SO IT SEEMS
Lyrics © Mat McHugh

Rolling down the street,
Diggin' the wind in my window
'Cause today we be high rollin'
High rollin' baby.

Life aint what it seems,
Too many people thinking money is the way to be free.
Time is golden.
Time is golden, you crazy?

Yo girl you're so sweet,
Too busy dancing to the rhythm to be shuffling your feet.
Hey where you going, hey where you going now baby?
These walls talk to me.

There's a world outside so why'm i let them trap in me?
See i'm a going, see i'm a going to baby.

And all i ever did was waste my time,
Sat upon my porch but i'm feelin' fine.
The time goes but the memory still shows,
So for now i think i'm getting me another one,
So it seems.

Rollin' down the road,
There's an old man sitting where the pothole goes.
He's aware, he's aware of what's real.
Told me to move slow,

Too many people rush then they lose their flow.
For sure we're, for sure we're not i feel.
Yo girl you're so nice,
The way you move so crazy girl it's just not right.

I don't care, i don't care what i steal,
If it makes you right.
Why're my legs feeling heavy when my head is light?
Yo there, yo there is my deal.

MUSIC
Lyrics © Mat McHugh

Hey girl i love you,
Dancing 'round like that will drive me crazy.
But why would i want you,
When it's plain you're not ever wanting me?

Well my whole life all i had was this guitar.
Never gonna be lonely when all i have is music in my heart.
Never gonna wanna be something i am not.
As i get older i'm a be happy with what i got.

'Cause i got music,
and it makes me feel alright.
Got this here music,
and it helps me ease my mind up.
'Cause i got music,
and it takes away the pain.
Got this here music,
and i got it every, every, every day.

Hey my friend's like that,
He drives all those little girls crazy.
Say did you see us,
In the background of the crowd on the TV?
On a summer's day we go and catch some morning waves.
Hanging out with my friends and the vibe can only be ok.
Just like I don't remember rainy days when i was small,
You know i won't remember hatred or nothing at all.

No tempremental alibis,
and I'm not wasting all my time.
And I am looking for the truth in this.
And i don't know just what I'll get.

LESS
Lyrics © Mat McHugh

Sunrise, sunset.
These days i won't forget.
Celebrations of our death,
When every day she's my place to rest.

And sometimes i would,
and sometimes i could be blessed.
And sometimes i should,
and sometimes i could be less.

Strange times, strange bets,
When every wager made holds my soul in debt.
Kingdoms and Queen's forget,
While we dance our way 'til life begets.

LA MAR ( the ocean )
Lyrics © Mat McHugh

This day is getting older,
in fading light it's beautiful.
This wind is blowing colder,
and too soon I'll feel it's pull.

Still, I took all my chances,
earned myself an even score.
Try to learn my lessons well.
And I don't have the answers,
for those questions anymore.

Only love can be both heaven and hell.
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
for the road is long ahead.
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
but your road is yours to tread.
And so it goes, and so it goes,
and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
mind, mind.

I've grown old on this ocean,
gave her all my stronger years.
Gave my wife my devotion,
and when she died, the ocean my tears.

I've tried to teach you well son,
all of everything i knew.
Of how to live this life be true.
Don't bow your head to no one,
and no matter what you do,
if you start then see it through.

HIGH ROLLING
Lyrics © Mat McHugh

Got caught daydreaming again,
of other words and of faulty friends.
Man how they change, you hit a rainy day
and they pull their umbrellas in.
You and me been kicking around
ever since we could remember things.
Nothing's changed, everything has changed.
Still the same as it was back then.

See good and bad they come and go,
about equally, about equally, yeah.
And worries go, yeah but memories don't.
It just get's less easy to see them.
Man in the mansion's just the same as the man on the street,
it don't mean nothing, it don't mean nothing, yeah.
Let's take it slow, man i want you to know,
that some people will be what they wan't you to see,
man why can't they see,
it.

Man he's high rolling today,
got his fingers in everything.
Plans on taking over this place,
but what will he aim for then.
Seems greed's helpful to collecting,
in your pockets but not your soul.
Sea breeze, karma philosophies,
me and my friends are richer than gold.

FREEDOM ( part 2 )
Lyrics © Mat McHugh

Well I may not be you and you not me,
but between us there are certain similarities.
Like I belive in love and the Devil will come,
looking for us if we wrong some one.

Freedom, is ours to hold.
It's just a struggle in your mind,
to keep your soul, keep your soul.
And it's old, yes it's old,
it's just a struggle in your mind to keep your soul.

Well how long you're down,
depends how you rise.
And life has a meaning so open your eyes.
The seeds that we speed into life to be trees,
will soon become fallen,
if their roots aren't deep.

CASH MONEY
Lyrics © Mat McHugh

Going, my boat's leaving today.
Gonna get down to the water,
gonna wash these blues away.
Man this city's taken too much from me,
gonna head out to the country,
find a place where i can breathe.
I've been working 9 to 5,
trying to lead a gracious life,
but my hard work only ever went to keeping me in strife.
Gonna take another road.
Gonna find myself some soul.
Gonna do my best in every way,
to pay attention as i go.

Cash money,
aint got no use for you.
Unless you can buy me true love.
And it's funny,
how many time's they've proved,
that the only true fortune you can save,
is the truth.

Slowly, time keeps slipping away.
Leaves still change their colours,
prophets lay still in their graves.
Erasing all our liberties.
Gonna take this axe, apply it,
chop injustice at its knees.
The fundamental laws,
of suffering and of its cause,
man they lay in being human.
Everybody has their flaws.
What if we could overcome,
insecurity for love ?
fear for empathy ?
education in pace of push and shove ?

BLACKBIRD
Lyrics © Mat McHugh

Gonna be a fire come.
Gonna burn a wicked man's feet.
Hate and greed gonna bring down Babylon.
That balckbird, that blackbird he said.
That blackbird, that blackbird he said.

The wind blows broken melodies,
into the feathers of a blackbird sitting on a branch beside of me.
He said you will never know, the troubles i have seen ,son.
And you should never go, the places i have been.
Lord don't you try to come with me.
Lord don't you try to come with me.

The superstitious cast their stones at me.
Let them stare into the blackness,
self importance owns the evil it breeds.
And as the river flows,
the stories that it's told, go
into the well below,
for a blackbird to swallow.
Lord don't you cry i heard them weep,
Lord don't you cry i heard them weep.

LEARN YOURSELF
Lyrics © Mat McHugh

Everybody thinks we'll fall apart.
Everybody's quick to point their fingers at what,
they think is causing the problem.
And what they don't see is what they won't see my friend.

And we've all got to learn ourselves
before we can judge some one else.

Just like the holy scriptures talk,
of a road to redemption in amongst the thorns.
The path is beset by ego and greed,
and if we don't see then we won't ever be free.

ON JUDGEMENT DAY
Lyrics © Mat McHugh

Truth come, gonna set my soul at ease.
Yes on one fine day when this world is behind me.

See judgement day, gonna set this world on fire.
Pile the wretched men on the burning funeral pyre.

So when i get, ready to lay down in my grave,
take my body home, lay my bones out in a cave.

I'll miss it here, on that sad day.

And you see me some day in your heart when i am gone.
And if you're smiling then, you know our love it will live on.
And if you're smiling then, you know our love it will live on.
