i was down and needed you so
inspired me to control
in spite of what folks had said
inspired me to control
past constraints had left me cold
inspired me to control
in spite of what folks had said
inspired me to control
hey… i see them from the bold
to the wise now
keeping the source of love
around live
help me pass on spirits alike now
you've inspired me
to be like you
you’re trying to teach me to be me
good friends talk!
when the war goes down we talk
distort the locomotion
find a process
to be honed in
recover from lust
vengeance wishes
there is no bad
from the freshest to the old school greats you all got me
running i'm running no need to be siding we all got this
Marley, Marvin, Wonder, Stones
inspired me to control
keep me pushing for my craft
inspired me to control
conscious music is where it's at
inspired me to control
satisfied with what i have
inspired me to control
you've inspired me
to be like you
you’re trying to teach me to be me
oh you, inspired me
to create
to be… oh
Marley, Marvin, Wonder, Stones, Simone, Lennon, Hathaway, Michael Jackson, Robinson, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding… yeah!
la, la, la, la, la..
inspired me to create
pioneering soul before me
dancing, rhyming
dedication to all the greats!

from London to town
to the end of the earth
we've spent the years
wishing we could see the world
we're here tired of the same old
and when i look in your eyes
i can see pure gold
forever with you i'd like to be
i didnt think that i could love again
you took my heart
and yes i love again
i never ever thought i could feel this way again
lets go
so im here waiting for you
waiting to leave
yes i'm ready
i know you'll be right on time
all the tings and all the dreams we've shared
this road will help us get there
we dont do goodbyes
its all just highs
dancing the shackles free
its what we need
i didnt think that i could love again
you took my heart
and now i love again
i never ever thought i could feel this way again
lets go
so im here waiting for you
waiting to leave
yes i'm ready
i know you'll be right on time
we dont need permission
to take off or land
from the core my heart beats
and for this love i stand
and all the things that we'll see
out of our comfort zones
i'm holding you so tightly
out into the unknown
so im here waiting for you
waiting to leave
yes i'm ready
i know you'll be right on time

it all leads to the ocean
we fly beneath the lights,
avoid all the plastic highs
keep love and truth in sight,
i know that nothings promised
we put the fear aside,
i cannot live a lie
you paint the picture, and i’ll sing the scripture
i’ll tell you how deep this thing goes
we all know every river flows
to the ocean, to the ocean
deep down beneath the earth,
i fell the fires burns
as they look to the stars,
i look into my heart
now that i’m here with you,
i know what two can do
were the earth meets the ocean
where sparks meet the breeze
when the rain to falls to river
the cycle of things
every end a beginning
every watcher knows
let it unfold, let it unfold

i dreamt of this a longtime
fought the cause of life now
keeping it intact until
shit hit the fan
so i took my heart out right
and played with others plans at night
i'm tagging me out
trying it on my own for now
can we get it together x4
your be blaming me
if your screwing leave
cos that's not my vibe
the forts compromised
can we get it together x2
so i set off to kill the sound
to silence the noise that was so loud
flip it from chaos to a sweet sweet sound
if you're wondering baby
this ain't about you it's about everything
going on in my mind
i'm needing to flip
the negative to a positive
can we get it together x4
your be blaming me
if your screwing leave
cos that's not my vibe
the forts compromised

lost in a dream with exuberant wings
taking the strides past those decadent lies i used to tell
in search of truth as the ultimate sooth
broke away from a spell that i threw on my self
turn of the tides took my eyes for a ride
when i looked inside
realized all the changes were really good
and i almost got hype
until it dawned upon me slowly that i got so far to go.
cant build it in a day my darlin
each brick gotta be laid my darling
hidden wisdom of the ages call
cant hear nothin if ya thinkin that cha know it all
an elevated state of mind is hard
guard it with with everything ya got my darling
so when it all breaks down
you're never too far from the ground
never too far from the ground you know
when it all breaks down x2
you're never too far from the ground
manatee's head sat on top of a human neck
blind to all cannon fodder i had bought into
hurt me to think of the future i'd enjoy
packed with noisey interference
lawd knows what i done been thru
i've now arrived with the light of the sun
i only just begun on this long distance run
oh it feels good and sometimes i get hype
until it dawns upon me once again i got so far to go
there will be days where you can feel it all
like you've seen it all illusions seem so small
reality sets in and steals away
all that you've earned in play
till the foundation's paved
just know the cornerstone is you
cant build it in a day my darlin
each brick gotta be laid my darling
hidden wisdom of the ages call
cant hear nothin if ya thinkin that cha know it all
an elevated state of mind is hard
guard it with with everything ya got my darling
so when it all breaks down
you're never too far from the ground
never too far from the ground you know
when it all breaks down x2
you're never too far from the ground

roots and culture
bass and drum
roots and culture
land and water
living with...
before you know me you better know your self
right and left were your common sense
step in my yard time to play your cards
talking none sense bout your spitting bars
fast cars tend to hit the fence
crime after crime now you wanna repent
i suggest that you take you're time
in a concrete box i don't wanna climb
i see you acting crazy
gentlemen and ladies
enjoy you're self but maybe
theres more to life than this
[chorus ]
they tell a fool you must toe the line
tell the wise can i steel you're mind
instead of pit fall, i take the pit stop
tell the governments, yo the war has to stop
i'd rather sing and dance round the fire
then get lost in earthy desires
pass you the book so you can teach your self
break the chains, no more hunger games
i see you acting crazy
gentlemen and ladies
enjoy you're self but maybe
theres more to life than this
[chorus ]

you make me uncomfortable
i’m not feeling your ways at all
you know i never signed up for this
i know you think that i’m being selfish
cant let you make me doubt myself
cause i was happy sitting on my shelf
i got a power that you’ve never seen
aint gonna waste it on your stupid pipe dreams
cant have it all your way
been trying to leave but you want me to stay
bend over backwards just to hear you say
you love me x 2
get your move gone, get get (repeat)
get it (repeat)
i look sweet like some candy floss
but i’m the girl that makes the mountains rock
now your scared and its no surprise
i think its time you read between the lines
i teach the boys how to breathe and stop
sweat on your brow now your burning up
feel like your looking for a miracle
well i’m standing right in front of you
cant have it all your way
been trying to leave but you want me to stay
bend over backwards just to hear you say
you love me x 2
get your move gone, get get (repeat)
get it (repeat)

young the giant
hold no fear
mysticism
loves to dare
get out of the way.....
he walks out light as a feather no burden or cares
she talks like she be holding down the nations worries under her hair
he seems fine then they're forced to move fatherless insurance bound society changed to fit what she makes...
they can't cry
until we give em enough reason with our hands
[chorus]
gotta take down the giant
while i sit in silence
sideways spread the peace never mind the violence
theres not enough recourses
its awkward while i stand abroad
we all need to move forward
gotta young girl on the corner
gotta young boy that wanna be a thug
gotta family tree that is getting chopped
down down down down from societies varietie of love..
that is
ohh sooo abstract
indigenous triiibbees
gotta find the love like
the moon at high tide
represent the light side
peace to the skies
one love with the oneness
peace to all the souls among us trust..
ill holla at you soon
there'll be no problems
don't pack up your stuff
let's try resolve things
young blood do not hurt
patience will combat
carry on you have love
& that's infectious
[chorus]

there’s a darkness deep within me
a nightmare before i wake
every day is a frustration
with every breath i take
i walk in a maze of trouble
you’re the only light i see
when we talk about our travels
i wanna see you, i wanna be you
love and lust,
both of us
seem to fall
and the world turns to dust
over and over baby,
we keeping on turning
over and over baby,
live for the fire baby
the world stops when the lion roars
do it for the love not the crowd applause
we say pause to the overlord
this is how we play it one love for all
the world stops when the lion roars (when the lion, when the lion)
do it for the love not the crowd applause (we, we do it, we, we do it all)
we say pause to the overlord (we say pause, we say pause)
this is how we play it one love for all (one love for all, one love for all yeah)
