Track Name: Say Hello
LYRICS:
You got to get up, stand /
Rise to the music jump up /
If you loving what you’re doing and never ready to give up /
‘Cause we lifting you high right by your boot straps /
Who’s that crew keeping them hollerin true that /
You got to wake up, live, love with a bit of energy /
'Cause the rhythm you’re sending me is oh so nice /
And I finally found the reason the meaning for my beliefs /
And I been waiting for this my whole life /
And I said /

CHORUS:
Say hello to the table if it turns you /
Say hello to the fire if it burns you /
Say hello to the color of my eyes /
Just don’t say good bye /
Don’t be afraid /
Say hello to the table if it turns you /
Say hello to the fire if it burns you /
Say hello to the bluing of the sky /
Just don't say good bye /
Don't be afraid /

You got to shape up ship out /
Dip to the music flip out /
If you’re loving what you’re doing and never ready to give out /
If it sends you a message you’re dying to hear /
You better open up your eyes /
Let if find your ears /
You got to wake up, live, love with a bit of energy /
‘Cause the feeling you’re sending me is oh so nice /
And I finally found the purpose /
It’s perfect ‘cause I deserve it /
I been waiting for this my whole life /
And I said /

Pickin it up from where we left off ya see /
Witches are real and if you don’t believe me /
You can flip on the news on any t.v. /
But only music hypnotize me /
So we gonna bump till the break of dawn /
Pass it on the music blasts and lasts the night long /
Live for the sea and be eternally /
Loving because the sweet reggae music makes me /

CHORUS /
Track Name: Mexico
LYRICS:
Went sailin on a voyage /
Over through the mountain and the sea /
Heard the music that was comin with originality /
Seen the waves /
And when they’re crashin with the perfect melody /
That’s the reason /
That I’m chillin with my girl down by the beach /
I got my lover, got my stereo /
It’s all that really matters /
When you’re thinkin about it all /
I got my guitar and I got someplace to go /
And that’s the reason I’m chillin /
On a Sunday afternoon in Mexico /

CHORUS:
In Mexico /
Down in Mexico it goes something like… /

The day is coming when people from the west to the east /
Gonna be livin in harmony the war is gonna cease /
Everybody all they want is just a little bit of peace /
That’s the reason that I’m chillin when I’m diving off the reef /
I got my brother and I got my stereo /
It’s all that really matters /
When you’re thinkin about it all /
And how come all the people there already know /
And that’s the reason I’m chillin /
On a Sunday afternoon in Mexico /

CHORUS /

Yo we the biggest and the baddest most happenest rappers /
Keeping it clapping, moving and shaking/ Bending and breaking their backs /
So when they hear it /
It draws them closer /
Like it’s supposed to /
Be the only thing they know /
That ain’t never keeping them sober /
So intoxicated, we levitated from the get go /
And when it hits you feel no pain /
Never wanting to let go /
So breathe slow, in and out /
‘Cause that’s what it’s all about /
Time to hear the music let me hear you shout /
In Mexico /

CHORUS /
Track Name: Set Sail
Tell me where you going and where you been /
Take me away from the world I’m in /
Cause when it’s filled with sin, crime, strife, and danger /
And everybody seems a little bit stranger /
I can’t seem to find my right of way, I say /
It’s getting harder every day, in every way /
It’s hard to explain how I feel, but I know the feeling is real /

CHORUS:
Whenever my ship sets sail, I’ll be on the shore /
Dancing with the ocean like I never did before /
And watch it as it comes and goes /
‘Cause I know that someone knows /
This is the life for me /

And whenever my ship sets sail /
I’ll be on the beach /
Waltzing to the water with the sand beneath my feet /
So I can watch another sunrise /
You know I can’t deny /
This is the life for me, the life for me /
Whenever my ship sets sail /
The water be my daughter /
Take it all away, leave me waiting for the slaughter /
After the fact it’s that this is my habitat /
This is the life for me /
And wherever the water runs deep /
You are not alone /
Look up in the sky, let the stars take you home /
After the fact it’s that, this life is where it’s at /
This is the life for me /

Tell me where you going and where you been /
Take me away from the world I’m in/
Cause when I’m giving in to all the pain and pressure /
And everybody out there is coming to get you /
I’ll never let them come and take my soul away, I say /
It’s getting harder everyday, in every way /
It’s hard to explain how I feel but I know the feeling is real /

CHORUS /

Everybody, all the time /
Everybody, get right now /
Everybody, all the time /
Everybody, get right down to it /

CHORUS /
Track Name: Impressions
I said I woke up hung over on the weekend /
Slept my days away /
It’s 3:30 in the p.m. dreaming of the words I wish I could say /
And so I was thinking everything was just right smooth /
Thinking that you was in just the right mood but /
All along I’m rolling ‘round in the wrong /
‘Cause I never got no call from you /
Alright /
Now tell me what it was I was supposed to do /
I was wasted away in my head /
Was it the rose petaling or the door opening or a little love letter instead /
And indeed I couldn’t read between the lines no /
I’m feeling a bit confused /
But I said now what to do /
When I finally get the message clear /
It’s just a sweet goodbye from you /

CHORUS:
I was under the impression /
That we was doing it right /

I said I woke up in the mornin on a weekday /
Had this feelin in my head /
I rolled over and under my covers /
Was a strange girl layin in my bed /
Come on two years later she’s sayin she loves me /
I really don’t know just what to do /
I feel like I love her but under my covers /
I’ll never say goodbye to you /
I said now could you run it by me just one more time /
I really wasn’t sure of what you said /
I was too busy getting caught up in the lies /
From the sweet other side of my bed /
I said now I could never imagine or even possibly fathom /
The day that you would turn away /
But I realize that when you’re walking /
And I’m doing all the talking /
That you never had no words to say /

CHORUS /
Track Name: Green Girl
LYRICS:
I was introduced to the white girl /
I was introduced to the green girl /
I was introduced to the yellow haired /
Polka dotted fly triple stack /
Twenty-five dollar bill girl /

I’m introduced to the brown girl /
I was introduced to the paper girl /
I was introduced the liquid form /
Come on now stick it where it’s warm baby /
Just don’t turn away /

I hear the music and I feel the soul /
Now get your green together /
Cause it’s time to roll /
I know the color’s swirlin acid takin its toll /
But if you wanna be free /
Well you can never go home /

Cause I refuse to take the time /
Not to lay it on the line /
White girl get it from the front /
Green girl take it from behind /
With all this shit, from all I’ve seen /
Nothing or something, it’s all green /
It’s dedicated to the lady who kept me up in the night time /
Enabled me to write rhymes /
And hit me with them white lines /
And high times, better for sure know I’m down till the casket falls /
While I’m blowing reefer rings of smoke /
The size of basketballs /
And I got the method if you want it come and get it /
I bet it will be the most unregrettable chemical ever /
Making you feel like you was sittin' on top of the world /
And giving props to all of my colors and all of my girls /
So much in a name /
So much more in you /
Track Name: Habit
LYRICS:
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 drinkin and women and music /
It’s just gonna /
Give me another reason to use and abuse it /
But still I gotta /

CHORUS:
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 /

You know I got alot of wrongs to right /
I been fightin, lying, cheatin on you every night /
I got a habit yo I’m bad at it but it’s alright /
‘Cause in the end I wanna be the one holding you tight /
But I got to hold on make way /
I said the drinking and the women and the music got me crazy /
But I’m addicted /
Uplifted, now I just can’t stop /
Yo she’s all that I need /
Everything that I got ya know /

CHORUS /
Track Name: Cool-Aid
LYRICS:
CHORUS:
You lie around and listen to the sound /
Of the neighborhood children on the playground /
You back away from what makes you afraid /
‘Cause nothing means that much anymore anyway /

Back in the day we knew we had it made /
But didn’t even know the flavor of the cool aid /
Now we back away from what makes us afraid /
'Cause nothing means that much anymore anyway /

It's red it’s blue, it’s sunk its teeth in you /
The time’s tickin if you only knew /
But I know it’s true and so I take a few /
To bring the music back /
And give the rest to you /
So pump out the treble, pump out the bass /
Stick out your fat ass and tongue take a taste /
Put on my cd and your poker face /
Your cool aid is a terrible thing to waste /

So many colors and flavors tell me how do I savor the favor /
Of giving all my cool aid to you /
I’m marinating with you /
Conversating with you /
I never met ya but I bet it’s probably harder than you /
Forget I’m smarter than you /
Quick to elevate to higher ground /
Loving what I’m living yo it doesn’t matter anyhow /
And anyway, any day, anybody wanna say /
Yo we never move, gladly step aside let ya play /
And you finish laughing thinking they winners /
I stand stout like a glass of guinness /
Quickly diminish any fucking mc /
Who wants to battle with me /
From cool aid to high sea dog, we rockin it g /
Numerous hues, orange, yellows, purples, and blues /
I’m flavalistically calling my shit /
Tasteful abuse /
Time for your juice, better let loose /
Before you get sprayed /
And fill the holes in your body with shots of cool aid /
Open wide for me /

CHORUS /

It's orange and yellow, hard but can be mellow /
Look it in the eye step back and say hello /
Listen to me bellow like a bass or a cello /
Maybe an alcoholic but a fine fresh fellow /
So drop out the treble pump out the bass /
Stick out your fat ass and tongue take a taste /
Put on my cd and your poker face /
Your cool aid is a terrible thing to waste /
It’s pink it’s green /
Nice but can be mean /
Sip it down slow disrupt the whole scene /
I might be a fiend but so fresh and so clean /
Outkasted blasted to the outer ring /

So drop out thetreble, pump out the bass /
Stick out your fat ass and tongue take a taste /
Put on my cd and your poker face /
Your cool aid is a terrible thing to waste /

CHORUS /

Nice to know ya /
But you biting on my flow /
and now you're sippin' on my cool aid /
Track Name: Ocho Rios
LYRICS:
Went sailin on a voyage /
Over through the mountain and the sea /
I heard the music that was comin with originality /
I heard the waves /
And when they’re crashin with the perfect melody /
Well that’s the reason / That I’m chillin with my girl down by the beach /

CHORUS:
I got my lover, I got my stereo/
It’s all that really matters /
When you’re thinking about it all /
I got my guitar and I got someplace to go /
And that’s the reason I’m chllin on a Sunday afternoon /
In Mexico /

I got my lover and I see her under moonlight on the shore /
I’m feelin so good I don’t know if I can take it anymore /
And that’s the reason I’m chillin on a Monday morning /
In Ocho Rios /
biding my time /

We landed on an island brimming with the possibility /
That I would one day see beyond /
The lonely mountain and the sea /
I heard a guitar it was playin with the perfect melody /
And that’s the reason /
that I’m chillin with my girl down by the beach /

biding my time /
We sailin on a voyage over to the sea /
And suddenly I feel the music /
As it’s coming over me /
And once again it’s happening to be the best thing I can sea /
The more I see the shore /
The more I feel like it was meant to be /
And so I roll with the rip tide /
I hit you with the hip glide /
I dive right into the sea and see you on the flipside /
Searching for the perfect hottest burning beach around /
Nowhere to be found /
Sitting in Ocho Rios and getting down /

CHORUS /
Track Name: Alright
LYRICS:
I got a feeling got no time ya see /
To hear ya fussin and fightin whining why ya see /
I know it’s gonna be alright /
Get some wine the sea /
Will soothe and make the mind move silently /
I know it’s gonna be alright /
Got my paper and my pen together /
Can’t be confused ‘cause I’m flyin high in any weather /
Got so much soul yes you know I cannot be no better /
Now everybody get ya grind on /
Yo from beginning to ending my chapter’s flipping and spinning /
While I’m catering to nonsense / Setting tables of contents /
Over continents, deserts, oceans, and landmasses /
Spreading like jam /
To make you and your honey shake them asses, damn /
I’m looking sharp /
Steadily sticking like bookmarks /
Heavily written spitting sentences /
Showing off book smarts /
Smarter than a fucking whip /
Cool as a fan /
You feeling alright /
Sing it if you know what I’m sayin /

CHORUS:
‘Cause it just goes to show that you just may never know /
‘Cause when it rains it pours just another episode /
And now I hope you know this is how the story goes /
But it’s alright, it’s alright
Track Name: Sweet Summertime
LYRICS:
Got a message on the phone today /
All they had to say /
My summertime it had gone away /
Make room for the winter /
It will be okay /

But when the sun goes down /
It turns my smile to a frown /
I can’t stop spinnin all around /
I wanna fall to the ground /
But we all must walk this road sometimes /
Yes we all must walk this road sometimes /
We cry /

CHORUS:
As we waitin’ for the sweet summertime /
Yes it’s so sublime /
Grab the tequila don’t forget the lime /
Put your name on my bottle /
So I know you’re mine /
(repeat)

When the snow’s gone, melted away /
All I have to say is /
When you feel it you just got to play /
Hear the reggae music and you feel okay /
And when you’re in the sweet sunshine /
When you see that sign /
Feel the rays of the sun on your face /
And you know that you’ll be just fine /
I found a message in the bottle /
I don’t know if it’s mine /
And now I’m searching for the meaning /
Looking in between the lines /
While I’m reading every letter /
And I’m staring at the sign /
Searching for a piece of that sweet summertime /
I wanna be it /
Wanna believe it /
I wanna open up my eyes I wanna see it /
I wanna feel it in my soul, heart, body, and mind /
I wanna get up for that sweet summertime /

CHORUS /
Track Name: Throwdown
LYRICS:
How could I ever bear witness to a man /
Who comes running down to the other side of reason /
And jumps up with a gun in his hand /
How could I ever solemnly swear to no end /
That the man that I was seeing /
The man that I saw was bleeding /
Was leading me to the promise land /
I said now hold on /
How could I ever scream to the top of my lungs /
Without making a noise I’m not taking a voice /
I ain’t sounding like every other one /
How could I ever dare to close my eyes /
Open up another side /
Find time /
Just take it as it comes and leave it a surprise /
I said now hold on /

CHORUS:
No way, no how /
Music is the only way I throw down /
But I want to know now /
How could I go down with you /

How could I ever stand firm on your solid ground /
And rise up to the fear /
Never holding my ear when the roaring of the canon sounds /
You fire one shot /
It never touch my body /
How could I ever be so sincere /
We never runnin, never duckin /
From the gunman /
And the words ring so clear /
Now and they say /

Got a little story for you /
But if all the people /
They stop listening /
Then what can anybody do /
I’ve got a story for you /
Are you listening /

People wanna touch us /
Wanna take us /
Wanna rush us /
But they never gonna shake our sound /
They fake it and we make it /
Strip us down naked /
But can they ever break us down /
No /

CHORUS /
Track Name: Another Man's Shoes
LYRICS:
Steal from ‘em when you’re late for rent /
Knowin’ when you get it that it’s dated, spent /
But still you keep on tickin never watchin the game /
And every day your livin seems almost the same /
Got to keep you head up, hard to breathe down there /
At the bottom of the ocean baby nobody cares /
But you keep on rollin when they keep on reelin /
And if you catch the sun /
You know you might catch that feelin /
But you /

CHORUS:
You never know when that feelin may go /
And sometimes /
You’ll never realize the fire in your eyes /
You may never ever walk in another man’s shoes /
But still you gotta /
Taken the time find your mind /
Find a reason to choose /

Give to 'em when they want they need /
Steppin on the other side watch ya feet /
But still ya see G.L.A.S.S. /
When you’re cut you bleed /
And everybody knows /
You can’t believe what you read /
Got to step aside if ya wrong ya wrong /
But if you turn the other cheek /
Would we all get along /
It's the same question /
We all keep crying /
Or do you know the answer /
And we all keep denying /
But you /

CHORUS /

6 billion in the world today /
People fighting and their fussing /
Earth rottin away /
Now it’s gotten to the point and I was wantin to say /
Take a minute stop, relax and pause and pray /
You can’t dance with the devil in the pale moon light /
Who’s wrong, who’s right, you /
I don’t wanna fight you /
wanna stand tall, gotta be the role model /
But it’s hard to find the answer in the bottom of a bottle /
But you/

CHORUS /

Let's shed a little light on this situation /
I got nothing left, but the time I'm wasting. /
I got nothing left to give but the flavor you're tasting /
trying to run fast but the rats are racing /
and I'm chasing these dreams like I'm chasing these papes /
like I'm chasing the times that are changing your fate /
All you need is a lil elbow grease when you're scraping by trying to rise rise til you scrape the sky /
So pick me up pick me up get high , high /
So pick me up pick me up get high, high /

CHORUS /
Track Name: Scream
LYRICS:
In the morning when I wake up /
People try to bring me down /
But I got the axe if they be the tree /
Baby I’m gonna cut ‘em to the ground /
Cause I got the power /
I got the need /
To open up your eyes to see /
That the party, it be jumpin /
And the music, it be bumpin /
And you know who the movement be /

CHORUS:
‘Cause everybody wanna ride tonight /
Really all we gotta do is roll /
Everybody getting high tonight /
People gotta take it real slow /

Everybody feelin right tonight /
Really all you gotta do is swing /
And if you’re not getting live tonight /
It makes me want to scream /

So come on scream for me /

In the evening when I grow weary /
People try to bring me down /
But I got the axe if they be the tree /
Baby I’m gonna cut ‘em to the ground /
Cause I got the power /
I got the need /
To open up your eyes to see /
That the party, it be jumpin /
And the music, it be bumpin /
And you know who the movement be /
I just wanna have a night without having to grab a knife /
And not having somebody take away my natural right /
To act accordingly /
It’s important we getting ‘em hype /
And the only murdering going on is me killing this mic /
That’s the single solitary most positive bit of spittin /
That I could possibly give to prohibit emptying clips in the mix /
The rhythms is hitting, the music is hot /
You knocking your head back and forth to the shit /
Giving it what you got /
Come on /

CHORUS /
Track Name: Kind
LYRICS:
Could you be so kind /
To get me off of your mind /
‘Cause I’m crazy for this /
Yes I’m crazy for this /
Could you be so nice /
To never pass me right by /
Lord because I was looking for this /
I was looking for this /
You were turning my insides blue /
Turning me inside you /
Turning my insides blue /
You were turning me inside /

Could you really be so kind /
To get me off of your mind /
Could you be so kind /
To get me off of your mind /
‘Cause I’m crazy /
