1.Come To Me
It's a crazy situation
Got to curb my expectations
The ones that I put on others too
And when people try to lay one down on you
You got to step
Move to your left and put up your fend
Don't leave yourself so open again
Hands up high push it to the right
I'm not gonna let you make me feel uptight
Cause I'm keeping a little something
Keeping a little something of myself
Hey, we don't have time for your negative style
No we don't
We don't, no we don't
Hey, we don't have time for your negative vibe
No we don't
We don't, no we don't
You know it takes some work to get that positive vibe
And some people they just don't get it sometimes
So you want to play it cool?
Now tell me who is the fool
You got to step
Move to your left and put up your fend
Don't leave yourself so open again
Hands up high twist it to the right
I'm not gonna let you make me feel uptight
Cause I'm keeping a little something
I'm giving a little something of myself
2.Slingshot
The tighter you wind it up
The harder it's gonna hit you and
The faster that you run is how much quicker it will catch you
You can't escape from yourself
(Repeat)
You pushed it until it snapped
But now I wouldn't turn your back cause
When you least expect it's gonna
Grab you by the neck kid and ...
Now that you've made a mess
Now that you've made a mess
Slingshot
Slingshot
The sum of all your actions
Slingshot ? Slingshot get ya
And it's coming back round
Yes, it's coming back round ? Hey!
Simmer down your temper now
Don't inflame your problem
With each step that you're making
Sends you in the wrong direction
Holding on to everything
(Repeat)
Love is given, taken away
Never take more than you give I say
Life has a way of telling us
When your causing a mess or fuss and
I can hear it coming closer
(Repeat)
What you give, it's coming back to you
(Repeat x3)
I can hear it coming closer
(Repeat)
3.Take Your Chances
Believes in love but never lets it show
Holds back words that could bring so much more but
She believes there is love in sight
But still can't make up her mind
Over the hills she went
Across the sea to sand
To search for what could mean so much more
So elusive that tainted lover
And what you want take your chances
And he'll be standing there as a friend
(Repeat)
So you never got all the cards
You take a look and you see you're holding everyone
Many sides to love in sight
But you still can't make up your mind
Over the hills she went
Across the sea to sand
To search for what could mean so much more
So elusive that tainted lover
Seems so easy to get all caught up in
What should be so innocent
You've been hurt and we know it's tough friend
With what you want take your chances
He'll be still standing there as a friend
4.Love Is A Radiation
Love is a radiation
It's everywhere you go
And even in times of desperation
The people still let it show
Love is a celebration
It's the smile that goes around
And if it comes before you
It's too hard to turn it down
Bring forth the goodness in your spirit
Sharing the kindness of your heart
Open your mind to its existence
Release the pressure building up
Love is a meditation
Yes it calms a worried mind
But having someone
Thats the real thing
And is truly hard to find
Love is a radiation
(Repeat x3)
Bring forth the goodness in your spirit
Sharing the kindness of your heart
Open your mind to its existence
Release the pressure building up
5.Send A Message
Every action, causes a reaction
Through the constellations, of natural selection
We are connected through the chain of life
From the beginning of time itself
I look through the keyhole
Into worlds unknown
See the clusters of the stars baby
Whispering tales of origin
We are affected, and we are rejected
Nurtured, and wasted
Loved, loved, loved and hated
Destroyed, destroyed and recreated
People don't close the door on Love
Is your life not knocking loud enough
Cause it does exist inside your heart
Every beat does send a message out
We're all made up of the same things yeah
Pieced together by the same things yeah
So don't you forget just
How your actions might affect us
From small ripples into waves my friend
Small ripples into waves my friend
Just be careful what you're craving yeah
Just be careful what you're craving
We are affected, and we are rejected
Nurtured, and wasted
Loved, loved, loved and hated
Destroyed, destroyed and recreated
6.Make A Move
Well, is it one step forward or two steps back
Who really wants to know
As we dance with the mysteries of the machines
Driving us through history maybe to dust
Now we are placed to embrace we got to keep searching
How long will the fires burn
With the stories that we're told who gets to tell them
Trying to shock us to change our view
Think the caught us in the middle
Time to make our move
In each day projections to make us numb to what we really want
As we slave to the rhythm seems like our only defense
As they are slaves to the gun
Now we are placed to embrace we got to keep searching
How long will the fires burn
With the lies that we are told who gets to tell them
Trying to shock us to change our view
Think they caught us in the middle
Time to make a move
Between the lines in the riddle trying to see some truth
Time to make our move
(Repeat x3)
Between the lines in the riddle trying to see some truth
Think they caught us in the middle
Time to make our move
(Repeat)

8.One Step At A Time (Acoustic)
Listen to the winds of change
Bring forth a brighter day
And hold on to your hat now
Or it could blow away
Tighten your grip and hold on
Just take a sip and move on
You'll never be the same again
Your future's embracing a new direction
What can you say. Every little things gonna be o.k.
Open the gate. Now is your time to play
And listen to your heart conversing
Conversing with your soul
And don't you forget now
That nobody really knows yeah
It's gonna take me one step at a time baby
Moving forward with all my Love
Help me to be a better man
Share with me all the lessons learnt
(Repeat)
Nobody really knows. The true meaning of this life
You got to find out for yourself
People try and run you down but
All you have to do is step away, step, step, step
And people try and drag you down but
All you have to do is step away, step, step, step
9.Bulletproof
Time to let go in so many ways
Feeling like my soul has been misplaced
When looking for what is real on the roundabout
Is it left or right I can't see the way out
And all the words you give me are true
Sometimes we don't see eye to eye
Our history shapes us we can't deny
Stray from the shadows and the reasons why
The dust is off our wings it's time to fly
And all the words you give me are true
You know I'm safe inside in your god
And now I realize I never call
Well here come the arrows but I know
I'm not bulletproof
I'm not bulletproof
Now there will come a day and I'll see you smile
Given me your love you made me try
To see past the shadows and the reasons why
Always in my heart a part of my life
And all the words you give me are true
You know I'm safe inside in your god
And now I realize I never call
Well here come arrows and the stones
Well here come the arrows but I know
I'm not bulletproof
(Repeat x4)

11.Afrophone
You don't know me
Like I know myself
So don't assume
What you cannot know
There's what you think
And there's what's fact
But only I can tell you
Just where I'm at
There's what is real
And what your dreaming
So don't get confused
With what you want believe
Analyse yourself
Before you criticize me
I wouldn't do that to you
That's not how I want to be
Hey hey
So take it easy, take it easy
Take it easy, let me do my thing
You don't know me
And you don't own me
So please don't assume
What you cannot know
You don't know me
But I bet you wish you did
So take it easy
And let me do my thing
Take it easy! (x4)
And let me do my thing
12.Strugglers
Who's gonna help those struggling
Who's gonna watch their backs for them
With no water in their well
And no food for the fire
Good people if you understand
It doesn't take much to lend your hand
And give to those less fortunate
What they cannot get themselves
You can close your eyes
It wont go away
Burgers and fries while the struggler pays
You shoe off the flies
They still hang around
Feel the vultures staring down at ya
You can't hide from what you know is true
There's always someone else worse off than you
And if there was something that you could do
Would you reach out and do it?
Intelligent people of this land
Help with ya neighbour if you can
Don't be afraid to lend your hand
Take what you need
And give what you can
Do it, give what you can
(Repeat x2)
13.Rotten Apple
Can't put it down. Can't pick it up
Can't put it down no
Can't pick it up. Can't can't can't can't can't pick it up
But that day is coming
Get to the point that sticks, in your side
But that day is coming
Get to the point that sticks, in your side
But that day is coming
A change is coming, turning of the page
Letting go of all frustration and what is selfish gain
Won't be afraid and we can get fooled
By insecure thoughts trying to take over and trying to rule
No one to blame, and no excuses
So easy to paint a picture and feel that we can't undo
What we think we are from what we're told
Healing of the soul reshape the path to walk into your arms
And I will embrace now and I will be true
Ain't letting this pain compromise the love that I have for you
Can't put it down no. Can't pick it up
Can't put it down. Can't pick it up
Can't can't can't can't can't pick it up
But that day is coming
Get to the point that sticks, in your side
But that day is coming
Get to the point that sticks, in your side
But that day is coming
Get to the point that sticks, in your side
But that day is coming
