Lookin’ For A Love
Looking for a love that’s gone away
Thinking of the things to make her stay
But I never listened to what she had to say
Looking for a love that’s gone away
If I don’t find her anyway
I’m always looking for a better day
When I first saw her walking by the sea
I remember how she got to me
Was she just a summer love?
Or maybe something from above
Like the water flows away so free
Somehow that girl slipped away from me
As days go by it’s getting hard to remember
Was it June? Or late September?
I guess the time don’t really matter
I just think of the times that I had her
Walking on the sand
She’d run to me and grab my hand
So here I go on another ride that spins
Another race I can’t win
Gather up what’s left of me
I guess that’s how it’s supposed to be
Looking for a love that’s gone away
Thinking of the things to make her stay
But I never listened to what she had to say
Looking for a love that’s gone away
If I don’t find her anyway
I’m always looking for a better day
Two ships pass in the night
Maybe she won’t, maybe she might
Maybe she will if you tell her to
She just need a little persuading on what to do
We be conversating, procrastinating
‘Cause I don’t know why the hell we’re still waiting
She be acting like I should be waiting in line
And yeah I got a clock girl but I aint got the time
It’s summertime with the sunshine coming through
I got a reservation for a party of two
I had a love but it came and went
I guess I just didn’t take the hint
If you don’t make the move someone else willing to
She got me caught up in a Twenty Two
When I showed up it was just too late
She said her love could no longer wait
Looking for a love that’s gone away
Thinking of the things to make her stay
But I never listened to what she had to say
Looking for a love that’s gone away
If I don’t find her anyway
I’m always looking for a better day
Long summer days no end in sight
When it came to having fun we did it right
But like all good things that come to an end
I just want to do it over again
Didn’t take time to stick out
I have no doubt what it’s about
She said it was just a summer fling
It was never supposed to mean anything
Those hot summer nights have come and gone
I think we both did each other wrong
I can’t think of anything more to say
Did we have something good and throw it away
I only think about you in this song
My memories of you are not too long
Maybe we’ll meet another day
Another starlit night on a moonlit bay
Looking for a love that’s gone away
Thinking of the things to make her stay
But I never listened to what she had to say
Looking for a love that’s gone away
If I don’t find her anyway
I’m always looking for a better day

Daylight Comes Too Fast

Daylight Comes Too Fast
Long nights you been here before
No need to guess you know what’s in store
Young girl first time on your own
Not a friend to call now you’re all alone
Looking lost trying not to be found
Sleep outside you’ll find hard ground
Pulls up the pillow close to her face
Another tomorrow, another chase
She’s the one with the short dress on
Make a man sell everything that he own
She got all the skills she needs
To make a man want a beg and plead
High heels long brown hair
The lack of clothes makes them all stare
Dressed to kill out for the night
Standing on the corner by the street light
Running down a one way street gets you nowhere (nowhere)
It gets you nowhere (nowhere)
Daylight comes too fast (too fast)
Running down a one way street gets you nowhere (nowhere)
It gets you nowhere (nowhere)
Daylight comes too fast (too fast)
Now the long night turned into an early morning
The sun’s coming up still not yawning
She said I got nowhere to go
But if you find it would you let me know
Living on stress and cigarettes
A life of risk and no regrets
Now she’s turning, turning, turning in a spin
Going places that you never want to go again
She said that she was going start living good
You said you will but you won’t like I knew you would
No bed frame she refrains from sleep
Her dreams keep her awake from the fears she keeps
So forget about the past, nothing everlast
Everyone’s an actor just one of the cast
Playing out their part, doing what you can
You know there aint no mercy on this land
Running down a one way street gets you nowhere (nowhere)
It gets you nowhere (nowhere)
Daylight comes too fast (too fast)
Running down a one way street gets you nowhere (nowhere)
It gets you nowhere (nowhere)
Daylight comes too fast (too fast)
Nowhere (nowhere)
Nowhere (nowhere)
Nowhere (nowhere)
It gets you nowhere (nowhere)

Evangeline

Evangeline
Evangeline was just sixteen
When she had her baby girl
She may never be a beauty queen
But she’ll always be my pearl
Down at the end of an endless road
Is where she stayed
She always did just what she’s told
Gave up the plans she made
What is justice if it’s always blind
It must be the reason when it can’t seem to find
Any evidence at the scene
When dirty hands get off clean
The guiltiness rests on their head
While the innocent pays for it all instead
The drama that you bring all it seems to breed
Is hatred, envy, jealousy and greed.
I feel it when it comes, I need it when it goes
It always comes back around too slow
I feel it when it comes, I need it when it goes
It always comes back around too slow
Too slow, too slow, too slow
Too slow, too slow, too slow
I feel it when it comes, I need it when it goes
It always comes back around too slow
When the moonlit every piece of the ground
Evangeline thought of a way to leave town
She grabbed the kid, a bag full of clothes
Headed down the road, no place to go
Stayed overnight a rundown motel
Little sleep from the next room’s yells
Gunshots rang out in the air
No one hit a bad aim or to scare
So she checked out like she done times before
Face the world on the other side of the door
Got to do whatever it takes
To make sure that they get all the breaks
Got to get out never look back again
Do what you got to do, hope it aint a sin
Been running so long you forgot why you ran
Hope you don’t end up where it all began
I feel it when it comes, I need it when it goes
It always comes back around too slow
I feel it when it comes, I need it when it goes
It always comes back around too slow
Too slow, too slow, too slow
Too slow, too slow, too slow
I feel it when it comes, I need it when it goes
It always comes back around too slow

Whatcha Gonna Do

Whatcha Gonna Do
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do when it’s all over
Whatcha gonna do when were just friends
Things won’t get along any easier
When every time you feel it’s the end
Everybody knows its reality
Even if you feel your heart will break
No matter how bad you feel right now
There’s always much more that you can take
007 couldn’t do it any better
Hiding your feelings as you play the game
One of these days someone’s gonna catch you
Nothing in your life will be the same
Whatcha gonna do when it’s all over (Whatcha gonna do)
Hiding your feelings as you play the game
Nothing in your life will be the same
Whatcha gonna do when it’s all over (Whatcha gonna do)
Hiding your feelings as you play the game
Nothing in your life will be the same
Whatcha gonna do when you fall again
Whatcha gonna do with your heart
Take a deep breath, here we go again
Might as well make a new start
Cause life doesn’t come with any guarantees
We’re nothing if we don’t take a chance
Pick you a partner when the band plays
You just might have a lifelong dance
007 couldn’t do it any better
Hiding your feelings as you play the game
One of these days someone’s gonna catch you
Nothing in your life will be the same
Whatcha gonna do when it’s all over (Whatcha gonna do)
Hiding your feelings as you play the game
Nothing in your life will be the same
Whatcha gonna do when it’s all over (Whatcha gonna do)
Hiding your feelings as you play the game
Nothing in your life will be the same
Whatcha gonna do when it’s you against the world
Everything you do is an obstacle to hurdle
Whatcha gonna do take the veil off your eyes
Realize everything that’s been disguised
They say time heals all, it all don’t last
I hate it that I’m jaded when she brings up the past
You gotta guess cause I keep my cards close to chest
No I won’t tell my secrets where I lay they rest
007 couldn’t do it any better
Hiding your feelings as you play the game
One of these days someone’s gonna catch you
Nothing in your life will be the same

Miles and Miles
Got up off the barstool headed out the door
Jumped up in my car put the pedal to the floor
Just enough liquor to make it easier to bear
I don’t know where I’m going but I’m headed there
Just another night kinda like all the rest
Got up on stage tried to give it my best
Showed ‘em what I got hoping that they cared
I don’t know where I’m going but I’m headed there
Stop, look around see where the weather blows
Where it’s headed is probably where I’m going go
I’ve made up my mind and now I want to know
How long will I have to wait for you to show
Two souls passing in the night
The chance is gone it’s just not right
I never make the move but then again I might
I can’t see the stars at night cause the lights are bright
Miles and miles (Miles and miles)
Highway lights gonna make you blind
All those miles gonna numb your mind
Miles and miles (Miles and miles)
Highway lights gonna make you blind
All those miles gonna numb your mind
Two days since your still on my mind
About the girl I never met and may never find
I saw you today you stood out in the crowd
I tried to holler for you but the crowd was too loud
Each passing day you do what you must
Watch what you say who do you trust
The feelings that you tried to chase hoping they cared
I don’t know where I’m going but I’m headed there
Days are too short, nights are too long
Lonely you wonder just what went wrong
The fear of the future grips at your chest
Will you ever be home or always a guest
Ghost in the shadows that close on the heart
Become a memory then torn apart
Sorrow is heavy a cross that he bears
Still hoping somewhere there’s someone who cares
Miles and miles (Miles and miles)
Highway lights gonna make you blind
All those miles gonna numb your mind
Miles and miles (Miles and miles)
Highway lights gonna make you blind
All those miles gonna numb your mind
Miles and miles, miles and miles
Miles and miles, miles and miles (Miles and miles)
Highway lights gonna make you blind
All those miles gonna numb your mind
Highway lights gonna make you blind
All those miles gonna numb your mind
Miles and miles, miles and miles (Miles and miles)

Trials and Tribulations
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
Going through trials and tribulations
Always seeking jubilations
Elations, frustrations
What you need to do is practice some patience
When you say nothing every seems to change
Stop your life and try to rearrange
Find all the players put ‘em in their place
Move ‘em on the board into the next space
And just count all your steps ahead
Watch it unfold before it’s said
And you hope they get the message you send
Before you finally reach the end
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
Take a picture and remember the way we were
‘Cause this night’s gonna end up in a blur
My only competition I see is in the mirror
If I could only get my life to be a little clearer
What I’m hearing is a voice inside my ear
Telling me to leave the past behind in the rear
But I can’t help looking over my shoulder
And thinking of the things that I could have told her
I turn back around and I face the future
You’re a wildflower aint no one can ever root you
365 times the world’s spun
And I’m still trying to unravel all the damage that you’ve done
You gotta me on the outside looking in
I’m on the road next week I’ll be home again
What is life without risk, what is life without living?
What is life if you don’t use everything that you’re given
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
What’s that creeping up behind you
Always there to remind you
To remind you of the things you’ll never see again
And all the things you want to be but couldn’t see until the end
Just me and you looking through a smoky haze
Just me and you going through a lonely day
Just me and you trying to make things last
Now you wound up in my past, funny how it went so fast
Now you’re running never at a slower speed
Grabbing all the things that you think you need
And you wonder which turn you made was wrong
Aint it funny how it didn’t last so long
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
If you hate it fold your arms
If you love it clap your hands
If you hate it fold your arms
If you love it clap your hands
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
If you hate it fold your arms
If you love it clap your hands
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan

Color My Dreams

Color My Dreams
Close my eyes it takes me to the places that I go
Some I have never seen others I been there before
A daydreamer just looking for the night
That’s the only time I see ‘em they’re allergic to the light
Its dark I can’t see what’s in front of me
Or behind cause a feeling came up suddenly
So I let it go, I let it be
Gather up all the things that are close to me
Every day I wake up with a new face
In a new place with some steps to retrace
Relive all my struggles and strife
When I go to sleep I lead a double life
Nothing is real, nothing ever seems the same
Do I have the chance to even try to make it change
What do you see when you color my dreams?
What is revealed aint nothing like it seems
It aint nothing like it seems
It aint nothing like it seems
It aint nothing like it seems
When you color my dreams
Colors of the schemes come to paint my dreams
What is revealed aint nothing like it seems
Spent my whole life trying to be what I dream
Trying to keep it all sowed up at the seems
Still I wake up wondering what it all means
Go back to sleep and create another scene
Feed their egos to serve your needs
‘Cause the ends justify all the means
Deception, manipulation of the mind
Distorted perceptions make blurred lines
What you see just depends on what you focus
It’s so near yet you can’t perceive its closeness
When your illusions are shattered
And your heart is splattered
Against the walls of deceit
Will you begin to retreat?
What do you see when you color my dreams?
What is revealed aint nothing like it seems
It aint nothing like it seems
It aint nothing like it seems
It aint nothing like it seems
When you color my dreams

Willow Weeps

Willow Weeps
The willow weeps
The secrets that you keep
And you can catch all of my dreams
Every time I fall fast asleep (x2)
Born in a land I can’t call my own
A place where my forefathers roamed
Land of the free, home of the brave
Now all I see are forgotten graves
They took our spirits changed our name
To try to make us all look the same
Pledge allegiance to Uncle Sam
But you’ll never change who I am
The willow weeps
The secrets that you keep
And you can catch all of my dreams
Every time I fall fast asleep (x2)
While we were trying to be the same
Everything around us changed
I’m the one that’s from here
Why they looking at me strange
Move us from our home to a foreign land
Then they cut us down every time that we ran
But if running was the thing to do
Where would we run to?
Under the blare of a bugle’s horn
They came and burned the corn
With a bible in one hand
A gun in the other
They stole my sister
And killed my brother
The willow weeps
The secrets that you keep
And you can catch all of my dreams
Every time I fall fast asleep (x2)
Left, right, left
I am a soldier
Where my soldiers at?
Left, right, left
I am a soldier
Where my soldiers at?
The streams you drank from we can no longer drink
The thoughts I thought before I can no longer think
And every time I take another breath
I wonder how many breaths that I’m gonna have left
The wind whispers as the willow weeps
There’s a secret out there that we cannot keep
We got our pride and that’s something we can’t hide
They say don’t show what you know on the outside
The willow weeps
The secrets that you keep
And you can catch all of my dreams
Every time I fall fast asleep (x2)
Left, right, left
I am a soldier
Where my soldiers at?
Left, right, left
I am a soldier
Where my soldiers at?

Too Hot To Handle

Too Hot To Handle
Got me sitting up another night drinking
Cause my life’s moving faster than I was thinking
As I travel on this road to glory
Every scar I have tells its own story
And if I seem a little frantic
It’s only cause I’m in a panic
And everything seems so hard I can’t stand it
I didn’t plan it to work out this way
So be careful just what you say
If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop
Cause the feeling that I got just won’t stop
And it won’t stop, and it won’t stop
‘Til we’re sitting on the top
If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop
If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop
If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop
Drop, drop, drop, drop
Got me sitting on the bubble
Hoping that it don’t pop
Troubles double
And I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop
When I got to the well it always come up dry
Time and again no matter how hard I try
And I wish I could fly away from it all
But I can’t now that I heard the call
So I keep it moving in a positive flow
Cause you always reap just what you sow
If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop
Cause the feeling that I got just won’t stop
And it won’t stop, and it won’t stop
‘Til we’re sitting on the top
If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop
If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop
If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop
Drop, drop, drop, drop
Climbing to the top hoping that I don’t drop
And I won’t stop and I won’t stop
I couldn’t spell quit if you gave me all four letters
Everyone thinks they can but they can’t do it better
And I don’t know if it’s just because the moon moves the ocean
And I’m in between the middle and I can’t control the motion
How can I control it? All I control is my own
Continue seeking out all the truths that are unknown
I’m in my zone
If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop
Cause the feeling that I got just won’t stop
And it won’t stop, and it won’t stop
‘Til we’re sitting on the top
If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop
Cause the feeling that I got just won’t stop
And it won’t stop, and it won’t stop
‘Til we’re sitting on the top

Light It Up

Light It Up
I wake up thankful for the day
Know it’s gonna be okay
This urge I won’t have to curb
Cause I always got the herb
And all I got to do is light it
This feeling don’t fight it
And all I got to do
Is let it come over invite it (x2)
When the dreadlocks gather around
They bring that reggae sound
When the dreadlocks are near
That riddims all you hear
Just let the music play
Let the sound go and take you away
This is all provided by the R.I.S.K.
Roll it up with the best
Pass it on to the left
Flick my bic spark a flame
If you got one do the same
Kush is my cologne jones
Kush is my cologne
First thing in the morning
Last thing at night, I put it on
On the island I met a Jamaican
He called me over some plans we were making
He said meet me in the back of the shed
I got something here for your head
He brought me weed and he called it Blue Mountain
Or so Andy Cap told me so
He said a man done pick it by a fountain
Upon a hill where it loves to grow
I wake up thankful for the day
Know it’s gonna be okay
This urge I won’t have to curb
Cause I always got the herb
And all I got to do is light it
This feeling don’t fight it
And all I got to do
Is let it come over invite it (x2)
Flick my bic that’s my lighter
Till the flame gets higher
Till the flame ignites sets it all on fire
When it all goes up sets the forest ablaze
Tthese smoke filled rooms
Will leave ‘em sitting in a daze
If you say you cannot feel it
Then you must not be hitting it right
Cause what I’m packing here
Will take you up to new heights
If you’re up on it and you want to fly
Then don’t let it pass you by
Cause it’s coming back around for another try
Chilling at a place where lighters go missing
Blunts are rolled with expert precision
I got so much grass you would think I need to mow
I just set it on fire then I breath it in slow
Then blow out the smoke
I jump on the mic you don’t hear me choke
Negativity can’t attract to positive vibes
Chief kief I be chiefing like I run the tribe
I wake up thankful for the day
Know it’s gonna be okay
This urge I won’t have to curb
Cause I always got the herb
And all I got to do is light it
This feeling don’t fight it
And all I got to do
Is let it come over invite it (x2)
Then I light it all up
