Shootin rays, everyday
Killing negativity
Imma raise vibrations
Walk down the street, we got southern hospitality
And that's why I live in New Orleans
Uh huh
And people wave, and they say, hi 5 times a day
Like it's the 1st time that you saw them
Don't miss a beat, tell them hustlas "ya got ya shoes on-yo-feet"
And make'em pay ya 5 dollars
Uh huh
When I die, betta play, "Ill fly Away" and be late
Celebrate me right - man I've lived my life in this city
Imma raise, raise, raise, raise
Imma raise vibrations
Shootin rays, everyday
Killing negativity
Imma raise vibrations
Verse 2
We got that sauce
A pot of Gumbo and a brew for you
And you'll like what we're cooking, yeah
Grind the groove till the sun comes up
Keep on dancing if the beat don't stop
That's how we do it in New Orleans
On the stoop, in the street, with a second line beat
Sending out love to the people we meet
Hello Baby! How you doing?
I know you, you know me, it's all good we're family
Join the freedom nation, raise

There's something 'bout the way
the Sun brings the day
And blisses this place
(blisses this place)
With butterfly blues, and dragonfly hues
The fairies will test you
Magic, in the morning
(morning)
Is what I need
To help me, to be
The best that I can truly be
I,don't know
(oh, oh-oh)
What it is, about this place
(oh, oh-oh)
Like myrrh to gold
(oh, oh-oh)
It's my frankincense
(ah, ah)
I don't wanna leave
(I don't wanna leave)
No, no
Abita's calling me
(Abita's calling me)
Oh I don't wanna leave
(I don't wanna leave)
No, no
I don't wanna leave
A portal entry
Atlantis awaits
Come ride the wave
(come ride the wave)
A hotel for you
California soothes
Those heart chakra blues
Love from the Temple
(temple)
As decreed
To be a healing place
For those in need
I, dont know
(oh, oh-oh)
What it is, about this place
(oh, oh-oh)
Like myrrh to gold
(oh, oh-oh)
It's my frankincense
(ah, ah)
I don't wanna leave
(I don't wanna leave)
No, no
Abita's calling me
(Abita's calling me)
Oh I don't wanna leave
(I don't wanna leave)
No, no
I don't wanna leave
(Rap)
I don't ever wanna ever leave
Feels like, when I found this place
I found a better me, and a stellar part of history
Never, mind the trickery
It's just a watsu massage
Relax amongst the ambiance
Now this got you hypnotized
Let down, your guard, and take off your clothes
Gain spiritual growth
The exchange is part of your soul
Beware of false rituals
Especially if your skin is brown
They use the power of the full moon
Some kind of sundown town
Northshore sacred grounds
Tried to warn them they didn't believe ya
Feel the wind, like Katrina
Feel the wind, in Abita
Like myrrh, to gold
(Ah, ah)
It's my frankincense
(Oh, oh-oh)
Oh, I, oh no, I
(Ah, ah oh, oh-oh)
I, oh I, oh my
(Ah, ah, ah)
I don't wanna leave
(I don't wanna leave)
No, no
Abita's calling me
(Abita's calling me)
Oh I don't wanna leave
(I don't wanna leave)
No, no
I don't wanna leave
I, don't wanna leave
(I don't wanna leave)
I, don't wanna leave
No
(abita's calling me)
Don't wanna leave
I, don't wanna leave
(I don't wanna leave)
No, no
I don't wanna leave
(don't wanna leave)
I don't wanna ever leave

The Water

She goes by the name of Indigo
Laying her dolls on the riverside
Betcha she knows the name of each one
Sure as a mama filled with pride
Her dolls make her oblivious to stares
And nothing else matters, she has no cares
In a small town, where nosy people wonder
Little do they know their world is going under
Mama
(mama)
Oh can you hear me?
Oh I know that a flood is gonna come
(ooh)

Destroying the life we've known

Oh yeah, I've seen the water
Girl blue with a timeless soul
Channeling powers from Yemaya side
Goddess tears after soaking up the sun
Lightning's near ya better hide
June 7th was to fall on Saturn day
And only she knew, spirit had shown her the way
A reckoning will come for dissing Mother
Don't bow now, ya better run for cover

Remember, Remember

I was born, on the 5th
The 5th of November
I aint no Fawkes, but my Daddy's named Guy
Pure serendipity
I felt different as a child
A shy skinny young thing
With books I ran away from life
I did my own thing
Oh I remember
Oh I remember
One stormy night, when I was five
I had some company
Two visitors asked me to leave
To leave my family
And I told them no, I would not go
They could not trick me
And so I curled down, on my knees
So brave til the Sun came
I've, felt different, most of my whole life
Like there is something, I am supposed to remember
I remember, I remember
The 5th of November
I remember, remember
Three nights into, a New Year
I found myself fighting sleep
Set on my couch, and next I believe
that something was riding me
A realm stole, and locked up my soul
And She couldn't get to me
My ancestors, Grandma Josephine and Emma saved me
I've, felt different, most of my whole life
Like there is something, I am supposed to remember, yeah
I remember, I remember
The 5th of November
I remember, remember
I remember, I remember yeah
That 5th of November
I remember, remember
I remember
The 5th of, the 5th of November
I remember, remember
Oh I remember
I was born, on the 5th
The 5th of November

Rue the Day

From the moment we locked eyes
Spirit felt she knew you
Familiar woe
Karmic bound, for certain you
An akashic fate
Bearing a psychic warning
You're gonna rue the day now
Rue
(rue)
Rue, the day
Close my eyes before you see me
Protect my heart and walk away
And save myself from that pain
Eye know loving you won't be easy
I've seen the lies and the pain
Will find a way, to tear me up
Block out my sunshine
Yes we
(we)
We might've had a history
A history of lies
I feel inside
Every time I look into your eyes
And you
(you)
You'll never know the truth
Cause you're blind
And not aligned
With your spiritual side
(spiritual side)
Your spiritual side
Eye
Erase binding and
Invoke my healing
'Cause my father
Instilled in me
To be his reason
His reason for
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
You take, away, the moon, the sun, still shines, brighter
(take, away, the moon, the sun, still shines)
But take away the sea, then Earth will be lonely
(and take away the sea, then earth will be lonely)
No Ra, Thoth can not be, born a baby
(no ra, thoth can not be, born a baby)
Ground my soul completely
(ground my soul completely)
Ashè Oh, He leave me
(ashè oh, he leave me)
My ancestors guide me all the way
Yes we
We might have had a history
A history of lies
I feel inside
Every time I look into your eyes
And you
You'll never know the truth
Cause you're blind
And not aligned
With your spiritual side
And We

Might've been
Anything

Lying
03:54

|
You keep hoping, that one day he'll change his ways
He'll wake up, and come back to you
You know nothing ever stays the same
Wishing that it wasn't true
Sleepless nights, still waking up to call his name
Even tears still fall right on que
Dreams of him are all that remain in view
He'll go out with that girl don'tcha worry
She'll never have what it is I do yeah, yeah
You're lying, you're lying, you're lying to yourself, yeah
You're lying, you're lying, you're lying, to yourself
You've moved on, or so you thought with what's his face
Filling holes, ignoring the truth
Deep inside, you know you'll never feel the same
Wishing that it wasn't true
Trying hard, not to call out his name
Daydreams are what get you through
Days are full of fighting love untrue
He'll go out with that girl don'tcha worry
She'll never have what it is I do yeah, yeah
You're lying, you're lying, you're lying, to yourself
You're lying, you're lying, you're lying, to yourself
You're lying, you're lying, you're lying to yourself, yeah

When she walks into a room
Her presence fills the space
She doesn't have to say a word
Her rank made known through grace
Now's the time
So say your prayer
To every diety you know
The bell will toll
And so it goes
And so it goes
Yeehaw
Better run run run run run run run
Betta run, Betty, Betty Betty better run
Better run run run run, oh betta run

Oh, better run
Oh Betty, Betty better run

The saints cannot save you

Straight through the heart as she plunges her sword
Handing the reaper his pay
Now

There's no way out
And so
It goes
It goes
Better run run run run, oh better run
Oh Betty, Betty better run

Our lives are hustle-bustle go
with no signs of slowing down
Hashtags, memes, and must-see shows, make the world go round
Distracted, everybody, is on their phone
We seem so connected, but we really are alone
Put 'em down, go outside
(oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
hug a tree, and take a Sunday ride
Log off, get offline, reconnect with your mind
(oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
And wake up
(wake up)
Reclaim your mind
(oooh)
Vacate your seat off this carousel ride
(oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
Don't be late
(don't be late)
We're running out of time
(oooh)
You better cut cord
(cut cord)
And untether, yeah
(and untether)
Roaring were there 20s a century ago
Twin year beginning sincere then Corona stopped the show
Lock down, protests, what's next who knows?
Year 2020, its clear anything goes
Gather round, now is the time
(oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
Speakeasy state of mind
New day, new paradigm
(oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Seek and so
shall you find!
And wake up
(wake up)
Reclaim your mind
(oooh)
Vacate your seat on this carousel ride
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
Don't be late
(don't be late)
'Cause we're running out of time
(oooh)
You better cut cord
(cut cord)

I will not Bend
03:09
|
|||
|
(chant intro)
No Liberty
For Those enslaved
Then civil war would declare them free
Begin the fight
For civil rights
No justice - no peace
Reagan blamed it on a crack epidemic; putting brown men in prison
Children growing up without a father
It's like they rigged the game to make it harder?
Yeah
I will not bend
No, no, no
I will not bend
No, no, no, no
And still today
we remain
complacent with, tyranny
As Michael said, on History
"They really don't care - about you and me"
Welfare, food stamps, and Public Housing
band-aid problems with the system
Programs, designed to keep a people down
And keep us from returning to the crown
Well
I will not bend
No, no, no, no
I must defend
Oh, to the end
I will not bend
Oh, I will not bend
I will not bend
No, no, no, no
