Description: 2015 California Roots Artist: Jon Wayne and The Pain

While Positive J (front man for TreeHouse!) was traveling through L.A. he met up with Nick Sefakis (guitarist for Iya Terra), and Sefakis produced and featured on this latest track. A straightforward, yet progressive, roots groove with an ominously appropriate message for the times.

Bring it to the Light (feat. Nick Sefakis)

"Bring It To The Light" (feat. Nick Sefakis)

No Worries

Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, the seven piece “Reggae / Rap / Rock” fusion, Shrub, has been rapidly gaining momentum and building a solid national fan base since being voted by readers as High Times Magazine’s Unsigned Band of the Month in September of 2010.

Recently, Shrub released their first full length album, Highceratops, which debuted in the Top 10 on the iTunes Reggae Charts. The album features guest appearances by C-Money from Slightly Stoopid, Dubmatix, and Kimberly Freeman from One-Eyed Doll.

The band garners comparisons to artists like: Sublime, The Dirty Heads, Atmosphere, Gym Class Heroes, and G. Love, but Shrub maintains an innately unique and raw sound all their own. With the addition of new guitar player, Kevin Oliver, former member of the world’s funkiest band, Parliament/Funkadelic (George Clinton), Shrub’s sound has now quickly become full-grown.

“The Midwest has long been a hotbed for successful rap artists, but Shrub’s eclectic fusion of rap, reggae, and rock brings a whole new flavor to the scene.”

Lyrics:
For too long my people getting shut down
We'll tell them all that it's time to rise up now
And we can groove about it sometime in this life
Take me back to that home where I wanna stay
It don't matter take my rent take my bills away
And we can groove about it sometime in this life

I never took too much I always had enough
In the palm of my hand held on by a clutch
No rush nothing we can't touch
Safe to say we stayed in this place where we wanna stay
From our darkest days to the parks we played
We tried to make the best of what we could everyday
And that's enough for us to love no rush to judge
Or jump the gun who wants to run amuk
And all the people came down and back around
We keep our feet firmly planted on the solid ground
Another day another dollar trapped by the collar
Working class working so hard breaking backs for scholars
Another news flash same cycle
If this was all written down what's the title
And could it lead our generations to greatness
And give us understanding in life so we can make it

For too long my people getting shut down
We'll tell them all that it's time to rise up now
And we can groove about it sometime in this life
Take me back to that home where I wanna stay
It don't matter take my rent take my bills away
And we can groove about it sometime in this life

When our souls speak and when our eyes weep
Feeling of emotion to this life we're devoted
Like a shepherd and sheep debts deep as the sea
Always overcoming and bridging the gap in between
And on the same page only a few
Everyone's got their own books to choose
That's the reason for the seasons changing
Times keep rearranging keep the pages turning
From the modern to the ancient
Patience a virtue ya use it to break through
Chilling out and we all way out past curfew
And these books are over due
Seeking the same cycle to reach success
But what if theres nothing left

For too long my people getting shut down
We'll tell them all that it's time to rise up now
And we can groove about it sometime in this life
Take me back to that home where I wanna stay
It don't matter take my rent take my bills away
And we can groove about it sometime in this life

"Shifting Dawn" (featuring Rymo from Slightly Stoopid & Scott Walker)

Released on June 30th, 2023
Alific Records

I wanted to create a song that would transport the listener to the beach and have them reminiscing about catching that perfect wave or enjoying the summer sun. 

Enjoy!

Lyrics (radio edit):  

[Intro]  
Time is yours, air is clear,  
smoke around, makes you high.  

[Bridge]  
Now you know, you will survive.  

[Chorus]  
Yea yea yea, yeaah yea yea,  
Shout it loud – oh oh.  

[Verse]  
World is crazy, turning mad,  
but I’m easy, leave my bed.  

[Chorus]  
Change the world, spread your love,  
every brother, every sister,  
makes a difference – oh oh.

Yea yea yea, time is yours…
