ALL CAUGHT UP I’m all caught up in another life that I never thought would come to this I'm working hard but I’m out of touch with reality and how it is Looking for anything I that I can find in my life just to pass the time Looking for truth, but getting caught in the lies overcoming my mind Can feel it in the waves that flow Can feel it in the waves that flow I’m all caught up in a state of mind that I never ever wanted to feel Stuck in a rut, and I’m so messed up when all I really want is to heal Faced with the question in this life and it’s why’d this have to happen to me? The truth of the matter is in the end is maybe’s what I needed to see Can feel it in the waves that flow Can feel it in the waves that flow Can feel it in the waves that flow Can feel it in the waves that flow

HUGGING TREES Hey Mr. Troll why you gonna do to me, Coming on my list question my validity, Citing bias sources spewing stupidity, Calling me names losing all your credibility. Cause you’re a troll troll trying to fuel up my anger, You’re a troll troll trying to mess with my day. You’re a troll troll trying to fuel up my anger, You’re a troll troll trying to mess with my day. But you ain’t gonna get me today no I’m out here huggin trees you’re out there eating candy, Can’t do nothin times aren’t so dandy, Coming on my post trying to be so manly Shotgun your beers drinking in your brandy Cause you’re a troll troll trying to fuel up my anger, You’re a troll troll trying to mess with my day. You ain’t gonna get me today cause You’re a troll troll trying to fuel up my anger, You’re a troll troll trying to mess with my day. But you ain’t gonna get me today no Hey mr troll what you gonna say to me, Coming on my list question all my capabilities, won’t be too long before you get too angry, You’re a real spokesman for your political party, nah Cause you’re a troll troll trying to fuel up my anger, You’re a troll troll trying to mess with my day. You’re a troll troll trying to fuel up my anger, You’re a troll troll trying to mess with my day. But you ain’t gonna get me today no

THIS ONE'S FOR YOU The light from your eyes, it's gone away But the drive from you life, it's here to stay I remember the smile on your face A sweet memory I can't erase I woke to some terrible news today The DC has left and gone away Remember the times I heard you play And all of the words you had to say Well this one's for you Well This one's for you This one's for you Well this one's for you You needed the Island's ease and flow A beautiful place to ease your soul I saw you standing on the side of the road Oh, the places we did go Well this one's for you Well this one's for you This one's for you Well this one's for you This one's for you Well this one's for you Well this one's for you Well this one's for you Well this one's for you Well this one's for you This one's for you...

The Journey 05:04
THE JOURNEY Heading towards the ocean Heading towards the coast Looking for the beauty Of a place I’ve never known Travelled to the Aina Still trying to find my way And what I found brought me down And what I found brought me back up again Where do we go from here Where do we go from here Where do we go from here Nothing is crystal clear Yo, this day is a miracle, it's one of a kind From the thunder of the heavens comes it's stunning design Time is real cunning, it will keep you confined No more rushing, yo, I'm rolling on that island vibe In the silence I can hear the guidance right Gives me the clarity to open while they amplify I'm so grateful cuz I've always had enough Never had a whole lot of stuff but it ain't that rough Even when painful things happen to happen to me I tactfully embrace those moments for inner alchemy Tragedies, they transform our faculties Through hard times my being is rising vibrantly I think its funny how our paths unfold We think we're in control and that we know where they go But then Life's winds blow us to places unknown No matter where we roam, yo we're always at home Where do we go from here Where do we go from here Where do we go from here Nothing is crystal clear

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE I’m stuck in a place I never thought I’d be I’m going through things I never thought I would see Trying to find a place and time in my life To try to break through and try to realign Looking for truth but all I get are lies Looking for answers I’m still trying to find I’m falling deeper under the veil I hope in the end I find a way to prevail I’m going down down down down down the rabbit hole Now I’m going down down down down down the rabbit hole Now I’m going down down down down down the rabbit hole and I don't wanna know more I’m going down down down down down the rabbit hole and I don't wanna, wanna know more I’m moving closer to the light in my life But I’m still weighed down by all the stresses and strife Overcoming my mind and overcoming my vibe To try to embrace all the potential inside I’ve played the game and I’m beginning to see Doesn’t bring out the best I wanted in me I’m falling back to the patterns in life Where pretty much nothing ever seems to go right I’m going down down down down down the rabbit hole Now I’m going down down down down down the rabbit hole Now I’m going down down down down down the rabbit hole and I don't wanna know more I’m going down down down down down the rabbit hole and I don't wanna, wanna know more

Island Time 03:53
ISLAND TIME When I wake up in the Morning time You know I love to rise and shine You know the feeling that makes me feel just right Moving up and down so slow And I love the way you do It’s sending shivers down my spine A feeling that makes me feel alive You got me moving on Island Time I love the way you shine You got me vibing on Island Time Woah Woah Woah You got me grooving on Island Time I love the rhythm of the rhyme Keep me moving on Island Time Flash forward to the evening time and we’ve got somewhere to be Another show down by the oceanside And it’s a show I want to see And I love the way you groove Dancing until the sun will rise A feeling that makes me feel alive You got me moving on Island Time I love the way you shine You got me vibing on Island Time Woah Woah Woah You got me grooving on Island Time I love the rhythm of the rhyme Got me moving on Island Time You got me moving on Island Time I love the way you shine Got me vibing on Island Time Woah Woah Woah Ya keep me grooving on Island Time I love the rhythm of the rhyme Keep me moving on Island Time Woah

Like a Bird 04:00
Like a bird uses it’s wings to fly, We too shall reach the sky, Just keep your head way up high, Open your arms and let your wings take flight. Like a lion that’s standing proud, We too shall roar out loud, Just keep your head in the game and out of the clouds, Stand tall let the people hear your sound Like a sloth that’s in its prime, We too shall take our time, Just be careful when you make that climb and when you get to the top it will be just fine. Like a dolphin that’s in the sea, We too shall feel so free Just open your mind to the possibilities, And do what’s right for you and me

No Knock 06:02
NO KNOCK Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you It’s not what it should come to Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you Cause we can do better I won’t knock you if you don’t knock me Cause that’s just the way it should be so Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you I said we just have to rise Above all this hatred and destruction, Cause music wasn’t made for competition No it was made from a beautiful mind state to cultivate life and send a message of love I can understand how it comes to be the industry is trying to control you and me We will not give into their games No there ain’t no way we will play, so... Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you It’s not what it should come to Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you Cause we can do better I won’t knock you if you don’t knock me Cause that’s just the way it should be so Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you I said we just have to rise Step into the fire I found my resolve I lost my mind it was a desolate fall In the end I knew I'd find Just what it takes in this life Sticks and stones may break my bones But these words can hurt me Well, see me thru the lies and I hope eventually you'll see Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you It’s not what it should come to Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you Cause we can do better I won’t knock you if you don’t knock me Cause that’s just the way it should be so Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you I said we just have to rise Well, my mama once told me If you've got nothing nice to say Don't say it at all Don't say it at all Don't say it at all Don't say it at all Don't say it at all Don't say it at all Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you It’s not what it should come to Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you Cause we can do better I won’t knock you if you don’t knock me Cause that’s just the way it should be so Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you I said we just have to rise

THE WEIGHT OF LIFE The weight of this life is crashing all around me The weight of the walls, crumbling down The weight of the world is crashing on my shoulders Look up to the sky and wondering why The weight of the night, cascading into darkness The way that the day washes away The weight of the sea as it crashes on the shoreline and moves with the waves each and every day The weight of this life, as it all comes crashing down on me The weight of this life comes twisting and turning around again The weight of this life, can be too much on my own two feet Get at it again, I’m finally whole, I’m finally whole The weight of this life and all that I can process The weight of the sun shining away The sound of the trees blowing on the hillside Awakens my mind, to all that’s inside The weight of the day moving into darkness The way that the night sends tingles inside I’m trying to find the issue and the road blocks Been holding me back for all of my life The weight of this life, as it all comes crashing down on me The weight of this life comes twisting and turning around again The weight of this life, can be too much on my own two feet Get at it again, I’m finally whole, I’m finally whole Yeah The weight of this life, as it all comes crashing down on me The weight of this life comes twisting and turning around again The weight of this life, can be too much on my own two feet Get at it again, I’m finally whole, I’m finally whole I'm finally whole, I'm finally whole, I'm finally whole Yeah

BABYLON IS BURNING Looking back on where the year has gone And how these things have come to be And how the world is being overcome With all this darkened energy Hatred spreads like a disease too It overwhelms my soul and mind I wish we’d all overcome with the spirit of what it takes to heal the times Babylon is burning Babylon is burning The fire's flowing down the slopes tonight And from our veins and to the ground A flickered flame burning up to the night sky And watch as the world is burning down Babylon is burning Babylon is burning Babylon is burning Babylon is burning Burning
