Thinking of all my Peoples Lyrics by Samuel Nash Music by Fabien Préaux REFRAIN To all my people all over the world.. You're on time Keep a strong mind It's anotherloving long climb Right place at the wrong time Better than the wrong place Why the long face? Life's a short crime VERSE Got a couple Good friends with good times Good people what matters is good air and good lives Missed tape got a million mixtape got a couple Playing too much lotto is a whole(hole), lotta trouble Bubble wrap; poppin! No, get it shipped safe These words travel a world spinning round with this weight But the divine makes twists and turns and double-backs Used to sweat the little things, no time fi double traps Grizzly, Pharaoh Monche said get up on that grind date! Arrow blazing in a maze and racing on those lines straight Sometimes The sun times ain't good for nothin but a tan Free like this speech until you hear something from da man The glare is hard, one out of two ain't a bad one Think about my duns and the crews and the numb times Thinking to self, Somedays I and the I look Staring hard for a scar and an I-book REFRAIN To all my people all over the world.. You're on time Keep a strong mind It's anotherloving long climb Right place at the wrong time Better than the wrong place Why the long face? Life's a short crime VERSE Proof the weight Works out ya whole structure.. Clues are traits Now search out the whole function.. Dues are late No need to move in haste 21-1-3 different degrees Like breeze Keeps us moving and moving in and moving space To each and every point Every dot Every face, every pace and plot Out there, not wasting spots for squat Flip the craft and it becomes what a life-line is To my timeline, yo what up? Days ain't disattached The melees whistle past But he stoic and he know it So all heydays fit the grasp It's called no sleep You call, and won't cheep Bird was the word, all in all These rookies so sheep There's a subset Some call em jedis This dude Wolfgang with the slang always red-eyed The winner is the loser, not scared to fail What is success when at heart you know you suck less REFRAIN To all my people all over the world.. You're on time (Keep a) strong mind It's anotherlovin' long climb Right place at the wrong time Better than the wrong place Why the long face? Life's a short crime

This Man Lyrics by Samuel Nash Music by Fabien Préaux VERSE This man, he chose to walk away And it wouldn't be the end of the story so soon This man he chose to walk today The beginning of the end of his glory assumed Was right around the turn You can crash but your life ain't gotta burn He walked many miles with every step you gotta earn Didn't gawk at any styles, they talked too many times No need to listen to what you can't see You can see off those many faces; awkward metaphysics Everyone's got an opinion like a head to visit The point is, it's moving There is no point you can refer (to) Hey, there is no point that can occur Until you stop moving Still your top's moving You can drop two things or will you drop the third? Or will you stop to swerve Do we ever got the nerve to knock the next man? One ting can lead to another Not to flex man. Don't be so over-self righteous Don't be so over-self righteous REFRAIN Recognize we re-collide and that's a good ting Records ride but effort flies and that's a hood swing Kept the prize and repped the pride; the lie is good bling Yet to slide, we bet the tide will bring a good king(x2) VERSE The man is still walkin', staggering; near crawling The man ain't on the ball, is the man still balling? Anti-gravity, is the man still falling? Has he already fallen? Is that man just stalling? If life is a flight, then the push is a tall wind Or a summer soft breeze; smog as in Harlem No need the word stardom, we stars and we already smart Shine the light on blind eyes It's already art Don't be so over self. Don't be so over self. Don't be so over self, righteous man. REFRAIN Recognize we re-collide and that's a good ting Records ride but effort flies and that's a hood swing Kept the prize and repped the pride; the lie is good bling Yet to slide, we bet the tide will bring a good king(x2) and that's a good ting Records ride but effort flies and that's a hood swing Kept the prize and repped the pride; the lie is good bling Yet to slide, we bet the tide will bring a good king(x2) REPRISE Don't be so over self. Don't be so over self. Don't be so over self, righteous man.

Authorized to Win Lyrics by Samuel Nash Music by Fabien Préaux VERSE The reason that he left home remains Classified Classes fly Business class for jackets and dapper tie Assets high in the portfolio As goalies go A save can be valuable when the goalie and the goal need growth Clash with why, if you and you need to The I and I see you like eye and eye seize The need to clash one never ever can see thru the siege, true The better, better. Capiche dude? So its false like wetter weather But whether west or east The reach moves; Too often it offers to seek new Sleek rides to drive and dine; wine and street food. Street side like five and dime; climb and sweet mood Is a prize a prize or a matter of pride What are you searching for, Four to shatter the lie? Scatter the wide angle vision and gather the blind Rather than try tangle system lets chat with the (you fill in the rest). [mind] REFRAIN Hey, we are authorized to win(x2) And who pays the bi I ill Still Is it I or I?(x2) VERSE Give him a life angled different than lather and highs Within a knife angle, is the instance the camera dies When the camera's dead, head, no camera lies Like the way you angle your head and span with your eyes Not the way that we dread What is planned in reprise When revenge is served Cold justice is never hot Tepid at best we never separate separate messes We take the loss just over cost and step out our senses Why settle in the first place.. accepted defeat Except it is accepted deceit letting the cost repeat But we maintain And dont stop the rock Maintain While shots they flow "Watch your knot" REFRAIN Hey, we are authorized to win(x2) And who pays the bi I ill Still Is it I or I?(x2) REPRISE Now wonder How you keep from going under.. Now, now you wonder How to keep from going under (Melle Mel) *maintain the roots dont stop the roots DONT STOP THE ROOTS AND YOU GOT TO ROCKSTEADY

An exceptionally generous compilation, with over two hours of generally high quality afrobeat. And really, the Newen Afrobeat and Seun Kuti cover of Fela's Opposite People, is probably worth whatever you paid for the album, all on its own. dejavoodoo44
