Rags to Wisdom (Lennon) 

Chorus: 
What's the poor man say? 
Yeah What's the poor man say? 
"Oh I need some more" 

But What's the rich man say? 
Yeah What's the rich man say? 
"Oh I want it all" 

What's the wise man say? 
Yeah What's the wise man say? 
"I have this world 
I am everything so I have everything I could need. 
Yes we are everything so we have everything we could need 


Well there's a man in the streets of a concrete jungle 
looking for something to eat 
With his hands holding tight to a sign of his struggle 
asking for help getting free 
And some people may try to tend to his heart 
by buying his needs 
But for what he is looking, like this, he never will receive 
what he is looking for is simply a truth to believe 


and up above, at the top 
of the concrete tower 
there's a man and his thoughts 
of his wants and his needs 
and his hunger for power 
and the hunger won't stop 
so he takes and he takes 
from the near and the needy 
'til they're ready to drop 
for inside his soul is a hole he can never fill up 
though he tries and he tries, the lies will never be love 


and on the sand of the shore 
by the big blue ocean 
there's a man who has got 
all he wants, all he needs, 
all he ever could hope for 
though all he hopes for is love 
he is no longer bound by 
his and his fear and his limits 
he has risen above 
for his heart and his mind have unified as one 
and he sees himself in the eyes of everyone 

Fresh Squeezed (Lennon) 

Exsqueeze me some of that lemonade 
but I'm pretty sure that it's getting late 
and we should leave before the sun stops shining 
I'll be your ocean, you be my island 

When I am crashing on your shores 
I'm just like the water moving back and forth 
follow the light of the setting sun 
'til high tide when the morning come 

Take it easy 
If you wanna ride 

Baby won't you maybe let me be the man 
leaving the ripples in your warm sand 
because the way that you're shaking's 
got me about to beg 
want to cool you down with my smooth waves 

Ride on my rhythm back up to the beach 
take in the heat while the moon sleeps 
and when she wake again to a dark night 
strike the iron let the sparks fly 

Take it easy 
If you wanna ride 

(Reprise) 
Exsqueeze me some of that lemonade 
but I'm pretty sure that it's getting late 
and we should leave before the sun stops shining 
I'll be your ocean, you be my island 

Roach in the Water (Lennon) 

Chorus: 
Roach in the water 
Roach in the water 
don't go tokin' with the sheriff's daughter 
yeah that's how he got taken away 

Her papa came across the evidence 
now he don't get to see his friend's 
cause he spending all his time in the state penitentiary 


it all began out of chance 
thursday afternoon 
he saw her dance, just one glance 
and he surely knew 
so he worked up the heart to ask 
if there's anything they could do 
she said tomorrow night my place 
and baby bring a big ol' doob 


well that was a sweet friday night 
by her side, gazing at the stars 
with the smoke their eyes and the music 
in their hearts 
she took him down to the water 
and that's when the fire starts 
the younguns started lovin 
and left the roach swimming in the dark 


Chorus 


Her papa came home early morning like he usually does 
He was the sheriff of the town coming from the night shift hor his morning cup 
He stepped outside to sip his joe down by the water 
and that's when he found the roach left there by that boy and his daughter 


So he marched right up and he woke her out of bed 
Asking, "Girl, what is this?" and you should hear just what she said 
She told him, "I'm sorry Daddy but I had never hung out with a dread. 
It's that neighbor boy's fault, you should go blame him instead." 


And that's when her daddy turned the knob from ten to twelve 
this little lady's lies would make this boy's life a living hell 
'cause now her papa was determined to get his ass in a jail cell 
just for sharing some sweet ganja with this beautiful young belle 


Chorus 

Madre Tierra (Lennon) 

Chorus: 
Le presto mi corazón a la Madre Tierra 
y el cielo que agarra la luz del sol 
He cantado al viento hasta que el mar me oyera 
y todos bailaron con el ritmo de las olas del oceano 


Mañana me lavanto 
esperando por un descanso 
Un descanso por el mundo 
y está en nuestras manos 
Creo que somos reyes y reinas 
si creerán, si sentirían 
si cantarían al viento 
y bailarian con el ritmo 


En el dio me levanto 
esperando por un descanso 
Un descanso por el pueblo 
y está en nuestras manos 
Creo que somos reyes y reinas 
si creerán, si sentirían 
si cantarían al viento 
y bailarian con el ritmo 

Ego Balloon (Lennon, Guasco) 

Lennon: 
step on the stage and I breathe slow 
as I listen to the shouts and screams from the people 
they giving love but I only what I need 
so I don't over inflate ego 
and now they saying that I'm on the rise 
I'm gonna get my prize 
thinking that the love'll leave my sight 
but this dream's the only thing inside of my mind 
lift my spirit up and let my heart catch fire 
lift these lyrics up so we can all take flight 
i know I ain't shit if no one listens to what I spit on the mic 
I'm just another fuckin fool like the rest of us 
without that truth to hold I know my soul'll make an exodus 
but don't say that you know the deal 
before you walked my shoes you got no clue about it feels 
everyday trying to keep it real 
stay concerned with what i've learn so I can earn more than mass appeal 


Guasco: 
Back in the day when I couldn't even tie my shoes 
I knew it was up to me to break rules 
Stand up to myself get that chip off my shoulder 
Make Steps, build blocks and never bend over 

This my life, I'll make the most of it 
Keep my feet moving, chin up and never quit 
I've got big dreams, I'm doing big things 
I put the FUN in fungi, let my heart sing 

I'll be polite to my elders, shake hands and bow down 
'Cuz they gave me the freedom to run around town 
Never settle down, stay motivated 
Grow dreadlocks and remain meditated 

Imma grow up a strong, humble and smart man 
Keep my thoughts straight and stick to the plan 
I'll keep this World better regardless of the weather 
Won't put limits on myself, beacause I'll only get better 


Chorus: 
you got your flaws, I got mine too 
an everyday struggle to keep the truth 
but I'm going to do what I'm going to do 
to try and deflate this ego balloon 
you got your flaws, I got mine too 
an everyday struggle to keep the truth 
but I'm going to do what I'm going to do 
to try and deflate this ego balloon 


Lennon: 
it takes constant checks and balances 
to keep pace with each day that passes on the calendar 
each hand I shake is another set of challenges 
to try and understand where the balance is 
I'm walkin hard on a thin line 
between confidence and thoughts suggestion I'm shit right? 
and once I feel i've got the steps the test starts to incline 
and suddenly I'm inclined to rewind 
cuz no one cares about a talented man 
who just stands on the stage with the mic in his hand 
acting like he's got the game plan, 
acting like he has no need for changing 
i breathe the change in 
I'm trying to keep the youth in my eyes 
remembering the ways the in which music made me feel inspired 
days and nights I would free style; made me feel like a free child 


Guasco: 
I'm as light as a feather and I'll always be grounded 
I know what your thinking and I know how that sounded 
But if you're thinking what I think your thinking... stop 
I'm rising to the top 
I'm thankful for every thing that I've got 
I don't pretend to be anything that I'm not 
I'm not a pot head, I'm not a hot-shot 
I'm not better than you and I'm not what I'm not 
But I am what I am and what I am I love 
I'm not religious, but I believe in The Above 
I give thanks every day for my friends and family 
And most of all for those that look up to me 
They're my little homies, I don't have look nice 
They trust what I say, they don't have to ask twice 
Trust in the man and I'm envious of them 
They remind myself of who I really am 

Solutions (Lennon, Sorensen, Pezzano, Guasco) 

Chorus: 
In the world of destruction 
People search for solution 
We'll find a way, we'll find a way, yeah 
In this land of corruption 
People fight for solution 
We'll find a way, we'll find a way, yeah 


Sorensen: 
The lessons to life is to make the mistakes 
You'll learn from the breaks as you build to the state 
As a happy young blood with passion for change 
So look into yourself for the message it takes 
To construct your faith 
Bridges are made 
Connections in place 
To mix up your fate 
Every single soul has a path to make 
So you'll grab it up and you'll be the change 


Guasco: 
Take the reigns, use your brain 
Worry too much and you'll go insane 
Never want to wear a frown on my face 
I wake up in the morning with a goal to chase 
My soul shines bright, energy, light 
When the ropes unravelled, tie it tight 
Life's too short to feel down 
Be the ruler of your own time and wear that crown 


Sorensen: 
Work is an itch 
But life is the lift 
So you gotta just keep on struggling for it 
cuz every single day is a moment for praise 
So we give it all up to the gods of faith 
For love and magic and music to change 
Emotions and motives and this energy 
To set the spirit free 
Life's cup of tea 
This music it comes and it fills me 


Guasco: 
Up, fill my cup 
Half full, lose control 
Living in love and I'm on a roll 
Life's so good, achieve my goal 
Feel love around me, Sol surrounds me 
Never feel that I ever got enough 
Life's about living not being tough 
I'd be lying if I told you that I had it rough 


Lennon: 
Life, it's an everyday struggle 
I break down and rebuild from rubble 
Slow steps as I wade through the trouble 
the work is hard and the change is subtle 

Sometimes, I can lose my way 
Regret my path and forget my place, but 
Breath slow everything's okay 
One more step for one more day 

Green Collar Life (Lennon, Sorensen, Pezzano, Guasco) 

Chorus: 
Green collar life 
Music is a blessing; our profession 
Green collar life 
never gonna stop this high 


Pezzano: 
This musics far-reaching 
We teaching and preaching 
To be breaching all the barriers, cuz' seeings believing 
Dominating State of Jefferson, music is the message and 
Percolating, inhilating special herbal medicine 
Flying past the scenery 
Puffing on the greenery 
Laughing and relaxing, no worries, we be living free 
I'm telling it straight 
The people 'aint gonna' wait 
We step on to the stage and it's magic that we make 


Sorensen: 
Rarely have to pay for the drink in my hand 
Always got the girl Mary Jane for a dance 
When we come to town we are here for a blast 
Then we turn around and we're gone in a flash 


Lennon: 
Yes I got the fire in my soul 
So give me just a second and again I'l rock this microphone 
Livin' in lovin' is my goal 
and the message that i'm sending is to free yourself from mind control 
Yes it feels so nice 
riding with the rhythm of this musical high 
Oh it feels so right 
just some green collar livin' in a beautiful life 


Guasco: 
Green Collar livin' has given the opportunity 
To focus on my ideal reality 
and that's playing music, staying lucid 
Moving through life, free and fluid 
Living on the road, achieving our goals 
Brotherhood is like a family, support is all we know 
I was working two jobs, sometimes three 
but I knew from the beginning that wasn't for me 
So, I kept my head down, continued grinding 
but the only thing that I was finding 
was an routine unclean for me to remain sorean 
keep my mind and body pristine 
no more suits and ties, no more headaches and lies 
nothing but love for my favorite five guys 
I started a Simplistic man and now a Sol Seed 
This Green Collar life let's my soul breathe 
Let your soul breathe. 

Waking Up (Lennon) 

Chorus: 
I'm waking up to a dark night 
With them clouds hanging over my head 
But your by my side through these hard times 
Lifting me up from the depths 


What a beautiful blessing 
Each breathe that I let in 
is gettin me higher 
and the truth in the lessons 
a message that heaven's a 
vision of I Earth 
I feel your spirit 
No face, no name 
Your music I hear it 
No race, no game 


When I'm shaken from making my way 
through the hatred to foster the love 
You raise my vibrations, and give I 
the patience to keep my head up 
I feel your spirit 
No face, no name 
Your music I hear it 
No race, no game 


When my body fade back to pieces of an ancient sun 
My spirit come back, spirit come back to you 
For I and I is you and you and I is everyone 
One vibration. Love vibration. Move 

Don't Tell I (Lennon, Sorensen) 

Chorus: 
Don't tell I what I be 
because the only to change I is me 
I won't tell you what to do 
because nobody really knows the truth 


Lennon: 
Rumbling the speakers, rumbling the bass 
rumble party people all over the place 
break out of your chains with your reggae homegrown 
break out of your chains, you know your not alone 
We've got our minds to make our own decisions 
but still over time we're seeing someone else's vision 
Like brother Marley said, “This is mind control. 
Corruption of your thoughts, destruction of your soul.” 


Sorensen: 
The truth should be a mystery 
Not written definitely 
We're going back through history 
Seeing all the scenes we've seen 
We will write these prophecies 
War, Anger, Bigotry 
I know what we will bring 
Simple peace and harmony 
My feet on the ground 
Stomping all around 
I'll raise Gaia up and bring this beautiful sound 
So come on and sing with me 
Children of the earth and sea 
Imprisoned by society but 
We will break free 


Lennon: 
and when are we going to see our individuality 
contrary to society and what we see on the TV screen 
and when are we going to know, that life is only hard 
because we make it so. there's no need for control 
when they tell you how to go make sure you let them know 

Don't tell I, Don't tell I 
When I'm rumbling through your speakers 
and I'm rumbling through your town 
Don't tell I, Don't tell I 
When I'm rumbling through your speakers 
and I'm burning babylon down 

Mind to the World (Lennon, Sorensen, Pezzano) 

Lennon: 
I wake up under different suns each time I close my eyes 
to break up all these ignorant thoughts that seem to cloud my sight 
now i want to be omniscient, 
but i've been thinking things are suspicious 
so i strive to set my vision to the wishes of my soul, 
try to take a lesson try to listen to what i'm told 
and tame the ego, forget the divide 
that this self-domestication is impressing on our minds 
walk far, listen hard, never end up following' 
gotta claim your heart before the devil tries to swallow it 
not a fallen angel but the fear that is in all of us 
keeping these divisions, superstitions only stalling us 
seems a lot of people walk around with their masquerades 
limits on their vision and decisions to get mad and hate 
some people can't relate, don't see it's all just fate 
that we're all products of our learning and our birthing place so 


Chorus: 
Open up your mind to the world 
open up your heart and let your soul unfurl x4 


Sorensen: 
We're wishing peace for the restless 
And health to the sick 
Food for the hungry 
And shelter to the house less 
cuz the only way to build up a strong generation 
Is to put aside all your negative vibrations 
Gonna take from the greedy and we'll give it to the needy 
Spiritual healing is the cosmos believing 
In the power of the elders passed down to the kneeling 
Mantras giving passage to the positive for bleeding 
Oh we've got enough love for everyone 
Spread it through the land like the rising sun 
Bless to your daughter, Bless to your sons 
Bless to yourself for you're part of the one 
So put down your weapons, put down your guns 
The way to gain peace is to fight with your tongue 
I said put down your weapons, put down your guns 
The way to gain peace is to fight with your tongue 


Pezzano: 
When living in these troubling times 
It's often hard to see 
The beauty that certainly lies inside of you and me 
Everyday that I wake up 
I plant the seed 
Everyday the sun breaks the dawn 
Well it's a day we are free 
So take a little walk with me 
Oh, down the sandy shore 
Aside the ocean of our thoughts 
In search for something more 
Forget your troubles and delusions 
Leave them in your shoes 
Forget all of your reservations 
You've got nothing to lose 

Waterspout (Lennon, Sorensen, Pezzano) 

Chorus: 
That itzy bitzy spider 
went up the waterspout 
Down came the rain (down came the rain) 
and washed the spider out 
then out came the sun 
and dried up all the rain 
and that itzy bitzy spider 
went up the spout again 


Lennon: 
We're all little spiders 
I can see that truth now 
as we keep on striving 
the wicked rain down 

We must burn with the fire 
I can feel that truth now 
if our souls keep shining 
we know the sun will come out 

And we'll breath 
in the beauty of our movement 
Ah oo oo oo 
Ah oo oo oo 

As we believe 
the truth's that we can do this 
if our souls keep shining 
we know the sun will come out 


Sorensen: 
He be looking down the long dark hallway of life 
Wondering where it ends 
Down came the rain 
Down came the rain 
And washed him back to the beginning again 
Said out came the sun 
and dried up and his tears 
He picked him self up 
And dust himself off 
And overcame his fears 


Down came the rain (down came the rain) 

The Journey (Lewis) 

Everyone's got a story 
They gonna want to tell 
‘bout their journey through life 
struggles survived 
standing up when they had fell 
and I know my journey 
has got a long way to go 
and my strength will be tried 
so will my pride 
but I have to walk this road 
I will strum it hard 
and oh you know it comes from my heart 
I will play my song until there's holes in my guitar 
and I will sing it loud 
oh you know i'll sing it proud 
this is my journey 
my journey 


Oh oh oh 
I will surely go 
keep moving forward now 
keep moving forward know oh oh (repeat) 


I am sitting here 
wondering why my head won't clear 
so many thoughts it's hard to keep track anymore 
but it don't bring me down 
because I take the higher ground 
and that smoke just drifts through 
the cracks beneath my door 


Oh oh oh 
I will surely go 
keep moving forward now 
keep moving forward know oh oh (repeat) 

The Balance (Lennon) 

With the sun I'll rise 
Hear the whisper of the ocean 
See it my eyes 
Breathe and listen, sweet emotion 
There's a change inside 
A symptom of these passing days 
Got to learn to ride 
On the crest of these crashing waves 


Hoping not to drown 
Though the water's far above my head 
Focus on the sound 
Wake me up now from the dead 
Let the rhythm pound 
Make the music come alive 
Keep my balance now 
Ready for this rising tide 


I watch the horizon change 
Standing on the shore 
Feeling the tidal wave 
rushing towards me 

And will I find the balance 
When it's time 
Will I fall 
will I stand up and ride 

Still it is a challenge 
A hope that I can find 
In my heart 
A strength that never dies 

Though it is a challenge 
Still I hope I'll find 
In my heart 
The strength that never dies 


Don't wash me away 
Tidal wave, tidal wave
