Careful what you say
Mo’ careful what you do
One these lil ole days
Lawd, it’s coming to back to you
It's high time these low lifes, get on they knees
Is it the cause or effect? Must inspect yo’ disease.
Living, giving all part of the plan
It's your time to show are you a beast or a man please understand, please understand.
Lost dogs! Stay strong!
Your day in the sun!
Has yet to come!
…And you’ve won
Said Papa may have, Mama may have too
But God bless the chile, who shares when he's got two
Brothers, sisters, must stand the line
Shoulder to shoulder we all march in time
One blood, one soul, one race behind the beat
One life, live it or the maker you’ll meet
Living, giving all part of the plan
It's your time to show are you a beast or a man please understand, please understand!
Lost dogs! Stay strong!
Your day in the sun!
And you’ve won - and you’ve won - and you’ve…
Scratchin’ and sniffin’ at poles, when the wind blows
Please let me in to your house from the cold
Genetically colored from different mothers,
Take your hands off of the throat of your brother
Under the skin we’re the same but yet I'm to blame
For putting on your shackles and...Take Them Off Me!
Lost dogs! Stay strong!
Your day in the sun!
And you’ve won - and you’ve won - and you’ve WON!!!

'Fraid to Love You

My head throbs
It beats so fast
When I see you honey bee
It can't be the last
When you walk away
No words can say
What your hips and lips and fingertips have the power to display
I know my tender heart
It beats so hard and true
I'm afraid my baby babe
I got the 'fraid to love you blues
Right down to my shoes!
My eyes shut
My hands they shake
Sun rose through your hair
As we lay by the lake
When you walk away
No words can say
What your hips and lips and fingertips have the power to display
I know my tender heart
It beats so hard and true
I'm afraid my baby babe
I got the 'fraid to love you blues
Right down to my shoes!
Who you Voodoo woman
All dat all I see
She look me in ma eyes
Saying "you gonna take care a me"
When you walk away
With that swish and that sway
Reminds me everyday
No words can say
What your hips and lips and fingertips have the power to display
I know my tender heart, it beats so hard and true
I'm afraid my baby babe
I got the 'fraid to love you blues

Who is he to say that I don't love you?
Who is he to say that I don't care?
Can you see past the lies
Oh how he tries to hypnotize
Who is he to say that I don't love you?
In my boot lay a sawed off shotgun
For his kind it speaks for me twice
Fool you better scram
Cause you don't know just who I am
In my boot lay a sawed of shotgun
He just mad I got there first
Says I'm bad but you know he worse
It's the same ole lines you've heard rehearsed, heard rehearsed, heard rehearsed
Who is he to say that I don't love you?
Who is he to say that I don't need you?
Who is he who says nothing fair?
Can you see past the lies
Oh how he tries to hypnotize
Who is he to say that I don't love you?
Here I come a walkin' from behind him
There he is breathing in your face
Fool you better scram
Cause you don't know just who I am
In my boot lay a sawed of shotgun
He just mad I got there first
Says I'm bad but you know he worse
It's the same ole lines you've heard rehearsed, heard rehearsed, heard rehearsed
Who is he to say that I don't love you?
Hands off my Love!
Eyes to the ground!
I’ll Shoot you Down!
Who is he to say that I don't love you?
Who is he to say that I don't care?
Can you see past the lies
Oh how he tries to hypnotize
Who is he to say that I don't love you?

Clouds

You know heaven’s just above the clouds
And I can't hear a single sound
The air so thin and cool that it burns
You know heavens just above the clouds
And if you say your blessings out loud
It could be the gift you can't return
If you feel you never really learned
And I am divorcing my body don't stop. Me. Now.
And I am endorsing your choice in our sacred vows.
Sacred vows
Too much rides on today
I just wanna float away
Can I slip right into the blue, with you?
I'll block out all the sun
An’ spoil all your fun
Laugh so thunder is my cries
Then the rain falls a lullaby
And I am divorcing my body don't stop. Me. Now.
And I am endorsing your choice in our sacred vows.
And I am divorcing my body don't stop. Me. Now.
And keep my head up in the Clouds.

Pretty penny look at the stars
The moon a lonely plate
Pretty penny give us a kiss
And please don't make me wait all day
For you...what else can you do?
Pretty penny look at the stars
The moon a lonely plate
Pretty penny give us a kiss
And please don't make me wait all day
For you...what else can you do?
Oooooh the blood runs plenty
...for my pretty penny
Pretty penny hear ya bought some slaves
Take them cross the water
Orphans have no right to claim
The blood rights of our daughters
No not you...I like you right under my shoe
Pretty penny buy me some land
The one with people on it
Earth runs red with blood of the dead
And their gold is in my pockets
Oh it's true...one nation Red, white, and blue
Oooooh the blood runs plenty...for my pretty penny
Pretty penny wontcha buy me a gun
So I can shoot my problems
Glory me, you disagree?
Cock the hammer and rob them
Oh it's true...talk back I'll shoot ya too
Pretty penny shut your mouth
We know they'll pay the ransom
The truth is always ugly
And the lies become more handsome...
Yes they do...what else can you do?
Oooooh the blood runs plenty
...for my pretty penny
Pretty penny look at the stars
I've sealed their fates
Pretty penny give us a kiss
And I will clean my slate
with you...what else can you do?
Pretty Penny Oh Glory Be
Dontcha know...
They never pay for the milk
when you're givin' away the cow for free
Oooooh the blood runs plenty...for my pretty penny

Bigger Room
04:55

A bigger need, a bigger want
A bigger thing you need to flaunt
A bigger a bomb, a bigger Mess
A bigger world put to the test
AND!
A bigger God a bigger sky
A bigger love for your third eye
A bigger lie a bigger hole
A bigger badge make you feel in control
Holes in the Ozone
Ring around the rosary chain
Hollow be thy Name
Hold the tarot card up to the flame
But it’s all the same game
And the sky will cave in soon
It’s all about claimed space
And we’re gonna need a bigger room
A bigger win a bigger loss
A bigger sea to swim across
A bigger scoop a bigger tale
Be the first so you don’t fail
AND!
A bigger screen, a bigger drive
A bigger app to make you feel alive
A bigger Me, a bigger You
Goddamn this bigger we is gonna need a bigger room
We will ascend to make amends
For the Eden we fail to tend
Bereaved again we now take hands
Please god some mercy can you send?
But it’s all the same game
And the sky will cave in soon
It’s all about claimed space
And we’re gonna need a bigger room

Just because you left me don't give you the right to forget me my dear
Just cause you can leave me, baby you better believe, our endings not so near
Soon you will see were just meant to be
I know that you will see the light
Just take a chance on this forced romance
An’ everything will turn out right
Cause no matter what you do
You know that I'm still watching you from next door
Ya calling me a stalker better lock yer door and close all of your blinds.
Cause If I find ya cheating I’ll stop your heart from beating, away from mine
Soon you will see were just meant to be
Our love will mean so much more
Just take a chance on this forced romance
An' Soon you'll see what I have in store
Cause no matter what you do
You know I'm still watching you from next door
I will try to lie my texts denied, babe that was crazy talk
Like your mother I know best
And I'll pu it to the test, by moving on to your block
Soon you will see were just meant to be
I know that you will see the light
Just take a chance on this forced romance
An’ everything will turn out right
Cause no matter what you do you know that I'm still watching you from next door
Cause no matter what you do you know that I'm still watching you from next door
Cause no matter what you do you know that I'm still watching you from next door

Waves at Sunrise

I can tell you want to lay with me
I can see it in your eyes
So baby let's leave these city lights
And go to the waves at sunrise
The Waves at Sunrise
I can hold you for the longest time
While kissing in the tide
The others so far away
Let them stay
From the the waves at sunrise
Baby when I took you there
We had but not a care
Waves roll in, waves roll out
I'll make you twist and shout
Ooo baby just follow me and we'll see
The waves at sunrise
Baby when I took you there
We had but not a care
Waves roll in, waves roll out
I'll make you twist and shout
Ooo baby just follow me and we'll see
The waves at sunrise
You will always have a home with me
‘Neath the blue and orange sky
Don't leave soon
You are the moon
To the waves at sunrise

This is a little different from what I normally listen to but god-damn, I really enjoy it. They remind me of Canadian rockers ‘Old Major’. Not in sound but in their diverse & quirky style. The track Iz What It Iz could easily come of an ‘All Them Witches’ album. These are the same guys who brought out a that fantastic little 5 song Demo EP back in 2014. It’s a pity they withdrew the EP from Bandcamp. Happily I got it before they took it away.
