While your nights you'll forget

You're spending all your money on some things you'll regret

Don't really matter cause it's summertime again

Where the days are always long and bright

And the nights will last forever

The timing always feels right

Don't need no stormy weather

The summer's where you wanna be

Won't you take me back again

Or havin parties in the sand

Summer's when you wanna go

Where days never really end

The music's never stopping now

Cause summertime's back again

Singin it for the people that need it

They know they can beat it

Reaching for freedom

The second they see it

They know that we mean it

For them we believe in

They never defeated

Whenever they sinkin we lead em

To the Sounds of Summer

MOUNTAIN FEAT. CLINTON FEARON

I looked but I just couldn't see

The sun shining down on me

I see but I don't understand

My shadow when I raise my hand

Yeah we're all stumbling our way down this open road

Just trying to make it to the next stop

And we're tired but we keep our eyes open so

We can end up in the best spot

We only need to climb this mountain

And we will be free

Still we got a long way till we make it home

I know we're all a little lonely but we're not alone

I heard the sound of dancing feet

When I was lying in the street

I listened to them take command

I prayed that they would take my hand

Yeah we're all running away from something we fear

Unless we're trying to meet it head on

And that voice saying "give up" is just something we hear

When we know we gotta get on

Travel on

It's a long winding road

Hey

Travel on

No time to get bored

Hey

Travel on

Happiness will come just keep on moving

Travel on

And we will see

What will be

Must be

Just wait and see

You and me

What will be

Must be

Just wait and see

Love ones dancing with glee

WAYS OF THE WORLD

I hear you're looking for a reason

They've been running you around

And if you're looking for some peace, man

You know that we can help you out

You say you're tired of working

And getting nothing in return

You're living life for the weekend

It's setting in, starting to burn

Well let me tell you about the ways of the world

Sometimes you do exactly as you're told

Not all that glitters is made of gold

But take a risk even though it may seem

You'll never make it, like it's just a daydream

One day you're living the reality

You say you wake up every morning

Like you got a million more to go

Well if you're waiting for a warning

I'll tell you something you should know

This could be your last sunrise

You gotta try to make it shine

You won't believe how the time flies

And if you're still afraid of what you'll find…

I know you really don't think it can be

But you gotta believe me

Don't shut your eyes so tight, you can't see

I know you really don't think it can be

But you gotta believe me

Don't shut your eyes so tight, you can't see

And I know it's never easy

REDWOODZ (feat. Iya Terra)

Some people they live their whole lives in a compound

They couldn't find any other way out now

And then they came out of it like it was so easy

They turned from a flower into a strong tree yeah

So I ask you not to shed a tear

If you get scared you know I'll be here

I will always love you, I keep you in my heart

I will always be there to lead you through the dark yeah

We will always walk together hand in hand

Lead you through the forest and the desert in the sand

We're among the greatest things that grow upon this land

I'll be here to teach you and to help you understand, so

When the sun is getting low

Look at how the Redwoods grow

You forgot but now you know

Just look at how the Redwoods grow yeah

You know we all got to fall sometimes

Pick ourselves up off the ground and learn how to rise

It's like I've been down so long that I just might

Stay here for awhile while I clear my mind

So you can cut my leaves

But you can't kill my roots

And you can twist my words

But you can't stop the truth

Because it's imminent

Tell me are you listening

Universe is speaking to you

We are just the instruments

Look at the reason

Everyone's sleepin, ain't got nothin to believe in

Dreams are T.V.

They can't see the changing of the seasons

Life is a breeze

And somebody else is just fighting to ****ing be breathing

Rule of treason

Seems we're always dealing with some heathen

But we will rise

We will make it to the top

If we're clever

They can never make it stop

Plant the seed, we are free

Break the lock

And walk the walk

Never just talk the talk, everybody…

TAKE ME TO THE OCEAN

Take me to the ocean

Take me to the sea

Wash away my worries

Let my soul be free

Wash away my worries

Let my soul be...

What now, it's coming around

You're feeling cut down into the ground

So we all come together, we're making a sound

We sing "Look at all this love we've found"

Gotta raise em up, toast to the sweet life

If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right

See the sun giving me the green light

To kick back, relax and soak up the sweet sights

There's something in the air

Come and take away my cares

I close my eyes

Remember these dreams that we share

I wash it all away

You gotta give us all a break

Let the troubles of tomorrow

Wait till another day

When life's moving to fast

We can make this dream last

Just let the past be the past

Just leave it all behind

ORANGE SKY

Orange sky over desert and the land so dry

The dirt thirsts for a teardrop

It's like the heavens abandoned the sands of time

The Gods fled for the treetops

Long ago in its stead was a forest of green

Beyond all imagination

And then an ocean so blue, so deep it would seem

To swallow all of creation

And if I had the power to rewind these years

And travel back through the ages

I'd watch the story unfold through a river of tears

As I longed to rewrite these pages

You

When are you gonna wake up

You can't live life for the weekend

Orange sky and the temperature at 1:13

Them go hide from their lifeline

I know the tectonic plates shift under me

But they won't split apart in my lifetime

Sacred are the bones of the primitive man

Only had the great spirit to lean on

Palms pressed together as they sit in the sand

Praying for eons and eons

And if I had the power to rewind these years

And travel back through the ages

I'd watch the story unfold through a river of tears

As I longed to rewrite these pages

You get out of bed and wonder how much money can you rake up

Then I'm afraid you're still sleeping

When are you gonna wake up

You can't live life for the weekend

DIAMOND (feat. Jacob Hemphill of SOJA)

You're a diamond baby

And you gave your light to me

You're a diamond baby

Yes you shine so brightly

I look at you and I see stars

And the stars, they have aligned

You're my diamond and I will love you

Until the end of time

Never thought I'd wake up in the morning

And see the sunshine burning so bright

Never thought I'd make it out this darkness

But you led me into the light

Never knew a love like yours

Could knock me off of my feet

But now I know what life can be

And you made my life complete

Yeah you made my life complete

Never thought I'd look out on the ocean

Sparks of you just waving at me

Never thought I'd look up in the night sky

And see you waiting for me patiently

Never knew I'd fall so deep, I'd only sing these words true for you

My one and only precious gem

Yeah I love how you let your light shine through

Ever since I started

Same old situation

Looking at their faces

Same old reservations

It's the same question

Is it really her for me, for me

And I cannot explain it

Something has changed

I'm losing my wandering eye and impatience

Looking in the mirror

Crazy how I finally see

You right next to me, going nowhere

SIREN (feat. Stick Figure)

We're all in this together

It's alright, alright

Turn on your television

Get sucked into a world of corporate greed and get ****ed

When idle hands empty

Ego run amok

So get up

Pass the buck

We ain't got a ton of luck

We ain't got a lot of time either

Calling out my people gotta pick up the receiver

We ask the government and no they won't help neither

So we turn a naysayer to a positive believer

Rise above

They try to break you down

Don't let em get ya

Rise against the system

See the bigger picture

Sound the siren

Know that I am with ya

We're all in this together

It's alright, alright

Turn on your record player and run

Into a world of beautiful collaboration

Meditate on the melody, lyric, and the one drop

Don't stop until the revelations come

And now it's time to get clever

They try to yell quit but we reply never

They opened up the trap door

Pulled down the lever

But we made a quick escape and now we make it last forever

Switch up the melody, sound up the siren

They say eventually we're burnin' ash in the fire

They break us down but the music make us high

There's a lesson in the message, when revealed it gets quiet

Yeah there's something in the air tonight

Catch a vibe when the feeling's right

Kill the silence, ring the alarm

Sound the siren

LIFE IS A CIRCLE

I just saw the most beautiful sight I've ever seen

Her grandfather was singing to his wife as she waited for her angels wings

They were so in love with each other

They had spent their whole lives together

Nothing could ever take that away

Not even death can make our hearts run astray

Cause life is a circle and we walk it with love

Because it fills us with the beauty of life

Is a circle and we walk it with love

I just heard the most beautiful sound I'll ever hear

A voice gentle and timeless as the song that he whispered in her ear

So incredible, I couldn't help but cry

But I saw freedom through the tears in my eyes

You put aside all the noise and the chatter

Cause in the end you know the only thing that matters is

I just felt the most beautiful feeling I could ever feel

You can give the world a beautiful healing if your love is real

As I grow older, I'm learning everyday

I can't explain all the mystery away

But there's a spirit that connects me and you

And when I heard him sing I knew that it was true

It's life. It's a circle and we walk it with love

Because it fills us with the beauty of life

THE GREAT DISCOVERY

"Some people will use a symbolism of the relationship of God to the universe, wherein God is a brilliant light, only somehow veiled, hiding underneath all these forms that you see as you look around you. But the truth is funnier than that. It is that you are looking right at the brilliant light now, that the experience you are having which you call ordinary everyday consciousness - pretending you're not it - that experience is exactly the same thing as 'IT'. There's no difference at all. And when you find that out, you laugh yourself silly. That's the great discovery."

Don't wanna hear no cliche

"In other words, when you really start to see things, and you look at an old paper cup, and you go into the nature of what it is to see, what vision is, or what smell is, or what touch is, you realize that that vision of the paper cup is the brilliant light of the cosmos. Nothing could be brighter. Ten thousand suns couldn't be brighter."

Let me tell ya first, don't want no heat or no trouble

It's just we have a thirst for the beat and a bubble

Go and build your ego, we go leave you heroes in the rubble

And then we visualize our future in the mirrors of the Hubble

Don't wanna hear no cliche

Chomping at the bit but biting every word they say

Don't wanna hear no cliche

Put it on repeat, defeated when they speak in the street

Don't wanna hear no cliche

Chomping at the bit but biting every word they say

Don't wanna hear no cliche

Spin the phrase again

Poet say unoriginal sin

Ya walk around high steppin but don't see your feet

And then you're feeling so high, they don't meet the street

To be ready for the winter, gotta beat the heat

And to the righteous writer

Go and reach the peak, ya know

Every person is capable of a miracle

Steering across the city creating a verbal vehicle

Being cool, calm, collected and humble

With no hysterical ranting and raving

Paving the way

Working together with all our people, it's imminent

We'll reach the apex on our own, won't be no derivative

Striving and fighting our way to the top of the mountain

Giving it everything we have

Can't stay bolted down cause they're riveted

Limited is not a word we recognize

Great spirit listens if you give in and beckon right

Use your third eye and reply with second sight

Realize the power of your words

HONEY

I see a lot of people tripping

If they'd tie their shoes they could walk that line

They could use a good butt whipping

Maybe momma and daddy should have made them mind

I hear them talk about tomorrow

But they never give thanks for their bread that day

I watch their greedy lips moving

And they won't tell you nothing but I hear them say

Them gonna want a little more honey

Won't ya give it to em

They can never get enough

Them gonna need a little more honey

Won't ya give it to em

Give em that good stuff

Them gonna want a little more honey

Won't ya give it to em

They can never get enough

Them gonna need a little more honey

Won't ya give it to em

Won't ya give it up

One time, one time

I see a worker bee buzzing

But he don't know the beauty that he sits upon

What if we could all take a second just to stop and smell the roses

Would we get along

I hear them ache for the future

Maybe they'll be satisfied with life one day

Till then they gather that sugar

And their mouths are full but I hear them say

A little more honey, won't ya

A little more honey, won't ya

LOUD ENOUGH

Tell me are the speakers loud enough

Can you feel the baseline thumping is it tough enough

To tell me are my people loud enough

We can love enough

Tell me cause I need to know before I go

I don't have much time to sit and relax while we all unwind

To just **** and pay tax while we all run blind, no

I hear em scream "We've had enough"

But they bluff and talk a good game

The next day come and they still the same

It's like they don't even understand what I'm sayin

So tell me are the speakers loud enough

Can you hear my voice cutting through the crowd enough

Can you feel the bass line thumping is it tough enough

To break the silence and turn it into love

Now tell me are my people loud enough

Is there any hope, can we wake up proud enough

To live a life of purpose, I know that we can love enough

To get going when the going gets rough

Look where it's heading

The people scream but we're getting nowhere

We're aiding, abetting the politicians' system

Cover the constitution

We're sleeping

We're letting them get away with the steady manipulation of policy

Look at the petty, ****ty example we're setting

While we party confetti falls on the unheard innocent,

The sick, and the sweating, but the profits we're netting

Convinces all that we're ready to just turn it down, shut it off

COOL ME DOWN

The sun is rising on an east coast morning and I'm drivin

To see the waves hit the sand on the shore, so I can dive in

Road so hot, I can see the heat rising, man I'm sweatin

Ya know I gotta get in

Don't ya know I gotta get in the lovin ocean

Atlantic water come and cool me down

Pull me under, spin me around now

Atlantic water come and cool me down

It's alright now, all is right now

Ya come and cool me down in the morning

Ya come and cool me down every night

The sun is setting on a west coast evening and I'm drivin

I see the path up ahead

I've been workin, I've been striving

Life so rough, I've been stressin everyday

Ya know I'm sweatin

Ya know I gotta get in

Don't ya know I gotta get in the lovin ocean

Pacific water come and cool me down

Pull me under, spin me around now

Pacific water come and cool me down

It's alright now, all is right now

Ya come and cool me down in the morning

Ya come and cool me down every night

BREAK IN THE GLASS (feat. Chali 2Na)

All we want is to chase our own destiny

But sometimes we all let the winds of change move us so freely

How can I let another no one sow the seed

And expect Gaia to just leave me alone and allow me to be me

All I want is a fire down by the sea

Beneath the palms with my feet in the sand you can find me dreaming

Open my eyes to another in misery

Hate to see a good man fall prey to the mother****ing snakes of society

Under the sun our light will outlast

No time for waiting, life moves so fast

Change the opposition, it shall come to pass

A break in the glass, a break in the glass

Bring the night, our light will outlast

We can't relax when they move so fast

Change the opposition, it shall come to pass

A break in the glass, a break in the glass

On the path of life

The task simply is

Don't let the trash tempt me

Strictly keep it classic

And you'll surpass quickly

Powers that be

Will keep us second guessing

And asking the question

Is the glass half full or half empty

Some stars burn out

From fast entry

While others last a century

It's the mind state

Of this entire country

They want us to embrace the superficial

Make the masses feel special

While this empire

They run it corruptly

Some do it for the income

But we do it for the outcome

Some of us are active

While others just let their mouths run

No doubt son

This is not just about fun

We will not be outdone

By these cowards

Who shout scum

Upgrade your faith

Just to match your vision

And your decisions will have risen

From their natural prison

And if you listen you can hear every

Snake in the grass

And you can see them

Through the break in the glass

Wake 'em at last

Come on

Under the sun our light will outlast

No time for waiting, life moves so fast

Change the opposition, it shall come to pass

A break in the glass, a break in the glass

Bring the night, our light will outlast

We can't relax when they move so fast

Change the opposition, it shall come to pass

A break in the glass, a break in the glass

"Life exists only at this very moment, and in this moment it is infinite and eternal. For the present moment is infinitely small; before we can measure it, it has gone, and yet it exists forever…You may believe yourself out of harmony with life and its eternal Now; but you cannot be, for you are life and exist Now."

REMEMBER (THE RETURN)

Sometimes I swear I fall asleep singing

Songs in my head just to drive away the demons

To push aside any negative feelings

Can't even say what I dream

Sometimes all I hear is that clock ticking

I close my eyes and I find myself slipping back

Tearing pages out this notebook

Ripping them to shreds cause they don't say what I mean

And then I take a deep breath

Step back, relax

I think about all the good times and laughs that I shared yesterday

That I had today

I'm so grateful cause I can say

I remember what it was like to not know peace

Every waking moment a blur

And I remember what it was like to not know love

But now I receive what I return

I remember what it was like to not know peace

Every waking moment a blur

And I remember what it was like to not know love

But now I've returned

Sometimes everybody gets caught wishing

They had another life, had another mission

They gotta make that incredible decision

To trek along in service and light

We all have to make the choice to rise above it

It might be hard but grit your teeth and go and tough it out

Scream and shout, do what you will but love it

Cause this is our purpose in life

BLINDED

Blinded by the sun

You cannot see and so you stumble when you run

Blinded by the night

Your delusion and confusion keeps you fleeing from the light

Blinded by your greed

You crave possessions when true love is what you need

The writing's on the wall

You gotta read it and believe it or you'll fall

It's all about that clean mind state

You keep running further and further away

And you're still hungry after you eat

You're bringing about your own defeat

So when you need me you just call

I'll be there to catch you when you fall

You cannot nod off inside their lies

Together we'll open up our eyes

Don't be…

Blinded by the sun

You cannot see and so you stumble when you run

Blinded by the night

Your delusion and confusion keeps you fleeing from the light

Blinded by your greed

You crave possessions when true love is what you need

The writing's on the wall

You gotta read it and believe it or you'll fall

It's all about that conscious choice

Cause how can you scream without a voice

When the words that matter, they get denied

And strength comes only from deep inside

And when you need me I'll be there

To show you the way out when no one dares

To give you a light to find your way

And guide you with sight to a better day

Don't be…

Blinded by the sun

You cannot see and so you stumble when you run

Blinded by the night

Your delusion and confusion keeps you fleeing from the light

Blinded by your greed

You crave possessions when true love is what you need

The writing's on the wall

You gotta read it and believe it or you'll fall

This should be misery, literally this is their thesis

You can find positive vibes but through telekinesis

If you're righteous then you will find the rest of Earth lies in pieces

Making way in the world for the wicked through cries and appeasements

You will battle for happiness over and over again

Crawling uphill is a struggle for millions of men

But if you try then you'll find you get closer and closer again

Then you can share wisdom with those who are willing to stand

Battle for happiness over and over again…

DANCEHALL (feat. Mr. Williamz)

 I've seen the sun slip behind the sea

The stars stretching out to eternity

But baby, they just can't compare

To what you mean- What you mean to me

So I'll wait- I'll wait for you

At the dancehall

Yes I'll wait- You know I'll wait for you

At the dancehall

Staring up at the palm leaves

Salt breeze blowin- never felt so free

Me and you- yeah we were the only two

Out on the beach, and out of reach

Remember when we heard our song

I swear I could have held you all night long

I thought loving you could never be wrong

But now you're gone
Now you're gone

And I'll wait- I'll wait for you

At the dancehall

Yes I'll wait- You know I'll wait for you

At the dancehall

I say now how can I stop when you keep on keepin me going

You just cut off the current when I need it to be flowing

With every part of me aching- my heart is taking me over

And my head- It keeps spinning like I could never be sober

Cause there's another side of you that I can never ignore

You say you're leaving me baby- I say I'm missing you more

And I would never hurt you, burn you, cut you down to the core

But you got one foot on my heart and got one foot out of the door

Still I'll wait- I'll wait for you

At the dancehall

Still I'll wait- you know I'll wait for you

At the dancehall

GOLDEN (feat. Elliot Martin)

 Frost say nothing gold can stay

I guess you can't measure how much a soul can weigh

And I'll never let this love unfold and fray

So my heart will stay golden after I'm old and grey

Frost say Eden- ya know it sank to grief

Don't mean to offend you but it's not my belief

Wanna scream to the world- there's only hope and peace

When you have a gold heart and give away the gold leaf

Frost say nature's first green is gold

But depending on whether the prior scene is told, it's a cycle

Forever infinity remolds the heavens

Relax and let the dream unfold

And why is it so hard for us to see

I'm thinking maybe we're all just in such a rush to be somebody

But first ya know we must be free

And in time you will say- first I must be me…

Frost say nothing gold can stay

I guess you can't measure how much a soul can weigh

And I'll never let this love unfold and fray

So my heart will stay golden after I'm old and grey

Frost say Eden- ya know it sank to grief

Don't mean to offend you but it's not my belief

Wanna scream to the world- there's only hope and peace

When you have a gold heart and give away the gold leaf

Blessed be the water

New wave we honor

Lessons we a keep know gratitude we shout out

Live for each day inside its golden hour

Can't hold it in just give it away

Why frightened men keep fighting always?

Big world asleep but it turning

But the love will increase it no worry

Anywhere we grow the gold seed it returning

Ours is a story that begins today

Who with the power don't forget the grace

Blessed be the water

New wave we honor

Lessons we a keep know gratitude we shout out

We'll be together then

We all recover

Can't keep it in just give it away

Frost say nothing gold can stay

I guess you can't measure how much a soul can weigh

And I'll never let this love unfold and fray

So my heart will stay golden after I'm old and grey

Frost say Eden- ya know it sank to grief

Don't mean to offend you but it's not my belief

Wanna scream to the world- there's only hope and peace

When you have a gold heart and give away the gold leaf

FAIR WARNING

 Why do they try to put their reasoning aside

I look, they're teetering on pride- they get the heater and they hide

They sneak a little piece of life then hole up, obey, and abide

When all the Universe, it tries to get you reeling- get you right

Some people- they act like they don't know

Ignorant man backlines the whole show

Always looking for snack time, you won't grow

Never loosen the slack, I grab hold

This life and this music is just a part of me

We don't try to refuse it- it is not hard to see

Never gonna abuse it- I got a fair warning

So now I live my life to spread love

This life and this music is just a part of me

We don't try to refuse it- it is not hard to see

Never gonna abuse it- I got a fair warning

So now I live my life to spread love

I see the sun as always burning, always one

It never lets me down- it teaches me where to reach and where to run

So when life gets you down and people start to preach- the weight's a ton

Well girl now you know just where you can come for fun

We see the light as it is piercing through this dark and evil cloud

We hear the screaming of the system so we keep the music loud

We look for truth and beauty rising from the crowd

Father you must be proud

Mother you held it down

This life and this music is just a part of me

We don't try to refuse it- it is not hard to see

Never gonna abuse it- I got a fair warning

So now I live my life to spread love

This life and this music is just a part of me

We don't try to refuse it- it is not hard to see

Never gonna abuse it- I got a fair warning

So now I live my life to spread love

Why do they try to put their reasoning aside

I look, they're teetering on pride- they get the heater and they hide

They sneak a little piece of life then hole up, obey, and abide

When all the Universe, it tries to get you reeling- get you right

Some people- they act like they don't know

Ignorant man backlines the whole show

Always looking for snack time, you won't grow

Never loosen the slack, I grab hold

This life and this music is just a part of me

We don't try to refuse it- it is not hard to see

Never gonna abuse it- I got a fair warning

So now I live my life to spread love

SMOKE

 She likes to smoke, she loves to burn

Ya know she has to get it everywhere she turns

She likes the weed, she loves the herb

And ya know I need her more with every word

She likes to smoke, she loves to burn

Ya know she has to get it everywhere she turns

She likes the weed, she loves the herb

And ya know I need her more with every word

My first words were you're gorgeous

You caught my eye- I think you did it on purpose

I'd never give you lip service

I'd speak the truth even if you never heard this

Cause when I look at you I see the sun shining so bright

I wanna be with you the morning through and every night

She likes to smoke, she loves to burn

Ya know she has to get it everywhere she turns

She likes the weed, she loves the herb

And ya know I need her more with every word

She likes to smoke, she loves to burn

Ya know she has to get it everywhere she turns

She likes the weed, she loves the herb

And ya know I need her more with every word

She sends me pictures in the bathtub smokin

I wanna jump right in- the thought is so provoking

She's on the beach surfin and tokin

I think she loves the trees more than she loves the ocean

She'd put aside all the other little boys for me

But when it comes to the ganja I just can't compete

She likes to smoke, she loves to burn

Ya know she has to get it everywhere she turns

She likes the weed, she loves the herb

And ya know I need her more with every word

She likes to smoke, she loves to burn

Ya know she has to get it everywhere she turns

She likes the weed, she loves the herb

And ya know I need her more with every word

RESCUE

 I was looking for a way to spread my wings

I was looking to lift my soul

I was looking for a way to escape material things

I was looking to lose control

And music, it was there for me

My brothers, they were there for me

And this is what they said

Well ya gotta move fast, make the moment last

Always keep it humble even when the feelin passes

When you hear the thunder rumble and your foot is on the gas

Take a second to be grateful, look up in the sky and ask

For a lesson yeah this life is such a blessing

If you're guessing, look around and know you are blessed too

We've come together to see light in any weather

We're forever

We have come to your rescue

I was looking for a way to conquer dreams

I was looking for one a day

I was looking for a way to sew up those open seams

I was looking to run away

And my family, they were there for me

My friends, they were all there for me

And this is what they said

Well ya gotta move fast, make the moment last

Always keep it humble even when the feelin passes

When you hear the thunder rumble and your foot is on the gas

Take a second to be grateful, look up in the sky and ask

For a lesson yeah this life is such a blessing

If you're guessing, look around and know you are blessed too

We've come together to see light in any weather

We're forever

We have come to your rescue

I was looking for a way to release my pain

I was looking for some company

I was looking for someone to scream my name

I was looking for someone to be

And music, it was there for me

My brothers, they were there for me

And this is what they said

Well ya gotta move fast, make the moment last

Always keep it humble even when the feelin passes

When you hear the thunder rumble and your foot is on the gas

Take a second to be grateful, look up in the sky and ask

For a lesson yeah this life is such a blessing

If you're guessing, look around and know you are blessed too

We've come together to see light in any weather

We're forever

We have come to your rescue

ON TOP (feat. Leilani Wolfgramm)

 Steamin down the highway I'm a calm meditator

Lyric is my weapon I'm the bomb educator

I divvy up ideas- I'm a spark delegator

Droppin jaws to the floor like a shark elevator

While ya swimmin in another's sea I'm currently me

Ya payin for yesterday- I say weren't we free

I got nothin but love for a sweet reverie

That's why I gather my party up in a neat repartee

Did ya think I fell off- Nah

I been at the finish line waitin for y'all to catch up

I said I'm on top but still I don't stop

I said I already won but still I'm not done

Nibblin on aural nipples to titillate all the masses

Watchin women in painted jeans shake masterpiece asses

She needin to study and so she stays up and passes

If you see that I'm a spectacle then raise up ya glasses

Profligate professor- no waste for my successor

Success- tip of my tongue- a taste for every pleasure

No bath in my buillons but I baste in buried treasure

I lace my lap of leisure with haste in every measure

Pickin up pieces pardon the prime alliteration

Apparently people notice and perk with participation

But life is a puzzle- put it together with pride

And you'll probably find purpose if you put your ego aside

I move around a lot- I stop to spit a little

The middle is an enigma- I shop to get a riddle

Not privy to wiggle- baby I sing maybe to get all

Excited from aural pleasure like hearing a baby giggle

Did ya think I fell off- Nah

I been at the finish line waitin for y'all to catch up

I said I'm on top but still I don't stop

I said I already won but still I'm not done

I hate to see my people like a flower with the root gone

Drenched like they took a shower with their suit on

Benched- sit or you sleep- life ain't a futon

Time to strap ya boots on

Hike a million miles a week to get ya move on

Party like it won't ever peak to get ya groove on

Wig out with ya locks or be sleek and rock a buffon

Doesn't really matter- just be- and get ya truth on

Dready speak the truth mon

Did ya think I fell off- Nah

I been at the finish line waitin for y'all to catch up

I said I'm on top but still I don't stop

I said I already won but still I'm not done

HOME

I want my baby to come home

I want my baby to come home

She knows she'll never be alone

She's never gonna be alone

She gives me lovin in the daytime

She gives me lovin in the night time too

She gives me lovin in the mornin

She gives me lovin in the evening time too

She tells me everything is just right

She tells me everything is gonna be just fine

She whispers nothing will come between us

She says she'll love me till the end of time

I want my baby to come home

I want to bring my baby home

She knows she'll never be alone

She's never gonna be alone

THROUGH THE HEART

Pick up the pen like I'm pickin up the world

When I put it to the paper you can see the colors swirlin

I got an army- alphabet of fire burnin

Lyric of liquid nickel- keep this world turnin

I see the Earth as part of me, so to be this free and easy

The Movement plants a tree- sows the seed just where the seed need be

The Universe is callin sayin that it needs me

You get hungry- I just let this music feed me

So I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon

I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon

So many times I wanna stay but I gotta travel on

I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon

Side by side we unite so we see the masses move men

Been a million miles- you can see just where this truth's been

You start a riot when you see The Movement provin

To the people that we are the heavy- see the roof bend

See another side of life- try my strife but release the knife

Constantly pressured to be the best- Joshua please be my light

Baby I'm tryin, if only you could just see my plight

Then we would never have had to try to survive this fight

So I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon

So many times I wanna stay but I gotta travel on
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon

So many times I wanna stay but I gotta travel on
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon

So I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon

So many times I wanna stay but I gotta travel on
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon

RETRIEVER

 Spit out my drink on the shelf

Think to myself

What is left

Is there anything else

Hang up my belt

How I felt doesn't matter

I melt

I'm wet batter

I'm sweltering hot

But I'm not what I thought

The plot thickens then rots

Not the pick of the lot

Flick at my watch

Ticking them off like seconds

And then I cough

The trough of liquor down in my belly

Smelly with sauce

I'm jealous with thoughts

Awkward, I tell us aloft

Baby I'm trying to be good

Maybe I'm tying my hood tighter

A fighter flicking my lighter at petrified wood

Maybe I'm misunderstood

Burning and pissing in soot

Lazy but kicking my foot

Skating on thin ice and mud

Debating to weather the flood

Hating

No better than God wasting a litter of dogs

I bite them then spit and applaud

Writing a letter of fraud

To my mom, my sister then long gone

I'm wrong

I don't belong to this planet I'm on

God it's just so easy to point my finger and leave

But don't let this place get the best of me

Cause it's just

I've got one thing I need to retrieve

Don't let this place get the best of me

Now I'm in a spot I've never known

I thought I was grown

Thought I just guessed I could hold my own

So I left me alone

Started to sleep on my throne

Home is a drink and a cone

Can't even think and atone

Won't even blink at the phone

Sorry I have to be here

Couldn't just pass up the fear

Willing to give it my all to fall and laugh at the tears

Years just passing me by

Bye to my life and my pride

Why do I try

I'll just get high and stifle the fight

If I could take back what drove me mad

I wouldn't take back the bad

The greatest times that I had went with them

And even that alone is enough

Stuff the shit up inside

Puff then poof

It goes away like vision at night

Pardon me I'd give my right nut

To cut some of these scenes from this bloody debut

Strut then run at my dreams

Seems my dreams are all I need

God it's just so easy to point my finger and leave

But don't let this place get the best of me

Cause it's just

I've got one thing I need to retrieve

Don't let this place get the best of me

God it's just so easy to point my finger and leave

But don't let this place get the best of me

Cause it's just

I've got one thing I need to retrieve

Don't let this place get the best of me

HABIT 2016 (feat. Collie Buddz & Bobby Hustle)

 You know I got a habit

It ain't gonna lead nowhere

Except to the many legions of the people with a problem

But nobody cares

Cause all I do is

Sit and dream about drinking and women and music

It's just gonna

Give me another reason to use and abuse it

But still I gotta

I live and I learn

All I wanna do is burn down

And so I light it up

I live and I learn

All I wanna do is burn

And so I light it up

I live and I learn

All I wanna do is burn down

And so I light it up

I live and I learn

All I wanna do is burn

(Collie Buddz verse)

I live and I learn

All I wanna do is burn down

And so I light it up

I live and I learn

All I wanna do is burn

And so I light it up

I live and I learn

All I wanna do is burn down

And so I light it up

I live and I learn

All I wanna do is burn

I smoked a zip in an afternoon

It's 5 o'clock I'm tryna smoke all evening too

So weh you wan do, do you have a next link

Cuz I got a habit and it need addressing

You know I wanna hold it

Break it up and roll it

Twist it up and fold it any kinda way

I'm an addict like the ceiling

In need of that healing

If I can't have it Ima feel some type of way

Cuz when we start smoke we nuh stop smoke

I'm from the west coast riding with the best smoke

You know seh it's The Movement Collie and the Hustle

In the streets dem see me moving ganja man a hustle

Still you know I got a way of vanishing like the smoke in the sky

I gotta have it to manage the pain like smoke in my eye

Sometimes I light it up just to smoke and get high

Ya I gotta habit man I smoke to get by

You know I got a habit and I know I don't have it to give away

If I see it I'm gonna grab it

My mind is a mess and I'm always stressing

And maybe I'll never need this drink atop a tablet

Because I think my eyes are playing tricks on me

I think it's easy to see but I can't believe me

Cause every time she brings a bottle of wine I'm fine

Pass the chalice I know that you'll never leave me

I live and I learn

All I wanna do is burn down

And so I light it up

I live and I learn

All I wanna do is burn

And so I light it up

I live and I learn

All I wanna do is burn down

And so I light it up

I live and I learn

All I wanna do is burn

WILD TIME

To all my friends up in Philly

And to my family down in Charleston too

For all my faults please forgive me

Didn't mean to be so rude

I miss my sister out in Rainbow City

I miss my mom and dad out in Columbia too

I only pray that you believe me

God only knows my words are true

My eyes water as I scan the night sky

And I dream of everything that we might do

I fall asleep praying please just let me wake up

I need another day to make it come true

It's been a wild time loving you

Hop on a plane out to the west coast

To San Diego to record some tunes

Spend some time out in the salt and the sand

Watch the waves by the light of the moon

I thought of you staring at the Grand Canyon

And in the bitter cold out in Niagara Falls too

I only pray that you believe me

God only knows my words are true

My eyes water as I scan the night sky

And I dream of everything that we might do

I fall asleep praying please just let me wake up

I need another day to make it come true

It's been a wild time loving you

I miss my friends up in Philly

I miss my family down in Charleston too

ECHO

We walk this ground till the leaves turn brown

And the springtime calls us again

We wobble as the world spins around and around

It reminds us of the spaces we've been

We see the new day bring the sun and the moon

And whisper our secrets to the dead

Our voices echo in triumph and doom

Only the spirits will remember what we said

And they say "nothing's gonna be the same

Everything is gonna have to change"

But we keep on pushin like a steaming train

Hoping that the fire will remain

But I say everyone will know our name

Spoken by the people or the page

And maybe we'll live on in the wind and the rain

To see our children do the same

FREE LAND feat. RAFA

When you're runnin round sinking your hole in the ground

Thinkin the role that you found is merely a mole in the mound

Just your little place in the loud empty of space

You're not proud to be the face in the crowd

Lonely, you're making me now

So if you want to be free

You gotta follow the sea

You gotta swallow the me

Swallow the I in the team

You got a right to be mean,

Not so much so that you seem

To be the devil it's green

On the other side so just be

Blazin it up

We're burning it down

Bust open me up

You're never turning me down

Smokin it up like it's the

Finest chronic on the tree

Make every word that you speak

Make it be heard by the people

So absurd that you think

You cannot live without drinking

And you sit and you scream

Thinkin you're shittin on dreams

But in the reality, you are just cuttin the c.r.a.p

Wipin it clean, kickin and fighting the man

Flying with holes in your hands

Crying "no one understands"

Eyeing the bottles and cans

Trying to bottle the fans,

Music and passion and dance

Up inside you but you can't

Take a break, rave and you rant

Sit in your cave, you're an ant

Know you're a brave elephant

And you can behave when you can

Be not a slave or the man

Will whip you on the way to free land

SIDE BY SIDE

The morning always seems like a dream when I wanna wake up

The mist on the river Styx tellin me I gotta pay up

I sell my soul when I sleep man the reaper's really gonna rake up

Cause I'm pushin down the daisies how much time is it gonna take up

The day breaks late in the haze still under the moon

Faraway stars callin me to come back to my tomb

Gotta get my mind right set the station to the track of my tune

Bassline thunder in your ceiling now were wreckin your room

And now we're side by side preachin the power of sound

And when your mind's ready and right

Just lift your feet off the ground go smoke a blunt in the clouds

And now we're side by side preachin the power of sound

And when your mind's ready and right

Just lift your feet off the ground go smoke a blunt in the crowd

My life always seems like a dream when I'm sippin my cup

Got my band behind me and you know that we been livin it up

I got my girl behind me and you know I'm always feelin her love

Clouds on the horizon you know I'm lookin down from above

SWEET LIFE

I was just a bad boy

You were just a young good looking girl

I took you to a party

And we listened for a while

Music it was in our hearts

Melody was in our heads

We sank into the ocean

And it made us both smile

But we had to grow up, yeah you know we

Put the shore behind us and we

Put the earth between us

And we lived our lives apart

But now that your hand's in mine

The smell of salt is stronger

And the waves they crash louder

Now that I have you in my heart

But I don't wanna be loved

If I'm livin this life without you

I would wanna give up

Cause I wouldn't know what to do

And I will never ask much

Cause my wish has already come true

Babe you are the one

The sweet life is coming soon

POPUL VUH

Won't be tricked no matter what the popul vuh says

Wont be sick eating magic in the Apache rez

Not no stickman, don't draw me no princess

Keep my eye on another sky

Keep my eye on my brother's life

Won't be stunned by the bible recreation

Won't be shunned by no ignorant religion

Won't be won over by written contradiction

Keep my eye on another sky

Keep my eye on my sisters life

Reality is too cool, too cool for you

Too cool for school, the books they can't be true

If you like to drool over deities too

I am hunbatz with a tail in Tulum

Are you a sesspool for the dripdown from tools

Used to be players in a triptown for fools

Tefuse to be used by your idols and ghouls or

I am hunbatz with a tail in Tulum

MOONSHINE

I got nothing but love for Chully's bassline

I got nothing but love for my herbs

Just give me something that I can believe in

Just give me something to justify my words

Just let me have something I can feel and I can see

Wanna hear the music from the mountain and the beach

Keep it goin forever as long as we can reach

The sun and moonshine

Side by side together we be vile but we breathe

Through the chalice and the smile you will see we'll never leave

Cause the peace is in the ganja just as long as we can drink

The sun and moonshine

I got nothin but love for Gary's snare drum

I got nothin but love in my cup

Just give me something that I can believe in

Just give me something to justify my love

Lovin Cali livin on sun and moonshine

I got nothing but love for my gifts from god

I got nothing but love for my band

We know that we've got something to believe in

We got something that we can understand

GIFT

I wake up in a beautiful apartment

I got my dog at the foot of my bed

I got no enemies, ain't got no target

This is the fruit of life, the reason to be

And I'm waiting to see how my book is read

Turn the page and...

I take a sip of the breeze through the screen door

Cigarette smoke, artwork in the air

If you take a moment, just look, it will mean more

This is the fruit of life, the reason to be

And I'm waiting to see if you even care

Cause you know that you...

You are a gift to the planet

How will you live if you don't even understand it

You are a gift to the world

Be thankful, what you have is just enough

Be thankful for what you have and rise above

BE EASY

Brian told me sometime long ago that it fades

When you're doing the same thing, pursuing the same dreams

I gotta tell him, yeah I know sometimes this life stings

Too loud your ears ring, too proud these girls scheme

But he knows that, we ain't no bricks in the wall

Shit, we can't laugh no more without the alchohol

And then I see my baby with a smile so bright

I can't live this world without her beautiful light

I can't live this world without fightin my fight

But I can't stop my plight so I just dream every night

Athena asks me to please pass the rum

I know the future's callin, best is yet to come

My baby asks me to please pass the rum

I know the best is yet to come

So please please don't you die on me

The trees these they got roots underneath

Time for everybody to make their own peace

You reap what you sow, so on my knees I'm just like

Ease ease, god be easy today

Got so much more that I've been wantin to say

You knew we'd miss our brothers but you took them away

So I only got time to play, if I only had more time to pray

Remember that night on a sacred grave when we played

I've never been the same way, I think my life changed

Then he told me, "give me something I wanna hear,

Make my problems disappear, no fear but a cold beer yo"

I feel ya brian we ain't no bricks in the wall

Shit we can't laugh no more without the alchohol

ATLAS

I got a tripod to hold up my atlas

Got many missions with a map on my door

If you could find a way to pick a path you'd be at this

You'd never need me to search anymore

I got a reason to hold up my fists

I got a planet on the top of my shoulders

Always a season for taking a risk

Don't let your world get too much colder

When we were young, time stood still

Upon its hill

Play as they may, angels lay and still they will

Getting their fill

Will we be the same again

When this all ends

Can you take a step back

And see when time begins

MILE HIGH

It's the first day of summer in the mile high

Sun shinin memories they file by

I got my whiskey on my mind, weed pile high

I leave the past behind and then I smile wide

I was thinkin bout blinkin for a second I reckon

I was a mess and I was checkin out of my head,

Learned my lesson

Went to prison on a mission

To stop my people from listenin

To end my job or my life,

I wonder which one was missin

I got kicked out of my old house

Spit out of the cold house

Found out that I will kill

Any intruder with a bold mouth

And now I'm sittin chillin with a silent mind

Lookin towards the future, put my troubles behind

I was drinkin everyday, that probably made me be crazy

Maybe it gave me all my game but nobody could save me

And still I had to do my job, play a show on the daily

Maybe they hate me cause I left but I'm back now

yeah baby

ANOTHER WOMAN

Hey little angel you're my girl

The reason that I'm here baby you're my world

Never gonna be another woman like you

You're my little princess you're my queen

I couldn't live without you where would I be

Never gonna be another woman like you

The sparkle in your eyes

Men gotta stare get hypnotized

Always gonna be a good man to you

You teach me wrong from right

Love your gorgeous smile love your light

Always gonna be a good man to you

When she walks, other men they follow

When she talks, it makes it hard to swallow

You tell me that you're mine

When you talk like that it really blows my mind

Always gonna be a good man to you

I love you all the time

Your touch gives me chills straight down my spine

Always gonna be a good man to you

My best friend, with benefits you know that never end

You know I always come back

GALAXY

I watched you run away and close your eyes like you were just sleeping

And maybe it's true that you dream better when the road's behind you

But I saw you pick apart all them daily truths that could always get to you

I know that you were watching me watching you

I heard you shake the dice and bow out like a criminal pissed at the rain

And maybe it's true that you feel better when you can kiss that pain

But I saw in you a galaxy of unspoken things when you looked in the mirror

And I knew that we were looking at the same damn thing

So I say

Let me be your guardian light when you walk the night

Let me show you everything I learned when your back was turned

Let me be the tree you lean upon when your feet grow weary

Let us live life everywhere we turn

Cause we say
