So I wake up in the morning like "What’s on the news?"
I switch it on, I'm seeing girls in the nude,
What’s that man? "Another ad full of crap!"
What’s that then? "Another ad full of crap!"
Never mind, I switch to something else,
I wish I had something to eat I guess I’ll tighten up my belt
Oh geez! Here’s Trump again,
Reminiscing 'bout the times someone else is to blame.
You've got politics on one side, us on the other,
Playing with our minds, bound to kill one another
But we never wanna get with that,
Endeavour till we can find: a heaven: ain’t a place to fight
O’ never! When I think about it my nose bleeds, I getz the chills,
Keep thinking about the price of the government’s pills,
Keep your focus on the white lies, move your troubles to the bright side
You got 2000 problems? You just gotta live with it!
Mosquitoes in your tent man? You just gotta live with it!
Your ex is going out with the world? You just gotta live with it!
Spilling red wine on your white shirt? You just gotta live with it!
(Odd Man Black)
I was born in the Darkness of Babylonian Empirical reign,
They said: “I had to live with it”,
The Most High took me by the hand and said
“Son, you better stop living in vain, ain’t gotta live with it”
[Patoi]
An’ Him educate me; Him say vanity’s insanity infecting the path of our destiny,
The Devil’s working tirelessly to keep our minds wrapped up in a “ignorancy” so how can we see?
So I accept, believe, receive Yod Hey Wav Hey as the Son; Divine mind whose Wisdom is extraordinary.
Piety superb. He is the Eleemosynary ever benevolent One! One! One!
So we sing: Tek mi to the East I’m crying out Aba
Tek mi to the East and don’t leave me in the West
Tek mi to the East and bless the rhythm in my Prayers
You got 2000 problems? You just gotta live with it!
Mosquitoes in your tent man? You just gotta live with it!
Your ex is going out with the world? You just gotta live with it!
Spilling red wine on your white shirt? You just gotta live with it!
So why you gotta contemplate the things on the other side?
You gotta get up, pass on all the good vibes!
So why you gotta contemplate the things on the other side?
You gotta get up now!
You got 2000 problems? You just gotta live with it!
Mosquitoes in your tent man? You just gotta live with it!
Your ex is going out with the world? You just gotta live with it!
Spilling red wine on your white shirt? You just gotta live with it!

A Stone's Throw

Can’t stop asking for ya
Can’t stand hanging on ya
I’ve been longing on ya
Can’t stop thinking about cha
Can’t stop asking for ya
Can’t stand hanging on ya
I’ve been longing on ya
Can’t stop thinking about
Time that passes, that lasted
Coming on the fastest plane to get you
Talking international passport,
Finishing my Master’s class to get you.
I’ll been doing things yeah you know me,
I’ll be there in less than 5, 4, 3, (2, 1)
To one of those adventures you don’t know of,
Taking all the choices you’ve never been told of.
I don’t know what time it is when I waken,
I just wanna smile a bit for a second,
I just wanna fly with you, get tired with you,
Up to the moon, we’ll be getting
Counting all the clouds, yeah you’re seeing devotion,
Listening to Nas, I’ll be feeling emotion,
Guilty bout the gas that I put in the ocean,
And aerial is nice so I forget that notion
Way out of space, I’m done doing a lot of thinking,
Time’s gone away, there’s still something that feels so real
In the plane, can’t believe everything’s so easy
I can’t wait, oh a stone’s throw away
Keeping it, own your time, take a minute,
Turn the lights real low, can you feel it?
If it’s all for you and me,
It's really worth for you to see
Come on baby, show me your backside,
Never went bad since you’re baptised,
I want to see you on skype,
Tell you things I cannot type.
I miss a bunch of things i mean it,
Come out of bounds I know you feel it,
Come out of bed, you got played, your head’s a mess,
You're never leaving anyway, your heart’s all over the place
You know what love is?
I know what love is
You know what love is?
I know what love is
You know what love is?
Being the man and handling your biz'
What’s love gotta do with it?
Way out of space, I’m done doing a lot of thinking
Time’s gone away, there’s still something that feels so real
In the plane, can’t believe everything’s so easy
I can’t wait, oh a stone’s throw away

Play In Sand

We made of passion
End up in ashes
We build and break things man
Like sand castles
It’s beautiful when it’s ephemeral,
Will the time keep running if the mind can stop it?
Laughing with you is like a fountain of youth,
it happens with you cause you can handle the truth
The best of friends, yeah, sipping and relaxing
Sipping in the grass Cool Kids just keep on laughing
We can make the best things if we get the chances
We can make the bells ring even if they’re plastic
Wanna do the math? yeah we consider it a blessing
Thing’s so good, just to have it for a second,
Second's gone past, oh baby don’t cling
Owning a castle don’t make you no king
Open up your eyes this beauty ain't forever
Digging up gold baby you will find a treasure
Memories way back
When kids would play in sand
I think about that
And I like the way it feels
Memories way back
When kids would play in sand
I think about that
And I like the way it feels
Yeah, we don’t play like we used to,
Loops and sounds and balls in the playground.
Got the feeling we move this crowd way more gracefully
Cause when we shout a line on the top of our lungs,
Music has the power to inspire the young,
Make another record we can sound the alarm,
“Gotta stay together, make communities strong!”
We never knew one like that,
Papa tell me why you never teach me like that?
Brothers in the family you gotta chit-chat
Passing on the word, it’s the one that comes out!
Man, that’s what’s true to me,
Straight and from the heart, it’s the unity,
Coming from the start, that’s community,
Never heard of that? Man, that’s news to me!
Memories way back
When kids would play in sand
I think about that
And I like the way it feels
Memories way back
When kids would play in sand
I think about that
And I like the way it feels

Afterwork

2 sips and I lay back,
Wonder if I’ve got to be the one to take that call.
Work pace: gotta fake that
Never want to be mistaken trouble maker (no)
Big boss waving, summoning me, the devil tells me
“Can i get a pen & hot cup of tea?”
“Yeah!" 2 sugars and a pen will I be bringing?
Thing is: I’ve got a girl that I’ve been digging
I want her right now! Not the tea!
Travel the world somehow, pay for thee!
We 'bout to go downtown, trick or treat,
Another day I never dare but I won’t take no risk.
I’ll buy her wigs and fancy things,
I'll down a pint of spicy wings,
I'll make her dance on Ricky James,
And then stop! stop! -and back again!
On and on the night is on the way,
I can feel her heart is in my hand,
Closer baby don’t you understand
Choking every time I need to say…
What have I done these things keep happening to me?
Man I just wish that time could fade to see!
After work we party!
Now's that time that we go out together!
After work we party!
Come on and let your lovin’
Shine all over you
After work we party!
Now's that time that we go out together!
After work we party!
Come on and let your lovin’
Shine all over you
Come in every day like it’s a dancehall
What d'you reckon “meetings” really do stand for?
Got so many things to do, it’s on me
Let’s go have a drink or two get tipsy,
But I don’t wanna hear you say “I can’t make it”
Saving up a few excuses, I get it
I’ll just go to bed and realise my life is shit i’ll finally smoke a spliff
Oh no no!
Living the life, oh baby it’s amazing
Get up and ask yourself if it’s a phase and
Live in the now forget about your pain and
Never look back you’re missing everything and all the vivid little moments that give you the giggles,
Having a nice time let your body wiggle,
Don’t give f*ck! Oh wait it’s five past two, I missed my bus again
What have I done these things keep on happening to me?
Man I just wish that time could fade to see!
After work we party!
Now’s that time when we go out together!
After work we party!
Come on and let your lovin’
Shine all over you
After work we party!
Now’s that time when we go out together!
After work we party!
Come on and let your lovin’
Shine all over you and me
