On the Basis of Something Superficial
i let my feelings drive me insane
on the basis of something confidential
i let my emotions control my game
on the assumption of certain circumstances
i premeditated my aim
on the basis of something superficial
i'm doing twenty to life for the same
So my brother's younger sister told me
so that would her my sister too
don't no matter who told the story
but iI believe it all to be true
On the basis of something superficial
I let my feelings drive me insane

(Jade Verse 1)
You pour your honey thick on me baby
sweet like rub-a-dub
there ain't no selector like you who can mix me
up from roots or dancehall
you light me up
you mash it up
i'm going bananas
we go for rides
on your motorbike
to the Tropicalia
You wine and dine me
wind and grind me
so i wonder why
when Cali walks by
your eyes turn counterclockwise
(Chorus)
You're lips are sweet
but your love tastes like sour candy
I'm not sour candy nuh-uh
You're lips are sweet
but your love tastes like sour candy
My love's not sour candy, uh-uh
i don't want another love that tastes bitter
i'm the flavor in your world
Your lips are sweet but your love is like sour candy
i'm your man, you're my girl
up north, down south
west side, east side
you know i bring it
and that ain't no jive
(Jade verse 2)
It's honestly embarrassing that i could get so jelly
i need off this hamster wheel
i can't sleep ever since you kissed me
(Jah Ques verse 2)
I know
She want to cruise on a rasta bike
Stalk my facebook comments and likes
she want to answer my phone
can't leave me alone
and always quick to fight
and when she spend the night
you would think that'd make it right
she want to organ squeeze
and only tease me
shoulder colder than ice. brrrrr
gal i run things
gal i run things
gal even run the me at night
gal i run up the mountain
run with doubt and
even dudes i dont like
Man on his knees
man begging please
man even risks his own damn life ayyy
my life is the sweetest thing in the town
(Chorus)
You're lips are sweet
but your love tastes like sour candy
I'm not sour candy nuh-uh
You're lips are sweet
but your love tastes like sour candy
My love's not sour candy, uh-uh
i don't want another love that tastes bitter
i'm the flavor in your world
Your lips are sweet but your love is like sour candy
i'm your man, you're my girl
up north, down south
west side, east side
you know i bring it
and that ain't no jive

Did you know the revolution wont be televised
when your TV's on repeat set to hypnotize
stronger as one and weaker when divide
so be mindful of your foolish false pride
To them it's just a game
playing with we life
pyramid scheme
watch them take a slice.
Hate crime, poverty, unemployment
so much thing up on the rise
gangster right in front we eyes, good god
Revolution song
to help the weakest we must be strong
Revolution song
stand by your brothers where you belong
Revolution song
for the sake of our children we'll fight til they're gone
Revolution song
all my people we've been oppressed for too long
Boom! Some go feel cause some go here
the judgement extreme, my people beware
open up your eyes and clean out your ears
clear out your nostrils, sniff out the air
the time is now and the bass is here
cellphone with cameras are everywhere
millions of views and it it just now share
it makes some cry and some don't care
some going to fight and some despair
R - revolution the time i feel is real
E - everyone is entitle to its'
V - little wins lead to victories
O - our fathers bled and died for this
L - look and listen, learn from mysteries
T - take the time and gather, we'll achieve
Martin Luther did him have a dream
Revolution song
to help the weakest we must be strong
Revolution song
stand by your brothers where you belong
Revolution song
for the sake of our children we'll fight til they're gone
Revolution song
all Jah people we've been oppressed for too long
too long
for far too long
stand up strong

You're so so high baby
that's how you make me feel
i know i'm not that crazy
i know this love is real
you know you've got me sweating
and working overtime
i'm spending all my spare change
my nickels and my dimes
you're like sunshine and chocolate
melting in my pocket
sunshine and chocolate
melting in my pocket
some things just taste oh so sweet
can't it out my head
fulfilling all my cravings
so sweet like cocoa bread
and i can't shake this feeling
cause i ain't that uptight
you're hearing what i'm saying
fulfills my appetite
you're like sunshine and chocolate
melting in my pocket
sunshine and chocolate
meltin in my pocket

Give me all the keys to your treasure
tell me all the right words to say
if i had to buy my way to heaven
i would sell my wings along the way
in your paradise surroundings
we could form a crystal sea
wanna see your socks - they're in my laundry
tell me you agree
La la la la la
take me on another wave
let's not waste a minute
my own Tsunami
la la la la la la
take me

(Verse 1)
After years under your throne
i can do it on my own
hey i just want to be free
from your power over me
i can finally breathe
but you won't let me
you won't let me be
(bridge)
Bombs are dropping
please stop your shooting
i'm bubbling over
you took it too far
this is the end
retaliate, retaliate
(chorus)
Baby when you whither
you're gonna bloom
if you come at me swinging
you're gonna lose
put these seeds in your pocket
so when you die
sunflowers will take over
and grow to the sky
(Verse 2)
I'll work the rest of my life
to get you out of my twisted mind
all the tricks you pull
i've paid my debt in full
i took responsibility
you can blame it all on
blame it all on me
(chorus)
Baby when you whither
you're gonna bloom
if you come at me swinging
you're gonna lose
put these seeds in your pocket
so when you die
sunflowers will take over
and grow to the sky

(Verse 1)
A little bit of love
just enough to hang onto
i'll be praying to the heavens
way up there beyond you
they say you only get what you put inside
let's pull it all together
go along for the ride
like
Who's that?
faster don't crash
passin everybody
catching em like ash
moving into the center
where the light begins
i'll be calling dark managers
my long lost friend
that's a lie
off to find new love
it's been a long time coming
but i've had enough
and i've been thinking of residue
and drinking about the club
and i think it's going to be a long night
Lump lump going lump em up
and i'll be pummeling you suckers
when you pass the buck and i'mma
lump lump going to tidy up
and i'll be riding for you brotha
when your time is up
excuse me, recuse myself
and i'll be altogether gone like my mental health
i'm like ding ding
while they're singing my song
i'll be playing king kong in a game of ping pong
(chorus)
i dont really care if you're on this or that side
i'm just going along for the ride
take a step away and let the drama subside
i'm just going along for the ride
(Verse 2)
Break it all down
put it back together
and it really doesn't matter
the change is in the weather
the rain goin come
the rain can come
strike me back down
if i curse the sun
i just run em over
with the thunderous drums
look out i lump sums
i'm the smuggest of bums
he said, she said
the sheep get bled, but at least they're fed
i'm a monster playing piano outside
i smash their little fingers
with the power of god
they're like stick-up kids
lifetime bids
look at all the bullshit that they did
Lump Lump gonna humpty-dump
i'm gonna leave it in a letter while i spill my guts
Lump lump gonna tidy up
and i'll be riding for you honey
when you're time is up
don't ask the rain while she's dancing why
little children are hungry and gonna die
we'll have to answer in that final moment
for that bad stuff that we done
Keep looking inside
hang on real tight
go for a ride
thoughts, keep em inside
hang on real tight
go for a ride
(chorus)
i dont really care if you're on this or that side
i'm just going along for the ride
take a step away and let the drama subside
i'm just going along for the ride

Loud and clear
fast like lightnin
(Verse 1)
Check it
one two three four
five six heaven
they say all dogs gonna go up to heaven
big money moves
but not my money spendin'
we meet and we cruise on a beach
in a Bentley
or a Benzie
what on your medley?
we make this whole thing look like a frenzy
they call me Swindler - hey it's a business
jump in the act - you'll find me a victim
oooh-eee swipe right i found someone
it's a match, hold tight, get ready for the fun
He'll have a valet for a meeting in dc
we have a date to meet up at the coffee at 9:30
she's really pretty but wait til she sees me
i make the headmaster get dizzy!
(Chorus()
i've been looking for love so i hopped onto tinder
on demand,
i know exactly what i want
i want a big spending, handsome man
he keeps his IG fancy
cause you know that image is everything
posing on yachts by islands
living like a dream
i'm your prince, for the weekend
come through you can get anything
then it's over, gotta go ya
bloodline modern Casanova
(Chorus()
i've been looking for love so i hopped onto tinder
on demand,
i know exactly what i want
i want a big spending, handsome man
(Verse)
Hey
time to go and hit the road
where i'm going?
why you wanna know?
yes i know
i reap what i sow
we don't catch feelings
that's not the code
How dare you?
i like it like food
i like all your skin soft and smooth
polite with a little attitude
but i loved you
gotta bust a move
I want true love
doesn't everyone want real love?
(Chorus)
i've been looking for love so i hopped onto tinder
on demand,
i know exactly what i want
i want a big spending, handsome man
I ain't looking for love
i'm looking for a weekend
sorry to tell you love's not the same to me

(verse 1)
Nice to see your face
a look and a smile no memory can erase
and close to my heart
there was feelings for a while
now we're back far apart
(chorus)
It's a lockdown love
a love we are sure of
it's a lockdown love
a love there's no cure of
It's a lockdown love
there's no way out now
it's a lockdown love
maybe you can show me how
(verse 2)
I wear a mask
to hide the feelings i feel inside
and when people ask
i smile and tell them i'm doing just fine
but i'm building a wall
stockpiling reasons not to feel this way
when this blows over
maybe i'll say what i mean to ssay
(chorus)
It's a lockdown love
a love we are sure of
it's a lockdown love
a love there's no cure of
It's a lockdown love
there's no way out now
it's a lockdown love
maybe you can show me how
(Verse 3 / breakdown)
Testin testin one and two
jah jah ques up on your iphone
who are you?
i am woman feeling all alone
how are you?
said she want me in her love zone
come on through
the lockdown it is a lot now for me too
just keep it locked up on the telephone
this will do ok
(Verse 4)
Nice to see your face
a look and a smile no memory can erase
and close to my heart
there was feelings for a while
now we're back far apart
(chorus)
It's a lockdown love
a love we are sure of
it's a lockdown love
a love there's no cure of
It's a lockdown love
there's no way out now
it's a lockdown love
maybe you can show me how
maybe you can show me how
maybe you can show me how
maybe you can show me how

Verse 1
Ive been sick
this sick ain't normal
i'm so longing for your smile
i feel weak
and oh so lonely
afraid to say it's been a while
i have something to say
it's not an earful
it's an emergency
let's get together
share that real love
you're my healer
you're my remedy
Verse 2
I'm burning up
with a fever
don't want no drink
don't want no food
and everyday the pain grows deeper
each minute that passes i dont have you
i have somethings to say
it's not an earful
it's a critical emergency
let's get together
and show the real love
you're my healer
you're my everything
Breakdown
Verse 3
went to the doctor
to work me out
diagnosis just the blues
there aint no way
i will get better
until ive had my dose of you
i have somethings to say
it's not an earful
it's a critical emergency
let's get together and show the real love
you're my healer
baby you're my remedy
