Crazy 03:07
I'm goin crazy, help me See I don't know exactly what it could be All I know is that I never seem to agree With mankind, that's why I'm sending out this plea You know I lost my mind But, then again, Is it a sin To overstand The will of man It comforts me To disagree Reality, distorts my sanity I'm goin crazy, I know I'll tell ya'll why, because my baby told me so And that's no lie, she said my blues was bringin her down And it's all on me for me to be hangin around You know it hurt me so But, then again, Is it a sin To overstand The will of man It comforts me To disagree Reality, distorts my sanity I'm goin crazy, and I know So I guess it's time for me to finally let ya'll know That I've lost my mind and the only way it can be found Is til no end come back and bring that Sun-Dried sound You know we lost our minds But, then again, Is it a sin To overstand The will of man It comforts me To disagree Reality, distorts my sanity

Trouble 03:55
I see the trouble now I feel them creepin' around They hear that sweet, sweet sound And I think we're in trouble now I watch them move through the night They know just what I like So I make them pillow bite She'll make me feel alright I love to move those hips She loves when I lick those lips Electric fingertips Come on girl that's the shit I see the trouble now I feel them creepin' around They hear that sweet, sweet sound And I think we're in trouble now She comes through my back door She knows what's next in store And I know I'm packing more And I'm thinkin' she's no whore We're movin side to side She grips it tight to ride And I'm sinkin back inside She'll make me feel alright I see the trouble now I feel them creepin' around They hear that sweet, sweet sound And I think we're in trouble now

Next Year 04:11
I'm sleeping with your shadow and silhouette Tracing down the lines back to every regret I watch it burn away like a cigarette Ash into the sunset, These feelings never forget Pretensions building fast like an unpaid debt You're searching for an answer you'll never collect It leaves me feeling broken to know you're upset These tears are getting me wet, This isn't over yet But when I'm movin' forward you're stealing my time Thinking like a thief, you just take what you find I'll tell you what I'm doing, I leave this behind Listen up baby, I'm not changing my mind Cause ever since you left I've been living in fear And I lost everything that I held dear So I don't wanna be anywhere near here By this time next year, By this time next year. The sound of your silence is holding me down When I'm in your presence, you push me around The answer to your question is what I have found So you're stealing my sound, My doubt is profound Your hostage holding tactics are always the same You're looking for someone else to place the blame And I won't bite my tongue because I can't refrain These feelings remain, And I'm feeling the pain But when I'm movin' forward you're stealing my time Thinking like a thief, you just take what you find I'll tell you what I'm doing, I leave this behind Listen up baby, I'm not changing my mind Cause ever since you left I've been living in fear And I lost everything that I held dear So I don't wanna be anywhere near here By this time next year, By this time next year.

Let Go 03:49
I don't know but it's been said You can't find love in the books that you've read Or the tapes that you play, you sing to yourself Or the old shoebox that you keep on the shelf With the notes that he wrote, a few years ago Or the rocks that he throws outside your window You say when you find him, oh how you'll know You'll hold him real tight and you won't let him go Baby you don't have to let go I'll say it again now Baby you don't have to let go Baby you don't have to let go I've been trying to tell you Baby you don't have to let go I don't know but when I grow old I wanna have someone that I can hold And be close to at night, Say it's alright But I read all those books and I took a few looks On how to find love in the notes that I took Now that I've found her oh how I know I'll hold her real tight and I won't let her go Baby you don't have to let go I'll say it again now Baby you don't have to let go Baby you don't have to let go I've been trying to tell you Baby you don't have to let go Because you're mine Baby I'll cross the line Keep grippin you tight Darlin' all through the night Just so you'll know Baby I won't let you go Just so you'll know Babe I won't let you Baby you don't have to let go I'll say it again now Baby you don't have to let go Baby you don't have to let go I've been trying to tell you Baby you don't have to let go

Being positive is the only way to live You reap what you sow and you get what you give So spread it all around Feel the movement with the sound And see this ONE LOVE NATION Come rising from the ground It won't always be the same, We can evolve through change It won't always be the same, no. It won't always be the same, We can evolve through change It won't always be the same, no. The positive vibe is the reason I'm alive And with every breath of air you know I'm dying to strive To shed some light upon the man, Let them know I overstand And maybe they will realize that we are part of a plan It won't always be the same, We can evolve through change It won't always be the same, no. It won't always be the same, We can evolve through change It won't always be the same, no. Acknowledging the might of the rhyme You know I decide to do something positive with my time Elevate my mind, Staying steady on this grind Cause the positive light is what I'm trying to shine I heat it up hotter than the sun You know the fun has just begun And these kids is on the run So I twist it up and I pass to the left I'm spreading positive vibes with every single breath Make it my mission, Resort to intuition Positivity here, that is my only single mission So no more wishin', Time to make you feel inspired Just know the positive vibe's the only thing required. It won't always be the same, We can evolve through change It won't always be the same, no. It won't always be the same, We can evolve through change It won't always be the same, no.

W.I.L.T. 04:05
Let me tell you what it's like to feel Sun-Dried Whoa, Whoa (x4) With a positive mind you let your bright light shine Three minds intertwined but one of a kind We roll the ganja in spliffs To dismiss all these feelings that we have of remiss Cuase it's a family affair No we don't care, roll it up Put two in the air We take it day by day No we never struggle when we're finding the words to say Let me tell you what it's like to feel Sun-Dried Whoa, Whoa (x4) With the purest of hearts I know it right from the start Nothing here is seen as a question mark To win you over one at a time I play that sweet music, it makes everything feel so fine So let's burn one down I can feel the positive vibration from miles around Put your hands to the sky Let go of your worries, get yourself so high Let me tell you what it's like to feel Sun-Dried Whoa, Whoa (x4)

Well I've got no time to be a worryin' man I've got to fulfill my master plan I take it out one city a time I ease my troubled mind I pass my time Recite another melody in rhyme I feel that reggae, that rhythm, that music So I can't dispute it I will not refute it I'll take the idea, I'm down to amuse it I just want ya'll to see it like me today I'm not sweatin this, I'm not sweatin this no more Sweatin' this I'm not sweatin' this no more Cause I know there's something better left in store So I'm not sweatin this, I'm not sweatin this no more The bill collector, now he knocks on my door I say, Son, Man I really ain't got no more I'm gonna have to get ya back next week. But I'm still on my feet, Pressin' along I've got this funny feelin' I'm gonna be feelin' strong And I'm gonna keep my head high in the clouds My voice rings loud, My chest sticks out proud I've got this funny feelin' I've found a brand new sound And I just want ya'll to sing it with me today I'm not sweatin this, I'm not sweatin this no more Sweatin' this I'm not sweatin' this no more Cause I know there's something better left in store So I'm not sweatin this, I'm not sweatin this no more So the 9 to 5 has got me feelin' the struggle Got a feelin' I'm gonna have to flex these muscles Seems these days its all about your hustle But I keep movin' on with my eyes on the prize Turn around to find a brand new surprise Sunny weather sittin' in my skies I'm not sweatin this, I'm not sweatin this no more Sweatin' this I'm not sweatin' this no more Cause I know there's something better left in store So I'm not sweatin this, I'm not sweatin this no more

Revolution 04:04
For forty days, yeah for forty nights I've been searchin' for somethin right But as the dark steals the light I'm consumed by the ever pressing fright of the sight Of this world spinning out of control Nothing we can do here but just let go Of doubts and inhibitions Modern day superstitions, Ya'll got to be livin You got to be livin, Got to feel drivin' You got to be you. It's just begun Don't turn and run The revolution has just begun Don't turn and run, no Don't turn and run The revolution, it has only begun Don't turn and run We must fight as one In this revolution. For forty days, yeah for forty nights I'm still searchin' for somethin right But as the dark steals the light My mind won't let me turn and fight What I know I might Be losing if I don't trust And if I keep standing in this rain I'm bound to rust But with the heart of a lion I keep moving west, headed straight for Mount Zion I'm movin along, I'm keepin it strong I'm movin alone. It's just begun Don't turn and run The revolution has just begun Don't turn and run, no Don't turn and run The revolution, it has only begun Don't turn and run We must fight as one In this revolution.

Selfish One 04:18
One by one and two by two Will you do it for us Or do it for you? But when you set it aside Its so easy to see your selfish pride We could pull it together Come back to be twice as clever But you're only reply Is plainly deny and we all know why Cause you only think about yourself (That's why they call you the selfish one) Cause you only think about yourself (That's why they call you the selfish one) You'll wait around for no one else (That's why they call you the selfish one) Cause you only think about yourself I'm comin' back, lets put it in check I think it's time to resurrect Your lack of self respect But it's so easy for me to not know what to expect So let's take it the same We can come back and change the game But it, it won't ever remain Your arrogance won't refrain so it explains Cause you only think about yourself (That's why they call you the selfish one) Cause you only think about yourself (That's why they call you the selfish one) You'll wait around for no one else (That's why they call you the selfish one) Cause you only think about yourself
14.
It's all in how you look at it, you know A situation rise and then they go Patience is a virtue, you must roll slow Even if the tide is rising from below Relax, a deep breath And put your soul at ease for a little bit of rest as we try To slide the harmony through the stress Survival of the fittest lasts in this conquest The irony is ringing, will you answer the call? Your arms are flailing, frantic like a wrecking ball Pressure pushing, moving, You must stand tall Even if your back is against the wall It's all in how you look at it, you know Determination drives you to go on with the show And getting back up leaves you room to grow Steady like a river beds continual flow Tired of feeling like I don't belong I keep the faith and then the feeling won't last too long I'm trying to change the world through a song To keep your soul inspired, Hold on just stay strong The irony is ringing, will you answer the call? Your arms are flailing, frantic like a wrecking ball Pressure pushing, moving, You must stand tall Even if your back is against the wall
