Oooohhhh Yuh Yuh! UHH! [Pre Chorus] I'm drinkin' and drivin', but there ain't no destination Nother shot, nother shot, take me out of this equation Pushin' uphill, chasin' ghosts with frustration Ain't no thrill, ain’t no light, just a fucked-up revelation [chorus] Let my life end where the headlights dieeeee Gonna paint the wall red, make a mural of my miiiindd Ain't nowhere to go, ain't nobody to caaallllll So I just drain the last drop as my heart rate faaaallllsss [rap] Jesus take the fuckin wheel, Jesus take the fuckin WHEEL! I can barely hear my thoughts, I can barely hold the wheel Cull the voices in my head, gonna wipe the from my psyche Gonna drown them til I’m dead, always somethin that excites me Whispers echo in the static, but they never ask politely Gonna push the pedal down, let the reaper sit beside me… Tires screaming on the pavement but my soul is staying silent The liquor in my veins got my heart beat violent Ain’t no saviors, ain’t no angels, just the voices in my ear And the sound of death approaching, it whispers that I’m near Ain't no motherfuckin' hand tryna pull me from the wreck Ain't no prayers left to say, all that's left is disconnect I could slam on the brakes, but l'd rather break my neck Let the crash be the chorus, let the sirens be the set YEAH!

[Instrumental]
[Verse] Steppin’ in the sunlight with a smile so wide Catch a wave of laughter let the good vibes ride Dancin’ with the rhythm under skies so blue Every footstep echoes like a dream come true [Verse 2] Palm trees swayin’ as we laugh with ease Whisperin’ secrets carried on the breeze The world is our playground no worries no qualms Singin’ songs of freedom with open arms [Chorus] Tatalo tatalo feel the beat Groovin’ to the music moving our feet Tatalo tatalo night and day Let the rhythm guide us show us the way [Verse 3] Footprints in the sand tell stories untold Every grain a memory young and bold Sun dips below as the night unfolds Stars in the sky silver and gold [Bridge] Life’s a celebration every moment anew Colors of the world painted in every hue Heartbeats sync with the drums we play Livin’ in the moment come what may [Verse 4] Moonlight dances on the ocean’s crest Whispered dreams in a seashell’s rest Voices rise in harmony loud and clear Echoes of joy that we hold dear
Verse 1: In the land of Jamaica, where the sun always shines There lived two great men, with spirits divine Bob Marley, a legend who sang with soul And Marcus Garvey, a prophet who made us whole Chorus: Bob Marley and Marcus Garvey Soul brothers till eternity Their words and music will never fade In our hearts, their legacy is made Verse 2: One spread love through his music and melodies The other spoke truth and fought for our liberties Together they inspired a nation to rise With their wisdom and courage, they opened our eyes Chorus: Bob Marley and Marcus Garvey Soul brothers till eternity Their words and music will never fade In our hearts, their legacy is made Verse 3: Their spirits still linger, in the air we breathe Their message of unity, we must never leave So let's sing their praises, let's keep their flame burning For Bob Marley and Marcus Garvey, our souls will be yearning Chorus: Bob Marley and Marcus Garvey Soul brothers till eternity Their words and music will never fade In our hearts, their legacy is made Outro: In the heart of reggae, their spirits shall roam Bob Marley and Marcus Garvey, forever at home
Half Painted Sky Verse 1 Dream, dream, oh how I longed to see, But realities causality, Operating like a cold machine, Life’s a comedy, Pre-Chorus Money is green, nature is greed, Our heads compressed by the evil queen Called desire and ego, Lead as all as we go, Chorus In the orchestrated cosmos of your beautiful mind. Make things be real and make things be divine, Make me understood don’t ask me why Make me finish the half painted sky, Verse 2 Greatness is a perfect joke, We play the game till we choke I see not man but empty souls So goods can be sold Pre-Chorus Money is green, nature is greed, Our heads compressed by the evil queen Called desire and ego, Lead as all as we go, Chorus In the orchestrated cosmos of your beautiful mind. Make things be real and make things be divine, Make me understood don’t ask me why Make me finish the half painted sky,
