ the anguish Raising up and shapin the brains with a poorly painted imagination of what the world is We can bust outta the trap, this isn’t where it’s at, Come reconnect with real life Come reconnect with real life Zoom I’m ready to propel to a better life Vroom Time to get out my way and drive No they don’t know it all Let your mind explore it all Yeah the trap gonna snap And the hope won’t die cuz We Bringin it Bringin Bringin it back Real growth is when we stomach the Truth To look it in the eyes and see there’s somethin’ to do To heal the wounds And become attuned Bystander or liberator it’s up to you Peepin’ through the portal of my pupil but my pineal is keepin’ me from fallin’ for the fraud, people think they really know God From the side lines? I think you’d rather have the bliss of a blind eye Complicit in a system in denial to admit it Didn’t build it but we benefited so we better fix it The ignorance will be spittin ‘til we kick it to its last breath My big heart will be workin’ ‘til my damn death Dismantle the trap and all its reiterations Battle the past it’s time for reintegration We’re the beautiful human kind but we just ain’t right Come reconnect with real life

Retrieve 03:04
Man, Woman Black, White Good, Evil Love or Hate Gay Straight Nation State Is it the beginning or the end We’re caught up in these boundaries and it’s messin with our heads Humanity is floundering and we need to catch a breath First step we must let go Admit that we really don’t know Now walk down our own road We will fall into freedom Godless but connected regardless Divinity’s intervening infinity is my being Won’t let go of their beliefs because they’ve had them for years In fear of what they’ll lose but it’s all right here Right here If they tell you what you can be, then They tell you what to believe in If they’re keepin you from dreamin’ Retrieve your inner power! You want that climactic conclusion, but all you got is erratic confusion No resolution, what is the solution? Livin out your truth, keep doin what you’re doin Worst case scenario We will be forced to grow Find ourselves in the flow We will fall into freedom Everyday when I serenade I break the barricade Leavin so much love behind when I die I’ll barely fade On the forefront with the forerunners Grab the paint we gonna pave the way None of this can stay the same Are you livin the life or you livin a lie for societies eye Afraid of the pain and the shame in the way so you don’t even try Love yourself, show yourself That’s your own right If they tell you what you can be, then They tell you what to believe in If they’re keepin you from dreamin’ chokin you from your breathing Retrieve your inner power!

Serving my body good health Perfectly hard on myself I am a genius My life is meaningless Vessel impermanent Energy infinite Never quite satisfied Havin’ the time of my life Chillin on the bench alone, knowin’ I am my own home Comin from the future Livin in the moment Heal the world with humor While I bring the funk The end is imminent so I’mma have some fun In between one and nothing I balance In the moment for fun but upin’ my talent I let this be In between one and nothin I balance Sittin’ under the sun and huggin’ the planet And I’m relieved Blastin sonics on my phones ridin’ I’m on my Cal Skate stoned Vibin with the sage, fist bump his amethyst, in bliss I cruise to Nikwa Chaku got a blunt at the water front, bout to f’ with poetry, kickin it under a maple tree, See where this weed is taking me Creativity is a staple like starch I live for the arts Funneling meaning from mystery on this blistering march Scribbling lettering til I’m parched In between one and nothing I balance In the moment for fun, upin my talent I let this be In between one and nothin I balance Sittin’ under the sun and huggin’ the planet And I’m relieved Finna hit the herb and chill the turbulence, swervin it Curbin my nerves with a relaxing reverberance Flippin inside out in a mystic experience Who I am, who I’m not now I’m seein’ no difference I Respect those who dug deepest And I Honor a Goddess as she ought to be capiche this? Divine feminine energy’s my weakness Overcome, all this love has got me speechless Breakin from the stun running toward understanding of self Punchin through the walls of this structural cell Lettin’ the earthquake shake the sacred through me Intuition illuminates the true me I’m a human who dies with spirit in his eyes Beggin’ ego to face fear and keep the dream alive Prayin’ to see a fulfilled life In between one and nothing I balance In the moment for fun but upin’ my talent I let this be In between one and nothin I balance Sittin’ under the sun and huggin’ the planet And I’m relieved

Sing or Swim 03:26
I’m on the lookout For the undiscovered, undercover, explorer, observer, of the unseen unheard You heard I’m on the lookout For the self lead, elf head millennial perennial fed I’m lookin’ out Keepin’ eyes peeled for the peace filled life livers givin’ it all that they got, that’s hot I'm out lookin’ for the real ones ready to heal up and bring what everybody’s heart and soul needs Rise up in flames to the occasion Okay, sun one with the helium But I’m still the sensei of sensation Keepin’ calm in complexity Clear connection Priority is health then the wealth piles on Common mission You watching? It’s on Look out We flowin’ like lava Bodhisattva adventure centuries into the future My waking eye and pumpin heart is armed by the divine My entire life I want to feel the divine Close in contact backlight focus open outward notice power It guides by what I like Close in contact backlight focus open outward lotus flower I’m alive alright Unlearn all the myths that hurt us Unearth all the gifts and purpose Subvert all the rifts with courage A fundamental shift is in the works You don’t have to force what’s yours let it find ya Rest in the void ‘til the spark ignites ya When it all slows and cools down inside us The divine arising reunites us Fly Close in contact backlight focus open outward notice power It guides by what I like Close in contact backlight focus open outward lotus flower I’m alive alright I roll with spirits through the B.S. now I’m rockin in the macrocosm under my skull, render me full off chemicals Soul benders never get old Evading a hurricane to enter a super cyclone Swimming to escape but what in the hell did I know Singing on my way now into the inward spiral Where I face all that I’m for Not nervous I’m ignited my purpose has been decided I’m a lover not a fighter but I’ll fight for love to bring you higher In an intimate intervention with the innermost depths Intricate beautiful weaving interbeing one breath When the illusion crumbles Love is what's left Shake surround carry ya Break the sound barrier Cranked loud in my chariot Marinade in hysteria Parading through reality and gliding on the mystery Divinity is infinitely within the vicinity you feeling me?

Up Tu It 04:49
I’m on a mystical journey In this trippy universe I’m serving Yeah I’m givin’ up control Surrender to my soul I’m divin’ into the rabbit hole The ride I’m on feels like a catapult My spirit is sprintin’ wild like an animal Without the sonic source I’m only half as whole Oh yeah I love what I do No doubt I’m uprootin’ the truth Oh wow! What have I found Yeah you and I, livin’ an historic life We have everything we need to thrive Survivin’ the unpredictable unprecedented times Diggin deeper Climbin’ higher ‘til the day I die I’m on this trip with you I know we’ll fly right through this Colliding with a kaleidoscope of data everyday Improvising realigning making sure I’m stayin sane Keep your eyes on the skies Reach inside feel alive Ha what a funny thing (funny thing) Could you come somewhere in between (a bit extreme) We should be lookin underneath (underneath) all the superficial shit we judge Time to nose dive Into the whole hive I’m here for the full ride Been ready my whole life My soul is devoted but I’m keepin’ my spirit free There’s no sugar coatin’ it we’re livin’ through bitter history No kiddin’ B The future is lookin crazy but we’ll fly right through From the east to the west let’s bloom Free the universal beat from our chest’s let’s groove From the jungle to the ice Send the echo to the desert through the sky Get the humans in tune Yeah the planet is shiftin’ Our system is rippin’ us apart Why would you want to change it? Cuz I’m in love with it, so I’m feelin’ up to it What if the world don’t want you to save it? Well I’m in love with it so, fuck it I’m up to it I’m not goin’ numb no I’m burnin up When will we wake up because we’ve had enough I feel what you feel, it’s trying to crush me too Slowly approaching a living hell, I see it too well, is there light in the tunnel I can’t tell I see what you see, it's trying to scare me too Painfully aware, breakin’ the cold stare To every human that’s hurtin’ I’m screamin’ homie I’m here You know I’m taking all of this on with you ‘Til there’s nothing left to live for, but everything to die for We’re backing each other reaching deep to combine our life force I sense what’s ahead, trust me I’m up to it I’m on this trip with you I know we’ll fly right through

I’m movin! I got my wheels spinnin’ into the future One love one fist one movement I got a growin’ heart for every human We’re all ignorant nobody got it all right Every person got a point from the pain of their own plight Sunlight sung me the secret to life To love myself and immerse with moment as I merge with One Love one Fist Get it get it One Earth one Bliss One Love one Fist Get it One Home one Bliss I merge with the one love Magnetized Sun rays lifting all delusion Off my mind One Love one Fist One Earth one Bliss One Love one Fist On Home one Home yeah We’re comin’ from underground (Underground) Creative innovatives are shakin’ the whole thing Yeah we gonna make them wonder how (Wonder how) We faded the hate away and replaced it with a wave Gettin’ pitted through an apocalypse Pickin’ up momentum Feelin fitted and gifted while we get some These corrupted pundits got me laughin’ I see what’s happenin’ I know none of this is lastin’ One Love one Fist One Love one Fist Breakin’ it down They takin’ us ‘round on a rollercoaster Get off the ride Then look at the line Where the hell we goin? I can imagine a way better world and we’re going to get it The status-quo It has it go Or we’re goin’ with it So I’m committed to livin’ my biggest dreams on the mission No justice no peace so don’t fuck with me no I can imagine a way better world and we’re going to get it

Yeayuh 04:01
Gettin’ drop dead dizzy from circlin’ around Lookin’ at each other like “what’s going down?” Humbled by love and summoned by sound Wonderin’ how we’ll ever climb out Receivin’ the resonance Weavin’ the woven web We have a lot to unravel To know the truth is so hard Will I let the truth move through me I’mma let the truth be known Yeayuh I’mma let the truth be known Feeling the present like a nostalgic memory, feel what it meant after it ended, That’s how it tends to be mentally But the source pours force in the now, forever see I can't ignore all that I’m for, I’m living purposefully Can’t purchase me I’m priceless Workin’ with the timeless Thread of the deep mystery pull back and see the hint of me left on your lips My emotions they on a trip, my philosophy there it go slip Two whole worlds collide True love coincides Spinning in rapturous flight Divinity captured in time This is beyond any thoughts in my mind Everything’s flowing so deeply inside I can feel who I am at my innermost I am everybody and an empty ghost Who see who get it who knows Will you let the truth move through you Spread it around let it out like Yeayuh Spread it around lettin’ out light

Raise You 02:20
You’ll get born into a world that doesn’t know how to raise you Arrivin’ perfectly but they will try to change you They’ll program your only tool With unconscious baggage If you’re an exception to their rule Then you’re a savage I’m sorry kid the collective ego’s corrupt It’s just how it was gonna be but that don’t mean give up Don't let them mess with your head it’s precious You’ll have to grow into the one that steps up That’s life It’s like that Wakin’ up, growin’ up, showin’ up, cleanin’ up, we teamin’ up, beamin’ up dreamin’ up come see what up Tryin’ to keep our lives from turnin’ into dead ends To travel straight ahead we had to get our minds bent We were born into a world that didn’t know how to teach us consistently insisting on ignorantly deceiving us But the whole world was right there Right here With every answer to human fear That’s life It’s like that

Caught off guard Avant-Garde What a world Being pulled toward the edges I can’t tell where this ends yet Oscillatin’ contemplatin’ where I’m going What I’m makin’ takin’ breaths Deep breaths Rethinkin’ In sync with Me Philosophizing Eyes are widening Finally realizing where my life is inviting me Through an ensemble of phronesis I assemble all the pieces Hopin to fall into tranquility I know that it exists in me My heart keeps beating so my lungs keep breathing My mind keeps thinking so my soul keeps feeling My spirit keeps dreaming I ain’t ever disappearing I know, I know it I glow, I’m glowing I know, I know it I won’t go, I’m not going Anywhere I unveil, unravel and tunnel deep My mind isn’t sticky I’m too picky with beliefs I won’t let mental images limit the possibilities The zen, dao, then, now flow of it all is within me Infinite horizon Window pane behind my eyelids Somnambulant but omniscient Life is a dream offering My mind keeps thinking while my soul keeps feeling My spirit keeps dreaming I ain’t ever disappearing I know, I know it I glow, I’m glowing I know, I know it I wont go, I’m not going It can never be explained Only understood The whole thing is a maze You’re never gone for good

We will let go of everything we think we know We’ll find there’s more To what we really are What we really are The plot gets a bit thicker, when you grock a bit more of the big picture, not as simple as just pickin’ sides Time to open up the inner eye I coalesce with the rest of the Universe I know I’m dead in the head if I deny its worth No depth lost on me I reset now I’m free I got my whole life planned out, I’m gonna roll with the unknown We know we know the flow Death life dark light one “I” One I We will let go of everything we think we know We’ll find there’s more To what we really are What we really are We’re interconnected inner reflections of The center of heaven it’s never endin’ Love We’re never perfected til’ no one’s neglected Yuh Keepin calm and collected I’ve got my directive To Love the World The people are gonna see it as we draw the curtain We just need to evolve it’ll all be worth it See ourselves in everything What a beautiful creation We’ll have to dissipate and pop like a drop in the ocean Like a getaway we launch have a Godly vacation Death life dark light One I Death Life Dark Light One I We will let go of everything we think we know We’ll find there’s more To what we really are What we really are

My vision is manifesting and I’m feelin dope The whole world could eat me alive and I’d find a way to cope I’ve got your love backin’ me up Let’s rise above we have to erupt (erupt) This wonderful undulation Nothing is more amazing Than the life we are creating baby I’m in love with your body, mind, soul and potential See the future in your eyes like ahhhh Yeah we about to launch, call it a renaissance, I’m seeing a broken world and this music is my response Makin’ love makin’ moves makin’ history Carry the torch, now the Truth has got them listening I’m feeling the electricity The conscious shock wake got me gitty The job is gettin’ done, I’m ready to toke the bud After a full day of the grind kickin back like ahhhhh And I look over at you I got you, you got me, yeah we got it all I finally made it With your Love, with your Love I got my goddesses with me They got my consciousness shifting I’m feelin’ blessed Passion pumpin through my chest But it ain’t easy lovin’ so hard But I gotta give in and I’m gonna keep lovin Oh my my God! Your beauty is radiatin’ Oh I, I’m in awe! Yeah you be satiatin’ Everything that I could ever ask for And then some Gettin’ ready cuz I’m headin’ into an ascension Now that we’re together I’m grown I’m ready to weather the storm Karma’s coming so we better transform The chaotic has become the new norm But I know I’m on the right path And I know that you got my back With you I’ll get through anything so can we make a pact Keep this love intact I’m at peace with the point I’m at I feel like I finally made it leaning back like ahhh

Don’t try to hide from yourself Just fall in love with yourself Still young but I’m gettin’ older Used to be fun but I’m gettin’ colder Gettin’ back in touch dead flame becoming a smolder Makin’ a name mind molder I know what it is, gettin’ your innocence ripped out of you So short lived, short and sweet kept it crisp Screw this cartoon shit Strip the script be amused by the movement What role to play in this social game Numb but no pain like novacane Crucified at the crux of the crucible Unified on the cusp and it’s beautiful What you should know? Why would I try to put it in words It never works I can’t encapsulate The Love that I have for the world For y’all For all So much noise How to trust a voice Heh wow, look at us now People got they’re plans punked and they’re wondering how To keep runnin’ the same engine but its sputtering out Afraid of bumpin’ into the other but we’re comin’ around To common ground I’m holdin’ it down I’m steppin’ into the gateway no goin’ back Young kid at the beginning and I’m happy with that I’m calming my soul down for the heroes journey man What pulls us through No memory or fantasy will do What pulls us through Just listen to the music I don’t know how to act my age What a wacked out sage I wanna snatch that page And get a glimpse of a hint or a clue to what we’ve been through But I know better than to try to explain Pulled up in the belly of a steady collapse What a beast, heavy headed and it’s ready to smack But as messy as it’s gettin’ we are right on track I hope you feel, hope you feel, hope you feel that Feel That We can cruise through With open mind open heart yeah Open mind open heart free soul Heaven is ours forever It isn’t how they said it was The Truth is for you to become Nowhere to run We share one self One Sun Don’t try to hide from yourself Just fall in love with yourself

Who am I? The thinker What a thought The feeler Quite a feeling The doer Is done No knower Just knowing Join the dance The terror is hilarious They call me Jantz No error but its precarious No other to be scaring us Fear frightens itself And its fluttering is witnessed Make no distinction Who are you to extinguish Eternity, the forever now Raptures as it captures itself as the audience And bows Love will live with all for no credit Futile juveniles pretending to end it Do gooders makin’ trouble ‘Bout to get they’re bubble popped Good God Allah Brahman Jah and Yaweh hallelujah This is IT Here we are Rollin’ as an entourage rockin’ around the mystical mystery Welcome to the ring Who we are Nothin’ at all Everything at once At the Heart Paradox Open wide for paradise On my God We did it again Ventured off got lost for fun Not fun no more you say? Better return but, but which way? It will fall Right into place Beautiful but not pretty (Play your part) If the sun don’t shine Let the rain fall Terazoa Yo

about

Paradox Paradise is a full length album that features Jantzen’s multi-instrumentalism, vocal performance and writing. It was co-produced and mixed by Krista Liana, and mastered by Mike Bozzi at Bernie Grundman Mastering. The album’s cover art was hand painted by Ila Rose.

Paradox Paradise explores life and death, mystical states, growing into one’s life purpose, and developing a deeply felt awareness of social justice and ethics to create a world of harmonious interbeing. It is a uniquely direct, energetic and passionate album, created in part during an international pandemic, ongoing climate disaster and socio-political upheaval. However, this album is only the first of what will become a dynamic discography featuring different genres, instrumental and vocal styles and collaborations with other artists.
