Beautiful Day

It's a beautiful day and it's a beautiful way
Listen to what my beautiful people got to say.
Change is coming in due time
What they do not realize
Change only lies in the youths eyes
Verse (Simon)
It's a function, see that we've been taught to know nothing
Then we're getting sucked into this world corruption
2000 people gone missing we're pawns in this system
Numbered, then cuffed in this prison
Before you know you're working from 9-5
Doing what you do cause you got to go and survive
Just to get by
Until you take a look inside
And all you really got is this here beautiful life.
Chorus
Verse (Jay)
As i rise early in the morning
To spread my wings
To see which way the wind blows
And what the day may bring
The night started with lightning, thunder, hail, and rain
So I wake to water splashing all up on my window pane
An as the sun rises a natural mystic hits the air
And my mind elevates above all doubt and fears
To seek the righteous path even though sometimes hard to find
And leaving those with wicked hearts and thoughts far behind
Cause when you shine light, darkness will come and try to swallow
That's why I shine bright for the blindest of men to follow
'Cause I'm living today and not destined to see tomorrow
And life lacking love is something I refuse to swallow
Flicking ashes upon ashes with those I love and trust
Building on the better things free from greed and lust
On the difficult stages of life an even on the greatest of days
I count my blessings and remember to give thanks and praise
'Cause its a beautiful day
Chorus
Verse (Giles)
I'm trying to dream impossible
Step up in my lane, no way i'm unstoppable
Even dudes claiming to be my friends looking at me like i'm an obstacle
But i ain't ever change, so stay estranged
You don't know the life i lead
The simple pains the guilty pleasures
The life of a true blessed kid
The streets are filled
We are trying to make it over the next hill
Put all them bets down, its blue sky bound
Truly profound
And all my homies seeing the bottom like its a problem
Not using it to influence
It's the truest we do it
No need to act stupid
Layin ruin to musical movements
I'm a scholar in my own mind
Take your own time to rewind
You will find what i live and what i love
This is a regiment not a settling
Se are aiming to be some veterans in this game for purple heart mettling
Hey hey so settle in
Chorus

If I Could

(Simon)
Seems the world's trying to keep me down,
Got to find a way to pick my soul up off the ground,
See there's trouble that lies ahead
Got me living in a mind state of red,
Well if I could Lord knows
I would go right back for you
If I could Lord knows
I would go right back for you
See you been walking around with a scorn,
Say your tough but your heart is always torn,
Got me caught up in your haze
When I took a look I saw room for a change
Well if I could Lord knows
I would go right back for you
If I could Lord knows
I would go right back for you
Think it's time I just stay to my self
Cause life don't seem worth waiting for time to tell
Think it's time I just stay to my self
Cause a life don't see worth waiting for time to tell
If I could Lord knows
I would go right back for you
If I could Lord knows
I would go right back for you
Well I say now woo oh woo oh
Well I say woo oh woo oh
Well I say woo oh woo oh
My friend woo oh woo oh

Way It Goes

Verse (Simon)
All he knows from this world is what he can go take from it
No hand outs around cause you’re bound to the matrix kid
Contemplating death got nothing to ease that stress
When the bottom come, he always strives to be the best
Walking around with all those scars on his chest
Ain't timid of nothing, the devil been trying to test
Could never settle for less, losing never been a option
Working hard around the clock to see water flowing out that faucet
Costing more than the man's got up in his pocket
Lost in the same trouble that originally threw him up into this mosh pit
But honestly life can be filled with change
That man been slinging highs for ever
Now they finally got him up in chains
Bringing him down
For all those sorrows that he rained
But more so than him his son’s gonna be the one to feel the pain
Drug money or no money that food all taste the same
And now that kid ain't eating
All he's got is his support to blame
What a shame
They say this is how the world keeps turning
All I see is bridges burning
Gets awfully concerning
A lot of education
But still no ones learning
Talking about my own perspective and my own life burdens
Still I'm just a man
Mess with my fam your about to get a hurting
A person perfectly searching for something that a certain
Removing those curtains
With each and every single version
Moving through life like we got a purpose.
Chorus
Way it goes
That's all I know
You gotta walk a lion
Never let them tame your soul
Day is cold
Feeling low
In this rough tough world
Never let them tame your soul
Way it goes
That's all I know
You gotta walk a lion
Never let them tame your soul
Day is cold
Feeling low
In this rough tough world y'all
Verse (Giles)
Excuse me hello hi there
What a mellow guy
Chill, sub zero
Fly, super high
Twist a lot used to dreadlocks
Always dread locks
Picked up a ziploc
I'm filling it so let your head pop
Take this head shot
No scope just walked up in the scene blindly a blind leap
You know me barely
I need it to be Braille see
Haters can jump off a bridge with there glaring
Heated like the sun beams
And I'm airing it out
No doubt tragic kingdoms what this about
If your looking for a bout better bow out
This that salmon swimming up stream letting off steam
Theme keep it green
One and only on the team
Cause my peeps be grinding
But i know in time one day we will outshine them
That's anybody in the land and that's the plan.
We gonna do it with the fam
So everybody raise your hands and sing
Chorus
Way it goes
That's all I know
You gotta walk a lion
Never let them tame your soul
Days are cold
Feeling low
In this rough tough world
Never let them tame your soul
Way it goes
That's all I know
You gotta walk a lion
Never let them tame your soul
Days are cold
Feeling low
In this rough tough world y'all

Gunshots

(Simon)
Yes my friend
If this world came right to an end
I'll let love be my guide
Because the spirit it will survive
Yes my friend
If this world came right to an end
I'll let love be my guide
Because the spirit it will survive
Gunshots from a balcony
Another brother chopped Down who's reppin the peace
Another brother chopped Down who's reppin the peace
Another brother shot down
Where was the system during this cause?
Same as they are now they broke their own laws
Same as they are now they broke their own laws
Same as they are now
Well I say
Yes my friend
If this world came right to an end
I'll love be my guide
Because the spirit it will survive
Yes my friend
If this world came right to an end
I'll love be my guide
Because the spirit it will survive
Most of them they can see for themselves
The other half was pulled right off the shelf
With a system that claims to know the truth
Take the gun off the rack and hand it to the youth
Teaches him to shoot tells him to stay strong
In a world where nations rise and they fall
In the distance you can hear the rebel call
Cause everyday we suffer and we fall
Yes my friend
If this world came right to an end
I'll love be my guide
Because the spirit it will survive
Yes my friend
If this world came right to an end
I'll love be my guide
Because the spirit it will survive
I know that spirit and it will survive
I know that spirit and it will survive
I know that spirit and it will survive
I know that spirit has to survive

LAMBSBREAD HERB
CH (Simon)
It’s just me and my boys and some lambsbread herb
It’s just me and my boys,
And some lambsbread herb
V1 (Jay)
its just me and my boys and some lambsbread herb
coming thru all your ghettos an all your suburbs
coming to spread a message to the people with the word
with instruments in hand
so don't you dare disturb
cause we're protected by the father
for everything it's worth
and guided by his wisdom
as we travel on this earth
on a quest for wisdom
many gifts we shall find
to bring enlightenment and expansion to the mind
to bring us all together
rather than divide
in the future hopefully a demand
we will supply
with the music
so when you see us coming
don't be surprised
cause we're here to just live and let live
to the end of our lives
through the rain sleet snow hail and thunderstorms
its just me and my boys and some lambsbread herb
just me and my boys
me and my boys
me and my boys and some lambsbread herb
CH (Simon)
V2 (Jay)
In this place where I been so many times before
In front of a mic in the studio
the engineer hits record
what else to do
but lay it down and give it straight to you
as the mic picks up the sound
thru to cord to the computer
now its up to the engineer
to hear it clear and tweek the sound
take his time
and mix and master it all down
so we can conversate
speculate and set it straight
and try and get to the people before its too late
cause life is too short
and I'm trying to live for everything it's worth
and fulfill my dreams before I leave this earth
so give me the mic and let amplify whatever I like
It's guaranteed satisfaction from the day til the night
through the rain sleet snow hail and thunderstorms
it's just me and my boys and some lambsbread herb
just me and my boys
me and my boys
me and my boys and some lambsbread herb

V3 (Jay)
chillin' puffin' on a chalice
H.I.M Selassie I&I
in a deep meditation
cause Rastamon don't get high
see in this meditation we reason and figure why
every bwoy whan go heaven
no bwoy wan die
we chatted on this road no riches
no diamond rings
only knowledge power cipher
to maneuver thru all things
and live the good life
necessary by all means
so we gave thanks and praise
as the tea kettle steamed
in a moment of silenced
he poured a cup
I took a sip
his words weaved the time
ancient like sanskrit
he said "JAH rule them all whether they come big or small"...
"...test bringing crashin down like Jericho's walls..."
"...the righteous shall flourish and the wicked shall fall..."
"...and who Jah bless no mon shall curse at all..."
"...so gwan young bwoy, take these wise words, and spread the message to the people 'bout the LAMBSBREAD HERB!!!!"
