+ 1. Press Rewind (ft. Collie Buddz and J Boog)

(Written by Jacob Hemphill, Colin Harper, Jerry Afemata)
(J. Hemphill)
I see it in the past like I feel it in my mind,
I hear it in the roots and the song, press rewind...
Take me to the truth, like the very first time
I fell in love with music, music feel alive
It’s in the beat that my heart still plays,
I smell it in the weed at the dawn of the day.
I was 14, but the vibe still stays,
I’m still in love with music

I can remember in the days we used to watch
Buju Banton, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh.
Pick up six string and just tell me where to go-
If you could tell me then about now, I would never know,
And now the tour bus is pulling up to every city,
And all my old friends are still the ones who playing with me,
And every single song that I sing, I’m still smiling-
Remember that the journey is all about the timing

(Collie Buddz)
Aight so let we talk bout the music
Mans a listen soundclash from me turn 9
Jaro, Troopa, Black Cat, Panta and a one big clash from ‘95
Rodigan, Stone Love, Rory…and dem you have to know about
Matterhorn, King Addis, Bass Odyssey, Squingy rest in peace
Massive B, Bobby Konders, and Jabba
Burn a spliff them time ya no grabba
Dubplate a lick from cat the Don Dadda
Can’t forget them time deh but whoooa how time roll
But I’m still in love with music, music

(J Boog) From the very 1st time I heard it
Reggae caught my full attention

-healed me from my sorrows
Filled my cup with inspiration

-infectious sound
Helped me hold my feet to the ground

When temptation stick it’s neck out!
No Dem cyant!_ penetrate through my surroundings

-Different seas, still we island culture dea
-Mu-sic thru we bones and dat we share
-Connection with us all is something rare
-Nesta spoke di truth made us aware

No-other-way-to-this-vibe-gotta-feel-it
Every-single-day-work-hard-gotta-build-it

Come one and all and celebrate
unite wit us with through music

But I’m still in love with music, music

+ 2. It's Funny (ft. Eli Mac and Common Kings)

(Written by Jacob Hemphill, Camile Velasco, Sasualei Maliga)

It’s funny- you start this life with no money,
You start this life with no girlfriend,
You start this life with your tears,
And your Mom and Dad.
But then you start to grow older,
And you decide it’s important
To focus on your own self,
And what you could have.
And then you change what you came for,
And your sunrise leaves like an airport,
The moon is gone from your eyes,
And you wonder why
the feelings that you are feeling
They Suddenly have no meaning...
You got lost in this life,
And you start to cry,
It’s funny
It’s so funny
It wants to make you cry, it’s funny
It’s just funny

(Eli Mac)
It’s funny reminiscing ‘bout my youthful days...
When everything in life seemed great always...
It’s funny all the times that I counted the stars...
It’s funny all the times that I counted the scars...
And there were so many days I tried to give up...
Then I turned right around and said stand up...
You gotta stand up for your rights...
And never give up on the fight...
You know the only thing to do is keep going...
And when you’re going you got to keep growing...
Just keep your head up to the sky...
And keep your eye always on the prize...
It’s funny sometimes when life shakes us...
It’s funny sometimes when life breaks us...
And you sit back and think why...
And you start to cry it’s funny...

(Common Kings)
Yo it’s funny when you looking for a timeout
Ain’t no ref to blow the whistle on ya last count
Needa forget about the days when we would pass out
From hoppin’ bar to bar, then moms had to bail us out
Then we stopped when we had enough
We knew what we had was real
couldn’t give it up
So we let the music take over us
Now from the bottom we to the top

cuz we stay hungry nobody knows
Tomorrow ain’t guaranteed
All the highs and the lows
Yeah, neva borrow from yesterday
Now it’s time to rise up, get up stand and celebrate
with the same squad now for a decade.

But we don’t flaunt money, fast cars,
Diamond rings and gold chains
Ppl think cuz we rockstars we living in all the fame
The funny thing is we don’t let the money get in the way
of where we came from
the vibes
the love and what we wanna say

+ 3. The Day You Came (ft. Rebelution and UB40)

(Written by Jacob Hemphill)

When you need me, you beg me stay
And when you don’t, you just walk away
And your shadow is all I see
And then you live in my memory

So I beg you turn around and come back to me now
Cause all I can feel is down when you’re away- wait
I sit and watch the phone and think back to years ago-
Who did I “used to be” before the day you came?

Before the fire, before the flame?

(Eric Rachmany)
When I need you, you’re hard to find
I replay moments in my mind
When our love was just both of us
Before your heart just went and turned me off...

Before the storm, before the rain?

(Ali Campbell)
When the sun sets I look for you
I sit and wonder what happened to
Those days we spent with our simple plans?
And blindly wish that I could see you again...

Before the sad, and before the pain?

Before the day you came...

+ 4. Break It Down

(Written by Jacob Hemphill)

Break It Down

Amid the noise and haste, there’s beauty in the silence- but only when you break it down...

So I’m looking to the west, looking to the east
I’m falling to the dirt under my feet
I listen to the ocean calling, calling...
I’m feeling raindrops upon my face
I’m living this life like a highway
I’m turning in circles and the universe plays her song....
only if you break it down.

You gotta break it down

The notes and the sounds and the melody surrounds but you break it down-
Amid the noise and haste, there’s beauty in the silence, but only when you break it down...

You can get high when you’re low now
You can come and you can go now
Cause you living life as you know now: “grow now.”
It can get hard and bittersweet
Cause you want permanent, but it’s all changing
And the love that’s in you is the love that’s in me
And it’s strong
only if you break it down

You gotta break it down

The notes and the sounds, and the melody surrounds, but you break it down
Amid the noise and haste, there’s beauty in the silence
But only when you break it down

We were before, and we will come after
And we are only the next chapter
There will be pain; there will be laughter- we’ll sing about it.
I’ll see you all in the next one- when we’re out in the ocean and playin the sun
And we’re up in the stars, and we’ll dance with his son
...in the next one
Only if you break it down

You gotta break it down

From the stars, to the earth, to the sun, gotta break it down

It’s a chapter turning,
Forward moving, pulling all our
Hearts and souls combined together
It’s not accidental, neither
It’s no question, stormy weather
Gets me thinking and gets me better
Open up this universe-
Let the rain come down on me till it hurts
And then I look back in the past,
I look forward to now,
I look all around... I see the same faces somehow...

But only if I break it down

+ 5. Something To Believe In (ft. Stick Figure)

(Written by Jacob Hemphill, Scott Woodruff)

Putting up defenses cause I’m
breaking down inside,
so I have learned to build these walls and I have learned to hide...
But I cant let what feels so wrong turn
into what feels right-
I'm walking through the darkness,
all I feel, for real, is Light

Gimme something to believe in
I need the truth, I cannot lie
Gimme something to believe in,
please don’t ask me why
I need something I can breathe in-
to lift me up, and keep me high
just gimme something to believe in
cause I need something to believe in

(Stick Figure)
You better learn to live, before you learn to fly
We're born with love to give before we open up our eyes
All we need is love, and all we've got is time
Deep down somewhere still I wonder if I can change your mind

Redirecting footsteps, I can see horizon line
I readjust my scope, I pull the trigger, watch it fly
Knowing where youre going’s only knowing where You stand
I got my eyes on the horizon we are never looking back

cause I need something to believe in, C’mon...

+ 6. Things You Can't Control

(Written by Trevor Young, Johnny Cosmic)

Dont worry about the things you can't control
Dont worry about the things you can't control
Holding on so tight
Just let it go
Dont worry about the things you can't control

What is life? what does it mean to mean?
Trying to keep my head up
swimming in eternity
just go with the flow and plant a seed
the harder the wind
the stronger the tree

So intense searching endlessly
trying to find what we can't see
sometimes it feels like a bad dream
but we're wide awake right now
and this was meant to be

Dont worry about the things you can't control

+ 7. Back To The Start (ft. Mihali)

(written by Jacob Hemphill, Mihali Savoulidis)

Back To The Start

The weight of this world it can drown you at sea
Looking for land in the dark
And the water gets high and suddenly you feel
There’s nothing to hold to all
Cause you can get caught up in all the wrong things
If you don’t know where you are
So look for the light that is shining within-
Leading you back to your heart, back to the start

Waiting for the world to fix you is like waiting for the mountains to fall
Waiting for the truth to find you is like waiting for nothing at all
The truth was born inside you, it’s everything you need to call
Your ancestors to find you, to bring you back where you started from

(Mihali)
It’s so easy to slip when your mental power broke
makeing wrong moves on a dead end road

cause the face inside the mirror isn’t yours anymore
When the person you’ve become is the person you hated most

You know it’s never to late to make the bad times change
Get you back to the beginning before life got in the way

Look inside for the truth let it pump
From your heart
And trickle down to your roots to bring you back to start now

+ 8. Jump (ft. Slightly Stoopid)

(Jacob Hemphill, Miles Doughty, Kyle McDonald)

I know It’s been the longest summer...
Like Hotter than the gates of hell
The Lord knows while the steady wind she blows,
That It won’t always fill your sail
Your heart’s been beating like a kick drum:
Four on the floor and into 5,4,3,2...
I know they say that a beating heart ain’t broken, but
They ain’t looked into your eyes

See if you worry ‘bout the fall, you will never jump at all-
Afraid of something new
But if you make it through the door, I will follow you for sure, and

I will jump with you.

You know I will.

(K. McDonald)
We been walking for oh so long, but I still cant seem to get out of here
See me running the whole night through, but still don’t seem to be going nowhere
Used to be something, now feeling more like nothing, an ocean made out of tears
I see you running telling me to jump in, how many miles can we go from here

(M. Doughty)
The harder that you fall
Only just to find your way
You think you’ve seen it all
And then I jump with you
And when it hits your soul
Calling just to let you know
Don’t ever let it go
While them stage lights flashing it’s over again
One more beat till we’re done
We on a one way ticket
with all of our friends
We stay right here forever
So the night may never end

+ 9. Still You

(written by Jacob Hemphill)
Still You

Growing up, moving on

I look back in you and me sometimes
And in my memories, I only made you smile
And all the fine print, I don’t need it,
it don’t like me, and who needs this reality
Of realizing that I:
Coulda
Woulda
Shoulda

This song is mine but it’s still yours, I’m afraid
So rest assured you’re in these words that I say
And I keep talking, as I try to get away
From the truth:
It’s still You

Turns out, you were right all along, girl.
You and I? Better in a song girl.
And this story and all these pages?
Better a memory; better a little faded.
Cause my choice is: to keep it a memory, or sit here remembering everything.
And drive myself crazy thinking:
Coulda
woulda
shoulda

I sing this one, my same ok’d song for the rest of all my days cause the truth? It’s still you

I look back on you sometimes

I look back on you and me sometimes
I rewind it like a movie in my mind
And I don’t remember all the fights,
Cause they distract me from those nights
When we’d just hold each other right like life perfect

Fuck

Growing up, moving on

A little song that lets me sleep through time and space, and I get through.

Its still You.

+ 10. Messages

(Written by Jacob Hemphill)

Our Mother Nature’s telling Nature when to sleep-
When to rise, when to fight, when to eat-
When we need shelter from the storm that’s getting cold
When to run away, or never run at all-
How to lose a loved one, and how to grieve it...
She lets you cry, cause they were all you ever needed.
Writhing this world, there is a balance, you can feel it
We tune it out and then wonder why we are bleeding... but

I’m trying to feel it in the messages- it’s in the wind that blows, it’s in the storm ahead...
I’m trying to make it like it used to be- before society, before anxiety
I can feel these little messages-
It’s in the waters flow, it’s in the fires breath
I’m trying to make it like it used to be. This world is crying out. I hear it quietly. I hear it in the messages.
I can feel it in these messages.
And I can hear it in these messages.
I can see it in these messages.

Every answer on this earth is all around you-
“Protecting yourself-“ it just surrounds you
And all the truth, it loses track of where it found you-
You start to lose all meaning
And something grows inside you every single year-
And depression is the representation of all your fear-
You take prescription, make your mission disappear and
You start to lose all feeling
But

I can feel it in those messages.
And I can see it in those messages.
In all these little messages...
Amid the noise and haste,
There’s beauty in the silence,
And I can hear it in the messages.
Amid the noise and haste,
There’s beauty in the silence...
It’s all there in the messages
I feel it in the messages

(Written by Jacob Hemphill, Nanpa Basico, Jared Watson)

(N. Basico)
Cuando estoy contigo yo no siento nada malo
Nací para cuidarte y quererte sin intervalos

(J. Hemphill)
When you get stuck in your thoughts, maybe you’re stuck in your ways
Sometimes what’s different is scary, but necessary the same
But I know the truth, I see the way that it works
It goes like this: when the outside gets broken is when the inside it hurts

Eleven days and nights that you’ve been waiting on,
And you can’t move a muscle, cause I’m holding on
Eleven days and nights that you’ve been waiting on,
And you can’t blink and eye, because I’m holding on
You hold your breath cause I can’t breathe
Then I can’t wake up, so you can’t sleep
Eleven days and nights that you’ve been waiting on, holding on

We all need a reason to live
We all need a little time (cause I’m not done yet, so)
We all need a reason to live
We all need a little love sometime

(N. Basico)
Me fui en busca de calor al infinito
Me canse del odio y de ese ruido maldito
Me gusta deambular en esos ojos oscuritos
Siempre la misma cita, eres mi sitio favorito

Me encanta tu piel
Me pones transparente yo no puedo respirar
Tenerte me hace bien
Buena para el alma y buena para el paladar

(J. Watson)
Lemme be real Ernest like
Hemingway
Kinda Feel like the color grey
Kinda feel so far away
Like Rain on a sunny day
Need A reason to live a reason to breath a reason to love a to grieve that reason is you that reason is me that reason is truth and I hope that see
You be that blessing
Life is a lesson
I’ll be your weapon keep fighting on
Leave all your questions
Your my obsession
I’ll be your weapon keep fighting on

+ 12. This Heart of Mine (ft. Eric Swanson)

(Written by Jacob Hemphill, Eric Swanson, Trevor Young)

(E. Swanson)
I see this vision somewhere in my mind-
Humanity and struggles, we got all these hills to climb
This isn’t working- well, maybe this one will...
Let’s just keep practicing, we’ve got some time to kill
I see them pushing, when them should be pull
I see them hungry when I know them belly full, and
Just like concrete, so hard, and so cold
We all gone need a little shelter from the storm


And on your road to Zion,
Stop for the broken and battered, they’re trying
To break the mold- no storybook told,
To inherit the fire, you’ve gotta get burned
All that we’ve learned, in the places we go
When the world is too heavy, and lost all control...
Leave all the things that would keep us down-
It’s all loving now.
Nothing but loving now in this heart of mine.

In this heart of mine

(J. Hemphill)
You think you’re trouble’s what’s in front of your face
You the danger is what? Whatever gets in your way
You think the future’s just one of your simple plans
And then one day you stop, and maybe think again...
We don’t have details on God, we don’t know why we are here-
But in the darkness sometimes is when it’s all really clear-
When the night is long, the morning always comes-
With all this questioning, answer it with your love

(T. Young)
Don’t hold back if there are things you wanna say
Can’t take for granted when tomorrow is today
Should have done something when you had the chance to take
Won’t mean nothing when tomorrow’s yesterday
I hear the people, and they’re speaking up
The message is: that we need more love
Bring us together now, to make our children proud
Getting through these times, proving that we can make it out

This heart of mine

+ 13. Fall Like Rain

(Written by Jacob Hemphill)

Fall Like Rain

We build these walls inside ourselves
We get afraid to ask for help
Cause in the past, the help just hasn’t healed your soul
You see this person in the mirror
Sometimes we wish that it was clearer
Sometimes we wish that we just couldn’t see at all

We are who we are
We build and we break
We rise and we fall
We give and we take
We love without a reason
We smile through the pain
And we’ve been here before, and we’re coming again,
oh God we fall like rain

You see the life you’re leading now,
The one you cannot live without;
It’s connected to the moon and the stars
We are the children of the light
Going bravely into night
We fighting daily in this heavenly war

And we are who we are

We are the future and the past
We are the good and we’re the bad
We are the prophet and the preacher in one
We are the blessing and the curse
We are the blessed and the worst
We get a chance to deserve our life before we’re gone

And we are who we are

Thank God we fall like rain

We always fall like rain

I see us fall like rain
