intro [12]
Little boy blue come blow that horn
Verse 1- [16]
Four Score, Several years ago
I was a boy full of joy just playing with little toys
I lived the kind of life most would want to live
it was a time, when it was cool to be a kid
what I did was hang with my friends, me the twins
Clay, Kevin, Kenny we were no more than ten
once again, times were good just to be a kid
my friends and I thought times would never end.
But I think I had it too good, became too wise
started looking at the world from grown folks eyes
realized, that things were real messed up
dramatized, to find out I'm a spirit stuck
in a world, where people buy guns, killing folks for fun,
you a punk if you run but if you don't you dumb
I was stunned, became confused
stuck on planet earth, with the little boy blues
1st Chorus
I got the little boy blues
Verse 2 -[16]
How could this happen to a guy like me
I was a K I D from the windy city, just trying to be
the best that I could be, don't want no damn misery
following me, bothering me, naw
don't want to think about the drama of life
which religion is right what cause to fight
I just wanna ride my bike, all day and night
go to the park and try to be like Mike but nope,
they got me thinking about politics, what I call poly-tricks
men in suits given out a quick fix
manipulating the mass so fast don't laugh
they got their hands on every little thing we try to have
And I can see this as a child, meanwhile
you can't see, hell, I'm asking how
I can stop from getting depressed when I watch the news
stuck on planet earth, with the little boy blues
2nd Chorus
I got the little boy blues
its just the little boy blues
I got the little boy blues
little boy blues come blow that horn
Verse 3
Suddenly a feeling came over me and I felt strange
a voice whispered in my head, 'life is just a game
so play the game, learn the game, master the game
rule number one the only thing constant is change
so I changed my way of thinking around
ain't no universal right, somebody's up is down
somebody big is small, somebody's good is bad
so if somebody disagrees with me I don't get mad
at nobody, cause everybody somebody with a mind
trying to find they own peace of mind
this was just a little piece of my mind
little boy blues come blow that horn
3rd Chorus
keep blowing that horn (x3)
I got the little boy blues
its just the little boy blues
I got the little boy blues
its just the little boy blues - Track Name: Hero
-
Verse 1
Yo time out! I need a break, I gotta escape
I gotta learn to step a way, before its to late
I hate, to say this but it needs to said
words need to be heard or soon im dead
my head gone explode, implode from the inside
I can't keep supporting grow folks lives
I've realized, I'm just your crutch
and you depending on me just a little too much
so what we gotta do is make a little change u see
ya so comfortable you don't know that you using me
I let it go because we friends, like family
but now its time to learn self responsibility
[Chorus x2]
I can't be ya Hero no more
I can't unlock every door,
Yo, I've always given my best
but I aint got no S on my chest
(I need a rest)
Verse 2
since childhood we been good
what's mine is yours that was understood
u could, depend on me when times got tough
I assumed the same but I didn't need you much
and your luck got worse with time
you commit crimes, I'm paying fines
and every time you saying it aint your fault
and since you got no money it aint your lost
I thought it'd get better when ya little shorty came along
be an example so the child wouldn't do wrong
but I was wrong, ya still doing what ya did
and I'm left, feeding you and your kid
so what it is, what its gone be
its gotta be changes with you and me
how we gone get ya life back on track
and can I claim you on my income tax
[Chorus x2]
I can't be ya Hero no more
I can't unlock every door,
Yo, I've always given my best
but I aint got no S on my chest
(I need a rest)
[Verse 3]
I can't be Superman, understand
you a grown azz man, make a plan
and try to stand on yo two feet
aint ya tired sleeping on my couch and eat what I eat
I keep on telling people that you really do try
but after 10 years an excuse is a lie
you wonder why, I never settled down
cuz a grown azz kid with a kid is around
now, I don't wanna put a strain on our relationship
but we gotta make some changes and I'm talking quick
I can't keep this going, no not like this
we are broken and we cant go without a fix
so this is your intervention please pay attention
listen, oh did I mention
I still love ya man, I always will
but ya gotta help a brother pay some of these bills for real
[Chorus x2]
I can't be ya Hero no more
I can't unlock every door,
Yo, I've always given my best
but I aint got no S on my chest
(I need a rest)
[Outro]
This song is dedicated to all my peps out there who got family or friends who leaning on them just a little too much.
I know its hard, but sometimes we gotta show the ones we love, a little tough love
and giving tough love is a way of showing that you love yourself
and hopefully that tough love will help develop some personal responsibility within them
Because in the end, everyone is responsible for themselves
its fine to have a shoulder to lean on, or to be a shoulder for others to lean on
but its not your job to be a Hero.
You CAN be a hero. But don't make it your job to BE a hero
because those you start expecting a Hero, are those who stop accepting personal responsibility. Believe that - Track Name: What U Gone Do G

chorus
What You Gone Do G
Verse 1
What ya’ll keep asking me
What you fools want to know about G
What's the deal with the 3rd degree
acting like ya'll never seen the birth of a deity
So tell me what you want to know
but don't hate if ya don't feel my flow
cause it ain't for everybody
but its for somebody, even if its just one body
so if not you its him
and if it ain't him then its one of them
but it won't be all of ya'll
cause the chosen are few, though many will be called
So is it you. You, you,
well what about you?
you may not understand
cause I'm here to reach the soul, not the man.
chorus
What You Gone Do G
Verse 2
people want to know and that's why they ask
people get nosey and that's when I laugh
cause to me its funny,
folks living their life for the love of money
Not in it for riches and fame
not trying to be a legend in this game
I won't even be here to long
I'm a writer so I write, but soon, I'm gone
don't need to be seen
Ain’t got no tatts or no bling
But I gotta little message to bring
and those with a ear will hear, know what I mean
chorus
What You Gone Do G
They keep asking me, they wont stop asking me
Verse 3
Bigger than a Titanic but I won't sink
called Einstein when I think
I sacrifice like a Christ so your soul is saved
and I'm cooler than the Fonz on Happy Days
But I ain't about me, see
that's why they asking 'what ya gone do G'
but its quite elementary
my job on your planet is L O V E
so, there no more guessing
and I hope that answered your question
and soon you'll know as well
about Z A B D I E L
chorus
What You Gone Do G - Track Name: Change The Game

Intro
Hey, you ever feel like you're in this world, but you're not of this world. I mean, you see and hear things that don't make sense. And everybody around you think its normal and that's the way it should be. But something inside you is telling you, that something's not right. something is not adding up. the way the society operates is backwards.
Verse 1
for 20 years I was hypnotized by lies
took another 20 to focus my eyes
to see beyond the smoke beyond the veil
cuz I can tell that hell is just a fairy tell
many things I was told -- untrue
many things they did, they didn't do
I had to go question everything, cause it seemed
this whole damn world was just a dream
filled with phony information about a nation
who's bent on total domination
they are determined to rule all of earth
look around, they bullshit about to work
the masses don't have a clue of what to do
many called, chosen few
and I was called, so I gotta job to do
so I'm a tell you what I know to be true
chorus
Change the Game, remove his reign (x3)
Change the Game, break the damn chains
Verse 2
Break away from the herd, that's what you heard
the sheep who sleep, cannot hear these words
and those who tone deaf, get left
and if ya didn't get left still watch ya step
cause on a slippery slope many fall
ya call it hickory smoke, its still a hog
and I don't dine on the swine at any time
and what they doing to food should be a crime
corporations kill for dollar bills
they guide the hand of the man on capitol hill
so the government money is spent
for the group that controls the president
the left and the right are not in a fight
politics is the game, I don't like
Democrats are Pepsi, Republican's Coke
I can't tell the difference cuz both are a joke
chorus
Change the Game, remove his reign (x3)
Change the Game, break the damn chains
[Red, White, Blue; I see you (x3)
Red, White, Blue; who controls you
Verse 3
I can see, what most can't see, see
so don't expect me, to play nicely
don't want your glamour and glitz, or ya gifts
I'm well aware that you can shape shift
I'm here to wake those who don't wanna sleep
those who don't wake you are free to keep
don't wanna play your game cause its insane
to want your fame if its locked in a gold chain
don't want to be a mental slave no more, no
I found the keys to unlock that door
I'm making duplicates that's legit
only for my peps who want an exit
so if ya really want to go, lets go, yo
my only job is to make sure that you know
you a spark of divinity fly with me
if ya want to set your mind free
chorus
Change the Game, remove his reign (x3)
Change the Game, break the damn chains
[Red, White, Blue; I see you (x3)
Red, White, Blue; who controls you
Check Zeitgeist, its nice (x4)
Zeitgeist Movement, Venus Project... check'em out
(audio clip from Peter Joseph)
Out-tro
Yeah its time to change the game. But changing the game, you can't focus on changing the external world. Its about First making a change internally. Like Ghandi said, you must be the change you wish to see in the world. Its about being honest with yourself. Its about changing who you are. That savior you're looking for lives within you..... Change the Game - Track Name: You Betta Ask Somebody
-
[Dr. King]
Verse 1
best be informed, best to know
yo people you ain't equal if you mentally broke or poor
time to step up in the game but ya cant
cuz ya think that the game is cash and fame, it ain't
the world is mental, you're mentally enslaved
freedom ain't free if a price is paid
mind bankrupt, spirit corrupt, so what up
you don't give a fuck because you say you made a buck
you say its all about the dollar bill, that's how you feel
ya say you love green paper, but is it real?
When our economy hit the tank, who ya think
gone pay the price for the failed banks
Chorus
if you don't know what this song is all about
you betta ask somebody
if you don't know what the hell I'm talking about
you betta ask somebody
if you don't know what this song is all about
you betta ask somebody
if you don't know then I know what you about
you betta ask somebody
Verse 2
knock knock, open up ya mental door
I'm here to educate my people, so they can know
the time is now, are you ready,can ya feel this flow
and I'm sorry but some of yall cant go
it ain't a message for the masses, these classes
ain't for all, so if you got to ask this
it might be information that you cannot comprehend
but you can bob ya head to the beat and play pretend
but for those that are in the know, feel the flow
hold on tight, the system gone blow
recognize the game, represent ya name, release the pain
break the chain as we vibrate to another plane
Chorus
if you don't know what this song is all about
you betta ask somebody
if you don't know what the hell I'm talking about
you betta ask somebody
if you don't know what this song is all about
you betta ask somebody
if you don't know then I know what you about
you betta ask somebody
[Malcolm X]
Verse 3
ya say money is the key to life, money gonna make it right
money is needed to get everything you like
so now money is god in life
they advertise American dream, but you bought hype
U have been hypnotized by glamour, glitz
and blitz by marketing that keeps mind fixed
on shit that ain't legit and quick to rip on those
who know the emperor has no damn clothes
So I'm a educate on what I feel is really true
lies and secrets of the red, white, and the blue
hidden agendas of some you thought you knew
and if u can't comprehend then it ain't for you
most don't want to hear they can't accept what's going on
they want somebody to tell them what is right or wrong
so if you can't comprehend what's in this song
you are sheep who sleep, so move along
but for those that can understand, see the plan
of a man who don't give a damn
make a stand, show the world what ya got
I represent like Huey from the Boondocks
Chorus x2
if you don't know what this song is all about
you betta ask somebody
if you don't know what the hell I'm talking about
you betta ask somebody
if you don't know what this song is all about
you betta ask somebody
if you don't know then I know what you about
you betta ask somebody

Visualize
Verse 1
Imagine, your life
if you knew everything was gone turn out right
Imagine reality without the tv
telling you subconsciously, lies and hypocrisy
Imagine, your dreams
if you knew they were true and tangible things
Imagine if you really knew what was really true
that our reality is made up by me and you
Chorus
Close your eyes and visualize
Verse 2
Use your mind to create the world you wanna see
you must be everything you claiming for your g.o.d.
you are a spark of divine, and its time
to unleash and release, the powers of your own mind
but first, you must control thoughts at all cost
let spirit run the mind or you'll be lost
focus on the positive do not take but give
focus is the key for the life you wanna live
and now imagine what this world would be
if we focus on unity, visualize with me
Imagine a world of love, and no fear
imagine if the thought of hate wasn't here
imagine if folks got along
remember poverty, imagine that its all gone
imagine if people really want peace
imagine if we stop lying thru our teeth
imagine a government with no defense
imagine religion with common sense
its time to rethink everything that we know
its time for the monetary system to go
its time to be the change we wanna see
visualize with me, our new reality
Chorus
Verse 3
Its time to put our abilities to the test
time to manifest, time to clean up our own mess
we can lean on faith, I agree, but wait
we're still responsible for the hate that we create
so its time to make things anew, speak what's true
you want changes, get a mirror take a look at you
realize that our lives are lives
controlled by guys unwise, that hypnotize with lies
but we don't have to take this crap
visualize with me, wake up from ya nap, come on
Imagine a world of love, and no fear
imagine if the thought of hate wasn't here
imagine if folks got along
remember poverty, imagine that its all gone
imagine if people really want peace
imagine if we stop lying thru our teeth
imagine a government with no defense
imagine religion with common sense
its time to rethink everything that we know
its time for the monetary system to go
its time to be the change we wanna see
visualize with me, our new reality
Chorus - Track Name: Fly With Me
-
verse 1
Up, Up and Away do I go, or do I stay
I don't know, so
I gotta take the people where they never been before
prepare Self, cuz man we about to go
and ya mind, it don't wanna go, no
but ya spirit is crying for mo, so

naw ya gotta change it up, get up
go to school, learn a trade, get off ya butt
eliminate ya doubt, weed the worry out
and make a plan, to get ya butt up out of mommas house

time to become a Divine Being, know what I mean
so if ya feeling this vibration
consider this your hip hop meditation.
Chorus
If the life that you live ain't what you think it should be
throw'em up, and fly with me
Verse 2
I ain't the one you looking for
unlike before I gotta give ya much more
then a simple song cause something really wrong
you can't see what I see what's going on
what you're seeking, don't exist, unknown
Your bank is busted so I'm giving you a.... loan
Your like a puppy so I'm throwing you a... bone
You're like a seed that was planted, but now you’re grown
so say goodbye to your yesterday cuz today
is a day you will say 'I don't care what others say.'
it is the day you will celebrate your escape
you're now free of the hate, but hold up wait
it ain't gone always be easy, believe me
challenges will come, but it is not misery
they are designed to help create maturity
so when they come, throw them hands up and fly with me
Chorus
If the life that you live ain't what you think it should be
throw'em up, and fly with me
Break
[Michael Beckwith]
verse 3
Its time you touched the sky, live with a natural high
You gotta know you a spirit that was born to fly
eliminate ya doubt, don't be afraid to try
learn to trust you will know every reason why
You a child of the G O D One with eternity,
reclaiming your divinity
and if they can't see what you see,
just agree to disagree throw your hands up and fly with me
so if you didn't know, but you ready to know
GET UP, THROW THEM HANDS UP
if ya, ready to let the world know you a pro
GET UP, THROW THEM HANDS UP
And if ya, ready to reveal and fulfill your destiny
GET UP, THROW THEM HANDS UP
And if you're ready to release and unleash your divinity
GET UP, THROW THEM HANDS UP
Come Fly with me...

-
verse 1
Forgive me Father for I SINNED
once again I don't deny it so the healing can begin
I seek forgiveness cause my words, thoughts, and acts
was jacked, so I retract
and make amends with my family and my friends
or anyone that I offend let my therapy begin
as I sooth the wounds that my actions have afflicted
I was in error, I admit this
see I'm a man with much clout
But sometimes ya gotta humble out
I went within to amend these feelings I felt
And Got Anita, to help me express myself
Chorus
Forgive me for what I done, please forgive me for what I done
Forgive me for what I done, please forgive me for what I done
Give me a chance cause I've seen the light
Given a chance I'll make things right
I did wrong its well known, I hurt you it is true
but let me earn back the trust that I took from you.
verse 2
The past, its in the past but its presence
is present and represent what ya took for granted
many lies were told, some small, some bold
You should have just come clean but ya lost control
And now you lost the love you wanna get back
but you ignored the facts and so the lies they stacked
in fact you kept them coming, you were drumming up more lies
the truth you deny, many tears she would cry
And now your butt is all alone
You wonder why your lover's gone
Go within and amend those feelings you felt
And get Anita to help you express yourself
Chorus
Forgive me for what I done, please forgive me for what I done
Forgive me for what I done, please forgive me for what I done
Give me a chance cause I've seen the light
Given a chance I'll make things right
I did wrong its well known, I hurt you it is true
but let me earn back the trust that I took from you.
verse 3
You see, we live and learn the game of life
you got wrongs and rights, you got days and nights
and everything in between, and it seems when you figured it out
life throws a curve and creates more doubt and out
comes the feelings of guilt, shame, blame,
and then you realize that you losing the game and pain
creeps in your mind and you try to defend
and that's when, you hurt one you call a friend
Chorus
Give me a chance cause I've seen the light
Given a chance I'll make things right
I did wrong its well known, I hurt you it is true
but let me earn back the trust that I took from you.
Forgive me for what I've done, please forgive for what I've done.. (repeats)
