We didn't know
or better yet we didn't care
Because everyone knew
there was no time to spare
When you're whistling in the graveyard

It Doesn't Matter
03:43

It doesn't matter
what you say about me
because I trust my heart and I wear it on my sleeve
It doesn't matter
what you say about me
I am innocent until I have been proven guilty
No I committed no crime
It must of been the other rude boy getting out of line
there is no need to fuss or start a fight
so put down the guns, lets have a good time
It doesn't matter
what they say about you
because they aren't your daddy so what they going do
So you can tell them you are doing just fine
and if they have a complaint then they can stand in line
so keep me out of your grape vine
because it is just one big waste of time
It doesn't matter...
if your black or white
what color your fly
you think you're the man
if you are happy or sad
the clothes that you wear
the style of your hair
if you don't like this song
if you do not belong
it doesn't matter
because we all belong

the Facts of Life
02:49
|
|||
|
Do you think about it
even though you say you don't?
and does it hurt you feelings more then most
And does it strike a nerve
right down to your core
like you have never felt before
and you can ask who ever you like about the facts of life
Did it stick in your crawl?
its a shame if that is the case
because that is a hella of a way
to have to spend the day

Gappin' Out

the clock ticks faster each day
now its time to turn another calendar page
and it seems to quicken with age
but if thats the case I should pick up the pace
your life remains on a constant plane
but its never in a straight line
with age we replace the objects and space
we once regarded as the apple of our eye
Your view of the finish line
may come into focus when you realize whats in sight
but you better keep it in mind
that your path it will narrow before it divides
No joke, keep close the last thread of rope
that binds the past and the person that your are
in time you will fine that things reside
deep within the cracks that you didn't know where there
am i dreaming or am I just gapping out
Step back, relaxed its time to review the facts
they may look much different through another set of eyes
in time you will find that things resided
deep with the cracks that you didn't know where there
No joke, keep close the last thread of rope
that binds the past and the person that you are
Embrace, unchain, the things that still remain unknown
to discover exactly where you are
am i dreaming or am I just gapping out

Circles & Squares

|
things have begun to fall in line...
You can't seem to put your finger on it today
but you have a sneaky feeling
that there is someone to blame
So you search for direction
Pulled in so many ways
but I tell you that your redemption comes
in so many shapes
When the loss, out weighs the cost
then divided we will stand no more

Dance Like Elaine
03:38
|
|||
|
well i will admit
that some people shake their heads
and I can hear their laughter and all that they say
"How could someone act is such a childish way"
But I won't let my life be defined by age
When we hit the dance floor
we will take your breath away
when we start dancing like Elaine
and it might not be
the next big dance craze
but we will still be dancing like Elaine
And I will admit
that it probably won't catch on
#whitepeoplecantdance on instgram
and you can joke, you can mock, you can say what you will
will your arms crossed and your stink face
wishing you were someplace else

So go tell you brother
because you sister she still doesn't know
we're all connected
to one another
even if we hail from different shores
Belief in the race,
the human race to elevate some hate
if thats the case
lets clean the slate
and not justify our past
with future mistakes
It must be
engrained in our
DNA to look the other way
Because we
have a tendency
to rather break before we bend
To all
We're already involved
there is no mystery to solve
so if we don't evolve
the earth with still revolve
but stagger to a crawl
its the calm before the storm
ah shit man here it comes
So don't
let your mouth
write a check you ass is going bounce
the sand
in the hourglass
grain by grain is falling so fast
and it could just be my feet
but something here really stinks
we need to start to repair
to clear the air in here

One of the Lucky Ones
04:45
|
|||
|
No it doesn't have to exist
unless you let it
slowly creep in your mind
like the previous times
but I learned the hard way
to just leave things behind
and so
I will just let it go
before
it starts to take a toll
I will go
to the place I call home
slow and low
will always be the tempo
and I must be one of the lucky ones
I am grateful
as I look to the sky
for the ones around me
that have influenced my life
and what they have meant
but not to offend
because I implore
one and one
to think for yourself
