Ice Cream

It's summertime
Come get your ice cream game on
It's warm outside
Come get your ice cream game on
Pick the flavors you desire
You deserve to have them all
A sesh with the ice cream maker
Talk a stranger into getting amarena
'Cause of its amazing flavor
The Caravaggio of taste in here
I can say that 'cause I got taste
We're demand and they're supply
Kids with their face against the counter
The man says that is not allowed
But he still says it with a smile
It's good in here
I mean, there's food in here
It's not consumerist foolery
Understand what the various flavors do to me
What if all ice cream were diamonds
They'd have no value anymore
It has strength in its numbers
And your life would improve
With unlimited ice cream this summer
'Cause that's the metaphor of ice cream
You go chocolate, vanilla
All of these flavors and layers
To that whole industry killer
And then when you're still a bit unsatisfied
With your choice
And he takes a look and he points
The one he thinks you will like
You pay, try, lick or you bite
The smell might be somewhat abnormal
You might have to warm up a bit
To the texture and the taste
Then you look up and embrace him
'Cause fuck, tastebuds in heaven and you're down with it
Eat it every day 'cause your parents won't allow it
This motherfucker wonker, you can do without him
There's no doubt about it
It's summertime
Come get your ice cream game on
It's warm outside
Come get your ice cream game on
Pick the flavors you desire
You deserve to have them all
Why shit on a flavor that others do like
Why pick the same one every day
Do you really think it would improve your life
If all other flavors went away
So why do you do that with people?
And illegal evil way, to play with your equals
And it's lethal, you're never better than ice cream
Stop thinking that you are supreme (Whoo)
You're not gonna pay for them
They're gonna pay for you
'Cause nothing in this world's for free
Price tags on equality
You're gonna want it
You're gonna need it
You're waiting for people to see it
This summer is not about ice (Cream)
This song is not what it seems (Cream)
Those summery carpe-diem (Cream)
Let them have their self esteem
It's summertime
Come get your ice cream game on
It's warm outside
Come get your ice cream game on
Pick the flavors you desire
You deserve to have them all
It's a sunny day, a sunny day
What can I get you?
Hi, wow! so many flavors
153 to be exact
Cone, cup, scoop it directly into your mouth?
Uh, cone, definitely!
But, like, what are your favorites?
I can't choose
Hmm... try the macarena, or the melanchaluia
Calahari, fettucini, salamander, Pinocchio
Or even the armadillo
Hmm...
You got chocolate?
Oh, hell yeah

Hold You Down
04:14

The crucifix on the wall
Freedom of expression
Religion but the manifestation is flawed
Christianity prevailing over Islam songs
I'm a Christian but I wanna preach equality for all
The signs of displacement forming society in a wasteland
We're dancing on our tiny graces
The rich man speaks up
The poor feeling like a fifteen year old boys, sick
Fuck the riches our paintings gonna drop
Hold up a minute we're gonna turn it up a notch
My right as a person of color
I feel the aggravation molding you, helping you devour
But who am I sitting on this pedestal
In a situation of misplaced good will
Desiring to be understood
In the corner cloaked in a hood
(Who's right, what's right, what should I believe)
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Blazing with the fire the dragons gave us
Balancing this elemental make up
Stopping to keep shop
But the dance can't be held up
It's me and you
Me with my tie and you with the groove
I stop for a moment to look
Reading like a closed book
Angular rhythms shaking this next hook
You liberate my thoughts mistook
So just come on and on and on and on
You can teach me songs of old
And the age capturing deceptions making us stay
Grazing to the sky
Dripping colors wherever we fly
Run to the trees
My acorn top
Flare tops you can't keep up.
How was it for you, we'll make it up to you
Just watch just watch
(Who's right, what's right, what should I believe)
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
(On tv, and radio, I've read the papers and magazines)
(I tried, but I'm still confused, what are the facts, how can I tell?)
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down

You Don't Know Me
04:09

[Verse 1]
A smack of the hand
Holding down the castles
Burning turrets too fast
Open the mind that sings in crack
The feeling is deceiving
Who's the one believing
Uncontrollable hysteria is the remedy
Creeping up vines
Bringing constraint in solidarity
A blinding feed is all that we can see
But it's he whose sprouting that political philosophy
In the streets when you scream
Blinding light, glowing by the night
Rich to rag, medicines
What's become of the moral badge
In your mind that you hide
Blend it with collage
Coming fast, conscious fight come too far
[Chorus]
You don't know me
Don't fight me
You don't know me
Can't hide me
You don't know me
Can't hide me
You don't know me
Don't fight me
[Verse 2]
If the dreamer can spread his wings to the sky
Can the devil beat his chest to be sure he's alive
Can he spit toward the free bird
Running round, making sounds
Delvishing in relish only he allows
Broken by the arrow, the snake is free
Uncompromising her reality
Letting her spirit speak free
The ghost of life that wants to see
Together we grew in simple harmony
Garnished with defeat
The aroma whistles and drips in the soul of the mind
And with a loud scream
We twist in the mist of the night
A rhythm divine, spiraling the crossroads of our spoiled mind
[Chorus]
You don't know me
Don't fight me
You don't know me
Can't hide me
You don't know me
Don't fight me
You don't know me
[Chorus]
You don't know me
Don't fight me
You don't know me
Can't hide me
You don't know me
Don't fight me
You don't know me
[Outro]
Don't fight me, don't fight me
Don't fight the light inside me
Don't fight me, don't fight me
Don't fight the light inside me
Don't fight me, don't fight me
Don't fight the light inside me
You don't know me

What We've Done
04:10

[Verse 1]
It’s a beautiful ride
The highs beat the lows
Let’s go, my spirit’s divine
Got the feeling to deliver
Max ultimatum
No divide and conquer
We’re coming in together
We’re coming to our centres
Feeling quick like quicksand
Got the essence of what I am
Got the masterplan like Stan she’s a fan
Of what I do, of who I am
I was dealt the saving hand
Slipping above the quicksand
Exploding with that turbulence
Mad spittin’, my name is well fittin’
Lord of the Rings, the finest of my kin, I’m winning
I’m winning a race that hasn’t begun
And I thank you for all that you’ve done
And for what we’ve become
[Chorus}
What we’ve done
Where we’ve been
Coming in together, we’re coming to our centres
Of what we’ve become, what we have done
What we’ve done
Where we’ve been
Coming in together, we’re coming to our centres
Of what we’ve become, what we have done
[Verse 2]
One, two, three, four
The feeling’s so uncontrollable
Only pleasant thoughts I’m holding them
Moulding them, to be about your smile
Your vibe, your shine
Pleasant visions in my mind
Pleasant visions for the first time
Like that I’m back at it again
Fresh vision of things
Being the same, two dates
I anticipate what may come late
Stuck in my head, overthinking’s my best friend
I should let go for my own sake, it’s not too late
Going over the same debate
Of who is and how I feel today
And I thank you for all the things that you’ve done
And I think you for what we’ve become
[Chorus]
What we’ve done
Where we’ve been
Coming in together, we’re coming to our centres
Of what we’ve become, what we have done
What we’ve done
Where we’ve been
Coming in together, we’re coming to our centres
Of what we’ve become, what we have done
[Interlude]
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on baby let down your hair now
Come on baby let down your hair now
Come on baby let down your hair now
Come on baby let down your hair now
Come on baby let down your hair now
Come on baby let down your hair now
Come on baby let down your hair now
Come on baby let down your hair now
[Chorus]
What we’ve done
Where we’ve been
Coming in together, we’re coming to our centres
Of what we’ve become, what we have done
What we’ve done
Where we’ve been
Coming in together, we’re coming to our centres
Of what we’ve become, what we have done
What we’ve done
Where we’ve been
Coming in together, we’re coming to our centres
Of what we’ve become, what we have done
What we’ve done
Where we’ve been

Whatever the Weather

[Verse 1]
Stripped away exterior
Making me inferior
Making me complacent
With my desperation
A storm's coming and taste it
And blast the mist
Don't resist
Takes a real guy to deliver this shit
How though, a pinch of truth
A pinch of peri peri Nando's juice
Namibian flavor brought to you
Talking shit around the fire
All the beers that we desire
Fourty stories every hour
Just imagine this power
Connecting together
Whatever the weather
Guess we know each other
When I'm with you
I feel as light as a feather
Straying the threads at the end of this story
My man king T'Challa ain't got no worries
Connecting together
Whatever the weather
With the Tafel lager
And the mountains by our side
[Chorus]
Whatever the weather
We don't have to make a change
Whatever the weather
Things won't always be the same
Whatever the weather
You don't have to read my mind
Whatever the weather
We're gonna leave this day behind
[Verse 2]
The way she's driftin'
As she's passing by
Crème de la crème
Perfection can't begin to deny
Making sense of the shadows she makes
Can't relate, the flavor couldn't be tamed
Holding the cards to deal
Real thrills excite my ears
Can I get with you
Or is eye contact my only avenue
Speaking the truth
Why does it feel like you're so far away
Getting to know you means I'd have to grip a PhD every day
And I thank you
You blew my mind
With that rhythmic device
That made me feel so fine
Connecting together
Whatever the Weather
With the Tafel lager
And the mountains by our side
[Chorus]
Whatever the weather
We don't have to make a change
Whatever the weather
Things won't always be the same
Whatever the weather
You don't have to read my mind
Whatever the weather
We're gonna leave this day behind
[Outro]
'Cause I know that when I'm with you
I feel so fine
It really blows my mind
And every moment that I dream
I'm thinking of you and me (Whatever the weather)
And all the moments I hold you close (Whatever the weather)
I never wanna let go (Whatever the weather)
'Cause when I'm with you I know I'm true (Whatever the weather)
Just me and you (Whatever the weather)
(Whatever the weather)
(Whatever the weather)
Whatever the weather, we'll be alright (Whatever the weather)
We'll be fine (Whatever the weather)
I said we'll be fine (Whatever the weather)
Oh we'll be fine (Whatever the weather)
We'll be fine (Whatever the weather)
