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

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

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
