ABOUT THIS TRACK:

Poetic: This line says it all: "Give me the lighter, I'm a freedom fighter. Sent to ignite a tired generation through the storm......"

This track runs parallel with the theme of the EP. Our generation has only began to make it's true mark on history after struggling to make ends meat in one of the lowest economic downfalls our country has ever seen. A lot different then how we were raised in the early 90's. With out rambling on for too long I wanted to let my people know that it's alright. We all will be triumphant in the years ahead and collectively we can all impact our country in ways we haven't even yet imagined. So get off your ass and do something positive for those around you. Stop letting other make decisions for you. It's our time to be independent. Let's change for the better.

"It's all love....It's alright.."

lyrics

LYRICS:

give me the lighter, I’m a freedom fighter sent to ignite a tired generation through the storm
we back to cold nights yet we invested inspite wether weather wanna treat us right ( haha )
Gimme da mic, I’m gunna give you what you like. Hands Up!
…… It’s all love….uh-huh … It’s alright;; alright
bringing warmth from the light, have more out your life, absorb less of da hype
You can’t afford to go another night losing more of the person that you once liked
once might of seen the real and stopped living out of spite
swallowing all these pills to make you numb to your fight.
playing a victim will never lead to new heights, New sights,
But I told you …
It’s all love…uh hu….it’s alright
44sec.
If they got beef youngin den letem bite
Bull dogs bark but a pitbull will rip you apart.
I’m Coming from the shadows that embrace in da dark.
Like a cold fog hovering over everywhere you are
I’m just a breed of Noah’s ark
So I’m feeling to take this seed and grow it to a proper stalk.
So I……. no longer… even need to walk,
I’ll just climb…. through heavens……….. and through skies.
Searching for hellos and leaving all my goodbyes
Anything to relieve me of the tears from her brown eye.
I’ll gladly leave that pain for a better life
But right now…yo some how…yeah.. I vow
That I’ll get what they would never allow…
A sad clown with a chance to turn his frown around.
HOOK---were gunna be alright….ooh ohh it’s alright.
The worlds made of colors and people different shades
But collectivelymy brother. We can all be made.
We can all be made.. We can all have better days.

Living earths final days but distracted by the those wit fame
Who’s to blame we bask in how they entertain
Sell yourself to what the teacher taught and what a stripper bought.
I’m just a skater boy being chased by a rent a cop.
Don’t stop don’t ask. Open up that register and give me all your cash.
If you don’t know the name, shish boy you betta ask.
I’m coming for the map hungry for a hot plate.
When I don’t eat I start to contemplate the crime rate. Lol. ( Pause)
Inspiring masses sharing Visions through inspector gadgets glasses
Feeling to fix the broken hearted get em back to where they started
full of love wrapped in hugs walking red rugs headed to their dreams.
Either way I’ll hush em right back to sleep…
