On the Road

We just want to see the world
so now were this traveling tribe
no need for a job
when you have a few songs
and the power to make people smile
traded my dream job for a dream life
now its greater than great and we decided to stay
on the road
no cash the cars our home
springs we'll bathe
streets we'll play
the melody and rhythm will guide us
i can't believe oh what an eyeful
these memories i'll take
straight to the grave
even find some people to share who care
we must see for ourselves
that money isn't wealth
it's just your happiness and health that make your sadness melt
and you won't believe
where we've been or what we've seen
and i hope you too will take a trip
one that you will never forget
and you'll remember why you love your life
as you drift away into paradise

Pick Me Up

Nahko pick me up
in your pick up truck
i'm waiting on the side of the road
and i'm stuck
i'll get there when i get there
time will tell were ready to bail
dive right into the ocean swell
feel the real freedom yall
no thinking just thanking
and i will plant these holy seeds and make all
the water fall
watch em grow tall
feed the people
once and for all
tell the youth about the truth
evacuate those office booths
start growing your own food
collecting clean water too
several simple steps to make a living proof of you
its perfect
you're worth it
and now i see you in the moment
stay focused you own it
steadfast the doors are open
tell me which one to go through?
well which way feels best to you?
no resistance walk on through
no matter how you make your move
just take that conscious clue
and be glad with what you choose to do

Ship Called Life
02:40
|
|||
|
do you know what i was thinking?
this ship called life is sinking
all we gotta do is pick up the pieces
come together and forget about weakness
growing you well there is so much to do
that we've got no time to be rude or get confused
just be who you wanna be
tell the truth
start yelling that shit in the street
singing to a melody about peace and harmony
about what love oughta be
about this abundance surrounding me
dirt on my feet plate full to eat
well thats whats driving me

One Deep Breath
02:47
|
|||
|
i am stuck again
in the quick sand
gotta get up from here
how can i get outta here
nothing left to lose
nothing left to fear
gotta get up from here
how can i get outta here?
calm down
get a grip
one deep breath
and you won't trip
just think of lessons that you've learned
and in time your life will turn
around today and you will say
thanks for all the things
you've been through and now you crave
better thoughts a better way
i am stuck again
dangling off this cliff
gotta get up from here
how can i get outta here?
nothing left to lose
theres nothing left to fear
gotta get up from here
gotta get up from here
i find the strength to get outta here

Had to Ask
03:40
|
|||
|
the waters warm
won't you jump in?
is there a harm
from these poisons?
i'm not so sure with that question
if you had to ask pull your head out of your
ask me now if i care?
yes i do and i'm trying to find the strength
and pull it through this guitar and onto you
now what are we gunna do?
whens there no doubt that life without
chemical spouts could rise new sprouts and clouds
and songs aloud
ask me now
can't you see?
if you had to ask pull ur head out of your ass
so i ask you now
can't you see
if we are strong what this could be
not a song of hope but destiny
testing me caressing me
with timeless nights
and painless days
if we can bare
our lives are spared
what would you say if we cared for real moments?
not gain compared?

This Feeling I Get

|
it's just this feeling i get when i play music
unmistakable my soul speaks through it
im just a vessel ship along for the trip
im something special but so is everybody
you must know that always hold close that
feel inspired and let go of the past
you can take it know that you can make it
visions appear with some good determination
i wanna see what can you be what's your destiny
where will we go in alignment with the holy flow?
and i understand
we all must walk our own paths
little brother you can take it
little sister you can make it
find a little inspiration cuz you're an inspiration
its just this feeling i get when i play music
unforgettable i'm down right boosted
cheapest high never leave you dry
its so soothing
i can hardly keep my body from moving
my feelings show that i always gotta know that
you get what you give for that i get my soul back
i'm going all in everything i do i'm all in
surrender to the will, drive, and motivation
feel it, love it, know it, and go
feel it, love it, know it so you go
and i understand i'll be a man
who takes a stand and plays some jams
i wont give up never give in
this existense i'm determined
to make amendments and build a bridge and walk across
to a better land
thats filled with truth
constant surprise
it all has use
so enjoy your time
with waterfalls and butterflies
a green forest and a mountain side
the oceans' deep as my mind is wide
is this a dream? or is it real life?
i shake myself and realize this right here
its no disguise and i feel it i feel it can you feel it?

Don't Wanna Hear It
03:18
|
|||
|
just a boy waiting for his parachute to deploy
into a jungle of bullets waiting to destroy him
oh his chances they look so slim
but he holds his head high and just pretends
that he's in a good book with a good end
and he says in his head, "i've got a country to defend"
but the worst parts not knowing whether or not he's gonna win
dam i wish his future didn't look so dim
i don't wanna hear it
don't wanna stop and fear it
hold your forces let go of your horses
stay on course but be true to your sources
when you take all the kings men
you're in control just don't be the one to think thin
don't be the one again who isn't true within himself
who never lets anyone in and never finds the time to make amends
i've said i don't know
i've said i can't see
and now i sit back and watch as you perceive and believe in me
and all the things i've achieved
and now i'm passed out in the darkness
in a dumpster full of grief hoping
the boasts of mosts will come to you for free
but if the devil has his way well then you're burning underneath my feet

Empower The People

empower the people
lets show em were equal
if the truth is illegal
then its down with these steepels
there won't be a sequel
of earth it's not frequel
a planet this distance away from the sun
has water that's liquid and rivers that run
home
right back to the dojo
these seeds they might like to sow
these trees might like to grow
these leaves might like to blow
through onto you
blow through onto you
shower the people
in love til were equal
if the truth is illegal
then its down with these steepels
there won't be a sequel
of earth it's not frequel
a planet this distance away from the sun
has water that's liquid and rivers that run

Dare to Care
06:23
|
|||
|
thank you for everything you've done for me
thank you for you who believed in me too
now i see why you have room to care
if you don't know why, why don't you dare
just dare to care
thinking about the times yall stood up for me
holding all these promises always keeping up with me
and it never seems to go unseen
all these moments are golden when you row downstream
sometimes it seems like im in a dream
under a rainbow of maximum beauty
so happy this is my reality no falacy go magically
receiving the benefits of this community
all this unity's no longer a mystery
we making history when we learn to live
getting all good thoughts in your head about banning together
despite differences and we make some friends with good times to spend good tunes to jam good rhymes to rim
no testing bogus questions to ask you man
