LYRICS:

Slide, let it go...

Breath all the way to the end.

Relax, and lay low...

And listen to these words

My friend, you always asked around and never did understand,

But did you take the time to see what's in your hand?

So you come around, asking why you feelin' down

You take a pack of cigarettes and smoke yourself brown...


You gotta slide

You gotta let goooo

Take all of the things you own and throw dem too far

You should relax

Otherwise you'll blow

Close your eyes and feel the presence of the person who you are

Lyrics:


He grabs the lighter 

He's ready to be the fighter

Cannot welcome the day in a better way

He never wants to get up

Until his fight is over

Now, you gotta listen what your old man says


Women won't you please...

I'm gonna make that drop.

You'll never listen, never care, 

You'll never miss a fight

Before that fight is over, 

We'll live another day

Cause you don't know what to think 

About the words that I should say.


I'm gonna start up a fire

To embellish the earth

Light up the flame that's inside us

And give the world a rehab/rebirth
