- Attention span -


Onanawo
Wo-wo-wo-wo!

Who can this be, this stranger at my door?
Although i know i've seen her once before
Come on, why can't i remember your name now
But in a way it's best that i don't say:

"It's a pleasure to meet ya
Once again for the night
I can't promise my focus"
Is it me? Or is it my attention span?

I see the way you stare at me, oh girl
I like the way you sway your hair and twirl
Come on, why can't i remember your name now
But in a way it's best that i don't say:

"It's a pleasure to meet ya
Once again for the night
I can't promise my focus"
Is it me? Or is it my attention span?

Is this more than just routine?
Weigh it down on me
Give me more than just my needs
Weigh it down on me
And we're still riding high
And we're still riding high...

        - Bright side of life -


Don't trip you know i'm always by your side
You'll be fine for the ride just be calm
Take a breath and don't cry
Look on the bright side

Rise up now make an impact
Now get your bags packed
Think about your life, the thrill
Don't you cry look on the bright side of life!

Somebody told me everything's alright
That life's too short to be afraid
Just leading up to what i want to say
Living should be giving it away
You're contemplating every single day
And learning so we educate and be positive
It is what it is, come on set examples for the kids

I don't want to scare you, no i don't
It's time you be a role model, so open up

                - Bump -


So hear me now while allowed
It's a good time to tell you when to smile, not to frown
Yes you're all shot down and you might ask how
Time flies by and you just found out

You're almost to the point where you can't turn back
You've got a leveled head on a one-way track
Don't tell me there's an end to a road
Your goal set on hold, don't think that you can go alone, okay?

But keep me up to date, i promise you I'll never lose the faith
When you get up, go on escape to a scary world
The old clich? Is true you do what you gotta do
I'm tryin to put out something new

I'm always at the edge of my seat
Constantly containing that kinetic energy
Constantly i'm reigning in the sweet melody
And i'm humming tunes to sleep
Watch me hit the peak and i'll stay up for good

This is what i'll say to you
This is my advice for you
Show me love and i'll come through
This is what it comes down to

And i'll be shouting with my hands in the air
I don't care what they say, stop the hate
I'll replace it with my eyes focused in on a place
Designed to keep a peace and refrain from race killing race

Oh my god, did you hear?
The time it takes for me to make a difference is a near
And i'm a keep on trying cause there ain't nothing i fear
On the real, hide the tears
We'll keep it flowing with a beat right here

This is what i'll say to you
This is my advice for you
Show me love and i'll come through...

            - Change the system -



Who's gonna change up the system?
We're gonna change up the system!

A man don't know if a man don't show
It takes more than some bravery for the situation grows
Communicate so vital, the whole world at an idle
Lose all your fronts and put down every rifle
It's time for us to see
Time for you and me
Too much greed, while so many bleed
Now that it's been said, put that shit to bed
Break it off, shake it off, take a hit
Light it up and cut it
You say you got a feeling to change up the system
Oh, we can light the scene, be justice of the peace
Create an unseen, come use your head
We got ten times the power than some gunshots leaving some dead
Listen up, ready gotta make some shit right
We're standing up against the ones who take away lives
I mean it like
Who wants to live a life hiding from a war between some 45's
Tryin to survive, common now
How many times you seen a glock used in self-defense?
How bout less than 15 percent, so represent, stand up
Do you really wanna own one for the sake of it?
Think about black on black crime, what you think of that?
Poor people struggle everyday and the rich get richer
What a fucked up state, so no more hate
Now let us rise up to the top
We'll spread a little love instead of seeing gunshots
Think quick, don't sit, come get
That's it, make it, commit yourself for a little bit
Oh, my time flies, short life, no cry
One time, kiss the fucking violence goodbye

You say you gotta feelin to change up the system
You say you're gonna put down your weapon of destruction
You say you gotta feelin to change up the system
You say you're gonna put down your weapon of destruction

Who's gonna change up the system?
We're gonna change up the system!

Well i'll be singing till the day i die
Using words, not the gun, cause the words show the wise
On the side, it's the bullet i despise
Forget your fucking clip, stop
Shouldn't even be there to buy
How many heads have got their morals tied up in a knot?
They forgot firing shots means a lot, naughty naught
Killin some is ending plots
And the dreams of children growing up are cut short from the gat
Do you really wanna own one for the sake of it?
Think about peace, don't you know there's a hope for that?
And while we struggle everyday
Remember that love starts with a passion to pursue fighting hate!

You say you gotta feelin to change up the system
You say you're gonna put down your weapon of destruction
You say you gotta feelin to change up the system
You say you're gonna put down your weapon of destruction

Who's gonna change up the system?

A man don't know if a man don't show
It takes more than some bravery for the situation grows
Communicate so vital, the whole world at an idle
Lose all your fronts and put down every rifle
It's time for us to see
Time for you and me
Too much greed, while so many bleed
Now that it's been said, put that shit to bed
Break it off, shake it off, take a hit
Light it up and cut it

You say you gotta feelin to change up the system
You say you're gonna put down your weapon of destruction
You say you gotta feelin to change up the system
You say you're gonna put down your weapon of destruction

Who's gonna change up the system?
Who's gonna change it up?

          - Closer i get -


People say it just doesn't matter but
The Closer i get, i'm giving in
I can't escape, damn what a shame.
Listen to me just for a minute
I can be quick no gimmick, yeah
I've got a plan we should live it.
The closer i get, i can relate
This ain't our place, let us go far far away
Find a new home, rules of our own, you and me both are the same.
Try to be strong, baby come on now, come on.
Lie after lie, so many times, when i try to find a peace of mind
I've got love for you when the time gets rough
When all the stress adds up
When you say "I've had enough"
Got love for, you when the time gets rough.
When all the stress adds up
When you say "I've had enough"
Whatever happened to the good times?
We should create for ourselves, not rely on
They'll never get a hold of me
Simple you see, simplicity.
Yeah, the closer i get, i can relate
I can't escape, oh the pain.
I've been right all the time, still tryin' to find a peace of mind.
I've got love for you when the time gets rough.
When all the stress adds up
When you say "I've had enough"
Got love for, you when the time gets rough
When all the stress adds up
When you say "I've had enough"
Yes i found my own way out
I'm going all the way
Until the people all find out
Their going all the way down.

         - Comfort zone -


Elevate yourself to the next plateau
Not trying to make sense of it all, just go
The mind state to life, nobody knows but me
When i get there i swear i'm home

It's the place i know, i'm in my comfort zone
It's the place i go, i'm in my comfort zone

Oh yeah, i finally found the place
Everything is going, nothing ever regulates
I've got a peace of mind for the music and pace
And life is good when i'm feeling this way

Even if a sad time comes, i'll remain protected
If i try real hard, i'll regain perspective
If i look in a straight line and never look back
I'll be working on the next track

Nothing but love, all around
Never forget, life is short to be down
I'm in the mood, and i'm feeling it now
Right now, right now...

Well i'll be patient if i have to
But right now it's like open up the gates
I'm feeling good, see the times gone by
In the right state of mind, getting late

And now that i can see what's mine
What i can do, in a short span of time
And i can share with the world, with a fine
Message and a vibe
We'll all be feeling alright.

        - Courage to grow -


This is a song for those
Who lost their hope
A long, a long time ago
I know someday that you will find it somehow
Because you're not too old
To accomplish goals
And all the answers are within your soul
It's up to you, you gotta figure it out
Uh huh...

Whether you want love or money
Good fortune or fame
You want a brand new card
You want the world to change
You better take some action right now, oh yes
Because there's nothing in the world that you can't get
So don't fill your life with confusion and regret
You better take some chances right now

Well you can gain the world
But for the price of your soul
Yes i know, well i know, yes i know
You can gain the world for the price of your soul
But i hope you take the road less traveled
And i hope you find the courage to grow
Well i hope you find the courage to grow

So now you're 45
And you realize
Just what you wanna do with your life
Just took some time for you to figure it out
Cause everyone one of us
Has a purpose here
Sometimes it's hidden underneath your fear
Just takes some time for the truth to come out

So whether you want love or money
Good fortune or fame
You want a brand new card
You want the world to change
You better take some action right now, oh yes
Because there's nothing in the world that you can't get
So don't fill your life with confusion and regret
You better take some chances right now

Well you can gain the world
But for the price of your soul
Yes i know, well i know, yes i know
You can gain the world for the price of your soul
But i hope you take the road less traveled
And i hope you find the courage to grow
Well i hope you find the courage to grow.

         - Educated fools -


We see their faces on the television screen
Telling us these lies if you know what i mean
Why do we follow? Why do we believe?
The words that they say when we know they deceive

So here's an opportunity to see the big picture
Don't fortune these fake idols and fixtures
We're coming up now, excuse me Mr.
This is our time to shine!

We know they do not know what they do
But they lie every day to me and you
These educated fools!

These politicians
Are on a mission
Telling us lies through the television
Another string being pulled
By these educated fools
Who have the money
To get what they want
Now it's time we give them what they need
So come on people
This is our mission
Open up your eyes and see!

We know they do not know what they do
But they lie every day to me and you
These educated fools!

           - Feeling alright -


Well it's about that time for us to look around and meet somebody new
Let's all welcome in familiar faces, perhaps somebody who
Has got a conflict in their life
Tell them you're sorry, but there's ways to change the wrong to right
See we can sit in a distant haze and watch rain clouds pour thoughts of greatness
And help our troubles sail real far away.
Well it's a struggle, everyday we're stressing
But what's a life without dedication?
I'm trying to pick up the souls intention to soak in music relaxation
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright
We're feeling good, we're feeling alright
In a moment i'll be on my way, to better days, while life is changing
And even though i've had my share of pain
I've been sympathizing and realizing
I've got a feeling that we can be a better friend
Simply complimenting every now and then
In the morning i wake up and miss the night before
Cause i love the music more and more
See we can sit in a distant haze and watch rain clouds pour thoughts of greatness
To help our troubles sail real far away
While it's a struggle everyday we're stressing
But what's a life without dedication?
I'm trying to pick up the souls intention to soak in music relaxation.

         - From the window -


From the window i wait for a sign
And wait through the night
I'm alone, i don't mind
From the get-go i sing and i cry
And try to divide my thoughts and apply.

When the wind blows, ah, give me a sign
Now give me comfort, love and supply me with
Everything i needed, less i want
I see the weather changing faster than i thought
Will we all fall, like we did, when it rained
The pressure rises with the fame
And time after time, we all fall down
Only to rise up, to rise up once again.
Don't stop, keep working again
Don't you quit, don't you ever give in
No doubt, just to let you know i'm a friend
Til the end, til the end, til the end...
