Stranded

Sitting in my bedroom
On a Friday night
All my friends bailed on me
And left me high and dry
Staring up at the ceiling
Watching time drift by
If I don’t find some way to escape
I feel I’m gonna loose my mind
And I said
I don’t wanna be alone
Tonight
Just strumming my guitar
Searching for that rhyme
Looking for some inspiration
To give me something to write
Reach in my pocket
And I spark that light
Exhale that sweet emotion
Lay down and close my eyes
And I said
I don’t wanna be alone
Tonight
My baby she left me
Said she didn’t have time
She said the hardest thing for her
Was just to say goodbye
I said baby don’t worry
I’ll be alright
But don’t you ever hesitate to call
Whenever you feel the need to grind
And she said
I don’t wanna be alone
Tonight
Oh baby you make me feel so good
Make it feel like heaven tonight

Walking Home

Walking over Davies
Almost home free
Following the traffic lights
Beside the cracks in the concrete
Worn clothes from the night before
Still half asleep, eyes burning
But it don’t make no difference to me
Cuz I’ve got to clear my head
I can’t stop thinking about
Last night to me what you said…
I’m trying not to go overboard
But my mind is feeling slow
just let it go, let it go
I’ve been thinking a lot lately
About addiction and dependency
When you find something or someone
Who seems to satisfy all your needs
But it’s all just an illusion
To keep you from the truth
And the truth is that you don’t need nothing
Because it all comes down to you
I’m trying not to go overboard
But my mind is feeling slow
just let it go, let it go
Still I keep on walking
Still I keep on walking
Still I keep on walking
Till I find what I’m looking for

Pick Me Up
02:30
|

|
All of my friends and I
Are gonna go out tonight
Don’t care about tomorrow
Our intent to have a good time
And do this despite
All the consequence that follows
And we’re gonna get so high
That we wont we won’t
Remember it right
But it doesn’t matter to me
Cuz lately I just cant see why
That it should
So I’m gonna go take this time
And make this spot mine
like I was a landmine
I’m gonna find a woman
A woman for me to be satisfied
And we’re gonna get so high
That we won’t we won’t
Remember it right
But we rule the dance floor
To put you in trance
So you to dance to my rhymes
Skinny up kid to the sickening upbeat
So put down your drinks and come move with me
Release your guard forget your worries
And move to the sound that is your remedy
Pick me up pick me up somebody please fix me up fix me up
Oh god I can feel it now I feel its effect
I’m gonna take it all till there’s nothing left
Until she said slow it down baby now
She said whoa now boy I can feel it now whoa

Before The Sunrise
02:35
|

|
I was feeling kind of restless last night
So I decided to go out to unwind
That’s when I saw her on the dance floor
Never seen her before but
I could tell she wanted something
needed something
wanted something from me
I didn’t even know her name
Didn’t mind it just the same
Because I knew that she’d slip away
Before the sunrise
So I decided to creep up from behind her
And slip my hands down her side to confine her
And when I moved, she followed the beat
She never asked me no questions
Never gave me directions
But I knew what she wanted by the way she responded,
I knew what she wanted what she wanted from me
Some would say I was being reckless
For even taking such risk but
Whoever thinks about these things not me not me
She never said what she wanted from me
She never said what she needed from me
She never asked me no questions
Or even gave me directions
But I knew just what by the way she responded
I knew what she wanted from me
I didn’t even know her name
Didn’t mind it just the same
Because I knew that she’d slip away
Before the sunrise

One Microphone
02:51
|

|
I can move a crowd with one microphone
Test the effectiveness against your gas and batons
And you come with talk about terrorism
Like it’s something that you protect us from
How dare you use our fear as a weapon
Behind the reinforced walls of your pentagon
Watching me stealthily on a monitor screen
With your finger fixed poised above the button
And you promote selfishness and greed
As the way that our people should be
But you know that what we really need
Just a little bit of peace
In this world full of hate and disease
full of hate and disease
When I was just a young boy living day to day
So forlorn about world’s degenerating state
The only thing that it seemed could keep me feeling sane
Was the sweet reggae coming through
It taught me about, melody and rhythm
Patience and grace to keep me feeling lifted
In tune with the universal rhythm
And now I pass it on to you
My brothers and sisters
But you promote selfishness and greed
As the way that our people should be
When you know that what we really need
Just a little bit of peace
In this world full of hate and disease
And I can move a crowd with one microphone
Without ever dropping bombs or firing one gun
And I can make a rhyme that will infiltrate your soul
Using nothing but my microphone
With just my microphone
With just a microphone
