Second single off the album 🎶 A song about stepping in our fullness, together.
lyrics
Tell 'em you're cookin' with magic
They talkin' 'bout practice
And don't know the half
This is our living room, home court advantage
You're walking your path, and finding your balance
Trusting your map, challenging rambles
Questioning answers, stray from the pack
Fam are your anchors
Because if life isn't art, then what are we crafting
What does it mean to be happy
What is a dream without action
You’re flipping with the script, and you're asking
Can you really live without acting
Cuz you cannot spit without dancing
Your life is your canvas, channel your passion
Change all the channels, channel the planets, dammit
Be your own living example
Keep bumping your drafts, and try to keep channelin' Zac
Put wings on your back, and things in your bag, and sing ‘em some magic
Understand where you're standing, they couldn’t stand it, raising the standard
Give ‘em a sample, this is resistance
Laugh at the system, laugh at the system
Make your sandbox, just never build your castle on sandlots
Can’t kill kingdoms just by saying lots
Life full of chapters, we are the authors
We got water and air, they take it in often
Let us pick up on our calling
All of us really have something to offer
When there ain't no rain
There ain't no flowers
When there ain't no rain
There ain't no flowers
When there ain't no rain
There ain't no flowers
When there ain't no rain
There ain't no flowers
When we need rain
Do you
Do you
Do you
Do you
Do you
Do you
Do you
Do you
What if I wait but my day ain't coming
Threw it all away and I'm made for nothing
I know what they say, am I wasting something
No way
Just do your thing
Just do your thing
What else there to do
Do you
What else there to do
Do you
What else there to do
Do you
We like rhymes reaching and teaching
We like reason when it’s rhyming
The future is written in our eyelids
But we're wondering where the sign is
You are the love of your life
When you need guidance
Look inside and
Come with compassion, mission of passion
Companions to ride with
Community striving to guide you
A compass for deciding, something to remind us
When the fight gets tiring, and light starts dying
We’re still here and still smiling
We threw a pair of dice at whatever paradise is
like if paradise ain’t apparent
I’m fine, daring til I find mine
Paradigms in my state of mind
I hope that you know this
All my homies, I hope you know this
You shine, and you got your soul still
Shine homie, you’re on your solstice
Paradise could be wherever you thrive
Oasis could be like somewhere inside
Find it, wish you rhythm and timing
Everything aligning
When there ain't no rain
There ain't no flowers
When there ain't no rain
There ain't no flowers
When there ain't no rain
There ain't no flowers
When there ain't no rain
There ain't no flowers
When we need rain
Do you
Do you
Do you
Do you
Do you
Do you
Do you
Do you
What if I wait but my day ain't coming
Threw it all away and I'm made for nothing
I know what they say, am I wasting something
No way
Just do your thing
Just do your thing
What else there to do
Do you
What else there to do
Do you
What else there to do
Do you
