“let it ride” lyrics… 
inspired by my beautiful daughter

“let it ride” (meanings)
1. urban dictionary… “an obvious boner”
2. slang… “to ignore a comment”
3. in my lexicon… “fuck it… it’s on… lets do this!!!”


uh-oh
uh-oh
uh-oh

spending all my time biting my tongue yeah
hoping that your head, will tell you the truth
i dont like your hair, your smile or your family
hate your aspirations, i have something to shoot


you think youre so cool… i guess if you say so
your fan lives in the mirror… think he dislikes you
i know a fucking tool… and that is a know-so
fuck-you is not a come-on … just get a clue


tell me you hate me! just make my day!!
let it ride! let it ride! let it ride!!
tell me youre better! … than me i dare you!!
let it ride! let it ride! let it ride!!


tell me you see me! and how i feel now!!
let it ride! let it  ride! let it ride!!
grow a fucking pair! … do you feel me?!
let it ride! let it ride! let it ride!!

uh-oh
uh-oh
uh-oh

you think youre so cool… i guess if you say so
your fan lives in the mirror … think he dislikes you
i know a fucking tool … and that is a know-so
fuck-you is not a come-on … just get a clue


tell me you hate me! just make my day!!
let it ride! let it ride! let it ride!!
tell me youre better! … than me i dare you!!
let it ride! let it ride! let it ride!!


tell me you see me! and how i feel now!!
let it ride! let it ride! let it ride!!
grow a fucking pair! … do you feel me?!
let it ride! let it ride! let let it ride!!

leave me alone!… listen to me now!!
let it ride! let it ride! let it ride!!
tell me you get me!! fuck off and die now!!
let it ride! let it ride! let it ride!!

“drift” lyrics

(dedicated to my amazing wife. happy valentines day babe)

last night the sky was bright as my life
never so happy as i am by ur side
baby i’ll go where the river flows
looking at your hair and how the warm wind blows

last night the sky was bright as my day
never so happy as i am when u stayed
baby i’ll go where the river flows
looking at your eyes and how the heart strings glow

see you

free you
need you
thank you
believe in you 
just
take me home

baby you’re the only road for me
baby you’re the only sky i see
baby you’re the only way for me
baby you’re the only one i see

last night the sky was big as my life
never so happy as i am by ur side
baby i’ll go where the river flows
looking at your hair and how the warm wind blows

last night the sky was bright as my day
never so happy as i am when u stayed
baby i’ll go where the river flows
looking at your eyes and how my heart strings glow

come alone, sing along, drift along 
come along, go along, drift alone  
come along, be alone, drift along 
come alone, go along, drift along

baby you’re the only sky i see
baby you’re the only way for me
baby you’re the only one i see

last night the sky was bright as my life
never so happy as i am by ur side
baby i’ll go where the river flows
looking at your hair and how the warm wind blows

last night the sky was bright as my day
never so happy as i am when u stayed
baby i’ll go where the river flows
looking at your eyes and how my heart strings glow

“drift”

(WMT)PappaWolf - Look What U Did

Golden child, you held my heart and how you made me laugh
Two years old, dancing by the stereo to Fleetwood Mac
When you were ten, you begged me to buy your friend's old used guitar
and damn, son, you played that thing with so much heart

At seventeen, you played in tiny dives
You had to do it cause it made you feel alive

You'd fly, fly, fly on
with your song
You'd fly all night
Lost track
of time

Music was how you reached inside, and how you felt your soul
And you tried so hard, but it couldn't make you feel all the way whole
When you took that first sip, the pain went away
Your relief was strong, so the battle began
and the battle was long

You'd disappear into the dark for hours
It felt like alcohol and drugs were your superpower

You'd fly, fly, fly on
synthetic joy
You'd fly all night
Lost yourself
my golden boy

Then you kicked it to the curb
You sang your songs
You wrote your words
You were two years clean
but you lost your grip
and I lost you
in one final, accidental slip
and now you

Fly, fly, fly
with your song
And I hear you in my head
You say there's no such thing as dead
You say that what I taught you was right
You gotta ride ride the light and
fly, fly, fly on
with your song
Fly fly fly in
the beyond

For Karen & Joel

FLY FLY FLY

“whatever” lyrics

lyrics by doc and steff


i’m trippin on down the road its been a hard life to try
nothing ever stops the falls god never promised i’d fly
seems i’m blessed with skin thats meant to keep me alive
wish the hits were harder than the words to my mind… oh yeah

whatever takes to make me smile
whatever takes to pass the while
whatever takes to brighten my day
i’ll take it
here i go again and i’m sorry

where ever i go, i know, my life is stuck in the past
whatever i do, i’m through , i know that this wont last
where ever i’ve gone i’ve  hoped, that this is better than that
wherever i go to try in vain, ill fail again, you know that i’m sorry

whatever takes to make me smile
whatever takes to pass the while
whatever takes to brighten my day
i’ll take it
here i go again and i’m sorry

over the river and away we go
living in the shadows of a carnival show
judge jury lovers staring back at me
like murder of crows waiting patiently

over the edge and away we go
drowning in the shallows of a daily shitshow
judge jury saviors are all looking to me
like murder of crows waiting patiently… 
oh yeah

where ever i go, i know, my life is stuck in the past
whatever i do, i’m threw , i know that this wont last
where ever i’ve gone i’ve  hoped, that this is better than that
wherever i go to try in vain, ill fail again, you know that i’m sorry

over the edge and away we go
drowning in the shallows of a daily shitshow
judge jury saviors are all looking to me
like murder of crows waiting patiently 

over the river and away we go
living in the shadows of a carnival show
judge jury lovers staring back at me
like murder of crows waiting patiently
oh yeah

“whatever”

What time is it

i dropped this while eating a chicken sandwhich. enjoy. @HayyyeMJ on all socials

This music was suggested by the Palestinian folksong "My Olive Tree." I have not attempted an authentic rendition but have extracted those elements  - melodic, rhythmic and harmonic - that were useful to me. The use of material from a Palestinian folksong requires no further explanation in the current climate; this composition stands as a threnody for Gaza, intended as a humanitarian response whilst making both a plea for peace and a demand for justice.
