About to go party till the sun comes up and that same old song is keeping her up.

I pulled into town about an hour ago.
Itching for the chance to get the mic and just flow.
The honeys always wanna see that harp explode.
They always ask me everynight right after the show.
Can you show me how to freak techniques so slow?
Can you show me how to bend a note like so?
Can you show me how to rock?
Can you show me how to roll?
I said, “its easy, first you suck, then you blow”

Here’s a lesson my profession is this music.
Another chance another prance now we just grooving. La lalalala keep it grooving and blaze another joint, sounds so smooth and

Now get down and dirty! Come with the grease. This is murder, somebody call the police. I used to live in the lot, sleeping with the weeds. Now the debutantes in the front just looking at me. I’m a short-order cook bringing heat to the kitchen. Make an angry lioness start to purr like a kitten. Now back to the subject of the low down blues. With this parking lot, downtown sound. Don’t snooze. Now put some mustard on it, dirty it up, mess it up, ruff it up, knock it down funk it up. Yeah baby I got mad game. Not in it for the money, not in it for the fame. Yo girl, what’s your name? See , I don’t wanna get ahead. I just wanna get some brain Get loose, Wiggle like a Worm Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle like a worm Get loose wiggle like a worm.

Peace, Love, and Happiness

Why let this world weigh on your shoulders
Pick it up push it off
Before you let yourself get colder
Just look into the eyes,
The good eyes of a child and see
That love rise like a river
And flow for a thousand miles
To give me some

Peace love happiness
Peace love happiness
Peace love happiness
Peace love happiness

Breathe in deep
Feel your heart beat
Just to know that life’s worth living
Feel your feet on the earth
You gotta (better) love it
While its still here spinning
I got no time to worry about troubles or misgivings
Just let it go,
Let yourself flow
Cause if you’re hating
Then you sure aint living
Gimme some-

Peace love and happiness
Peace love and happiness
Peace love and happiness
Peace love and happiness

Lotta people talking
Need somebody to listen
Lots of people struggling
If you got
Then you better start giving a little more

Peace love and happiness

How can we eat this daily bread
When so many people starving?
How come the president builds more bombs
Instead of just disarming?
With all that money
Spent on guns instead of food and education
We need to buy a little peace and love
Instead and start the healing of the nations

Gimme some

Peace love and happiness

Soft & Sweet (Radio Edit)

Chilling out on a ridge, by the see, in a ranchido. cool breeze through the trees sings a song so sweet. For my baby and my booboo, asleep they lay, so I picked up my guitar and I start to play. The music was pulsing blood up to my eyes I surmised the horizon, sunrising, surprising the hell out of the clouds like they were kissed for the first time. The sun was steady rising and I’m sitting in the sunshine

I hear my baby crying and he’s just waking up so I walk through the screen door and go pick him up. Rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka back and forth. Baby quit crying then I’ll go and play some more.

Soft and sweet melodies while your mommas sleeping let her sleep in late this morning Let her sleep till the sun is burning down Burning down down down

Baby baby hold my fingers with your little tiny hands. While we lounge in a hammock checking out all the land. I smell the sweet scents of papya and lime. I smell the ocean breezes, the salt, and my mind is captivated by your big brown eyes, which remind me of mine. Now I know that were two of a kind. Rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka back and forth. Baby quit crying then I’ll go and play some more.

Soft and sweet melodies while your mommas sleeping let her sleep in late this morning Let her sleep till the sun is burning down Burning down down down

Burning down, burning down, burning down

The day is getting brighter and the wind is breezing down. The whole tree is shaking, fallen fruit is on the ground. I smile when I’m thinking about the love I’ve found. Momma’s still sleeping so we play these mellow sounds

Soft and sweet melodies while your mommas sleeping let her sleep in late this morning Let her sleep till the sun is burning down Burning down down down

Soft and sweet melodies while your mommas sleeping let her sleep in late this morning
Let her sleep till the sun is burning down
Burning down down down

Burning down, burning down, burning down

Crumble

Oh snap! My plans come undone.
I’m freefalling darling
And the rising sun is blushing on your cheek
Shining steady through the blinds.
I thought I told myself that I would take my time.
I’m sure I said I wasn’t ready.
She said she wasn’t looking.
It’s not my fault that she’s so good looking.
But she’s just my type.
But I was holding single life my plan infallible.
She said she’s emotionally unavailable.
Whatever that means.
I’m down with that she kicked the cat out kid.
So I didn’t call back.

Clouds are running through the sky.
Shifting shapes and I know why.
They say that life is what happens when you’re busy making plans.
Wind blows the sand.
I start to understand you and I are meant for each other
And we’re gonna be together when the world starts to crumble.
Say hey hey. Lemme hear you say hey hey

Two weeks past
And I still didn’t call
But your name was in my brain
Like graffiti on the train
I couldn’t buff you out.
I didn’t have your number.
I saw you on the bus
And you were chilling with some other guy.
I was like damn I was jealous but I had no claim.
Then you gave me a look
And a smile just the same.
Then 3 hours later my phone did ring.
It was you asking me would I like to chill.
At this corner bar on the block
That was real laid back and I’m like yeah it’s on

Clouds are running through the sky.
Shifting shapes and I know why.
They say that life is what happens when you’re busy making plans.
Wind blows the sand.
I start to understand you and I are meant for each other
And we’re gonna be together when the world starts to crumble.
Say hey hey. Lemme hear you say hey hey

No one knows what tomorrow will bring.
But you can fall back on me when you can’t win.
This world is moving faster.
Tougher everyday.
Oh baby just take a deep breath and let your troubles all fade away.

I showed up late
That really teed her off.
We couldn’t agree on much
But the vibes were strong. Basically,
I fell in love with those big green eyes.
You could say what you want cause I was mesmerized.
Now 3 years later
And it feels so fresh we stick together
Sunshine, stormy weather.

Clouds are running through the sky.
Shifting shapes and I know why.
They say that life is what happens when you’re busy making plans.
Wind blows the sand.
I start to understand you and I are meant for each other
And we’re gonna be together when the world starts to crumble.
Say hey hey. Lemme hear you say hey hey
Now 3 years later and it feels so fresh

Grandmother

Grandmother I know you’ve seen it all
Grandmother I know you’ve seen it all

Aint nothing like the taste of her sweet sweet blueberry pie.
Tears are falling from my eyes,
Wipe them away child don’t you cry

Grandmother I know you’ve seen it all
Grandmother I know you’ve seen it all

Jars for the tadpoles, and the frogs from the lake
Mind your manners at the table.
Won’t you child for heaven sake

And I know that you’re gone,
But I feel like your reading my mind.
And I know I was lost
But then, surely, you showed me a sign.
Showed me, you showed me, showed me, you showed me, showed me, you showed me a sign.

Grandmother I know you’ve seen it all
Grandmother I know you’ve seen it all

And if you skinned your knee,
Sit down by the fireside bright.
Hold your Grandma’s loving hands every thing gonna be alright

And I know that you’re gone,
But I feel like your reading my mind.
And I know I was lost
But then, surely, you showed me a sign.
Showed me, you showed me, showed me, you showed me, showed me, you showed me a sign.

Grandmother I know you’ve seen it all

Georgia Brown

Way down south in Georgia.
Close to Augusta GA
Down where the peach trees grow
That’s where she used to stay
On a Friday night when the sun was low
And the house was warm and bright.
I’d pick up that guitar and start to play
And everything’s alright.

Talking ‘bout Hey, Hey, Hey,
Hey, Georgia
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Georgia
Talking ‘bout Hey, Hey, Hey,
Hey, Georgia
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Georgia

We would dance to the music
That that six string made
And everybody in the house would gig
Along what a sound they made
You’ve never seen somebody so sweet and dirty all at once
Never see those peaches get so ripe
That’s what I want.

Talking ‘bout Hey, Hey, Hey,
Hey, Georgia
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Georgia
Talking ‘bout Hey, Hey, Hey,
Hey, Georgia
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Georgia

Goin’ down goin’ down goin’ down Miss Georgia Brown
Goin’ down goin’ down goin’ down Miss Georgia Brown

Well, Georgia Brown was a dreamer
Oh what a pity.
So she jumped on a Greyhound bus and headed straight for New York City.
The big city was rough and tough.
It almost beat her down.
But she got the gig; she rocked the crowd, now she’s the talk of the town
And everybody’s talking ‘bout

Hey, Hey, Hey,
Hey, Georgia
Hey, Hey, Hey,
Hey Georgia
Talking ‘bout Hey, Hey, Hey,
Hey, Georgia
Hey, Hey, Hey,
Hey Georgia

Goin’ down goin’ down goin’ down Miss Georgia Brown
Goin’ down goin’ down goin’ down Miss Georgia Brown

Hey, Hey Georgia!
Do you still remember me?
I’ve been sitting on the front porch.
Just waiting to see that big old bus come rolling,
Right around the bend.
Then you jump right out.
In my arms and we could sing that song again.

Talking ‘bout Hey, Hey, Hey,
Hey, Georgia
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Georgia
Talking ‘bout Hey, Hey, Hey,
Hey, Georgia
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Georgia

Talking ‘bout Hey, Hey, Hey,
Hey, Georgia
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Georgia
Talking ‘bout Hey, Hey, Hey,
Hey, Georgia
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Georgia

Georgia brown, Georgia Brown, come home to me.
Goin’ down goin’ down goin’ down Miss Georgia Brown
Goin’ down goin’ down goin’ down Miss Georgia Brown
Goin’ down goin’ down goin’ down Miss Georgia Brown
Goin’ down goin’ down goin’ down Miss Georgia Brown

Who's Got The Weed

Whose got the weed? I got the weed
Whose got the weed?I got the weed

My Momma always used to say hey G baby. Don’t smoke the reefer it will make you lazy. I really should have listened cause she might have saved me. But I was too young and I wass too, too crazy.
But I got so much love for my mother. Still I praise the J and then I pass it to another cause a friend with me is a friend in need and I got plenty of friends that smoke a lot of weed. No seeds. I roll the herb in a cone like a tornado, pass around the circle real fast just like a hot potatoe. Then I feel my fingers grip, reality starts to slip, the joint is now a roach as I exhale a huge hit of the kind bud vapors. Vapors vapors vapors and I’m singing

Whose got the weed? I got the weed
Whose got the weed?I got the weed

Ain’t that that pharcyde crew?
Yeah you know they smoke a lot
Sip henny dippin with skinnies. I
Know they poke a lot.  I know they got
Popped in japan by some robocops and lip looks like some hobo but his flows is tight like flow jo.  I know they smoke that hydroplonic chronic on the low low And Slim be claiming sober but I know he wanna go go. Them’s is pros bro. Graduated from being faded to being wasted. Tasted life that you never tasted life that you never tasted. Didn’t waste a bit parties just a little bit more than adverage caps stims lettus and cabbage.  I know they got some papers so that we can catch the vapors, freestyle and wake the neighbors. I know they won’t forsake us. Kick up some dirt put in work like undertakers, if they don’t then let’s break’em off they gotta bake. Ain’t too humble for the pie I know he’s custom to the cake. Lets listen to some breaks. Pack the crumbs and the shake.
This World is for all to love.

Whose got the weed? I got the weed
Whose got the weed?I got the weed

I got a grip of crip I keep it next to my hip. I’m going to the airport, I’m going on a trip. I hope I don’t get slipped by the feds. Cause I got this ounce of buddha right down my leg. And its not cool! I’m stinking up the whole damn row. The stewardess is looking at me and I think that she knows I tried spraying my body down with all this cologne but the stencg is creeping up to the front row. Its just the home grown. From the back yard. I keep it in my pocket when I go to the bar. So if you want a hit, just buy me a drink. And don’t worry I got more of that funky green shhhhhhh singing

Whose got the weed? I got the weed
Whose got the weed?I got the weed
Whose got the weed? I got the weed
Whose got the weed?I got the weed

Superhero Brother

Every once in awhile I’ve got to use my super powers. Even though saving the worlds out of style.  It aint my fault all this bad stuff is happening. But now its time I put my foot on down.

Awww baby my love don’t seem the same

They say that love is all you need to heal the world. Plus a million, billion dollars now have heard? That President Bush, Santa Claus and Green Goblin, Saddam Hussein, Spiderman and Bin Ladin! Brittney Spears, Jesus and the whole cast of Friends, met for brunch last week to solve the world’s problems?  Well they called on me!
Awww baby my love don’t seem the same

If they called on my name don’t you know I’d do it. Shine my signal over Gotham? I’d be true. It is my distinct pleasure to come down off my grass, get off of my front porch and save all your asses. I the nick of time.

Awww baby my love don’t seem the same

Change has come over me my muscles growing. So I freestyle my ass across the USA. Solve the economy, the homeless problem, save what’s left of the environment; create jobs for everybody that needs something to do. And if you can’t do smack well you better do something, ‘cause this is the time when you sure can’t do nothing! That means you and you and you and you and me too!

Awww baby my love don’t seem the same

Then I’ll fly overseas and set all the slaves free. From prostitution, sweatshops, child labor. Solve the myriad of problems in the Middle East make a sun power car so we don’t have to fight over oil fields.  Then I’ll take all the troops back, from where ever they roam, whatever they’re fighting for and whatever side they’re on. Send them on the first plane, home to their moms, and we can make coffee tables out of all these bombs. And save the whales and the pygmy marmosets too!

Awww baby my love don’t seem the same

All this seems kind of hard. But it really aint nothing. All you gotta do is get bit by a spider or something. We can change the world in a week or a day and if you got problems man, I’ll sweep them away. So if you find yourself in a world full of trouble, just call on G. Love, the Superhero Brother. And I’ll be there, I’ll be there, I’ll be there, I’ll be there,...

Awww baby my love don’t seem the same

I really love you I rub a dub you I scrubba dub you fill the tub with bubbles
on the double. Oh shit I’m in trouble bring you flowers and cook you dinner
I hope my friends don’t see you running me around like Bruce jenner
That would not be cool it might ruin my rep but what my main objective is
to keep the bed I slept last night and the night before last gotta solve
this problem fast try to move past this situation I really shouldve had my
phone on lock cause she just threw all of my shit out the window. on the
block

Missing My Baby

Holla!

Banger (Feat. Blackalicious & Lateef The Truthspeaker)

Just sitting down thinkin’ about this life of mine. All of my troubles all my good times

Black panther cub
Gotta lotta love
From the bottom to the top
Underground to up above
Not ya average
Rig-a-marole
Just playing the role
Instead I set my path in the bold
The mic I control
with breath I control
And cold make ‘em lose control
Lo and behold
Make these rhymes pay me
Like a hoe on the stroll
Told ‘em its cold piece of work
in cold world
Still my only joy when I hold a flow
Like the north pole hold magnetism
All the naysayers sayin “NO”
They can eat crow
I show and prove
To a groove
They never knew
Grew and grew
Walked around the rocks enroute
If it seemed impossible
Still had to do my best John Henry
And hammer staight through
If the deal goes sour
Got the will power
And the now
To meet the challenges
Whatever
However
Just sayin’

It’s.a Banger It’s.a Banger It’s.a Banger It’s.a Banger It’s.a Banger It’s a Banger It’s.a Banger

Just sitting down thinkin’ about this life of mine. All of my troubles all my good times

Gift of gab verse please check

It’s.a Banger It’s a Banger It’s.a Banger It’s.a Banger It’s.a Banger It’s a Banger It’s.a Banger

G verse

Break it off break it up break it out shout it out mountain tops got me climbin’ as I’m striving
I’m thriving as I’m vibing and I’m riding high I’m surviving as I’m rhyming and I’m loving life fiend Can’t be satisfied well that sucks but it keeps me trying I’ve been in love in hate Yeah I had a little taste of everything if life was a buffet if go back for seconds but you just get one plate before you fly away check it my daddy
always told me to be purposeful never lose a   minute never waste a second
my momma told me to be careful wrap it up   don’t be too wild child but I’m
a wild child wild style ride till I die style . endless like the skyline horizon I’m rising special sauce long lasting lover true blue to my friends till the end always on it always under cover blue eyed brother white as mr drummond. Come a long way strumming running gunning a style kid philly! 
stairwell harping Lightening blues like space echoe. Burning night life living life like a gecko live every moment like got nothing to lose drank champagne and I drank tears
Loving life cause I’m lovin’ and livin’ I’m real

Well its a hustle its a hustle everyday of life. And its enough to keep your head above the water see.
Seems like the older I get the freedom I have but everything is complicated to me.
Responsibilites, parking tickets, stress oh my god.
Get off my back before I snap and break naw I gots to elevate.
Ride my fate take it to the highest when I’m rhyming on the city streets
the rythmns in my freakin sneaks, sneaky freaks.
Stoppin by the dinner to recharge my cells. Get with the broths and have a couple laughs.
Take along drive. Cause I’m still alive and if the pressure didn’t get me then won’t get me now stay high as the sky and bust the fuck out
so watch me get free

Kill it kill it bring it back to life

The music is the thing that always made me high, and its the one thing left in life that never told no lies. And its the feeling in my heart, and the tear in my eye, and the chill in my spine and the freedom of my mind. You know the more love that I gave it always gave me back and if I ever borrowed something then I paid it back. And if I ever did you wrong then forgive me. But please don’t put no evil on me. Cause I’m just another brother from a father and a mother trying to make my way in the world don’t you see
 
So watch me get free
Free

Beautiful (Feat. Tristan Prettyman)

Rainbow (Feat. Jack Johnson)

Breakin' Up

Your words don’t come easily, no more.
I wonder what you’re doing every second that I’m not with you.
No I see what I put you through….
I should be gone
Something keeps me hangin on its instinct
But all this pain I feel doesn’t phase you Iys funny what the drugs will And now I’m crying now

How can two people be together so much and always feel so far away How can two people stay together so long just because they’re afraid to walk away

I swear to god we’re breakin up this time I swear to god we’re breakin up this time I swear to god we’re breakin up this time I swear to god we’re breakin up this time

Timing so wrong but the feelings so right Won’t you let me kick it just one more time Won’t you let me love you and hug you and squeeze you tight
won’t you be my darling tonight Kiss me one more time before you turn your back forever
No you’re walking away
Look me in the eyes and smile like you did the very first time I saw your face
Tell me everything’s gonna be alright Even though I can’t hold back the tears
For 5 long years I was afraid to give it all Now I’m gonna leave you and my best friend is gone

I swear to god we’re breakin up this time I swear to god we’re breakin up this time I swear to god we’re breakin up this time I swear to god we’re breakin up this time

Why won’t you let me love you baby, baby Starting from scratch
Starting from scratch You’re my friend and my sister, my lover I don’t want to find another to replace you
Start all over again start all over again You’re my friend and my sister, my lover I don’t want to find another to replace you Start all over again start all over again Start all over again
I swear to god we’re breakin up this time I swear to god we’re breakin up this time I swear to god we’re breakin up this time I swear to god we’re breakin up this time

Still Hangin' Around

You might be crazy
But then again I might be out of my mind.
They ought to lock me in an institution so I could be right by your side

Look at me I’m still hangin around still hangin around I’m still around

You might break up
Into a million pieces
Crying in the middle of these cold city streets And blame it all on me

Look at me I’m still hangin around still hangin around I’m still around

People say you gonna fall in and out of love all the time People say it don’t come easy but you sure came easy oh me oh my

And I aint gonna tell no one our buisness about the night we met
But i guess if you’re lookin for trouble then trouble is what you get

Look at me I’m still hangin around still hangin around I’m still around
Now there’s a lot of things I like to change about myself
But there aint a thing I’d change about you
Except maybe… well .....
Sike I’m just jokin can’t you tell
You’re like water from the well

my buckets full
And its got no leaks
That means every drop I got of you
I’m gonna keep

Look at me I’m still hangin around still hangin around
I’m still around

Astronaut

Some of these days just can’t seem to get out of bed,
waking up spider webs growin’ up in my head
Avalanche, tumbleweeds rolling up in my face
I’m blasting off, ohh mama I’m heading off to outer space

Right about now, ah I wish I was an astronaut
Right about now, oh I wish I was an astronaut
Right about now, ah I wish I was an astronaut
Right about now, oh I wish I was an astronaut

Some of these days, despite of all the things that’s in my head
Some of these days, I love you despite of all the shit you said
Tumbleweeds rollin’ all rollin’ all ‘round this town
I’m blastin off, I don’t even think I can hang around

Right about now, ah I wish I was an astronaut
Right about now, oh I wish I was an astronaut
Right about now, ah I wish I was an astronaut
Right about now, oh I wish I was an astronaut

Should I leave
I should’ve left a long time ago
Should I leave
I should’ve left a long time ago
Should I leave
I should’ve left a long time ago
Should I leave
I should’ve left a long time ago

I just need a spaceship to get me right out of here
I wish I had never met you, let you in my stratosphere
Spider webs getting in my brain
I’m the brother that you drove insane
I’m just a kid from the milky way
I’m blastin off mama, I can’t stay

Right about now, oh I wish I was an astronaut
Right about now, oh I wish I was an astronaut
Right about now, oh I wish I was an astronaut
Right about now, oh I wish I was an astronaut

Beam me up, beam up Scotty, beam me up yeah
Beam me up, beam up Scotty, get me outta here

Dont Drop It

Won\‘t you pass that mic right here
You know I will not fucking drop it
So you thought that I would stop it
But I got more shitz in my pocket

I said don\‘t d don\‘t don\‘t drop it
The funky beat
Don’t d don\‘t don\‘t drop it
The funky beat

Hey yo, this is how we kick it
And this is how we do it
This original style is mine
So why would you ruin it
So you thought that G was all washed up,
But this ring around the collar is so damn tuff
I\‘m not the type of brother like “enuffs enuff”
Hey yo you wanna start something?
Well let\‘s start it up
Cause I flow like the breeze right down the road.
Mining for nuggets you know I found the motherlode.
I\‘m gettin paid in the shade
For the words that I say, for the grooves that I play,
For the moves that I make-amazing.
Just like that boy Peter Parker.
Skin white as a cloud
But my soul gets much darker, deeper and darker the deeper you delve. The best tasting waters at the bottom of the well.
Raining like a thunderstorm.
And you\‘s about to get wet cause the heat is on.

I\‘m comin up I\‘m comin on
I\‘m comin on comin on comin on
I\‘m comin up I\‘m comin on I\‘m comin

I got the blues brother like Dan Akyroid.
Smoke a lot of weed but don\‘t get paranoid.
Don\‘t freak I got the flavors like lemonade,
My stock is steady rising like I\‘m on e*trade.
I don\‘t date a girl with the thunder thighs
I got a my Thai special with the light brown eyes.
To make the bread you must have the rise
It pays it pays to advertise
But I won\‘t shove my shit right down your throat
And if you like my freestyle then check out what I wrote.

I said don\‘t d don\‘t don\‘t drop it
The funky beat
don\‘t d don\‘t don\‘t drop it
The funky beat

My styles locked down
So don\‘t pick my brain.
Tongue twister tried to stomp me so I broke the chain.
Breaker breaker one nine
You know my cover\‘s blown
So let\‘s fire up this joint on the microphone.
Cause I rock the party hard
But the party won\‘t break.
You said the neighbors were cool dog, you made a mistake.
Damn, the cops are coming
I\‘m running out the back door,
Jump over the fence you never see me no more

I\‘m comin up I\‘m comin on on comin on comin on comin on
I\‘m comin up I\‘m comin on I\‘m comin!

Love

Now I’ve been in Love

Bother to brother Valentines day everyday
Is it all a postcard from far away - Love

Booty Call

When I first met you baby
I knew I had to have ya,
that’s when you called me your bad boy baby blue.
Now I’m so glad I’ll be loving you forever,
its kinda clever how we ended up in this situation
you was working at the snack bar on my vacation,
admiration, infatuation, elation.
Now we’ve been kicking it foe the whole damn summer.
From friends to best friends to part time lovers.
Now you’re moving in the first day of September.
And I can remember the first time I met you
back in December and it was so cold outside…
you was breaking up and so was I.
And neither one of us wanted to give love a try
so we would talk and talk and laugh. And have a ball.
Then we got drunk fooled around and had a booty call! 

A booty call
aint nothing wrong with a booty call
do you people wanna booty call
are you down with the booty call yeah!
 
Now were getting serious,
living together we had our ups and downs
but you know that we weathered the storm.
And if we ever had some fights
they always end up in a quiet storm
warm in the bedroom.
A little bit of heat makes a lil bit of spice
and no two people get along all the time all right
so let’s stay together
like an al green song
cause you always do make me feel brand new
and I’ll always be loving you my baby boo.
Not only do I think that you’re sexy as hell.
But you’re independent, strong-willed, hardworker
and you like to chill
you like to step out to the party.
Get ill on the dance floor like nobodys business.
The finest fish in he whole damn sea
swimming with me roadtripping with me
partyflipping with me
and now she’s skinnydipping with me.
Yo I wanna tell you that that aint all she likes
to get freaky fool around and have the booty call
the booty call
Aint nothing wrong with the booty call.
All you people like a booty call
imma tell a lil booty call

I can tell that we gone be friends I can tell that we’

Give It To You (feat. Jack Johnson)

I don’t care what you do.
I only care about you.
I don’t care what you say.
Are you coming my way?
And I don’t care what your momma said.
And I don’t care what your father said.
And I don’t care what your friends say.
I’m gonna love you anyway
I got to give it to.
Comeon and take a lil ride
Take a lil ride

When I was all out of luck
You brought me the jackpot.
All out of love the kissing and the hugging
On a nervous breakdown
I’ll tell ya little something.
I wanna thank you babe
You kept me from a buggin
Na na na na na na na na na…

Jack Johnson..
Well let me tell you bout the girl I met one time.
She’s got the looks and the books gonna make her mine.
She told me things that no one ever told me
And what she showed me I learned how to love.
All the time we would spend in the night just talking.
In the morning I would leave but then I’d come back knocking. 
For you girl always looking for you girl.
Always looking for you girl
I got to give it to.
I got to give it to you.
I got to give it to you. 
I got to give it to you
Comeon and take a lil ride
Take a lil ride

When I was all out of luck
You brought me the jackpot.
All out of love the kissing and the hugging
On a nervous breakdown
I’ll tell ya little something.
I wanna thank you babe
You kept me from a buggin
Na na na na na na na na na ...

The Hustle

Well it’s a hustle it’s a hustle everyday of life.
And it’s enough to keep your head above the water see.
Seems like the older I get
The freedom I have
But everything is complicated to me.

Responsibilities, parking tickets, stress oh my god.
Get off my back before I snap
And break naw I gots to elevate.
Ride my fate take it to the highest
When I’m rhyming on the city streets
The rhythms in my freakin sneaks, sneaky freaks.
Stoppin by the dinner to recharge my cells.
Get with the breaths and have a couple laughs.
Take along drive.
Cause I’m still alive
And if the pressure didn’t get me
Then won’t get me now
Stay high as the sky
And bust the fuck out

Cause runnin is a hustle,
Playin is a hustle,
Everything a hustle but love.
Livin is a hustle when you’re working every muscle
And you’re just trying to keep your head up.
Keep your head up.

The music is the thing that always made me high,
And it’s the one thing left in life
That never told no lies.
And it’s the feeling in my heart,
And the tear in my eye,
And the chill in my spine
And the freedom of my mind.
You know the more love that I gave
It always gave me back
And if I ever borrowed something then I paid it back.
And if I ever did you wrong then forgive me.
But please don’t put no evil on me.
Cause I’m just another brother from a father and a mother
Trying to make my way in the world
Don’t you see

Cause runnin is a hustle,
Playin is a hustle,
Everything a hustle but love.
Livin is a hustle when you’re working every muscle
And you’re just trying to keep your head up.
Keep your head up.

Front Porch Lounger

Front porch lounging
With my eyes on the prize
Just sitting round playing guitar
Wasting time.
Now I’m a fish in the water
Swimming all the seven seas
Lots of people throw their nets
But they can’t catch me.
And I know if things go my way
It just a matter of time
So nothing left for me to do
But stay like the altitude and get high, so high.
My fingers sticky like Spiderman,
And here’s a quintessential part of my master plan.
Stay blue like the sky
And if my luck changes
It’s about that time.
And I know if thing goes my way
It might not be too soon
So nothing left to do but jam
An afternoon on the stoop
While my foot stomps a loop
And the whole world revolves
Problem solved.
And I know that if things go my way
Well it’s about that time
So let me rise like the sun
And just shine go for mine.
Rewind and playback another funky hot track
Cause my record consoles
Stacked with ten sides cause I’m like that.
Lemonade I’m drinking
Sinking into this music
Like some country blues,
Ethiopians,
Abyssinians grooves puts me in the state of mind now
I’m zoning.
Check the phone off the hook
And cook some Thai noodles for you

And I’m going where the summer never ends
Yes I’m going where the summer never ends

And I know if I play my cards right
I’ll get some loving tonight
That’s why I chilled the wine
And put the glasses on ice
And put the baby boo boo to bed,
Yeah,
Lay your head
And I know if the last summer sun
Sets pink tonight and the stars come out
And the vibes all right
It’s just a lil daydream
But I really can’t pretend
And I hope someday I find a place
Where summer never ends.

And I’m going where the summer never ends yes I’m going where the summer never ends

Loving Me

Will you let me know,
If I have done you wrong today.
Cause you won’t say nothing to me and
I can’t help feeling that you’re mad
I can’t fight you anymore.
I forgot what I’m fighting for
Will you help me understand how
Lovin me could be so bad?

Shall this moment of uncertainty pass
Will you speak kind words to me.
All that I’m saying is
Please treat me nice
I promise I won’t do no wrong
Won’t you let me know.
Should I stay or should
I go will you help me understand
How lovin me could be so bad?
If you have plans to leave me girl,
Won’t you just let me know.
Cause you finally got me loving you.
And now you wanna let me go
I feel like I could explode,
Won’t you help to ease the load.
Will you help me understand?
How lovin me could be so bad?

Waiting

Oh this is so crazy to be hanging on this way.
I mean to say I never loved someone like you.
I’m trying hard to make you stay
Don’t leave me and even if you think
I’m busted pretty momma wont you hang around.
Even though I know you’ve gone insane
I don’t want to live without you babe I’m jus

Waiting for you to come around
Waiting for you to come around
Waiting for you to come around
Waiting for you to come around

You just keep on telling me
That I’m not your kind of man.
I hope you find what you’re looking for
And work it out me
I’m tired of hanging out.
Waiting on the corner for a hand me down,
Standing for seconds in the soup kitchen line
I’m too tired

Waiting for you to come around
Waiting for you to come around
Waiting for you to come around
Waiting for you to come around
Lord lord

Why don’t you put me out of my misery.
Baby I wanna tell ya
I never been to good at talking anyway.
But how long must a good brother wait
For a girl to become the woman that she wants to be.
I’ve waited five long years
Now tell me momma when you gonna wait for me.

I’m too tired just

Waiting for you to come around
Waiting for you to come around
Waiting for you to come around

But my friends all say that you aint coming down
And I feel its time that maybe
I put you down.
Put you down put you down put you down…

Fishing Song

I’m going fishing ‘bout a quarter to nine

Aw my lines so tight

All the fishes love me
They all wanna jump on the end of my line

But I can’t get you off my mind
Singing hey hey hey hey

Now come on pretty momma don’t you make me wait
Something’s tugging on the end of my worm.

All the fishes love me
They all wanna jump on the end of my line
I love all the fishes
But I can’t get you off my mind
Singing hey hey hey hey

Back Of The Bus

Swing like a pendulum
Rules you know I’m bending em
All the cool kids on the back of the bus
High like Mt. Everest looking for some leverage
Floating like some vapors coolin like a beverage
I cherish the moment when I get the lucky chance
To sing my song and let the funky people dance.

Make it last. Sonic blasts move past fast fly
Outta speaker’s sneakers stomp to the rhythm that will romp
Let the wild rumpus start cause it
Just can’t stop
And all the cool kids in the back of the bus
Cop a feel
Steal a kiss miss
I hope ya won’t regret it
And all of the kids in the back I hope you get it
All the cool kids in the back of the bus
rubba dubba scrubba bubba
whatchu looking at gus breakin the rules
I hope we don’t get caught sha la la la la la la la la

All of the kids in the back quit buggin
get your hands in the vehicle before you lose something
keep bouncin to the beat of wheels that are bumbin
get your ass out of bed cause you know the bus is coming
if you miss the damn bus then you better start running
brown bag full of grub yo you gotta eat something
keep rockin to the rhythm of the windshield wipers staying up late night
all nighters
keepin busy
all of the cats in the back are you with me?

all the cool kids in the back of the bus
rubba dubba scrubba bubba whatchu talkin about gus
breakin the rules I hope we don’t get caught sha la la la la la la la la

Road trip runnin with the music up loud
take a trip from the north to the dirty south
wherever it leads ya/ overheated on the side of the road
sweating that ass 25 cent cologne
sticking to the seats like a lil piece of gum
and all of the kids in the back want to come
in the back of the bus its a make out session she’s got the salad I’ve got the dressing

all the cool kids in the back of the bus
rubba dubba scrubba bubba whatchu talkin about gus
breakin the rules I hope we don’t get caught sha la la la la la la la la

Gotta get home and study for the final
write my name on the back of the bus seat vinyl
sitting on the stool of the principles office
gettin chewed up cut out cut down run down run up
“oh its you again” please don’t put me back in summer school man
I’m just a kid
One of many
Tryin to have a lil fun bendin
a couple of the rules on the back of the bus
THE BACK OF THE BUS

Two Birds

We’ll be like two birds singing in the moonlight,
Two fireflies lighting up the sky,
Two stars shining through the clouds,
Two clouds floating in the sky.

We’ll be like the moon when the sun is rising,
Two bees buzzing round a flower,
Two crickets singing back and forth in rhyme,
Two roses budding in the springtime.

We’ll be like the rain falling in the desert,
The milkyway and the North Star.
Two peas in a pod
We’ll be of the same mind under god.

We’ll be in love
We’ll be in love
We’ll be two birds falling in love
We’ll be in love…

Stone Me

Now I don’t care you wanna run me out run me down
From what I heard, I’m concerned
Baby that you throwin down
Getting down while I’m on the road
Outta town rumors flying
People lying
I’m just crying tryin to keep my head up off the ground

It’s gettin harder and harder to check my pride
And you’re runnin high with some other guy
And I’m about to die
Tellin lies running and cheatin
And doin what you please
No remorse I cry
The only thing you need for is the money

Now I’m so damn confused
Cause even though I paid my dues
Aint no matter what I do I’m gonna lose
Cause you stoned me
Stoned me

Now we’ve known each other so long,
How we’ve grown oh no
I was surely never gonna be alone.
Too late I was so wrong
Now you’re moving on with your life.
Put me in the past too fast
You’re with some other guy
You used to make me high
But now you just stoned me
So phony was your love
And how you said you’d always hold me
Never leave me lonely.
What about our son?
Why’d you want a child
When you wanna be runaround?
You put the play on me
You put the play on me

Now here you coming running back
Broken heart all alone
Too late baby now I’m so gone
You hurt me so bad
It took me so long to rise
But baby I survived
Now I don’t even wanna see your eye

Now here you coming running back
Broken heart all alone
Too late baby now I’m so gone
You hurt me so
And it took me so long to rise
But baby I survived
Now I don’t even wanna see your eye

Sunshine

Sunshine shining down
We gonna take a lil walk around the woods
Don’t care what we do
As long as I’m with you every little thing gonna be alright

Girl you look good so good to me
I want you to stay I don’t want you to leave
Don’t go don’t go
I love everything about you baby now don’t you know

I even love it when you’re mad and so frustrated even though you made my simple life complicated don’t go
Don’t go
I love everything about you baby now don’t you know

Sunshine shining down
We gonna take a lil walk around the woods
Don’t care what we do
As long as I’m with you every little thing gonna be alright

I can’t get enough I wanna eat ya up I wanna have you for breakfast leftover for lunch
Don’t go
Don’t go
I love everything about you baby now don’t you know

Well I done you wrong but you done me back taught me a lesson I can’t forget that
Don’t go
Don’t go
I love everything about you baby now don’t you know

Em's Song

No Turning Back

She was just 19 years old
When she left her home
The morning dessert sun was at her back
She knew right them
There would be no turning back
Leaving home was the best thought that she had
But know in a parking lot in Washington
She asked to herself what have I done
Earth mother bear and eagles was on the run
Two more nights till Colorado
Till the deal was done
And if flying back home
Was as easy as the run
She realized then there would be no turning back
Were will you take me?
What will we do?
Were will you take me?
What will we do?
The man drove by in a bright white Cadillac
She got in that ride and she never came back
She knows what she needs
She said it feels good to me
She knows what she needs
She said it feels good to me
Ain’t no turning back

Dreamin'

Everyone starts with the sweetest dreams
Living long life living beautiful scenes
Make a million dollars wearing gold and jewels
Drive a big black benz, of a Carribean cruise
Or maybe you dream that you just can’t lose
Or playing the blues is the path that you choose
Or perhaps you dream of going back to natures plan
And just live off the land and be a natural man
Or of a beautiful girl who’s holding your hand
Loving the one your with, and her beautiful tan
Like you’re holding a spliff
That’s laying in your hand
Or you dream of playing bands
From Electric Lady Land
Riffs just like Jimmy Hendrix

Are you feeling the feeling that I’m feeling
Dreams are like fish, you got to keep on dreaming
Are you feeling the feeling that I’m feeling
Dreams are like fish, you got to keep on dreaming

“Stop daydreaming!”
That’s what my teacher used to say
While they kick a bunch of crap
That I forgot anyway
Education’s important to make a man complete
But everything I learned in school
I learned again on the street
Now my time is booked cause I’ve got the look
And when I walk on my path
You know I can’t be shook
Stay alert in this day you have to go for yours
The force conspires to help brothers
That help others open doors
Wars and battles, rage around us everyday
While the real troops keep our heads up while we play
This game of chance that they busy calling life
Can be quite a disappointing ride
You can’t blame the youth
And you can’t blame God
Now who you gonna blame
When the dog’s in the yard

Are you feeling the feeling that I’m feeling
Dreams are like fish, you got to keep on dreaming
Are you feeling the feeling that I’m feeling
Dreams are like fish, you got to keep on dreaming

Wisdom askes “Are you ready for this”
Experience says “The kid can’t miss”
Professional advice got you thinking twice
Don’t roll the dice if you can’t pay the price
The omen says “Walk towards the light
First impulse is free and it’s always right”
Doubt suggest “What you think you can achive?
Your just a Philly kid from South 2 street”
Rappin” blues and playing guitar
Now I’m chillin’ skies the limit
I’m a rock and roll star
Making funky music hit records are exploding
The free wind is blowing
Higher than the liars melting in the fires
How high can you ride?
The greatest victory is our
When you believe in legend
Getting busy like the man
They call “school’s in session”
Addressing all you people
Like I know who you are
‘Cause streets are universal and the world is wide
But no matter what you’re running from
you just can’t hide
If you seek the truth, the truest kind you’ll find
So trace your tracks a facts a fact
Three aces one king and a one eyed Jack
You ain’t going nowhere until it’s time to leave
Your mind is just like a story and that I’m
Starting to read
Are you feeling the feeling that I’m feeling
Dreams are like fish, you got to keep on dreaming
Are you feeling the feeling that I’m feeling
Dreams are like fish, you got to keep on dreaming

Roaches

Rodeo Clowns

Sweeping the floors
Open up the doors
Turn on the light
Getting ready for the night
Nobody’s romantic
Cause it’s too early for dancing
But here comes the music

Bright lights flashing
To cover up you lack of
Soul many people to many problems
So many reasons to buy another round
Drink it down
Just another night on the town
With the big man Money man
Better than the other man
He got the plan with the million dollars
Give a damn but
When nobody understands
He’ll become a smaller man
The bright lights keep flashing
Man the woman keep dancing

With the rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when I’m down yeah, yeah
Rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when I’m down

The disco ball spinning
All the music and the women
And the shots of tequila
Man they’ll say that they need ya
But what they really need
Is a little room to breathe
Tiny bopping disco queen
She barely understand her dreams
Of belly button rings
And other kinds of things
Symbolic of change
But the thing that is strange
Is that the change has occurred
And now she’s just a part
of the herd yeah, yeah, yeah
Man I thought that you heard yeah, yeah
The change has occurred yeah, yeah, yeah
She’s just a part of the herd yeah, yeah

Lights out shut down
Late night wet ground
You walk by look at him
But he can’t look at you
You might feel pity
Because he only feel the ground because
You understand moods
But he only knows let down
By the corner there’s another one
Reaching out a hand
Coming from a broken man
Well you try to live
But he’s done trying
Not dead but definitely dying

With the rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when I’m down yeah, yeah
Rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when I’m down

Sweeping the floors
Open up the doors
Turn on the light
Getting ready for the night
Nobody’s romantic
Cause it’s too early for dancing
But here comes the music

Numbers

Soon you’ll know of the great joy we feel
In this day to be able to speak freely and talk eye to eye
We a small group of Americans

We feel that the time has come
For your nation to awaken to it’s true spatial import.

Four mourning doves searching in the park
Saying don’t be confused when the night is dark
Eleven white swans swimming in a black pond
Told me keep it real and you’ll find who’s fake.

Two cedar trees half submerged in the water
Don’t prophesize about sons and daughters
One new master of the form Tai Chi.

One pimp using songs as his hussy
Won’t be here next year to tell you bout nothing.

Two happy kids playing basketball
Till a war broke out and killed them all.

A bunch of ideas like fireflies
An eighteen-year-old girl with stars in her eyes.

We saw the gentle trickster on the highway tonight
Keep you eyes closed and your mouth open wide.

Chorus:

Though the roof may leak in may places
Shinning faces shining faces
may she sleep in peace
and wake up in my arms
Some day soon
Some day soon

Those that were numbered
Had a path to follow
Fly as swift as the swallow
Where no enemies can follow
The path that was laved for the riotous man
Don’t promote the fool
Claiming’ he’s the wisest man
As they slander our name in shame
When our aim is to do what comes natural
We’re hatchen like fireflies on a river
Feelin right from my toes, knees, kidneys to my liver
Clouds drop down the due
My friend what about you
Clouds drop down the due
My friend what about you

Chorus:

Though the roof may leak in may places
Shinning faces shining faces
May she sleep in peace
And wake up in my arms
Some day soon
Some day soon

Relax

Let’s all just relax
And get into this groove
The room’s starting to move
Now turn the red lights on
You know the kind that I like
Deep blues and reds
With purple highlights
But don’t forget the oohhs
And fade in the ahhhhs

Fade out the parades
And the charades
Making music like love is made
And lovers wait patiently
And with joy
For the right moments
To explore in passion
Why everlasting love is everlasting

But don’t forget the oohhs
And fade in the ahhhhs

There’s no need to argue
For better position
Realize the moment that you’re
In is magic
Stellar regions cry
Everything has it’s season
Everything happens for a reason
So who are we to worry at any rate
The plane that crashed
We missed cause we were running late
And if success eludes you
Then you must choose to do
What other people wouldn’t do

But don’t forget the oohhs
And fade in the ahhhhs

So as cold night fades into darkness
Harken to the fire
Where you may find some peace
As many people pass
Some good and some bad
But this fire glows stronger yet
And burning light reminds us
To ever be reborn

The sun sets soon
Uprises the moon
The sun sets soon
Uprises the moon

Do It For Free

You keep taking and taxing
Faking and I can’t relaxing
When you push and fight
Pull and funk your way to the front
You think I’m on stage to pull a stunt
I’m amazed by your capacity
At winding me up
So that I can’t release you see
You see me back stage
And engage me in your rhythm
My head is swimming
This place is full of smoke and women
You told me that the music
Couldn’t be much phatter
I said I got a girlfriend
You said it didn’t matter
She started pressing up
And I was getting kind of heated
The pressure’s building up
And release is what I needed
She’s begging and pleading
Begging and pleading
I’m pressed against the wall
Like a piece of Graffiti’s
She needs me, she needs me
She-needs- me

Could you do it for free
Could you do it for me
Could you do it for free
Could you do it for me

Late last night I had this crazy vision
I was on stage on my musical mission
Aiming at love of a godly kind
Till loves light shone out
And nearly made me blind
Of heard of flying doves
Birds of a feather
I’ve heard of loving lace
I’ve heard of love leather
I heard of loving one night
And writing love letters
The way I love this girl
I could never forget her
Sometimes lovers wait
Sometimes I want to get her
Sometimes love is worse
Sometimes love is better
I’ve heard of love passing
And I’ve heard of love severed
The way I love this girl
I’m going to love her forever

Could you do it for free
Could you do it for me
Could you do it for free
Could you do it for me

I had a feeling of hunger
When I first meet your eyes
There’s no surprise
I can feel you over years
And many miles
Though separation occurred
It’s all part of life
Some people wait forever
Some never wait a night
You have to give it time babe
Please let love breath
You’re the one I desire
I’m the one that you need
Our love will be complete
Just like a seed that’s planted
The loving comes strong
I hope that you can stand it
I never planed that it would
Work out this way
So when the sun rises
Please don’ leave me babe
I could love you forever tonight

Honor And Harmony

No need to pull some weight around
But I ain’t gonna just sit here
Like a clown and just wait around
I’m taking what I’ve earned to be taking
And you know you only get stronger
When your heart is aching
But I’ve had enough of waiting around
For some red tape
I know it’s just a fake
I say it’s a big mistake
And we’re all human
So there’s no need to be taking it
With some honor and harmony
We’ll surely be making it
With a little bit of honor and harmony
Com on!!!

What should we choose to be our tactics
In this age of computer taxes oh no
When in this new era to come
We shall be organized and not supervised
From the physical to the spiritual
All our works will be so critical
Our offense and metal will soar
Our ornamental will be so pure
And we won’t sweat the expense
In the new millennium
We are raising through the fog
Helping the healing God
The next awakening is you
And we’re all human
So there’s no need to be taking it
With some honor and harmony
We’ll surely be making it
With a little honor and harmony…
Come on!

Friday Night (Hundred Dollar Bill)

I saw you at the bar
I was laughing with some friends
I saw you turn your head
I was checking you instead
I asked you if you would like to dance
I really wasn’t trying to get into your pants
Not to say that your not a beautiful young lady
But I drive a chevy Nova
And I thought you liked Mercedes
Soon enough though
We were allured
Bumping and grinding out on the dance floor
With the system so loud
The vibrations so pulsing
You whispered in my ear
But I couldn’t hear nothing
Steered me over in the corner
And kissed me on the neck
That’s when I decided ah what the heck
I put my hands on your hips
And I kissed you right back
You kissed me like a shark
That’s sniffing on a snack
And then you said “my boyfriend never kissed me like that”
I said “boyfriend” you didn’t say he was around
On this Friday Friday night
When I came and rocked your town

On this Friday night
When the feelings alright
Rockin rock steady grooves
In the middle of the night
Everything is heated up
And nobody’s standing still
With my arm around my girl
And a hundred dollar bill

The song was over
So we headed for a drink
And whatta you think
She gave a another guy a wink
Who came over for a kiss
And asked the girl “who’s this?”
She said “that’s G. love you know G. and Special Sauce?”
Then he said “I’m getting Louie kid you better get lost”
I asked the girl “who’s Louie?”
And she said “that’s my man”
Women women I just can’t understand
Then I says “I don’t want to hear about girl problems
And if you got a problem babydoll I can solve them”
But I feel you’re gonna get me in trouble
So c’mon lets leave this bar
And go out clubbing on the double
Girls putting me in a trance
All because she wants to dance
And getdown with the man
Who brought the sound
On this Friday Friday night when I came
And rocked your town

On this Friday night
When the feelings alright
Rockin rock steady grooves
In the middle of the night
Everything is heated up
And nobody’s standing still
I’m chilling with my girl
And a hundred dollar bill

I can just tell
A girl like you’s a deadend
Pressing up against me
Talking about I got a boyfriend
Now here he comes looking for you
On the dancefloor
While your pushing on my knee
Talkin bout I love you more
I’m new in town
But I’m no stranger to this
I’m not trying to exist
With a hit and run fix
I get my loving on the run
And I like having fun
But I don’t sneak around
And I don’t gotta a gun
Now give me three steps
Like the boy Lynrd Skynrd
Theres more drama in this town
Than a soap so I figured
Maybe I’ll get your digits
And maybe I will call
And maybe we’ll slip
Into the backroom down the hall
Or maybe I’ll get jacked up
By your angry boyfriend Louie
Cause his eyes are getting redder
While his anger’s busy stewing on the fire
The little trick in you brought out
On this Friday Friday night
When I came and rocked your town

On this Friday night
Everything is alright
Rock steady grooves in the middle of the night
Everything is heated up
And nobody’s standing still
I chillin with my girl
And a hundred dollar bill

Rock & Roll (Shouts Out Back To The Rappers)

This is Rock n’ Roll shouts out
Back to the rappers
A lot of people state claims
Saying hip hop don’t matter
But really what could be fatter than
Jungle J.B’s beats and streatside sounds
Profound are the sounds
That I was hearing
When at basketball league
This kid said “Yo come here
And put these headphones on your ears”
I was converted then
And practiced it for years
Rap music like jazz, funk and R & B
Blues, reggae, rock and roll soul and rock stead G
Will be around forever
And it’s never going out
That’s why I took this time to spell these lyrics out
I want to give thanks to the lyricist M.C’s
And DJs who brought me near to this
Blastmaster, KRS- the one teacher
Run D-M-C and the movie Beat Street
Eric B and Rakim were paid in full
De La Soul came along and broke all the rules
I remember when my girl bought me Tribe Called Quest
We broke up later but I kept the cassette
Kool Mo Dee, Doug E. Fresh, Big Daddy Kane
Main Source, Pharsyde, and Dana Dane
Steady B on the hill top
With Lady B on power 99 west Philly
Cypress Hill, the Goats and Das EFX
Tupac EPMP
Let’s see who’s next
Jungle Brothers, Gang Starr, and Bizmarke
Jazzy Jeff, the Fresh Prince
Put summer in my ears
Slick Rick, Funk Doobie and the Beastie Boys
And all of the rest that make some noise
There plenty more people that’s coming on
And the list could run
Until the break of dawn
But right now yo
It’s back to the blues man
Tripping, rolling, flyin or just cruising
Yeah fire it up
Eh yo do it right
We gonna go go till the morning light
It’s just a rock n roll
A little bit of rock n roll
I like a rock n roll
And give me some rock n roll
Oh la oh la yea

Love

Baby we’ve been through a lot and times sure have changed
Everybodys leaving town
Looking for better things
But I found what I want
And I got no problem working
I wish to god that my heart would stop hurting

Shops closing down
Factories outdated
People so frustrated
My whole life is changing
Just trying to find some
Solid ground
A little house with
A picket fence hows that sound

Love is all I need
Love is all I need

I’ve seen tears that are
Falling like leaves from the trees
Houses boarded up and they
Threw away the keys
But this town is where we’re born
And this town is where we’re staying
I’ll never ever turn my back
On you ever again
Come on let’s be together
I got some money put aside
And if I make it big would you take a little ride
Would you promise to always stay by my side
Would you give me true love and have nothing to hide

Would you give me your love
Would you give me your love
Would you give me your love

If you want to give me your love babe
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright

We can make a
Change in our life babe
Tonight
It’s alright
It’s alright

Around The World (Thank You)

Gimme Some Lovin'

Give me some lovin early in the morning
I just woke up with this appetite
Gimme some love in the morning light
Give me some lovin early in the morning
I just woke up with this appetite
Gimme some love in the morning light

Some people like it in the afternoon
But I don’t think that I can wait that soon
Gimme some love in the morning light
Some people like it late at night
I could wait that long but I don’t think I might
Gimme some love in the morning light
I’m gonna love you soft and love you sweet
I can feel your heart beat
I need your attention to get me started right
I’m gonna wake you up with a kiss on the cheek
Come a little closer open up to me
Good morning babe good morning babe
Open your eyes just a little bit
Good morning sunshine I can’t resist
Dreaming about you baby all through the night
