I pledge allegiance to this track that I'm rippin' These cats think I'm different Relax I be deppin' Like Bilbo and Pippin 'Cuz life got me trippin' I need an intermission But there no way where we're livin' I stay inspired by the movement of the people We tryin' to survive in this society of evil We limited wishing to be uninhibited And history really shows just what it is I stay inspired by the kids Who gotta story to tell But lack the tools to tell it with I drop jewels that I'm tellin' them I went to school still sellin' shit Acknowledging the melanin in my skin For the first time since I been a young kid Too timid to even swim Don't be afraid to be you Life is a journey That you can't redo Nah Break it down Breakin' it down you know What's inspiring to us What inspires you From the earth spinnin' on an axis To the fact that I be the next cat on the track list Pack this like weed in a bowl And if you didn't know the half you'll be seeing the whole Yeah This type of feelin' like i'm out of control But i'm inspired, so you know creation is the goal It's beyond yo Break it down Just travelin' through me Just sharing visions is a human intuition And following the spirit is simply just a given And it comes from beyond Kinda like a king from another era Call me the Khan Yo just listen to the vibe And ima take us away One time for yo mind I found a way to elevate Cuz freestyle rhyming You know, help me meditate So spectate and maybe you'll learn Yo this shit won't occur if you're waitin' your turn I obtain inspired in the brain If you gotta crack a brew Or put a flame to a strain its coo Yeah Go ahead and maintain Cuz that's how it be from the place that I came Yeah Uh And you can probably relate Its nothin' new but i'm tellin' you That we gotta create

Actions Words Thoughts Prayers May our actions match our words match our thoughts match our prayers Singing to the lands of the Earth Can’t cancel the hurt of the cancerous curse Caused by ancestors with their hands in the purse Can we reverse? I say we already are Honoring scars Realizing we are one with the stars We’ve fallen so far But voices call from afar Saying remember who you are Whispered words of wonder Cries of truth from birds of thunder Birds of fire birthed from dire circumstances murk and mire So why not rise from ashes? Fly high in flashes of the brightness blasted from behind your eyelashes Grasping at the math of all this We underestimated like a pacifist’s fist Create a passionate twist to the path in the mist & maybe bask in the midst of a masterful bliss With the everlasting yet passing naturalness Everybody got a magic gift to add to the list So Motherlover who you battling with? Can’t you hear the crack of the whip from the the capitalists? They put the average at risk Without a slap on the wrist & so we have to resist They put the average at risk Without a slap on the wrist & so we have to resist We have to resist. Resist Resist Resist with your actions, your words, your thoughts, & your prayers Try to change the world and the world change me Sometimes what it confers is a blur baby It’s for sure wavy, the ocean we’re on Let the sea of your mind remain open and calm Seeds of the timeless you hold in your palm Sometimes we need be reminded the quotes of the psalms The ones that told you you’re wrong Are old & they’re gone So be bold and be strong Sister the gifts of your soul are beyond your control & they long to be known & to frolic & dance on the path you’re unfolding along You were born to belong like the notes of a song Was astounding the sight of the sound in the night Hearken the tones with resounding delight Take to the dark what you found in the light I know you’re down for the heights But are you up for the depths? Fuck them regrets brother Trust in your steps To the rhythm of your heart as it bumps in your chest Accepting the blessing of what comes next So complex but it’s just one test Climbing the mountain with no harness Is it worth all the pain & the cold hardness? Oh God yes No contest It’s worth all the pain & the cold hardness Oh God yes We so darn blessed It’s worth all the pain & the cold hardness May our actions Match our words Match our thoughts Match our prayers

Breathing in the high from the ocean and her sun She's come to take back what is hers Tripping up my tongue Thinking bout the guns We talk about it but we never get up We rather build cages while children are dying We just stay high yeah We wanna vibe yeah Lady with the house on the beach don't like it When street people close their eyes, ah Close their eyes ah Chilling on the west cliff With the empty houses Not a care in the world But where they gonna sleep tonight? X2 In paradise, it's eroding Beautiful sight, stolen ocean Neglected in the night, addicts in coats Sit on the cliffs tonight, Watching erosion, watching erosion Chilling on the west cliff With the empty houses Not a care in the world But where they gonna sleep tonight? X2

Little bit a time A go I little bit a rhyme I'm tryna find out what the meanin' of life But I don't need to be thinkin' twice and I'm the living the life and i'm tryna go out every night but i'm livin' life and its fullest I ain't messin' with no bullets yeah Gotta be singin' to myself everybody wanna ask me for some help but I don't even have no time to help myself Livin' the life and I need it Livin' the life and I'm bleedin' Cuz i'm leaving love for those to go see me Could have been doin' this that and now I don't even need a track Need it back and I Need to be tellin' you that I don't even need it it why You know what I'm just even be rivise and see them and redefine

about

This album goes out to the great and wondrous environment that extends from the deep depths of the oceans, to the redwood forests and to interstellar space. This album goes out to our great ancestors, the giant sequoia. Let the Earth heal.

"Hold onto what is good, even if it is a handful of Earth.
Hold onto what you believe,
Even if it is a tree that stands by itself
Hold onto what you must do,
Even if it is a long way from here
Hold onto your life, even if it is easier to let go
Hold onto my hand,
Even if someday I'll be gone away from you"
-Puebloan Prayer

20% of proceeds of the album will go to the organization L’eau Est La Vie camp to stop the Bayou Bridge Pipeline
