yrics: Brown

Said I'm feelin' so fine...

Bright lights, they hypnotize
Take I away from these earthly vibrations
Dark skin and seductive eyes
Just a glance in an irie situation

I know that it's just for tonight
But the feeling, it feels so right

Find a girl that I don't need to chase
Catch my breath and slip away
Find a girl with a beautiful face...

I took a trip, but not to stay
I found myself falling so quickly
A night so hot, I melted away
I woke up feelin' so silently sleeping

Just when I thought I had her to myself
I realized that I'm just a stock on her shelf

Find a girl that I don't need to chase
Catch my breath and slip away
Find a girl with a beautiful face...

Dubamphetamine
Lyrics: Nelson

Listen up now, it's rising from the streets
It's consumed our minds, put a nation to sleep
People still hiding from what they don't know
Treating sickness with poison, choking on the unknown

One hit to medicate your brain
One hit to keep yourself insane

Around our necks there's a swinging noose
That tightens each moment that we're holding the fuse
To our very destruction: complete alienation
Isolated from the world without realization

But the sun keeps risin' over blood red streets where I've been
Pacing and wandering for days and for nights
Restless and weary and losing my sight
I'm so sick of living like my vision is blurred
Unsure of whether to stand up and fight
Walking the line of what's wrong and what's right

And these thoughts keep rushing through my head
Shadows left unseen, living through a dream
Societal amphetmine
Keeps rushin' through my veins, echoes in my brain
Part of the machine
Societal amphetamine

Who are we to question a lie?
We sleep hypnotized by visions and voices without asking why
We're staring into the sun

It's the decade of turning your eyes the other way
Of pointing your finger but never taking the blame
Blindfolding the public, the questioning eye
Sacrificed at the price of the ideals we live by
Too many years (our faces pressed to the pavement)
Of hiding from fears (of an urban imprisonment)
Drugged by the scene (high on amphetamines)
To live on (brainwashed)
As the whole world watched...

Voices fucking with my head
VIsions unexplained
The world has gone insane...

Surrounded by hypocrisy
Needles that sedate and words that disfigure
Submission to deception, you see,
Is no different from a finger on a trigger

Watching, waiting so long (we fade into the atmosphere)
Living life in endless slumber
Knowing nothing, searching (but hiding from the world we fear)
Falling, spinning (here we come again)

Life We Live
Lyrics: Brown

If you could see inside my mind
Don't push for shit that you can't find
'Cause my sleeves are wearin' thin
And everybody knows just where I've been
You feel it all now coming back
Your head gets dumb and your vision's black
Only one thing left to do...

Home, I've got to, home, I've got to stir it up
Oh but I can't, say, I have
Home, I've got to, home, I've got to live it up
You've got to love the life you live

They say you're sayin' that you won't give in
The water's risin' and you cannot swim, but
Do not worry 'cause you'll find your way...

So I tell 'em that I'm writing
Y'know I'm trying, but my head it runs too thick
Don't know why I keep on lying
'Cause all this while, my pen's been out of ink
And now I know it's so clear to see
Who brings those vibrations closer to me
'Play the part and they let you in...'

Love me in the morning when the feeling is right
I come around with some lovin', 'cause that's enough for me

Home, I've got to, home, I've got to stir it up
Oh but I can't, say, I have
Home, I've got to, home, I've got to live it up
You've got to love the life you live

Out of the Gutter
Lyrics: Brown, Shuster

On the streets of Kaimuki late at night
If you're up and walking round you'll probably see this sight:
A grooup of greasy motherfuckers dressed in black
You better turn and walk away if you don't wanna get scrapped

They come up from the gutters and they creep into the night
The Leprechaun and his crew are out lookin' for a fight

Better not step to their face
'Cause they think they own the place
Don't want them to come hunt you down
Just wait till we get our crew
Everyone I ever knew
Tell me what you think of me now

If you're going to a show to see some bands play
Leprechaun is in the crowd up in everyone's face
Try to ignore him and don't get in his way
'Cause if you fuck with him, this is what he'll say:

'They tell me that I'm crazy, oh my god, I'm crazy
I'm just another mental motherfucker sometimes'

Damn, I know he's right
'Cause I saw him late one night
Barking at cars in the street as they drove by
What could be in their minds to make them act this way at times?
What happened to the little boys and girls they used to be?

All these motherfuckers, man.
Violence ain't the way, man.
Stop punching me in the face, man.

Take a fuckin' breather
Think about how you act
Not everything in life has to be a full attack
Start acting like a mature human being
And not the ignorant gremlin that I keep on seeing

High Steppin'
Lyrics: Brown

Oh, I know it's alright for me
To cast away my mind, let the music set me free
But I've been, been gone for way too long
To remember the words I wrote to my own song

So take your time but hurry up
Your life is running from you
Hold on tight, keep me in sight
And you might make it through the night
The music pounds inside my head
I don't remember what was said
I see the light, it's shining clear
Tells me the morning sun is here

And they've taken away all my fire
But they're telling me to take it higher
But I know the reggae rhythm
Is what keeps me livin'

High steppin' till the morning comes
High steppin' never hurt no one
High steppin', take those steps real high
High steppin' till the day I die

I know we close our eyes and go
Just where, Just where the river flows

So he said 'This is how it shall be:
You take what is yours and leave the rest for me'
But we knew it was hypocrisy
Tellin' only lies took so long for us to see

The bassline drops, it's hard to breathe
5th Freedom's got you on your knees
You beg for more music so pure
'Cause reggae music is the cure
Which breathes you life and lets you see
This rhythm's taking over me
It's all I hear and all I know
I've grabbed a hold and won't let go
