Visions - Album

  • What are we here for

    What are we here for

    We're here to learn, to cultivate, to develop, to wake up

    As the ability to become more mindful, more aware grows

    and one can feel it, that quality of observing, of knowing.

    Then we can turn that back onto the mind itself.

    I love it when I feel like this

    Everything cool man- it is what it is

    Don't mess with it

    Maybe cause I'm born on the east side

    Still I take that trip

    People come around like they stepped down out a rocket ship

    Can't get with it

    That's why I'm givin u the peace sign

    That's why I'm givin u the peace sign

    That's why I'm givin u the peace sign

    When ya gonna see that light?

    U gotta look around man- you've been trapped inside

    Try taking flight

    See what it's like at the tree line

    Life gonna bring u down

    But man, u gotta pick yourself up off the ground

    Just don't make a sound

    Cause u know everything gonna be fine

    know everything gonna be fine

    Yeah everything's gonna be alright

    It's so crazy but it don't phase me

    I stay the same

    Putting up 2 on the daily

    It's so crazy but it don't phase me

    I stay the same

    Putting up 2 on the daily

    Putting up 2 on the daily

    Putting up 2 on the daily

    Putting up 2 on the daily

    Putting up 2 on the daily

    It's so crazy but it don't phase me

    I stay the same

    Putting up 2 on the daily

    It's so crazy but it don't phase me

    I stay the same

    Putting up 2 on the daily

    Putting up 2 on the daily

    Putting up 2 on the daily

    Putting up 2 on the daily

    Putting up 2 on the daily

  • I got the sun in the palm of my hand

    I see the heat rising up off the hot sand

    I swear sometimes I don’t know where I am

    don’t know where I am

    where I am

    I need to see the compass please

    I think I was trying to make the long trip east

    They told me to follow the falling leaves

    the falling leaves

    the falling leaves

    But I followed too long

    Got me stuck on a song

    Watched, I was all along

    The second I knew I was wrong

    I turned and I came upon a new dawn

    Stuck in my seat, in my head, in the heat

    It was gone in the blink of an eye in the street

    Just a minute under heaven

    And a million never given

    It was written

    I’d be livin underwater as my penance

    Woah

    Underneath it all

    I was called to the deep blue sea

    Ooh

    I will never fall

    I’ve been called to the deep blue sea

    Woah

    Underneath it all

    I was called to the deep blue sea

    Ooh

    I will never fall

    I will never fall

    My eyes sinking in the depths of an endless dark

    Staring in the abyss runs the warmth out my blood

    My heart’s seeking to conquer fear with love 

    Outstretch my hands to the realms up above 

    Another word spills from my lips to the dirt 

    Paving the way so my soles nah hurt 

    Another word rolls off my tongue like the herb

    Blazing a flame so the light disperse

    darkness, sharpness, of his, tongue just

    Reaches, masses, in the, vastness

    Etched in the emerald tablets 

    Called into the sea like Atlantis 

    Woah

    Underneath it all

    I was called to the deep blue sea

    Ooh

    I will never fall

    I’ve been called to the deep blue sea

    Woah

    Underneath it all

    I was called to the deep blue sea

    Ooh

    I will never fall

    I will never fall

  • If I could only see your future

    Wouldn’t need more

    I would know that you were alright

    And I could just be at peace

    Knowing that you got this

    Wouldn’t have to lay awake all night

    Sometimes it’s so hard to love somebody so much

    You wanna guide them through

    But the universe has its own way of seeing time

    And I get blinded by the sight of you

    Let us have visions

    Of a lifetime

    We gotta listen to understand

    And we make decisions

    On a timeline

    We gotta give them to the land

    I just can’t forget about how we used to sit around

    Laughing till the sun came up

    You and I were meant to be together

    You were sent to me

    Whether you believe it or not

    Used to see us dreaming

    So peaceful upon some island

    And living like everyday was our last

    Now I’ll be ok just as long as I got you by my side

    Hoping the day won’t go by so fast

    Let us have visions

    Of a lifetime

    We gotta listen to understand

    And we make decisions

    On a timeline

    We gotta give them to the land

    We are the makers of our destiny

    Still, life is one big mystery

    our questions have no answers to explain

    time goes on forever endlessly

    for what feels like eternity

    And all we have is what still remains

    You know I wanna try to find

    a better way to live my life

    My vision stays clear and is true

    We're going back to the way it was

    Though I could never change it cause

    I’m guided by the visions of you

    Let us have visions

    Of a lifetime

    We gotta listen to understand

    And we make decisions

    On a timeline

    We gotta give them to the land

  • If you're feelin lost in the sea

    Swimmin upstream

    Let the river guide you

    When you wash up on the beach

    Dreams out of reach

    Let the river guide you

    Standin in the road all alone

    Tryin to find peace of mind

    Just to let it go

    Maybe it's a sign

    But ya know

    Sometimes it's hard to see

    Still ya gotta try to find the good in the bad

    World's gone mad

    But it reminds us of the bond that we have

    There's nothing in this world you can do

    Bhat's not a part of me

    That's how I know

    I'm on another level with the devil

    Far gone 

    Sometimes I think I'll never get it

    Come dawn

    Tomorrow maybe I'll be ready

    Ready for you to come and take me there

    Too long- been sayin that the day is comin

    You wrong for catching me when I'm runnin

    New song will bring me back home

    When I float too far away

    Now I know

    Runnin and gunnin gonna come in and ruin what you're doin

    You and I be losin if we're sitting

    It's just the beginning

    Everything is happening at once

    It's just appearing

    It's searing into your mind

    Like a diamond inside your temple

    Can't help it- It's neverending

    It's been there since the inception

    Every thought you've been thinking

    Was given by your ancestors

    It's evident

    It's dependent upon the precedent

    Present is governed by the past

    If it's your last breath 

    Then it's how Gaia meant it

  • Close ur eyes and what do u see

    Energy free to be so easy

    Or do u find it hard to rest and have peace

    Or to even have the time to not be busy

    Do u see the past and future only

    Struggle with the moment and fight to hold the

    Memory of the fallacy of the old me

    Cause homie this scene it seems so lonely

    Gotta cool down

    Yeah we wanna take it nice and slow

    Then it’s all good now

    And we let it go

    So we say cool down

    Yeah we wanna take it nice and slow

    Then it’s all good now

    We ready to go

    Try to be good but man we so bad

    At makin good use of the time that we have

    Everything we holdin onto won’t last

    And the time keeps ticking

    We livin it so fast

    Try all we can to keep breakin the glass

    We’re tasked with the impossible

    Pumpin that gas

    Till it’s all gone used up

    Vanished in a flash

    But it’s all good man

    Don’t panic don’t crash

    Gotta cool down

    Yeah we wanna take it nice and slow

    Then it’s all good now

    And we let it go

    So we say cool down

    Yeah we wanna take it nice and slow

    Then it’s all good now

    We ready to go

    Ain't got a lot to lose so im tellin you

    Don't nobody know the truth

    And it's so beautiful

    Oooh yeah

    Ain't got a lot to lose so im tellin you

    Don't nobody know the truth

    But it's so beautiful

    Gotta cool down

    Yeah we wanna take it nice and slow

    Then it’s all good now

    And we let it go

    So we say cool down

    Yeah we wanna take it nice and slow

    Then it’s all good now

    We ready to go

    Oooh yeah

    Cool down, cool down the fire

    Rushing around like a clown on a wire

    Easy now, slow up on the trouble

    Worry like the boy in the bubble

    Gimme a reason we shouldn’t take it steady

    Through many seasons you keep the tank full and ready

    I’ve found peace in my breathing

    Ocean sound gimme all the love and healing

    Ain't got a lot to lose so im tellin you

    Don't nobody know the truth

    And it's so beautiful

    Oooh yeah

    Ain't got a lot to lose so im tellin you

    Don't nobody know the truth

    But it's so beautiful

    Oooh yeah

    East to the west

    We only come correct 

    When we always stay golden

    With a diamond in our head 

    Cool down

    Yeah we wanna take it nice and slow

    Then it’s all good now

    Then we let it go

    So we say Cool down

    Yeah we wanna take it nice and slow

    Then it’s all good now

    We ready to go

  • I swear I can feel u spin

    But maybe we’ve spun too far

    Can u tell me where I fit in

    Because I see I for who u are

    We were both born under the same small star

    We come from the same dark place

    A ways away

    Out in outer space

    But it’s hard to say

    Underneath it were all the same

    The same thing

    We’ve all just been part of the one always

    So cool

    So new

    Every single part of u

    So true

    So cool

    So new

    Every single part of u

    So true

    If I listen I can hear u cry

    Still I treat u the way I do

    And I couldn’t even tell u why

    When I’ve always come home to u

    To the ocean I love and the sky so blue

    We come from the same dark place

    A ways away

    Out in outer space

    But it’s hard to say

    Underneath it were all the same

    The same thing

    We’ve all just been part of the one always

    So cool

    So new

    Every single part of u

    So true

    So cool

    So new

    Every single part of u

    So true

    If I close my eyes I see your face

    Every shadow every line, the same place

    From the abyss through space and time

    Against all odds our paths aligned

    And in the dark there was a spark

    Who would've thought eventually

    It would connect our hearts

    We come from the same dark place

    Play-ay-ay-ace

    Thirteen billion years til now

    We came to inhabit this place

    And it all seems so unlikely

    A chance we should not waste

    Let’s make the most out of this time

    So cool

    So new

    Every single part of u

    So true

    So cool

    So new

    Every single part of u

    So true

  • Everytime I close my eyes

    I see your face

    And everytime I hear the wind blow

    It speaks your name

    It feels like since u left

    the sun never shines

    But I can still feel your loving heartbeat

    next to mine

    Yes I know

    I will make it thru

    these lonely nights

    It's hard to face the truth

    But I'll be alright

    I will make it thru

    and every night

    I'll be missing you

    I'll be missing you ya ya ya

    I know I can feel u beside me

    but are u real?

    Or do I just remember the way that

    u made me feel

    The nights- they feel so long

    since you've been gone

    But I know we'll be together again soon

    So I'll be strong

    I will make it thru

    these lonely nights

    It's hard to face the truth

    But I'll be alright

    I will make it thru

    and every night

    I'll be missing you

    I'll be missing you ya ya ya

    I'll be missing you every night

  • Easy come- easy go

    It's all the same when it's all u know

    Wave goodbye- say hello

    Keep the memories for the cold

    Winter nights- hard as stone

    You'll feel better when u warm ur bones

    Feel the wind- free to roam

    Know that you'll never go there alone

    you'll never go there alone

    you'll never go there alone

    Still she waits in my mind

    Like dreams of things I'll never find

    Warm the chill deep inside

    Try to turn back the hands of time

    Bittersweet- old and new

    You'll feel better when u know the truth

    Seek the journey- keep the view

    Know that I'll always be there for you

    Take me home

    Take my hand

    Walk the road

    To the promised land

    Take me home

    Take my hand

    Walk the road

    To the promised land

    We live every moment waiting for something

    But nothing is ever coming 

    Unless we know we reap what we sow

    If life is an open book then we write it 

    With openness and hope for the future

    So we never keep it low

    We walk thru the jungle talking of hunger

    When underneath, 

    The seeds of life just need us to stop and let them grow

    This aching is not for nothing

    Something beautiful is coming

    Embrace it but don't forget 

    We gonna let it go

    Take me home

    Take my hand

    Walk the road

    To the promised land

    Take me home

    Take my hand

    Walk the road

    To the promised land

  • I remember late one night

    standing in the rain outside

    looking up- I saw the lightning strike

    wonder how u found me?

    If u could make life so good

    Tell me if u think I should

    move into the neighborhood

    Let the stars surround me

    U were just another one

    but somehow u made it seem

    like all the rest were nothing

    once u shined that light inside me

    I am just a mortal man

    living in a world of dreams

    like all the rest upon this land

    But I got u to guide me

    Oooh- that Luna

    Have u seen her

    Take me to the moon

    I want u back Selene

    Oooh- that Luna

    Have u seen her

    Take me to the moon

    I want u back Selene

    They called u by many names

    but somehow it's all the same

    You call me right in with the tide

    and u know I'll come running

    Your chariot is made from stone

    So I will never lay alone

    You ride across the night sky

    and bless me with your loving

    U were just another one

    but somehow u made it seem

    like all the rest were nothing

    once u shined that light inside me

    I am just a mortal man

    living in a world of dreams

    like all the rest upon this land

    But I got u to guide me

    Oooh- that Luna

    Have u seen her

    Take me to the moon

    I want u back Selene

    Oooh- that Luna

    Have u seen her

    Take me to the moon

    I want u back Selene

    No u won't look back

Always With Me (Deluxe) - Album

  • We had to learn what was right from light

    Who was our guide but the stars in the night sky

    We will ignite when the tears of the falling sun

    Teach us what it means to be human

    And when we hear something wrong

    The song that plays on had the answers all along

    Lies are long gone

    Cause we know there’s a lasting truth

    That guides us every minute, every second

    Singing,

    “Heyo just calm down and lay low

    Pay no attention to what you may know”

    Pray, “Lord, (ooh) I will never be alone, you are always with me”

    Heyo, nah do it because I say so

    Make yourself forget your bankroll

    Pray, “Lord, yeah I know in my heart you are always with me”

    A crown of thorns we adorn

    Torn and left scorned from the minute we are born

    Mourning and forlorn

    We get to choose to be free or die

    Under the weight of it’s tempting roses

    If, when you close your eyes, you become

    One with everything under the sun

    Loved and undone

    You will see there’s a lasting light

    That guides us every minute, every second

    Singing

    “Heyo just calm down and lay low

    Pay no attention to what you may know”

    Pray, “Lord, (ooh) I will never be alone, you are always with me”

    Heyo, nah do it because I say so

    Make yourself forget your bankroll

    Pray, “Lord, yeah I know in my heart you are always with me”

    We love and we lose

    Not something you can refuse

    But even when the forest burns

    We see the birth of a thousand seedlings

    We throw our hands to the sky

    Even if we don’t know why

    You can see there’s a lasting love

    That guides us every minute, every second

    Singing,

    “Heyo, you are not alone

    You are not alone

    You are not alone

    I am always with you

    You are not alone

    You are not alone

    You are not alone

    I am always with you

    It’s easy to miss when you’re flying fast

    Easy to get when you try and ask one on one,

    “What’s the secret to healing, what’s the meaning,

    Can you hear me”

    Yeah

    All along you’ve been carried through

    Trials that you thought would bury you

    The Great Spirit of the Universe guided you

    Every minute, every second

    Singing,

    “Heyo just calm down and lay low

    Pay no attention to what you may know”

    Pray, “Lord, (ooh) I will never be alone, you are always with me”

    Heyo, nah do it because I say so

    Make yourself forget your bankroll

    Pray, “Lord, yeah I know in my heart you are always with me”

    Yeah I know in my heart you are always with me

  • We not gonna be afraid

    No we not gonna be afraid anymore

    We not gonna be afraid

    Yeah

    Hate to hear it when you call my name

    Righteous and wicked, man it’s all the same

    I try to kill ya off quick but shit, you are a liar (Oo ooh)

    You try to tell us it’s ok, that you was just joking

    And then you go and slap us in the faith

    You say we cool but sometimes we feel like we on fire

    But we not gonna be afraid

    No we not gonna be afraid anymore

    We not gonna be afraid

    No we not gonna be afraid anymore

    Yeah

    We were meant to be the stars that we are

    One with the sun and never far from our heart

    They try to kill the light quick

    Them slick and man, them clever (Oo ooh)

    They say, “I see ya” then they beat ya and mistreat ya

    Out to eat ya, never teach ya

    Nah gonna reach ya except to preach ya

    Yeah but the heathen deceiving are leaving us with believers

    Cause they see we are forever

    Yeah

    But we not gonna be afraid

    No we not gonna be afraid anymore

    We not gonna be afraid

    No we not gonna be afraid anymore

    No we not gonna be afraid

    No we not gonna be afraid anymore

    No we not gonna be afraid anymore

  • Listen closely to what’s inside and you will see

    A vibe within you connected to a frequency

    I was born to be in tune with your energy

    There’s nothing that can keep me

    From making you happy

    That’s how I know

    Oh oh oh

    Beg, borrow, and steal

    Sleep on the ground if your floor was dirt

    And it hurts but it’s worth it

    Cause you’re my purpose

    Your body is my pillow and my shirt and my kerchief

    You’re the center of my gravity when the earth shifts

    Perfect, your eyes, like the skies they worship

    Starship, you are, brightest light in this darkness

    You’re Autumn

    Anything you want, you got ‘em

    Problems, we solve ‘em

    Hit rock bottom then claw our way

    To the apex of the mountain

    Applaud ‘em

    All the demons trying to escape, yeah we caught ‘em

    All the people holding us back were marauding

    Laudanum, coddled and cautioned

    A bomb encased, we became

    Absconded in case they discovered

    Just how strong our bond was

    Exploded on the scene

    Still we bring no dramas

    And honestly don’t need nothing to calm us down

    Oh oh oh

    I know this is real

    Oh oh oh

    I do it all for you

    Beg, borrow, and steal

    I do it all for you

    Beg, borrow, and steal

    Beg, borrow, and steal

    Beg, borrow, and steal, just the way I feel

    I’m not afraid

    Every day I peel away another beautiful layer

    Kneel and pray and thank god I can say it’s real today

    Hey baby do you think maybe we can be together

    Here forever tell me is it crazy

    Do you really wanna be my lady

    Cause I can feel your beauty radiating

    Sun shining, high up on the mountaintop meditating

    Waiting never, wanting nothing

    Something deep inside me made me say,

    “The sun shines for you,

    I heard the universe say it shines for you”

    And no matter what the haters say

    We hit ‘em back on a later day

    We were not made that way

    No our love will not fade to grey

    I do it all for you

    I do it all for you

    Beg, borrow, and steal

    Oh oh oh

    I know this is real

    Oh oh oh

    I do it all for you

    Beg, borrow, and steal

    Oh oh oh

  • You never knew it but you had me from the start

    I took a beating with the meeting of our hearts

    I lit a cigarette and started up the car

    You ever leave me, I will love you from afar

    Cause I know this is worth fighting for

    My love, what are we waiting on

    When we’re together we can burn away the stars

    And still we wonder why it has to be so hard

    But I know this is worth fighting for

    My love, what are we waiting on

    I know sometimes it feels like it’s scary deep

    But it’s just you and me

    You said that we could dance if I would let you lead

    I give it all for free

    But loving you could cost me almost everything

    Baby can’t you see I’m a mess

    I’d give my life for you

    I’d tear my soul apart

    People, they say they feel no pain

    So why do I feel like it’s always raining

    In my head, there’s a wolf

    And it’s circling and it wants to fight

    And curled up in my heart there’s an 80 foot anaconda

    And it wants to bite

    I’m a tiger in a cage, pacing

    Hot fire in a rage, racing

    Why the fuck do they think they can just lock me up

  • I heard that lately

    Maybe you’ve been feeling down and out

    And it seems that no one understands

    What you’re feeling down about

    Well it can’t be easy running in circles

    Round and round

    When it seems like just yesterday

    We were living loud and proud

    Now all these faces seem like strangers

    Everywhere you look all you see is danger

    Wish you could just deal with all this later

    But you’re a lion

    And you won’t just put up

    With this hatred and anger

    Yeah I know it’s a jungle out there

    But don’t be scared

    Just stay cool and be humble

    Yeah I know it’s a struggle

    But if you’re kind you can step inside

    When the thunder starts to rumble

    I heard that lately

    Maybe nothing is what it’s supposed to be

    It seems like I lost everybody that was ever close to me

    I don’t know why

    But I feel like it was just owed to me

    Now I know if I want to reap the harvest

    Then first I gotta sow the seed

    But it’s hard when all these faces look like strangers

    Everywhere I go all I see is danger

    Wish I could just deal with all this later

    But I’m a lion

    And I won’t just put up

    With this hatred and anger

    Yeah I know it’s a jungle out there

    But don’t be scared

    Just stay cool and be humble

    Yeah I know it’s a struggle

    But if you’re kind you can step inside

    When the thunder starts to rumble

    They say love is an island

    But life is a jungle under the silence

    Cause even over the sirens

    We’re deaf to the sounds of hunger and violence

    And then we open our eyelids

    And look in the mirror, see a pride of lions

    We got nothing to hide in

    We’re all just stardust

    Check the science

    If I glance over at you

    I see nothing but the same thing staring at me

    You see, everything is all connected

    We’re all neglected, we’re all rejected

    But we’re not skipping a beat

    Cause we all share the same heart

    One love, one soul, one truth

    And the truth is

    None of us are getting out of this alive

    So c’mon tell me what you’re gonna do

    Yeah I know it’s a jungle out there

    But don’t be scared

    Just stay cool and be humble

    Yeah I know it’s a struggle

    But if you’re kind you can step inside

    When the thunder starts to rumble

    Yeah I know it’s a jungle out there

    But don’t be scared

    Just stay cool and be humble

    Yeah I know it’s a struggle

    But if you’re kind you can step inside

    When the thunder starts to rumble

  • 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

  • I see the money then I run for it

    Ain’t got no time for your vibes, I’m a hustler

    Shit, there’s only one thing I need

    But I can’t muster it up myself

    I gotta take it man, I lust for it

    It’s such a fit, me and money

    Man, I’d munch on it

    If I could then I would eat it

    I’m so hungry

    And all I think about is honey

    I’m a bumblebee

    So I don’t need to take heed to the mumblings

    Of the downtrodden poor

    People fumbling around in the alleyway

    Below the underpass

    I gotta get what’s mine

    Plus it ain’t no fun to ask about your life

    If I’m just gonna get a ton of sass

    So I do what I gotta do

    Really it’s just impossible

    For me to think about anybody but me

    So flee from my property

    Kneel before me properly

    Then run back to your hovel

    With bloodied up knees

    Gimme the loot, I’m a high roller

    Gimme the loot, yeah I’m a high roller

    Now that I’m old

    Thought I heard some people whispering,

    “Can’t take it with you when you’re gone”

    I wasn’t listening

    All I could see was that gold chalice glistening

    When I was at your youngest granddaughter's christening

    I used to have a family

    But I ain’t missing them

    I got a vault full of cash I keep my pistol in

    In case I gotta cut the fat and keep the gristle thin

    Then disappear around the corner while I’m whistling

    Massive coronary, don’t care

    It ain’t very scary

    Just bury me with my money

    Ain’t necessary to dare me

    Won’t tear me away from any

    Of my many nickels and pennies

    Just let me alone to fend these

    Bloodsuckers off before I’m dead meat

    I guess I could have gave it up in my will

    But I don’t consider greed to be a deadly sin

    For real, the only thing I ever wanted was to win

    Ah hell, now that I’m gone

    Think I had the wrong wishing well

    Gimme the loot, I’m a high roller

    Gimme the loot, yeah I’m a high roller

    For the love I yearn, I learn when the sun comes out and I feel that burn

    I seek it good when the beat come down, what a better way to burn

    We need more love and goodness so the wickedness and badness shun

    What I backup, is the love I keep inside ma heart and head

    Keep the fire burning, I don’t stop even after I’m dead

    What a good I need with the word I heed when I’m witnessing the road ahead

    Now I understand your good heart like a book I read

    I’ve travelled oan and oan – to thee unknown

    Climbing out the dark, when I see the sun shone

    Replacing with flesh a cold heart that was made of stone

    Lifting me on high so that you never walk alone

    Sing

    When I know the goodness is love and the light fall upon me

    And I see your face in the storm like the sun all around me

    I’m like a leaf on a tree, blowing like a free flower in the breeze

    Rust harries the gears of the mighty clock tower

    The sentry stands silent, watching and listening

    Time lies in ashes, blowing and burning

    Angels are kneeling with blood on their knees

    Rot aches to reign in the mighty oak forest

    But grace can be found where the wind is still whispering

    Signs are all branches, twisted and turning

    The great river follows and swallows the leaves

    Where can we turn when the stars are all hiding

    Where can we turn when the storm takes the sun

    Are we allowed to come bathe in the twilight

    Hope and faith boundless, for we’ve just begun

    Songs rule the meadow at the edge of the city

    There’s dew on the grass when our eyes meet the morning

    Shadows are fading where greatness is forming

    And nothing dare boil or spoil the seas

    Where can we turn when the stars are all hiding

    Where can we turn when the storm takes the sun

    Are we allowed to come bathe in the twilight

    All lies in faith now, for we’ve just begun

    Never ever ever stop learning

    Blessings nuh come early

    No

    You have to keep working

    Faith move mountains

    That you need to climb

    Crossing those rivers

    One step at a time

    Long long way from home

    Woah oh oh oh

    I still carry on

    (And still we carry on still we carry on yeh)

    Freedom is calling me

    (Freedom now, freedom a must)

    Calling me home

    Lonely roads are much better

    With you by my side

    Hold me close

    Until the end of time

    We only need

    To climb this mountain and we will be free

    We only need

    To climb this mountain and we will be free

    All of life is a journey

    Don’t be discouraged

    Find the courage

    Awaken

    Some forsaken

    Some are blinded by the morning sun

    Reminded one

    Light shines upon the surface

    Be the calm before the storm

    How old would you be if you didn’t know the day you were born

    Word is born

    If I don’t get the chance to thank you in person

    Become the highest version of the self

    And everybody else sing the song you’ve always felt

    Hear them cry for help

    Intertwining gold and silver linings

    In denial why’s he smiling

    He’s gonna rhyme

    He’s gonna cry

    Freestyle or fly

    Want to make it by before I say goodbye

    Happiness I started making mine

    What am I missing

    Most too busy to listen

    Undivided by the bitter

    By the river I started feeling different

    About the mountain of existence

    Ignore the selfish prison built within their way of living

    Leave all illusion in the distance

    Be yourself

    Believe in yourself explore the system

    Healed rested time I started giving

    While standing in the the symphony of knowledge and wisdom

  • I heard that lately

    Maybe you’ve been feeling down and out

    And it seems that no one understands

    What you’re feeling down about

    Well it can’t be easy running in circles

    Round and round

    When it seems like just yesterday

    We were living loud and proud

    Now all these faces seem like strangers

    Everywhere you look all you see is danger

    Wish you could just deal with all this later

    But you’re a lion

    And you won’t just put up

    With this hatred and anger

    Yeah I know it’s a jungle out there

    But don’t be scared

    Just stay cool and be humble

    Yeah I know it’s a struggle

    But if you’re kind you can step inside

    When the thunder starts to rumble

    I heard that lately

    Maybe nothing is what it’s supposed to be

    It seems like I lost everybody that was ever close to me

    I don’t know why

    But I feel like it was just owed to me

    Now I know if I want to reap the harvest

    Then first I gotta sow the seed

    But it’s hard when all these faces look like strangers

    Everywhere I go all I see is danger

    Wish I could just deal with all this later

    But I’m a lion

    And I won’t just put up

    With this hatred and anger

    Yeah I know it’s a jungle out there

    But don’t be scared

    Just stay cool and be humble

    Yeah I know it’s a struggle

    But if you’re kind you can step inside

    When the thunder starts to rumble

    They say love is an island

    But life is a jungle under the silence

    Cause even over the sirens

    We’re deaf to the sounds of hunger and violence

    And then we open our eyelids

    And look in the mirror, see a pride of lions

    We got nothing to hide in

    We’re all just stardust

    Check the science

    If I glance over at you

    I see nothing but the same thing staring at me

    You see, everything is all connected

    We’re all neglected, we’re all rejected

    But we’re not skipping a beat

    Cause we all share the same heart

    One love, one soul, one truth

    And the truth is

    None of us are getting out of this alive

    So c’mon tell me what you’re gonna do

    Yeah I know it’s a jungle out there

    But don’t be scared

    Just stay cool and be humble

    Yeah I know it’s a struggle

    But if you’re kind you can step inside

    When the thunder starts to rumble

    Yeah I know it’s a jungle out there

    But don’t be scared

    Just stay cool and be humble

    Yeah I know it’s a struggle

    But if you’re kind you can step inside

    When the thunder starts to rumble

    People, they say they feel no pain

    So why do I feel like it’s always raining

    And curled up in my heart there’s an 80 foot anaconda

    And it wants to bite

    I’m a tiger in a cage, pacing

    Hot fire in a rage, racing

    Why the fuck do they think they can just lock me up

    But don’t get on my bad side

    I’m a bad guy

    But we can all be an ass sometimes

    And that’s why

    Throw up a middle finger

    Break from the chainz

    Throw up a middle finger

    Break from the chainz

    Break from the chainz

    Break from the chainz

    And I’ma live how I live it

    I’m alive and I’m free and I’m ready to see

    Just give me the key to open the door

    Listen to the seed and ride for the sun

    What will be is already aligned with the one

    If energy it cannot be derived or undone

    Then we will last forever yeah

    Then we will last forever so

    No I got no more time

    To sit and think about if I’ma be forgiven

    There ain’t no rhyme or reason

    To this place we’re living in

    Yeah this is my life

    And I’ma live how I live it

    I’m alive and I’m free and I’m ready to see

    Just give me the key to open the door

Ways Of The World - Album

  • 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

  • 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 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 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • “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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.”

  • 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

GOLDEN - Album

  • 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…

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

    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

    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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

Side By Side - Album

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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
