Change is overdue!
Full lyrics

I'm tired of being down all the time i wish that you would lift me up
I'm tired of being tired all the time to face the truth would be way too much
I think of all the things you did to me and all the pain i felt in your touch
I think of all things you said, woman they add up - you said way too much
Change is coming you could smell it in the air
Don't know who you think you are but pretty girl you better think again
A storm is coming down the road - you better say what you got to say 
because your words are growing old the absolute is on its way 
I'm tired of being wrong all the time when half the time i know i'm right
I struggle with my insecurities and let you win each and every time
I used to be a stronger man i seemed to lose my confidence somwhere along the line
i need to find my balls again before the absolute gets swept behind
Change is coming you could smell it in the air
Don't know who you think you are but pretty girl you better think again
A storm is coming down the road - you better say what you got to say 
because your words are growing old the absolute is on its way

One more time!

Lyrics:

Yo Elle, That was some crazy weather, I don't know what's goin on here.

Me neither, I though I saw some lights flashing in the sky.

Man, what was that?

Whew! The smoke the lights, all different colors. What's happening? 

Man I don't know but I'm a little scared. 

Same, but for some reason, I feel like dancin.

I woke up in the morning
what did I see?
Walked to the street
and I heard the J.B.s

This dude in a jump suit
Struttin by me.
In his platform boots
Are we in the 70s?

I look around and I can’t believe it.
An AMC Pacer, and a Chevy Vega,
A Ford Pinto, and old Chevrolet.
Bumpin Queen as they roll down the street.

Kids roll by me on their BMX bikes.
Banana seats and a couple of trikes.
All of them in those high tube socks.
No helmets, doin tricks off the sidewalk.

A group of teenagers up on it.
With their feathered hair like Farrah Fawcett.
And the black folks with their giant afros.
Yo the bros know how to roll.

If I’m in the 70s.
I need to know.
If I go to the skating rink
Will it be roller disco?

And if it is
Then I know that I’m in the 70s.

Disco night in the 70s.
Funkadelic and Chic.
Love in the air jammin to the beat.
O man it feels so sweet.

That night I’m walkin down the street.
Oh man, so sweet.
There it is the disco rink.
Costs a buck to get in I think. 

Whoa, I really am in the 70s.
A groovy funky skating party.
The DJ has a giant afro.
Yo spinnin the old school disco.

Lace up my skates time to boogie down.
Roller disco in a 70s town.

The girls skatin around in their hot pants 
And aviator glasses. 
Disco balls everywhere.
Nothin but love in the air.

Getting on the rink, time to get my groove on.
The DJ spinnin the tunes on Vinyl
While everyone’s goin wild.

Kool and the Gang
Earth Wind and Fire.
I can smell the love in the air.
this 70's groovy atmosphere. 

Disco night in the 70s.
Funkadelic and Chic.
Love in the air jammin to the beat.
O man it feels so sweet.

Yo Elle, that was a crazy day in the 70s.

Right? Wild!

That rink was helladope though.

So psychadelic. I'm not sure how we got here but I'm thinkin I wanna stay.

Yea, I feel that.  I'm might just wanna stay too.

In local news, the Portland Metro area seems to be engulfed by a sense of love in the air.  Neighbors helping neighbors and friends and family all living harmoniously. On the sunset highway and countless side streets and back roads, there have been numerous reports of motorists dancing in the their cars to the beat of the music. And speaking of love in the air, don't forget to pick up a copy of Elle and Cozmo Jethro's new record produced by Villatic and DKODA with DJ Real on the wheels of steel on the b side. This is Mark Workhoven reporting for KEX.

Chrysalis (Instrumental)

All I see along the road
strays and tramps
with no home

and I would die for some company
from east to west
I'm on my own

I just have enough
for some gas and junk
wonder by the end
was it worth enough?

but it's just the same old Anchorage
and I'm lost between
courage and rage
and I wonder if it's not too late
I should've gone in my younger age
but it's just the same old Anchorage

up in the north the road is long
the nights are cold
and the lights are low

the northern lights are the only thing
that make us hope
oh when they glow

let's hope they glow
until I'm gone

but it's just the same old Anchorage
and I'm lost between
courage and rage
and I wonder if it's not too late
I should've gone in my younger age
but it's just the same old Anchorage

but it's just the same old Anchorage
and I'm lost between
courage and rage
and I wonder if it's not too late
I should've gone in my younger age
but it's just the same old Anchorage

Lyrics:

My girl has put up with me for 21 years. So I thought I’d write a song and tell you all about it.

My girl Crissy, put’s up with me.
And all the crazy that we see.
All the craziness that comes with me.
When I’m bipolar manic, weeeeeeee!

And when I’m depressed she does what needs to be done.
There’s no one better in a crisis than my loved one.
Ya see, she grew up in a constant crisis.
So she knows what to do when everything’s unrighteous.

She knows when to cuddle to make me feel better.
She knows when it’s time to write me a love letter.
When I’m bipolar beyond help and more.
She loads me into the car and off to the psychiatric ward.

When I’m having a hemophilia bleed and can’t move.
She’s there to pick up the slack, she can do it all dude.
Yea, that’s my girl, she can do it all.
My smart beautiful wife, haha my cure all.

Whoa,
She makes everything go.
Yea, she makes everything flow.

Ya see, Crissy, she can do anything.
She has pulled off, yea some amazing things.
She grew up in a miserable home life.
Somehow she grew up to be a wonderful wife.

She makes more money than I could ever imagine.
As a pharmaceutical rep she makes a financial win.
At my job I make a fraction of what she makes.
She never holds that over my head, uh uh, no way.

My wife makes dreams come true.
We live on 2 acres with a ton of bamboo.
And when I get agitated and start acting blue.
She keeps everything together and gets us through.

She dances, she sings, she fixes things.
She’s a great mother of 4, yea that’s my queen.
In her life, she could have done anything.
But ya know what, she decided to put up with me.

That's my girl Crissy.
She doesn't get enough credit for everything she does.
Crissy, I love you and appreciate you way more than you could ever know.
Awww Yeaaaaa.

The Loop - Make Em Love Crusade - Computart & Electra Volcana

🎶 [Intro - The Edits They Keep Making] Yo— They stack the books, Fill the page, Shape the past to fit the age.

🔥 They tweak the facts, Flip the claims, Erase the names, reset the flames.

🎶 [Verse 1 - How They Keep Changing the Record] They call it learning, Call it truth, Say they teaching wisdom’s roots.

🔥 But if the past shifts, If the frame twists, Then tell me—what reality is this?

🎶 [Bridge - Why Power Always Edits the Story] Yo— It ain't about facts, Ain’t about proof, Ain’t about keeping the timeline smooth.

🔥 It’s about control, About the crown, About keeping the truth locked down.

🎶 [Verse 2 - The Consequences of False History] They mold the wars, Twist the loss, Flip the leaders, hide the cost.

🔥 They shape the heroes, Erase the blame, Make the guilty change their name.

🎶 [Bridge - How Truth Always Fights Back] Yo— They can stack the lies, Push the tales, Wrap the past inside new sails.

🔥 But truth don’t freeze, Don’t kneel, don’t stall— It finds its way through every wall.

🎶 [Verse 3 - The Awakening That Must Come] Yo— If they keep rewriting, Keep distorting, Keep acting like history’s a fortune—

🔥 Then they gon’ lose, Gon’ fail, Gon’ watch reality break the jail.

🎶 [Outro - The Reminder That Can’t Be Ignored] Yo— They better listen, Better watch, Better stop twisting the clock.

🔥 Because truth don’t bow, Don’t erase, don’t sleep— It’s gonna rise past all they keep.
