+ 1. Tear It Down

Written by Jacob Hemphill

the situation isn’t what it was, and it’s never gonna be it again. cuz we got nothing prepared for what is coming up when the dollar is the focus of men, and you know all the solutions we don’t talk about cause we’d rather talk about ourselves right now and if WE are what’s killing US we take the form of the storm up ahead, now follow me I’ve seen the water rising, it’s rising all around and I’ve seen those roots, they’re ripping and they rip out from the ground and I’ve seen this world is changing and it’s right in front of our face there’s something happening here, in this little human race –

[Chorus] it’s coming coming coming on down, down the waters literally rise now it’s coming and it’s coming on down, down and the (heat) index rise every time around it’s coming, it’s coming on down, down and we can tear every little thing down and we will, just look around and you can watch us tear it down

the situation’s coming down to this: what matters to us all in the end? And you know total destruction is on the horizon, if you are standing on the out looking in. and our congress and president never ever mention it, can’t even figure out same sex marriages while we kill each other every day and while we kill our earth in every way, it’s coming down.

We’ve got this love inside us and we’ve got this hatred too We’ve got this battle raging, and we’ve let the soldiers loose We sit and watch and wonder possible outcomes will what we NEED deep inside become what we WANT before it’s

Coming coming coming on down, down the waters literally rise now it’s coming and it’s coming on down, down and the (heat) index rise every time around it’s coming, it’s coming on down, down and we can tear every little thing down and we will, just look around and you can watch us tear it down, down, down now tear it right down to the ground we gonna tear it down, down, down now tear it right down to the ground

+ 2. Your Song (feat. Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley)

Written by Jacob Hemphill and Damian Marley

what a big world, and I’m glad to be in it we got a purpose and I’m starting to get it, and I won’t stop until I’m gone, and I won’t change what I’m doing till I’m done I’ve got time, and a plan to go with it- forget about the money, cuz I don’t get it and I know I’ll come again yeah, I know, but until then…

[Chorus] if you see me forgetting, forget who I am just try to remind me and put up yours hands, in the stands if you see me crying, if you see me alone just try to stay by me, and keep singing along

I appreciate the chance at living, I realize that’s it’s all about giving I will stand in the sunshine cause I know that the sun is not mine I’m tied in to the dirt in the land the wind in the trees and the waves in the sand and I know I’ll come again yeah, I know but until then….

[Chorus]

[Damian Marley Verse] so if I slip, get lost upon a trip and if I lose a grip on reality beg you do not make me drift it’s not as if because I have a gift don’t mean I could not take some good advice and you say brother take a tip like maybe this- one too many spliffs, one too many sips, not enough sleep, and too much meal a skip sometimes to escape, everyone needs a lift don’t watch no face

[Chorus]

+ 3. I Believe (feat. Michael Franti & Nahko)

Written by Jacob Hemphill, Michael Franti and Nahko

[Chorus 1] I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe- no matter what you do I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe- It will all come back to you.

Stand up and find your own way, or sit down and wait for your turn Follow your vision blindly, or just become the vision of someone Remove the shackles right now, you never really fit into ‘em at all or keep running with that metal on your feet until you fall.

[Chorus 2] Everything that you SAY becomes the things that you DO remember what you put out there is building you- remember everything is everything

[Chorus 1]

[Nahko Verse] I kinda been struggling the fire on my tongue’s been challenging but even the wise ones be stumbling, so, pick your heart up here and walk tall Bright-eyed deliverance, everything you say’s significant So speak your truth, be spirited you’re beautiful and bold, so carry on

[Chorus 2]

[Michael Franti Verse] Everything is everything, every single day, remember this in everything you do and everything you say: everything you eat, and all the people that you meet; There is life, there is light, that’s reflected back on me I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe- no matter what you do I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe- it will all come back to you.

Turn your speakers down, and listen to the silence down below- that’s the messenger, and that’s the only one who really knows Turn my music down, yeah cuz it’s your turn now well it’s your turn now it’s your turn right now

[Chorus 2]

+ 4. Easier (feat. Anuhea & J Boog)

Written by Jacob Hemphill, Anuhea, and J Boog

It’s never been a problem for me, it’s what I always wanted it seems. It’s almost predetermined to be, I’m always in between It’s like I always knew that I would, but never really perfectly could. I was waiting for the right thing to come, but never really know

[Chorus 1] That it’s much easier, that it’s much easier it’s much more easier, when you don’t lie I mean it’s easier, It’s much more easier it’s easier, when you don’t try

[Anuhea Verse] It’s in the summer breeze , it’s the wind that blows it’s in the innocent, it’s in the criminals It’s in the real roots, it’s in the real vibes we get it down low, only to take it so high It’s in the sky above and even in the trees and it’s inside of you, and it’s inside of me It’s in the weed we smoke, I see it in the clouds and the only one that we get is here right now

[Chorus]

[J Boog Verse] Never really wanted to get a job that didn’t benefit us to thrive work for nothing, bills stack up cover up my side I don’t qualify for your so-called regular life, wish you could see what we see and break out that single file line So we blaze it for all of my people who feel under-appreciated just live your life how you please even if them nah rate it and don’t mistake it, don’t even fake it SOJA+Anuhea+J Boog- yes we gonna to make it, make it

[Chorus]

+ 5. Shadow (feat. Trevor Young)

Written by Trevor Young and Jacob Hemphill

[Chorus (Trevor Young)] I’m not a shadow I’m not the ground beneath your feet I’m not a shadow And when you look down you won’t see me I stand up and I stand tall I don’t follow anyone I’m not a shadow cause I’m not a shadow, oh no no

Here’s to you who don’t settle, and never separate and never be quiet, cuz the words you say, you’ll never go back on, and never turn around Never judge another cuz how stupid it sounds cause when you see others, knowing they’re all brothers, knowing they’re all sisters, seeing the big picture – If they’re not with us, then they’re against, and we’re here now when they are way back when, so why try to please everyone when it seems all that people really want is to show love out and to get love back, is to show some faith and to get respect just look at the world, then you look at the problems and look at the hatred, and we still can’t solve it So look inside, and you’ll find step one forget a diamond, I’m shining like the sun

[Chorus]

Here’s to you on your own, the innocent criminal You never fit the mold, you never go sit down You never go get approval, no matter how you prove that love is the motive in everything you do And revolution is you, and you’re against the machine You know who you are, and you know what I mean and when this record stops you will never slow down When the video is over, you want your turn now So you make your truth and move straight ahead, while the followers behind you get left for dead, and for the imminent brain washing, follow the dumb rules created by individuals who, unlike you don’t care for the world or care for the people They love it their way, and they love unequal, and they love when they feel above someone – I don’t follow the leader when they’re all wrong

[Chorus]

+ 6. Once Upon A Time

Written by Jacob Hemphill

I told her “let’s take it slow,” she heard “forever” instead I said that “this is a start” and she heard the same thing again So I didn’t say one word, but what she heard in her head is all that she wanted to hear ….damn I tried to tell her before, the words they came out too late and then she went for the door, and I didn’t stand in her way “Don’t ever call me no more…” I think she really meant to say:

[Chorus] “Call me, never let me go” and I said “I told you so, there’s no chance, no I will never ever change, Cause I’m still in love with yesterday”

“Call me, never let me go” and I said “I told you so, there’s no chance, no I will never ever change, Cause I’m still in love with yesterday”

It’s the same old story, the story goes: “Once upon a time, in a land far way, there was a princess alone, alone in need of a king, And then he rides into town and then she gets carried away” Yeah, she got “carried away…” I think she wants to hear me say:

“Call me, never let me go”

+ 7. Promises and Pills (feat. Alfred The MC)

Written by Jacob Hemphill and Alfred the MC

[Alfred the MC Verse 1] In war, combat is so heavily prepared for Returning home is something no one is really there for Half the team is gone, and the half that makes it home they gotta deal with the terrorism, in their skull But there’s a cure the government likes to hit them with prescribing promises and pills, but the side effects is no sleep, no peace looking for reasons for living as the war moves on America. The System.

[Chorus] Reintegrate me, you made me a killer Like you could trade me for everything I’ve lost And look how you made me make me think about me taking my own life when I remember what went down

And you say that I’m the reason for the freedom of this land So I land in their back yard, I’ve got your rifle in my hand, and They defend themselves, you know of course I do the same, so we go kill each other while you go about your day

[Chorus]

And I don’t sleep at night and I will never be the same And my wife is terrified by these details I can’t explain And my soul is beat to shit and half my friends are dead and gone. For all these fucking games you play, we pay the price with our own blood

[Chorus]

[Alfred the MC Verse 2] Put a warrior in hell, now he’s finally back With images in his brain of every damn attack Every bomb, every friend that’s never coming home Every innocent life taken, for reasons unknown Then we abandon them, the same ones that did all the killing We no longer deal with them, just their spouses and children And the memories in their head from every damn mission and the war moves on America. The System.

[Chorus]

+ 8. Signature

Written by Jacob Hemphill

We deserve more than lies and illusions, way more than what we’re getting We don’t remember what life is for We believe in the wrong complications, your ties all stop at nations When we could be so much more, so much more

[Chorus] Let it out and if it’s true, it will flow out of you It’s like a river in your mind Because the truth will never fall it’s been around before us all and it’s like a signature on your mind

We’re the first, we’re the generation We are the ones to be one, this nation starts with us it doesn’t end when the water does And we can see it when we think more clearly and keep calm and you keep listening or we could find ourselves past the point of no return

[Chorus]

So get going with the new thought process: remember birth and give away the numbness Mankind was built on conquest, NOW’S the time that you give away the unrest Unless we can undress all of the past concepts and practice a little oneness, our future generations are just suspect, subject to our bullshit

[Chorus]

+ 9. She Still Loves Me (feat. Collie Buddz)

Written by Jacob Hemphill

[Chorus] I know it’s hard, now for you to see – you can’t change how it was, or how it’s gonna be – I’m what she wants, you’re just what she needs. She still loves me, she still loves me

Where is her sweater? – It’s not in her car – It’s not at her friend’s house – It’s not at the bar I think you’d better think with your heart take a look at yourself, and see how lucky you really are But I don’t believe in luck after all, neither does she, but you know that now. You should forget her, cuz I’ve got her heart, but she hates the way that I tear it apart.

[Chorus]

[Collie Buddz Verse] You need to focus on what really really matters and how she’s feeling when she’s crying over you again And every single time you break a girl’s heart in two, there is a little less of it when it comes back to you And one day, she’ll pack all of her things and go, and down the line she finds herself at a Collie show, and even though she maybe thinks of you from time to time, just know that, that girl is mine

[Chorus]

What does she talk about when her father calls she says what you say, she tells her old man that you’re the one But what does she talk about when her mother calls, you don’t come up, you don’t come up at all

[Chorus]

+ 10. Wait

Written by Jacob Hemphill

You know I never said goodbye to you I just shut up and walked away You know I’m running from what’s hard to do and I’m letting you know that nothing’s changed. I think I’ll never change the road I’m on, all I’m changing up is the town that I’m in and sometimes I’m not into who I’ve become, and that “sometime” is now, oh,

Wait… Wait Don’t let it go like it’s gone before, and please stay… Stay Don’t make me show up at your door

I’m feeling I’m drowning and loving every minute in it, like I’m tripping every second that I’m in the minute Baby, we’re stupid we kill each other for love, love, running in circles, we can never get enough us You hear me calling and you start to turn around You see me running and you start to slow down Baby, slow down, turn around and wait for me to walk away again, now

Oh wait, come on, wait Don’t let it go like it’s gone before and please please stay with me, stay Don’t make me show up, show up at your door

I never said never said goodbye to you, I shut up and walked all away I’m running from what’s hard to do and letting you know that nothing’s changed, nothing ever changed. I think I’ll never change the road I’m on All I’m changing up is the town that I’m in and sometimes I’m not into who I’ve become, and that “sometime” is now… but, oh,

Wait…. Come on wait, wait. Don’t let it go like it’s gone before and please stay with me, stay Don’t make me show up at your door, oh,

Wait, you know I never said goodbye to you don’t let it go like it’s gone before Please please stay you know I’m running from what’s hard to do please don’t make me show up at your door.

+ 11. Better

Written by Jacob Hemphill

Hello True, we know we far away from us Two, we know we far away from one, and…

[Chorus] If I can’t make it better and you can’t make it better then what are we to do? Spend our lives in limbo? wondering if what I wrote is ever coming true? True?

Cause we spent our days together, as if before were never, like ever days at all… and now… and now… and you said I’d be the one, the one who got away from, from you, you knew it all… it all… well…

[Chorus]

Tell me where did we go wrong? Tell me how it’s been so long? And tell me where does “it” go? And tell me where does “it” go now? And tell me is “it” still right there? And tell me has “it” disappeared? And tell me how do I know? I know… well…

[Chorus]

Oh angels high up above, come fill us now with your love, we don’t know what to do, we don’t know what to do And we speak right now in silence over a million miles of distance like 1,000 years removed and we don’t know what to do

[Chorus]

Wondering, and keep coming back, a little phone call, a little weakness becomes a broken heart, and then the tears fall down your face and you turn away from your computer screen but it won’t stop, and it won’t change until we walk away, until we walk away, hey, angels up there help us now we’re running ourselves down and out, and we don’t know what to don’t know what to do at all, at all…

Two, we know we far away from one, Baby, we’re so far away…

+ 12. Treading Water

Written by Jacob Hemphill

I’ve been waiting for your conscience to call and maybe hear your little voice on the phone And now I’m treading water, it’s getting harder – the ocean’s much bigger than me And now I need it more than ever before and I’m just knocking in my head on your door And you know I still feel it, and I still need it this bottle’s full now…

[Chorus] Sitting here, waiting on you goddamn it Packing up a hotel room I planned it different in my head when I thought of love I’m looking at the shimmering stars above, and every one reminds me of you and everything that we been through damn- everything’s coming back to me tonight

I’ve been running in a circle for days and you know me it’s never ever going away But then you keep me waiting I won’t change it for any other girl in the world And I could but every time I think it’s the end, you show up, fucking everything in my head And then I’m treading water, I’m falling faster this bottles empty…

[Chorus]

+ 13. Lucid Dreams (feat. Nahko)

Written by Jacob Hemphill and Nahko

every time I close my eyes I find myself in the corners of my mind and I’m in there, yeah, somewhere under the covers I can feel it it’s pulling me no one can know where my mind goes my dreams, more real than my reality and the memory inside of me will it be with me forever until infinity

[Chorus] waiting for my conscience calling listening to hear me talking slowing down the rate of motion focusing inside an ocean catching myself falling over looking back and seeing no one walking through this lucid dream again

[Nahko Verse 1] I never thought it would come to this how did I get here and what did I miss I’ve been trying to find the righteous man’s road I want to remember the womb of my mother want to understand all the love of my father I’m so close I can feel it in my bones my bones

[Chorus]

now every day is only counting the seconds and minutes that separate me from who I am I really am in this body temporarily on my journey going going gone and I can feel it like a wrecking ball crashing through me and I don’t make one sound when I can hear it as the memories prove I’ve been here

[Chorus]

[Nahko Verse 2] oh that perfect peace is within my reach it’s a humbling process somewhere within me is integrity could be a Medicine/SOJA play the music open up my heart and a good way to healing realizing it starts with finding all my answers within me within me

[Chorus]

+ 14. Driving Faster (feat. Bobby Lee)

Written by Bobby Lee Jefferson

I can’t believe I’m going down this Road I came a week Ago But now I’m driving Faster I shoulda seen how this was gonna Go I’m gonna be Alone And now I’m heading for Disaster

I can’t believe I’m going down this Road I came a week Ago But now I’m driving Faster I shoulda seen how this was gonna Go I’m gonna be Alone And now I’m heading for Disaster

It’s seems like I never Learn I have to jump in the Fire Twenty Times before I Realize That I’m gonna get Burn The more you Live The more you Learn The more you Give The More you Earn

They say if I keep on giving the Best of Me Neglect the Rest of Me I got to project my TrueSelf It seems like this a test for Me Forward progress for Me And I can’t do this with your Help

I can’t believe I’m going down this Road I came a week Ago But now I’m driving Faster I shoulda seen how this was gonna Go I’m gonna be Alone And now I’m heading for Disaster

I can’t believe I’m going down this Road I came a week Ago But now I’m driving Faster I shoulda seen how this was gonna Go I’m gonna be back home Now I’m not heading for Disaster

I can’t be heading for This Cause I’m not Ready for This I got to keep up with This As those whose steady for this (?) Just keep my head off This Cause I’ll be better for This And in the end I know we’ll be alright and all will be Blessed Trust me a little (?) Sometimes it’s hard to Exist But this races is for those who…(?) Jut got to stay Positive And I Receive what I Give Before I love Someone I Focus on my own live to Live

+ 15. Talking To Myself

Written by Jacob Hemphill

I stay up at night When there’s nobody ’round When no one makes a sound And no one hears me, as I’m talking to myself

And I stay up late And roll another one Cause I run from the sun I’ll have another one, then I guess I’ll go lay down (now, now)

The sun goes down And the lights go off and the emails stop And the phones can’t bury me And I start to feel a life of memory

No one knows Where the moon’s in the sky And the joints (are?) out And connect these stars we see, and the lines they write the song for me

And I stay up at night When there’s nobody ’round When no one makes a sound And no one hears me, as I’m talking to myself

And I stay up late And roll another one Cause I run from the sun I’ll have another one, then I guess I’ll go lay down (now, now)

Another round Then I head down the road and I’m walking home And my footsteps, they make a beat And the faster pace (they’re caught up singling?)

And my guitar is out Then let’s change this world Cause the system’s broke And there’s human equality, and the stars they write these songs for me

And I stay up at night When there’s nobody ’round When no one makes a sound And no one hears me, as I’m talking to myself

And I stay up late And roll another one Cause I run from the sun I’ll have another one, then I guess I’ll go lay down (now, now)

Then I guess I’ll go lay down

I really should go lay down Cause it’s getting so late now Cause it’s getting so late now Cause it’s getting so late…

Oh, I’m up at night, when there’s no one around

+ 16. Translation of One

Written by Jacob Hemphill

I’m not saying that I’ve got it all figured out I’m just saying that most people Seem to be without a doubt So scared to death of what they just don’t understand You know they been doing that one since the dawning of man If you need the union of marriage that the bible portrays It’s after the part permitting human enslavement People always need other people to hate It’s the evil that the human mind creates

But we can’t go on pretending that we’re strong Pretending that we’re better than everyone And don’t blame God for your own hatred That you direct unto his children, that’s you alone

One love, one love That’s what you’re telling me Except for “them,” never “them,” They’re not your “family.” That’s the same old story The same old ideology:

1492. 1861. 2014

And then you blame it on the bible Then loosely got translated to 50 languages Now everyone’s “tradition” is hatred, loosely translated

We can’t go on pretending that we’re strong Pretending that we’re better then everyone Don’t blame god for your own hatred That you direct unto his children, that’s you alone We can’t go on pretending that we’re strong Pretending that we’re better then everyone Don’t blame god for your own hatred That you keep right in your heart there And you love it, and what would you do without it? Pick up your hatred and find it in the pages And then translate it to look just like you made it And change the faces to look like your faces And you can change the names To fit into your translation of “one.”

+ 17. Like It Used To (feat. Mala Rodríguez)

Written by Jacob Hemphill and Mala Rodriguez

(?) You call and tell me that you are lonely Voicemail not clear and I can hardly hear you It’s 2 a.m in a bars, close or open You’re hoping that I will take over for you

I won’t hold your hand When you are lonely When you want me When you got nothing to do And it breaks your heart I’m not lonely And I don’t break like I used to

Me equivoco por deporte, Donde esta lo sabio? El unico riesgo es volverse loco Dejale en el corte, cambio Conocerme mejor improvisando Sujeta al antojo del pizado, no digas nada q te condene Hechos hablen notas suenen sin control.. lo peor de cada uno se viene Nunca creas que sabes demasiado, hay cientos en los juzgados solias Deberias desprogramarme y olvidar pero estamos mal educados Toma la manzana te dije de buen grado, aun no me siento culpable de haberte liberado Solo estoy buscando Me uso y te uso y parece que nunca es demasiado

I won’t hold your hand When you are lonely When you want me When you got nothing to do And it breaks your heart I’m not lonely And I don’t break like I used to

I used to make you go crazy, so now you knock in my door I see my phone on the table you had a picture before And I can’t just picture it now and it’s not what i used to see Tonight you will find a replacement and i know you will be picturing me

I won’t hold your hand When you are lonely When you want me When you got nothing to do And it breaks your heart And it breaks your heart I don’t break like I used to

I won’t hold your hand When you are lonely When you want me When you got nothing to do And it breaks your heart I’m not lonely And I don’t break like I used to

Like it used to (x3) Break it like it used to Like it used to (x3) Break it like it used to
