[Verse 1]
Mama knows best
Water not getting better
Spewing out
Blacker than pollution in the weather
Every summer
Drying faster than Sahara
No meat, no milk
Animals relying on the weather

[Bridge 1]
High emissions
Of cold lead
In the veins and brains
Of many children left dead
Waiting for the truck of life
To pass on by
Comes travelling down like a pharaoh
Cash in tears falling from your eyes

[Verse 2]
You don't bat an eye
To see the terror
Happening miles & miles away from your own hood
Lands of sand &
Not a drop of water
Starving families with mothers, sons, and daughters

[Bridge 2]
Whatever you do to the earth
You're doing to your children
The world works in cycles &
So is the life of man

[Verse 3]
You don't bat an eye
To see the terror
Happening miles & miles away from your own hood
Lands of sand &
Not a drop of water
Starving families with mothers, sons, and daughters

[Instrumental Break]

[Coda]
The heart of man turns away from nature;
Will quickly harden to stone

The heart of man turns away from nature;
We'll quickly harden to stone

Saharan Riptide (Live / 08-31-21')

[Verse 1]
Not allowed to strum the same chord
A blooming rose in moonlight
Torn from thorn to thorn
Ties that bonded me
Have got me quite mis-screwed
Sounds of happiness
Withered and misused

[Bridge]
No time to cry
The days are brand new
An all-time high
Our path has been skewed

Change is gonna do you good

[Chorus]
Forever love is all I hold
To keep these tunes in bloom
For me and you
So stomp your heart out
Let's push on through
Give sounds that groove &
Move you to the truth

[Coda]
Change is gonna do you good
Change is gonna do you good

You need some change in your life
You're gonna feel alright

Change Is Gonna Come (Live / 08-31-21')

[Verse 1]
Washed up or dried out
We'll go out with the fish
Catch you on the flip
When the polarities shift
Cosmic radiation
Frying cells and circuits
Flying high is your cessation
Navigation is dead

[Bridge 1]
Trek miles to Mars
Pollute & park cars
Inhabit another planet
Screw it all to watch it fall
Then DO IT AGAIN!
Cuz we can't learn the lesson

[Verse 2]
Nights in the southern sky
A peak from the sun
Different color tones
Sight so beautiful
It's the end of us
Underground is where we're bound
Micro waves emit; civil war, superstorms
The ship gon' take a hit

[Bridge 2]
From the sun hot heat
So good, the last thing we'll see
It's love hun
Don't keep your lips shut
C'mon speak
I've hit the crux
Please give me what I need

[Chorus]
Way down is where the town will be
Away from this world
Lost in eternity

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
The air that we breathe is ceasing to be
Crops and wild life going extinct
'Lites falling from the sky
Bad boy, no more t.v
Head outside, an endless walk
With the girl of your dreams

[Coda]
Way down is where the town will be
Away from the world
Lost in eternity

Way down is where the town will be
Away from the world
Lost in eternity

Big Ship (Live / 08-31-21')

[Verse 1]
They called us walking corpses
Unholy living dead
They had to lock us up
Put us in their British hell

[Verse 2]
Make sure your face is clean now
Can't have no dirty dead
All the corpses here are clean, boy
All the Yanks in British hell

[Chorus 1]
I don't wanna be here in your London Dungeon
I don't wanna be here in your British hell
Ain't no mystery why I'm in misery in Hell
Here's hoping you're swell

[Verse 3]
They called us walking corpses
Unholy living dead
They had to lock us up
Put us in their British hell

[Chorus 2]
I don't wanna be here in your London Dungeon
I don't wanna be here in your British hell
Ain't no mystery why I'm in misery in Hell
Here's hoping you're swell

[Verse 4]
Make sure your face is clean now
Can't have no dirty dead
All the corpses here are clean, boy
All the Yanks in British hell

[Chorus 3]
I don't wanna be here in your London Dungeon
I don't wanna be here in your British hell
Ain't no mystery why I'm in misery in Hell

[Coda]
Here's hoping you're swell
Here's hoping you're swell
Here's hoping you're swell
Here's hoping you're swell

London Dungeon (Live / 09-11-21')

[Verse 1]
Where did all the time go?
I took a blink
Oh how time sinks
Now you're gone & I
Took it all for granted
But your touch and the memory remains
Buried in my veins

[Chorus 1]
Winter Nostalgia
Has taken over me
I'm lonely this Christmas & I
I haven't been set free

[Verse 2]
Joy has left me
& it's so so cold
My frozen heart aches for your arms
Oh the feeling of your touch I (hold)

[Chorus 2]
Winter Nostalgia
Has taken over me
I'm lonely this Christmas & I
Haven't been set free
From your love & the memories

Winter Nostalgia

Big Ship (Live / 09-05-21')

[Verse 1]
In troubled waters
She's my harbor
But nowadays
She's there no longer
And I
Oh, how I cry, yeah

[Verse 2]
She's lied
I've cried
But don't pity me
If fate says it's so
I'll be swallowed by the sea
Please set me free
Oh please baby

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
In troubled waters
She was my harbor
But nowadays
I drown in sorrow
No fear of the waves
A curse sent from sea
To sail with no love
Is a death soon to be

Hang The Jib (Live / 09-05-21')

[Verse 1]
Not allowed to strum the same chord
A blooming rose in moonlight
Torn from thorn to thorn
Ties that bonded me
Have got me quite mis-screwed
Sounds of happiness
Withered and misused

[Bridge]
No time to cry
The days are brand new
An all-time high
Our path has been skewed

Change is gonna do you good

[Chorus]
Forever love is all I hold
To keep these tunes in bloom
For me and you
So stomp your heart out
& push on through
Give sounds that groove &
Move you to the truth, yeah

New Luna Jam (Live / 01-29-22')

[Verse 1]
We intend to cause havoc
We intend to cause havoc
In your mind
In your time
You will see
What we have seen
Oh

[Chorus 1]
You will see the ones
Who turn themselves blind
W.I.T.C.H.

[Verse 2]
We intend to cause havoc
We intend to cause havoc

[Chorus 2]
You will see the ones
Who turn themselves blind
W.I.T.C.H.

[Verse 3]
We intend to cause havoc
We intend to cause havoc
In your mind
In your time
You will see
What we have seen
Oh I said

[Chorus 3]
In your mind & in your own time
You will see what we have seen
W.I.T.C.H.

W.I.T.C.H.

W.I.T.C.H

[Verse 1]
What'd i do to you, baby
What did i do to deserve your pain
What'd i do to hurt you, baby
I never want to make you feel this way
I just want you feeling good

[Chorus 1]
Feelin' good, baby
Feelin' good
Feelin' good

[Verse 2]
I want you lifted off your toes
Lets get in bed and do the rock and roll
With your eyes closed and your mind smiling to the sky
You pull me tight to tell me everything's alright
What did i do
To make me feel this good

[Chorus 2]
Feel this good baby
Feelin' good
Feelin' good

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 3]
Oh yeah, feelin' good baby
Aw feelin' good
Yeah feelin' good

Summertime Tombstones 

What'd I Do?

[Verse 1]
Gypsy girl, dancin' on the side of a downhill lane
Gypsy gal, spoke of foreign lands with the rising sands
Disowned by her father and her mother too
Confessing her life that turn out to be true
Luring you in to relieve her pain
You're not so sure if the misses is sane

[Chorus 1]

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Gypsy girls and hippie guys
Walkin' round the streets in the city lights
Livin' life, some others think its not right
Taking her on a midnight drive
To the moon queens tide
Tonight we ride
For the point of life
Is just be live

[Chorus 2]

Gypsy Girl

The Slums originated in February of 2017. Founding members Randy Hip & T0NES met in their final years at Rialto High School (Rialto, CA) and began their musical journey ever since.

In the early years, you could witness weekly-persistent performances at various backyard shindigs & boardshops, while also seizing special rarities like highschools & baby showers. 

Sharing the stage with countless talented artists at events such as music festivals, local taverns and class act concert venues, the band eventually made a well-respected name in IE/OC/LA's live music scene.

The Slums have had a handful of different musicians in their certified roster, generating well distinctive eras/sounds for each year that has passed. Through trials & tribulations, it has been realized that the soul of The Slums lies within the two hearts, not one without the other. Many have come and gone. Change came and went...

In 2023, the duo continue to keep their sound alive and make their mark in Southern California day-by-day, with their latest releases Interstellar L<3ve, Valentine Tunes, & Reasons 4 Seasons

"The Journey is long... safe travels"
