"The Reasons"


It's just the way it goes, and everybody does,
And nobody said I can't, and this is how I feel
And I just wanted to, I really thought I could

Because The Reasons why, Why do we do the things we do?
Because, I try to make you see these things the way I do

It is what it is, and that's too bad for you
I don't even care, Why can I why not
And I do what I want, and this cause I said so

Because The Reasons why, Why do we do the things we do?
Because, I try to make you see these things the way I do

Because The Reasons why, Why do we do the things we do?
Because The Reasons, The Reasons, Cause The Reasons

Because The Reasons why, Why do we do the things we do?
Because, I try to make you see these things the way I do

Because The Reasons why, Why do we do the things we do?
Because The Reasons, Because The Reasons, I try to reason.

"I And Identify"


Love, Suffer, Patient, Kind
And never bow - jealousy
Earth, Selfish, No angry
No memory won't, separate my wicked ways

Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away
I and identify - This is what love is.

Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away
I and identify - This is what love is

Gentle, Purified, Stay true, Protection
Always trusting, Continue hoping,
Conquer, never fail

Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away
I and identify - This is what love is.

Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away
I and identify - This is what love is
This is what love is

This is what love is!
Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away

Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away
I and identify - This is what love is.

Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away

"Asthma"


Breathe!
Suffocation within
because of what your sayin'
To understand!
Is to begin again
Yet to Begin!
Is to live again

I tried living my life through your eyes
Smother me with your ways, to death, no breath.
Your choking what little faith I have left.
In time I find the truth lies, Inside the truth lies, Inside

Breathe!
Suffocation within
because of what your sayin'
To understand!
Is to begin again
Yet to Begin!
Is to live again

I would die, to breathe again
I would die, to breathe again
I would die, to breathe again
I would die, to breathe again

Breathe!
Suffocation
I want to Breathe!
Suffocation
I understand

I would die, to breathe again
I would die, to breathe again
Breathe

"Sleeping Awake"


Reveal to me the mysteries
Can you tell me what it means?
Explain these motions and metaphors
Unlock these secrets in me
Describe the vision, the meaning is missing
Won't anybody listen?

Define the riddles of my mind
Nothing is really what it seems

Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping...

Can you see it? The writing,
Can you tell me what it means?
Translate the symbols, Enigma
Expressions keep questioning me
The message is written, the meaning is missing
Won't anybody Listen?

Prophesy, interpretate the signs
Nothing is really what it seems

Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
And do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
And do you feel like I feel?
And can you dream like I dream?

Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Or do you feel like I feel?
Or do you dream like I dream?
Anybody see me?
Anybody hear me?
Anybody feel me?
Anybody out there?!?

Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Anybody see me?
Anybody hear me?
Anybody feel me?
Anybody out there?!?

"School Of Hard Knocks"


[chorus]
we from the school, the school of hardknocks
who's ready to rock? (ready to rock)
are you ready to rock? (ready to rock)
round'n up suckaz, knock'em, knock'em out the box

Graduate at 13, the streets made me a scholar
flood the microphone, one by one, hear'em holler
the sure shoots, rock box, rhym'n on blasted beats
mics on my side, they call me Hip Hop Along Cassidy
rap'n catasrophe, but only time will tell
could we excel and rock bells like LL
made me feel I was ill, music euphoria
went to the doctor, D.O.C gave me the formula
hey young world, the world is yours
turned my whole wide world into metaphors
you kept me straight, when times got hard
so let me reminisce over you my God

[chorus]

I came through the door, I said it before
we pioneers, redefining hardcore
you want more MC's and DJ's
dues we pays 8 out of 7 days
in many ways, I've seen a lot go around
pound for pound from S.D to Boogie Down
we've been around, bout as round as they come
from all yes y'alls, to dum ditty dum dum
see this is philosophy, on the industry
that there ain't no other brothaz bout as bad as we
you see my squad stays on point
rock this funky joint.
can you dig it?

[chorus]

"Roots In Stereo"

Original Roots In Stereo, ya know
One time, bring it down selecta

I got that Boom Bye Bye, so nobody disrespect, Jah love
Give me strength and power flow through white dreads ('nough said)
You all walk with kings, talk with kings
When it all goes down, have no idea what it really means.
To live by words, if scripture is roots,
and the wise hold they tongue when the youth speak the truth.
You learn real quick, where I'm from if you don't belong
Only the strong survive, Southtown and Babylon
(See Babylon Burnin to the ground yo)
You think your number 1 wicked selecta
Try to sneak up in my hood, we not gon'let ya
(Babylon's burnin to the ground, yo)
In the streets they hear your name, they no respect ya
You can run and hide, in the end we gon' getcha

Boom Biddy Bye Bye
Original Roots In Stereo
So rep the streets you ride on.
Chant them down with that rude boy sound,
and watch the whole world lie down.
We generals in the streets they know
Who wears the crown for shine now
It got that champion sound moshin through your town
We go make the world go lie down.

Me say, Hey natty dreadlocks where you come from?
Where the mountains watch the city and waters touch the sun
Where some carry crosses like others carry guns
And pray Jah be glorified till the day soon come.
Follow me
Lick a shot if you a mighty warrior
Lick a shot if you a freedom fighter
Lick a shot if you a true souljah
Now dance your way back to Zion
(Now Dance your way back to Zion)

I put it down for your love, till my journey is done
And let the stories be told how the battle was won
So I grabbed the microphone and I started to run
Here I come, Boom Biddy Bye
Here I come

Boom Biddy Bye Bye
Original Roots In Stereo
So rep the streets you ride on.
Chant them down with that rude boy sound,
and watch the whole world lie down.
We generals in the streets they know
Who wears the crown for shine now
It got that champion sound moshin through your town
We go make the world go lie down.

Empty nation just a phase, redemptions on it's way.
The people love to talk but they don't got that much to say.
Generation of orphans whose hearts are all ablaze,
Little light in a lot of darkness goes a long way.
Freedom, hearts bleed, and I see them feedin poison.
Poor choices, spirits screamin, trying to break these boundaries.
Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet.
Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet.

Original Roots In Stereo
So rep the streets you ride on.
Chant them down with that rude boy sound,
and watch the whole world lie down.
We generals in the streets they know
Who wears the crown for shine now
It got that champion sound moshin through your town
We go make the world go lie down.
We go make the world go lie down.
Make the world go lie down.

Bloodstain drippin through the rain,
Face down, trip and feel the pain.
Get up, you conduct your own train, rippin it up, stepping it up, raising it up
We're the blood of God's veins, we gotta maintain get past the blame.
And then this fame came, for a reason and a season.
Then I'll stay up, not lay low,
And raise yours and up the offering
And then the blessings will flow

We go make the world go lie down.
Make the world go lie down.
We go make the world go lie down.
Make the world go lie down.

Dripping in the rain, face down, trip and feel the pain
Get up, you conduct your own train, rippin it up, stepping it up, raising it up
We're the blood of God's veins, we gotta maintain past that of blame
Gathers fame, came for a reason and a seasons
Here to stay up, not lay low

"Lights Out"

It goes one for the money homie, two for the show.
We tore the roof off this mother now it's time to blow.
Like we don't need no water, don't bother, we let it burn.
We keep the fire just a little bit hotter, that way you'll learn.
Respect I earned, started with the clique that i hanged.
Respect I earned, ever since i got in this game.
Respect I earned, never wanting fortune or fame.
I'd rather have these south Diego streets knowin my name.

Chiggy-check, microphone check.
