Roots

Eyes to the sky, but our heart is buried deep underground
Sounding out vibrations for the wiggling worms
The matrix of mycelium will strengthen our words
The birds and the bees will pollinate through the breeze
Stirred up by a planetary conscious release
That drops us to our knees to squeeze the soil that made us
Take a seed and plant it for the ones that succeed us
With our bodies intertwined
Good vibrations are what we find
These roots grow down, these roots grow down
Put it in the ground, put it in the ground
Dirty hand will feed our minds
Fertile ground is what we leave behind
These roots grow down, these roots grow down
Put it in the ground, now put it in the ground
Open your mind and let that cool water wash you within
Your senses grin as the sun settles in
Nutrients assemble as our notes float above us
Showering the garden with our musical love
Underneath our feet you see there is a beautiful Eden
Feeding a community to grow global freedom
Seasons come and go, but the time’s always now
To catch the ebb and flow and grow our roots through the ground
With our bodies intertwined
Good vibrations are what we find
These roots grow down, these roots grow down
Put it in the ground, put it in the ground
Dirty hand will feed our minds
Fertile ground is what we leave behind
These roots grow down, these roots grow down
Put it in the ground, now put it in the ground
Now put it in the ground
With our bodies intertwined
Good vibrations are what we find
These roots grow down, these roots grow down
Put it in the ground, put it in the ground
Dirty hand will feed our minds
Fertile ground is what we leave behind
These roots grow down, these roots grow down
Put it in the ground, now put it in the ground
With our bodies intertwined
Good vibrations are what we find
These roots grow down, these roots grow down
Put it in the ground, now put it in the ground
Dirty hand will feed our minds
Fertile ground is what we leave behind
These roots grow down, these roots grow down
Put it in the ground, now put it in the ground
These roots grow down, now put it in the ground
These roots grow down, put it in the ground
Now put it in the ground

Lift Me Up
03:44

Fate flew in like a hummingbird
Sultry feathers beating brown and gold
Make bold your movements, in this moment everything’s a blur
Quick to turn to see my fate had flown
Holding out, no sense of doubt
Though the screens I see you shout
No masquerade, but still I’m played
Your eyes always lift me up
Can’t see the future but I see you
Your the joker no king can rule
After all, I see it’s true
I’m your singin’ fool
I’m your singin’ fool
When she came the moon was waxing
Slacking uncertainty relapsing into blissfulness
To her tune the sea collapses
Over evening noon, through my arms she dances
Holding out, no sense of doubt
Though the screens I see you shout
No masquerade, but still I’m played
Your eyes always lift me up
Can’t see the future but I see you
Your the joker no king can rule
After all, I see it’s true
I’m your singin’
Holding out, no sense of doubt
Though the screens I see you shout
No masquerade, but still I’m played
Your eyes always lift me up
Can’t see the future but I see you
Your the joker no king can rule
After all, I see it’s true
I’m your singin’ fool
Out of breath, sensation grows
Right on cFate flew in like a hummingbird
Sultry feathers beating brown and gold
Make bold your movements, in this moment everythings a blur
Quick to turn to see my fate had flown
Holding out, no sense of doubt
Though the screens I see you shout
No masquerade, but still I’m played
Your eyes always lift me up
Can’t see the future but I see you
Your the joker no king can rule
After all, I see it’s true
I’m your singin’ fool
I’m your singin’ fool
When she came the moon was waxing
Slacking uncertainty relapsing into blissfulness
To her tune the sea collapses
Over evening noon, through my arms she dances
Holding out, no sense of doubt

No masquerade, but still I’m played
Your eyes always lift me up

Your the joker no king can rule
After all, I see it’s true

Holding out, no sense of doubt

No masquerade, but still I’m played
Your eyes always lift me up
Can’t see the future but I see you
Your the joker no king can rule
After all, I see it’s true
I’m your singin’ fool
Out of breath, sensation grows
Right on que, she says she knows
And now I see it’s true
I’m your singin’ fool
I’m your singin’ fool
I’m your singin’ foolue, she says she knows
And now I see it’s true
I’m your singin’ fool
I’m your singin’ fool

Purple Tears

It’s raining but there’s a smile on your face
Sweet sound waves beating down on those basking in your grace
The colors form on the ripples on the river that we wade
Floating on your dreams you taught us all to seize the day
Bandanas holding back his wavy hair,
His beards grown long but you know that he just don’t care
Sometimes it’s 6, and other times it’s 4
Feet are always shuffling across this Lucky dance floor
It’s raining but there’s a smile on your face
Sweet sound waves beating down on those basking in your grace
The colors for the ripples on the river that we wade
Floating on your dreams you taught us all to seize the day
She called my with salt in her eyes
To tell me it’ll be alright
Notes from the voices I haven’t heard in
Years it's all for the man, that man with the purple tears
The canvas that he painted was incomplete
But the brush strokes he made they are so sweet
With so many stories left to write
The ones already here they speak true to life
It’s raining but there’s a smile on your face
Sweet sound waves beating down on those basking in your grace
The colors for the ripples on the river that we wade
Floating on your dreams you taught us all to seize the day
She called my with salt in her eyes
To tell me it’ll be alright
Notes from the voices I haven’t heard in
Years it's all for the man, that man with the purple tears
Make a point of getting out
Never live your life in doubt
No one is better without
You in their life
So try to take these words to heart
Don’t be sad when I depart
We all get another start
I’ll see you there my friend
Make a point of getting out
Never live your life in doubt
No one is better without
You in their life
So try to take these words to heart
Don’t be sad when I depart
We all get another start
I’ll see you there my friend

Dub Love

The sun is shining
On the streets we cruise for hours a day
Pushin’ through that cool ocean breeze maintains the steeze, till we
Can hit the park to carve those sweet concrete waves
Our night knows no curfew
Dodgin’ cops to hit the spots that we paved
Pushin’ by we skate or die and that’s the hard truth heh
Flowin’ lines were stopping time our kind are death-proof
Front sides at Six Side and Gordo for fat lines
You bring the camera and I’ll bring the spotlight
Twistin’ our buds up and throwin’ down beats cause
That’s how we do on this island of Dub Love
Slam down man your ragin’ ain’t got no place here
Get up off your ass were tryin’ to keep a flowing state here
Mind over matter you take the risk these bones may shatter
But it’s all worth it when you stick it catch it higher
These kids are on fire
Little grommies keepin’ the spirit alive
Pushin’ by we skate or die and that’s the hard truth heh
Flowin’ lines were stopping time our kind are death-proof
Front sides at Six Side and Gordo for fat lines
You bring the camera and I’ll bring the spotlight
Twistin’ our buds up and throwin’ down beats cause
That’s how we do on this island of Dub Love

Mind to Mind

Mind to mind
I'm floating down this narrow line
So I can get through to you
To somewhere clear to see
Making the time takes time
But maybe I'm just foolin’ myself
Could there be something more inside
Where can I find some piece of mind,
They gave it to you, but baby where is mine
Why can’t I find some piece of mind
After all this time, we’re breaking away too soon
Heart to heart
Reminiscing back to when it started
To seem like I was getting through to you
Like the words we said would set us free
Maybe this time will be fine
The signs will lead me right to the truth
And then I’ll turn to chapter two
Where can I find some piece of mind
They gave it to you, but baby where is mine
Why can’t I find some piece of mind
Maybe it’s the time, I finally see it through
