Track Name: Pipe Smoke
A little something to put in your pipe to smoke
The fumes evoke pleasure, whether you do or don’t
We live in hard times, the stress will weigh on you heavy
You wouldn’t be faced with it if you weren’t ready
We rock steady to put your mind at ease
Check, check, check, check out our melody

We’re gonna get you high tonight
We’re gonna get you high tonight (repeat)
Track Name: Sometimes Life
Verse I
Peace to violence, ha ha noise to silence
Light to dark, ignorance – intelligence
Common to rare, the tortoise and the hare
Beware of cold stares in these heat-filled nights
Where they pick pocket and fight
Despite authority, feeling a sense of superiority
I need clarity in a world filled with ambiguity
I remain anonymous, synonymous to not being known
Clutch my microphone

Chorus
Well, life is always changing
But you still ride even when it’s raining
And through the ups and downs and all arounds
You will ride, ride

Verse II
Clutch my microphone with an iron grip
Knowledge is traction, try not to slip
And fall to the floor, where they’ll continue to ignore
Everything you do, you attempt and try
Still try to sell us those lies but it ain’t gonna fly
Sometimes in life
It moves like a speeding bullet
Sometimes in life
You don’t know if you want to pull it
Sometimes in life
These are the cards that you’re dealt
So stand firm and make your presence felt
Track Name: Love is
Chorus
Love, love is what you make it to be
Love, love is sacrifice to me
Love, love is what I want you to be

Verse I
The news hit me like a ton of bricks from the twin towers
9/11/06 the date, mid afternoon hour
Hair on my arm rose, breath got short
Live in the moment, freeze-framed time got caught
Even though mom and dad were on the outs
We looked pass the past and try to figure it out
As a man I was in a catch 22
Seeing all the drama mom and dad went through
Do we stay together and try to ride things out
Put you through stress wondering what we’re fighting about?
We split and prayed to God it’ll prove the best route
After 3 years of hard work I’ve rested my doubts
Son, you’re far greater than inspiration, you’re the definition
And with that condition, all my decisions
Are made, it’s type strange
I look forward to the day when you’re at the age
We can engage in a dialogue of sorts
In this trial of life your Sun of the court

These tears you don’t see fill the sea
between you and me
Memories sting deep
Moments I miss and pass on by
In an exchange of love I swallow sacrifice
I pray formative years are not forgetful
My mind plays vivid frames of youth so eventful
Optimism and faith by the cup full
Strength and courage you’ll build like the crops grow
Don’t worry ‘bout the ending cause we’ll never know
Just live life in the moment because it’s beautiful!

Chorus
Love, love is what you make it to be
Love, love is sacrifice to me
Love, love is what I want you to be

Outro
Love, love is ohh ohh
Son you’re far greater than inspiration, you’re the definition and with that condition
Love, love is
Don’t worry ‘bout the ending cause we’ll never know, just live your life in the moment because it’s beautiful
I said love is, love is what you make it to be
Don’t worry bout the ending cause we’ll never know, live in the now cause it’s beautiful
Love is, love is sacrifice to me
You were made from love and all the above
Love, love is, love is, love is what you make it
Track Name: Real recognize real
Verse I
A born reengage lyricist
With penmenship that’s equisite
Label me a hater if I don’t feel it, I’ll reveal it
Logic’s your conscious, your train of thought
Just listen, open up your ears, gain vision
Shits real, gets ill when we’re on the track
Maui’s on the map, just in case you forgot that
Catch more than a chin tap if you disrespect
We come in peace until peace is broken, you hear that?
It only takes one page, trained to bring pain and harm
Books of phenomenal songs
Repertoire baby par, from beginning to end
They say it’s real but we know that it’s just pretend

Verse II
I’m on the edge where I’ve been pushed
It’s doesn’t stop here, it’s only begun to come clear
Set fear in the hearts of an economy
I’m looked at as a commodity in a profit-gaining monopoly
A yo, it’s hard for me to hold my patience
While the media rapes it, tries to mold and mutate it, state it’s X-rated
Fuck that, I ain’t holding my tongue this year
Come on I wanna hear, come on I wanna hear
The media is pumping fear in the hearts of the youth
I’ve taken responsibility to expose the truth
This year we ain’t playing the rear
We standing front and center and the message is clear
Fox News are some bad dudes
Spreading that wack news
Propaganda, libel, slander
High post commander, finger on the trigger
Let go bodies are counted as figures
Track Name: If you want me to stay
Verse I
If you want me to stay
I’ll be around today but I gotta me, drama-free
Music plays, every stage, every mic, every session recorded
Writes a page of our story, late nights into mornings
I know it’s not easy, believe me
Jealousy and envy can turn friends into enemies
You gotta get it straight, how could I ever be late
When you’re my woman taking up my time, one more time

Verse II
Well you are who you are and I am who I am
I understand this wasn’t part of the plan when we began
I loved you then left you, around full circle
I marched to a beat you just couldn’t step to
You’re feeling isolated and cold
Late at night home alone
Extra pillows heavy as stones
How will it all turn out, give it time we’ll see
But for me to stay here you know I gotta be me

Verse III
So what’s it going to be, reality or fantasy
An Oscar or Tony, acting for the academy
Will you settle for half of me, we’ll let’s see
The apple didn’t fall far from the apple tree
Will it be comedy or tragedy
Coupled with uncertainty
I’m hurting you, you hurting me
Melancholy melodies, sincere symphonies
Beating like a timpini, stay here you gotta be kidding me
Track Name: Better days(mercy me)
Verse I
A yo, it’s been years in the making, molding, learning, surpassing
The old methods and forms, breaking from the norms
I’ve been caught in many storms
At the end I’ve seen the sun and seen many paths that they come from
What’s the outcome, nobody really knows
But they all prophecies, when will they realize
Don’t believe the white lies, they in front of your face
Some disgraced by they, by they race
Bump that, gotta have a higher level of understanding
This world is so demanding but who’s really commanding
It is all been told the story’s quite old I gotta unfold my scroll
And get it all together and you know I can’t slip
It’s really making me sick, the same old shit
There are steps to take plus the process takes time
I try hittin’ you my message in each rhyme of mine

Verse II
Hard times, long days plus long nights
The constant fights just to keep things right
Between you and I, you know I gotta survive
It’s just the nature of man, I can’t lose your pride
But then you cry, tears filled with lost memories
Releasing these emotions is my remedy
Plus the way I come across to you, it felt like there were too many damn obstacles
To overcome, straight up to reach my destiny
But at the same time girl you’re testing me
Saying things would never be the same
That I was a lame and this was all just a game
That you played with my heart, straight from the start
It’s tearing me apart so I gotta depart and leave now
Maybe I’ll be back later on, but if not Shea Butta sing the same song

Verse II
I look in the street and it looks like modern day purgatory
I don’t know what’s going on people lost their glory
Every other person on the street it packing heat
Plus every other person want to delete the weak
But I try to find the real soul, I’m a man
Plus I try to travel this land not hold no contraband
Baby I’m just learning and I’m yearning in these times
What’s going on, people not looking that fine
Everybody’s treating each other without respect
Long talks con Abuela make me sit and recollect
Came into this country in the search for her freedom
Built the foundation for my family’s wellbeing
Cuban Puerto Rican is my blood and my descent
Just because you boast a flag doesn’t mean you represent
No matter what you do, you say
We’ll make it through the days of grey baby this is all we say
Track Name: Movement
Verse I
A yo, it’s the L-O-G-I-C
Your very own born, bred native son
Speaking through native tongues
This Projekt movement just begun
How do you rate your emcee, by where’s he’s from?
Cause I’m universally located anywhere on Earth
Rotating, debating my destination and what’s it’s worth
Stray away from your ordinary, conventional methods of music
Contaminate the youngins make you choose it
Wisely, man it don’t surprise me
Currently cats are concerned with currency
Concurrently the truth is getting missed
Man I’m getting pissed, A-yo, can I get, can I get a witness?

Verse II
I’m not aware of too many things
But I know what I know, if you know what I mean
I’m checking the scene, I listen to the airwaves
Can’t blame you for doing it that way, you’re getting paid
Same time you getting played, laughing behind your back
Counting your paper stacks, matter of fact
Put it blunt, plain and simple, you’re definition of wack
So for you, we gonna sit here and dedicate this track
So for you we gonna sit here and dedicate this track
So for you we gonna sit here and dedicate this track
We ain’t gonna hold our tongue
We kick that culture drum
The FreeRadicals Projekt has just begun
We ain’t gonna hold our tongue
We kick that culture drum
The FreeRadicals Projekt has just begun
We ain’t gonna hold our tongue
We kick that culture drum
