Ascending 03:18
As the light dawns upon the sahara And the lions and cheetas, they all rejoice It’s only natural, on discovery We wanna tell you the story, now follow me And the light of the sun will soon shine down, It’s only just a matter of time From Cape-town crossing all borders We’re gonna make it, just fine As the sun in the middle of the sky Embraces the plains in its glow We walk further down to the sea Wondering if we can have a shot at the ocean And the sand between our toes getting hotter And we need water, cool water No boats to take us where we wanna go But we can swim, as long as we look for…

Midnight Sun 04:00
All right, what is it so far? So far we have been dropping multiple bars We might make it to mars Just keep life on the down low Roads already set out of maternity wards Three forces united in a master sword We just have to find the soul And you know just what light it takes Live at night like it’s the day A few cool ones and I will stay Bare feet, I don’t mind the rain All your problems flushed away By the midnight sun We might sleep, but there’s no time for rest You got to keep your cool, on the path of succes That means you and me, we will be the best Don’t care for no other man It’s just that, clouds start to form and the sun gets muddy Can’t even hardly see or spot, all the people who love me Like us, They will never forget where they’re coming from Homes, houses, kids or spouses Lie about your wheres and look up to the sky Spot your own miracles with your own eyes Live at night like it’s the day A few cool ones and I will stay Bare feet, I don’t mind the rain All your problems flushed away By the midnight sun

Cut 01:13

No sisters, no brothers No mothers, no lovers Mama used to say that the only way Was to love in the night and day Yes, the light might cover your face, But darkness shines in deeper water Even with your face down Now that you’re all grown up Big money, empty bottles and a full cup I might even join the club But only to write your wrongs I’ll write, seventy novels on your life as it is Heartache, neglection and it’s hard to break I can hardly state the things that I still like about you And off of that, I try to jump We try to give you that bump But you kept jumping on the crossbars While we spent paper on a life made up We don’t need no people to tell us what to think know, wish, do, we can build our own empire We don’t need no people to tell us what to think know, wish, do, real family will takes us higher No-one seems to bother, as I slide through caves of eternal sorrow I can’t summon the spirit of my significant other I have no brothers The madhouse that we call home is populated by the so-called warriors of innocent minds and one day we will find that those who faught for glory will be the death of our own human kind No-one is kind How do we teach our kids if all we know is being tought? Being tought by the hands of our parents and creators Being tought by those who claim not to be the purpetrators Stay inside, where you’ll hide the fact that art is not your best wife While we’re watching stars you’re looking straight into the sun, son We don’t need no people to tell us what to think Know, wish, do, we can build our own empire We don’t need no people to tell us what to think Know, wish, do, real family will takes us higher

Shatter 03:31
Stuck on this road, no warning signs Same melody that’s in our minds What if we all just held the same hands? When we all sing different songs Close your eyes and hope it gets better But when you crash just let the glass shatter In life it’s just a matter of waking up Cutting class got high once and now it’s all shaken up Born amongst the highest of classes They got several passes, fuck several asses Staring at these bars, I just wanna be free And we just wanna sing what if we sing out of key? Stevie Wonder told us, Sir Duke most of all As I wish upon another star, tell me who we are It’s that same shit that got us through, the same difference It’s the same person, just a different appearance Let us all enjoy that we can see a thing Light a car on fire, watch it burn while you sing Stuck on this road, no warining signs Same melody that’s in our minds What if we all just held the same hands? When we all sing different songs Close your eyes and hope it gets better But when you crash just let the glass shatter

Peace + Rest 02:12
Life No rest Peace No peace, no death If life has no rest, there’s no peace in death No death

We have said it more than once Start it from the top and you can see how we run Circles, lines, girls so fine We will never be done, so listen up Spend these days on em, when i lay on em Spending days on me, so dont sleep on me All these days for em, what we lay for em Days ahead for us, so dont sleep on us Spend these days on em, when i lay on em Spending days on me, so dont sleep on me All these days for em,what we lay for em All these bae’s for us, they’ll sleep on us So dont sleep on us Work around the clock, we rock Plenty of parties but no place to be … No bars, we will never be stopped Fly away like the free birds we are We go off to unknown lands Keep an eye on us as we go by cause we Spend these days on em, when i lay on em Spending days on me, so dont sleep on me All these days for em, what we lay for em Days ahead for us, so dont sleep on us Spend these days on em, when i lay on em Spending days on me, so dont sleep on me All these days for em,what we lay for em All these bae’s for us, they’ll sleep on us So dont sleep on us

FOTTVS 03:40
She said: I got a peach, but where did my mango? Hard to bury the stones, if all these melons show Would you let me rock you like a chili pepper? Strawberry swinging you Wouldn’t it be better? Pumpkin I don’t need to pay dimes Don’t you worry, I’ll be sweet like limes, so Just fucking in love Tomato, tomato, girl you know my motto If you’re fine as wine I’ll be eating grapes above your blueberry eyes And if the apple’s still close to the tree It’ll be a fruit festivity I know that I might be hard to cope But as long as you’re here I am willing To turn on the radio I just like to watch, and catch this feeling I got I don’t like cold over hot but I like you So let me turn on you and the radio Yerah See thanks to the banana we be shaking on the right, (right?) the hi-hats on the left, (to the left) the kick in the middle, so can you kick (Yes, you can!) with a clap and a beat, I mean a clap and a kickdrum, um, so yeah Yerah I’m just channeling these fruits on the TV-screen, but the colour ain’t orange It’s pink, out there to be seen, but why tell me why it’s just nature, or nurture I guess it’s just a wierd human kind of love, only we can understand but we’re in need of love, maybe form above? Wait…break it down I think we should stop dis-gussing and just stay good friends I know it seems bad, it actually is kinda wonderfull It’s kinda wonderfull But you have all of these people just thinking that the slick with the wax on I’m talking ‘bout the dudes that walk around with the hats off I’m trying to show off, turn all of the lights off, we should turn them back on But don’t you dare to turn your back on her, ‘cause she’s still humaine With a mind you can get inside of, like Pharrell though, still a G I R L who Can decide what ever she wanna do, ‘till the day that you start to fade away Body’s as deep as an 808, along with a snare too tight wanna get it in your nose But it ain’t too clear till overdose, like crystal, just do the meth hand you’ll crack the code But the wrong way, ‘cause you’re doing it white, so the right way will be doing it black, all right STOP OBJECTION. Let’s not race fast to conclusions Cool…

Sky Hi 02:08
Places where you stay Make me feel What you see And if I could choose in any way It would be you and me It’s just you and me Sitting in a tree Dreaming of Florida You ordered the Early bird You make me fly Sky Hi Baby can’t you see I ask you, gracefully If you’d be my double harmony I will pay for drinks today ‘cause it’s you and me Sitting in a tree Dreaming of Florida You ordered the Early bird You make me fly Sky Hi You recall holidays Miles above me is the girl I see She loves me, ain’t that the world to me We’ll conquer it together, forever There ain’t no better Let us fly so high in this blue blue sky And this is how we say bye bye Sky Hi
