Finally Woke
04:35

Chorus:
When I finally woke the world was a different place
When I finally woke with the strength to open both eyes
When I finally woke, the truth right in front of me
I knew I would never be the same again
Verse:
Well I woke up in my mind, trip and fell inside
High above the chaos in life, well I cast the fear aside
The path confusing but this love keeps me moving
Everytime I doubt myself, everytime I cut my health,
Everytime I push myself away little further from who I’m meant to be
I’m losing this battle we pursuing
In time man I find the blessings always shine
So if you’re blind through all the darkness in your mind
Smell the roses and go cruising down the road of your choosing
Pre-Chorus:
That is how we roll, conscious thinking while you grow
Plant the water in your soul, open to the flow oh
Chorus:
Verse 2:
Woke up in my life as in a tragedy, everyone looked around and laughed at me
The devil in my back could be attackin’ me, steady on my neck he wouldn’t let me breath
Got a make a change like actually, all this blessed things started happening
My boys, the label, fam, thank god they all just started backing me
Cuz I create change bleed happiness, I found myself, love myself and I was passionate
I’m not no pacifist, you can watch me pass a fist
I’ll stand toe to toe and then I’ll take some massive hits
Boy that’s where the balance is I’ll strategize and balance it
I’ll analyze analysis, achieve become the alchemist
Yes, that’s what the outcome is for now we’re on the journey
All that negativity they speak will never hurt me I stay woke

Where I'm At
04:15
|
|||
Verse 1:
I’m rockin’ flows in different area codes
Man in case you didn’t know, that’s where I’m at
An open mind, enlighten, express the vibe
If my words hit right dig where I’m at
Fear not of wasting my time, feels like I’m doing it right
Stay present that’s where I’m at
We’re all a part of the plan doing the best that can
Move forward, that’s where I’m at
Chorus:
Where I’m at today will never be the same, not at all
So let me run free wherever I may be coming ‘round
Verse 2:
I’m in the booth like catholics who tell the truth
Super man without a suit that’s where I’m at
Stay on the road, different city, different show
Keep it running like a nose that’s where I’m at
Got two sisters, both calling me mister
We dance to the rhythm of the where I’m at
We stay crisp, she shake, drop and dip
Its steak sauce with grits baby where I’m at
I rock a pen and a pad, pass the mic and its rad
Go tell your dad that’s where I’m at
We on the scene, the Height, that is my team
They callin’ me Coco Bean where I’m at
Ya never know where the path gwan go
Keep it irie man a know that’s where I’m at
I speak the truth, those lies will never do
Put fam before the loot where I’m at
Verse 3:
One, two, play me a song
I need three part harmony to sing along
A four chord progression, five string bass guitar
Six wheels mobbin’ on down the road
Seven more days and eleven shows
Eight nine ten yeah the jams are phat
Got reggae, rock, hip-hop, where you at?

Hammer Drop
04:55
|
|||
Verse 1:
The man upstairs is testing me
All planned out and he tossed the key
Facing doubt, doubt let me be
But you won’t find that fear in me, no fear me
I do believe it's time to come to peace
Take what mine and turn the key
Back on the grind I’m a hit the street
Roots run deep put em on the beat
Back on the beat, never the loose the beat
What’s goin’ on in my city when the ones I count on turn on me?
What’s the deal, how should I feel?
Look your brother in the eye and he can’t be real
Chorus:
I work hard and the hammer drop
Need a little bit a luck and a little bit of grace
And a lot more faith in my destiny
I work hard and the hammer drop
Got a little bit of truth and bit more soul
Got a fire in my heart burning out of control
The hammer drop on me
Verse 2:
I work my fingers to the bone, I just try to play these shows
Goin’ 80 down the road then my tire popped
Promised myself long ago that I’d always reach my goals
And I’ll give it everything I got
Now 25 playing ball with my best friend, that night watched the Colorado sun set
I looked you in your eyes, you spoke your last breath
Good bye is not forever you will always be remembered
As a kid I looked up to my dad but I remember hard times, the temper he had
He let the hammer drop, the whole family stopped
You wouldn’t understand that reference if I started from the top
I asked the man upstairs will it ever stop?
He said probably not and I said okay
I’m a walk a rocky road and go my own way, yeah I said ole to all the BS
I’m praying out to rabbis, buddhas, now I’m screamin’ Jesus
Take these broken pieces cuz I’m bleedin’ and I think I need you cuz I
I work hard try to drop the hammer
They get caught up in fame and glamour
My lead singer likes to rock bandana
In the van and he eat banana
I work hard through them dog days nights
We up late trying to get it right
See they talk shit but they don’t fight
They lack backbone but rich in spite
Well I work hard trying to get this on girl
I smoke my shit and I sing my song girl
But this time I gotta hit the shed
Playing shows and we stacking bread
Hit the road travel coast to coast
We play these shows and we do the most
The hammer drops and I take a toast
I said down with the bullshit then the hammer drop

Fear Not of the Vulture
04:51
|
|||
Chorus:
When the wicked boy come, fear not of the vulture
When your light shine bright, them weak and them ill of culture
Say them love you like a brotha but them actions like a stranger
Nine times out of ten the wind make ‘em tumble over
While they play mind games, wise man in the shade
The fool a blame and lie, wise man pay no mind
Watch the wicked boy stand up tall, don’t know why he falls
You gotta love yourself, break down the walls, that’s all
Verse 1:
I be the eye of the storm, the lyrics keeping me warm
Wanna light the fire, stir the pot, boil it hot
The people numb and they cold, everyday the youth growin’ old
Man what it gonna take fi revolutionize?
I and I spread the vibe, never let the darkness conquer light
I and I na wastin’ time
Me stay forever present, respentin’
Verse 2:
With another turn of the page I feel my coming of age
Try fi navigate the modern day
I see the gap get wide with an economic divide
And the money talks in mysterious ways

Verse 1:
Sunrise and the freeway calling my name but it ain’t the same
I been carrying a broken heart all over the country
I wanna know what’s going on with you, how’s your day?
I wanna know if there’s something more between you and me
Pre-Chorus:
Is it all about to about to change?
I’m all about seeing this through, darling you & me
Verse 2:
The timing is tragic, I should be with you back home
You know I’d give anything just to have time with you alone
I heard you been with another man, been driving me insane
I heard your words but I’m not sure what to make of all this pain
Chorus:
In this crazy game of love look out for your heart and don’t give up
Go on and take the time to look inside first love yourself then if it feels right
Go lay your cards down, I’ve got to lay my cards down and hope that you come around
Verse 3:
The sun sets, I think about good times that we had
Even if you walk away I’m so glad they happened
Time will tell what’s meant to be between you and me
I love you so but I’ll let you go if it makes you happy
Is it all about to about to change?
I’m all about being straight up with you girl, c’mon talk to me

Ups and Downs
04:43
|
|||
Verse 1:
Can I walk slow with the flow
When I’m pickin’ up all these lessons every time I fall?
It’s a new day, I don’t feel the same
And I want to proclaim a new way
That I get down with that feeling when I
Need to rise above
The day to day is tearing away from my truest love
Music hey don’t you run away cause I am here to stay
Through trials and them tribulations
Pre-Chorus:
We live with big ambition, drive and avoid collision
Strengthen then break the tension
Bite kick claw gonna break this, I work all day
You cannot keep whats missing
You cannot choose your difference
Me I’m gonna keep on kickin’
Bite kick claw gonna break this, I work all day
Chorus:
The ups and downs
Verse 2:
Wait, I could use some time
To pick up the pieces, all of the burdens of life
Gotta grow, gotta rock the boat, gotta
Shake it up and roll with the changes that will unfold
You know the skies look clear ahead
But danger at my door and underneath my bed
Never know, tide is high or low
Music, keep me afloat through trials & them tribulations
