The Paths that We Take
The paths that we take
Scratching my head
Trying to find the solution
To everyday problems leaving me disillusioned
"Less restrictions" are said to be a treat
Just watching the dangers as I leap
It's never easy - lot of pitfalls and huge holes
Feeling wheezy - distracted from achieving my goals
One wrong step could mean trouble
So inept - slip sliding in a double
I need a refill - slowly reaching a standstill
Running on this treadmill - struggling uphill
As I'm weighing up my chances
Not planning sly advances
Different era - new circumstances
The choices we make
Then it suddenly hits me
It's like the “game of kings”
Take charge of your destiny
Don't just see what life brings
Don't wait for an epiphany
“Candidate moves” need to be found
This ain't jeopardy
Step back - check out the options around
Pick out 3 - 4 looking sound
To find the optimal - the choice most valuable
The paths that we take
Yeah - should be personal
The paths that we take
The choices we make
In our lives

We Keep Destroying the World
We keep destroying the world - As it twirls
For me it's a mystery with all that history
Need to touch ground
Enough is enough of this merry go round
Getting dizzy and bewildered now let’s nail this one down
Over and over falling into same trap
For ever and ever stepping into the same crap
So devastating seeing lands divided
How they can be so misguided?
Divide and conquer to feel empowered
It's the enemy's hour - they need to devour
You'd think once bitten twice shy
I guess the effect blurs as time goes by
Committing blunder after blunder
No end to the thunder
For me it's a mystery with all that history
Why we keep on going under
Feeling the union I live in
In this continent I dwell in
Things weren't decided on emotion
Our destiny deliberately chosen
So excuse my confusion
When I see the lack of fusion
Feeling the union I live in
Just one world we’re given
Let's focus on unity - at least socially
Steering unanimously
Enough conflicts division
Let’s make that our decision

Sincere
They claim they’re being sincere
In all that you hear
“Ain’t committing no crime” they say
Time after time
2019 - Green Man and Kingz spreading the word
From Colonia to the whole wild world
More decency more grace
Take heed of the powers that strike upon you
So-called “news” slapping you left right and centre
Network jungle blurring the issue
Unruly behaviour beyond peradventure
Some like to shock - some need the fright
Backing the left - the right
Regardless of the plight
Can’t they see their duty?
Can't they cease their ruthless rapacity?
Lacking objectivity
Misuse - abuse of the words in the story
Can’t they see their duty?
Can't they cease their ruthless rapacity?
Merely shaking your head to the headlines you read
Protest - Rebel - “speak up” I plead
Merely shaking your head to the headlines u read
Protest - rebel instead - “speak up" is my plea
Make some noise Colonia - make some noise all of ya

Changes
It's been going on for aeons
It will be going on for years to come
In this era especially - exponentially
To and fro
Getting you all to move - let's go
Nature of the current - nature of the flow
Listen - can't stop the motion
Is it worth the commotion?
Resisting the natural ways
Is it really worth the praise?
Embrace the changes
Broaden your ranges
Or hold damn tight to what you know
"Blues" in a drum and bass view

For Those Wavin’ the Flag
For those wavin’ a flag
Glorifying the rag
Kind o’ weird
Something that always bothered me
When I looked at it closely
The care people take in their pride
Where they cried their first cry
Of their nationality - being part of a majority
Basking in reflected glory
If problems arise?
Time to blame the minority
“Don’t you realise?
It's for the sake of the country”
No no no - you're mistaking me
There's nothing wrong with a healthy sense of national identity
It's a delusion of a nationalist
To exclude others in cold blood claiming that life's bliss
So conceited arrogant and egotistical
They don't care if the changes for others are detrimental
And them be calling themselves patriotic
They just don't get it!
In defence of the weak
They're just "tagging along"
Their future’s bleak
So they just want to be among
You're lucky If the cap fits - wear it
It doesn't? Well tough shit - bear it
This desire for othering
Is not an innate quality
On the contrary
Time after time in history
We're justifying war - claiming we’re defenders
Killing the small - we're just pretenders
For once take up the viewpoint of the other
Not always assuming our culture or nation is better
So much energy wasted for the wrong cause
When we could be getting closer
Avoiding senseless wars
Time could be spent on cooperation
Enriching the diversity of our nation
Yeah
Let's devote ourselves to cooperation
Enriching the diversity of our nations

Time to come out - out of your shell
If you wanna feel great - wanna excel
Let down your guard and follow your heart
Let's chance a new start
What's behind is simply the past
Your guard's up high made to last
Lower it down and see the light
Greet the sun - she shines so bright

Feeling Fresh
In goes all the goodness around you
Out goes all the trouble you’re going through
Coz the golden way to elevate in this day and age
Is to meditate and reach a new state
Feeling fresh - Feel
Coz the golden way to elevate
Is to meditate in this day and age

The Moment is Now
It’s here
Time is now ripe
Face your fears now face life
Like feelin’ the vibe of the drum and the bass
The time is now - the time is in your face
The moment is real so real
For all to feel
Forget the past - Forget the future
No matter where you’re from - your culture
Endeavour to live here to live now
It’s clear so clear like the sound
It’s clear so clear - the moment is now
Green Man & Kingz 2016
Face your fears now - face life
The moment is now
