Sublime – Get Ready
Album: Sublime, Self Titled

Before cannabis was accepted in the mainstream, you had to be incognito with your tokes.

Somebody always gotta turn informer for the man
I want to know, know right now
Is there one of you in the crowd?
Are you gonna call 911, and spoil all of my fun?
You crazy fools

Frankie Paul – Get Ready

The original “Get Ready” from Frankie Paul that Sublime covered for their version.

Kendrick Lamar – Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe
Album: Good Kid, M.A.A.D City

If your intentions are good and you are true to your purpose, negative energy can’t bother you.

I can feel your energy from two planets away
I got my drink, I got my music
I would share it but today I’m yelling
Bitch don’t kill my vibe, bitch don’t kill my vibe
Bitch don’t kill my vibe, bitch don’t kill my vibe

Kendrick Lamar – Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe (Instrumental)

How can I paint this picture when the color blind is hanging with you?

The Grass Roots – Let’s Live for Today Lyrics

When..I think of all the worries

And how they’re in a hurry

and dream that can’t come true
I’m glad that we are different
we’ve better things to do
May others plan their future,
I’m busy lovin’ you..

..We..were never meant to worry
the way that people do.
And I don’t need to hurry
as long as I’m with you.
We’ll take it nice and easy
and use my simple plan.
You’ll be my lovin’ woman
I’ll be your lovin’ man.
We’ll take
the most from living,
have pleasure while we can
..2-3-4
Sha-la-la-la-la-la,

And don’t worry.

Gorillaz – Hillbilly Man
Album: The Fall

The most appealing thing of the Gorillaz sound is how different and unique each track is. They have a bunch of hits that flip and combine genres into something new. Hillbilly Man starts off with a mellow and melodic guitar riff before transforming into a fresh trip hop beat.

 

John Lennon – Watching The Wheels, Acoustic (KJ Song Rec)

John Lennon - Watching The Wheels, Acoustic (KJ Song Rec) | Third Monk

John Lennon –  Watching The Wheels
Album: Double Fantasy

John Lennon enjoyed his time away from center stage so much that he wrote a song about it. Watching the Wheels was released in 1981 after Lennon’s murder. This song is a great reminder of the simple beauty that can be found in everyday life.

John Lennon –  Watching The Wheels Lyrics

People say I’m crazy doing what I’m doing
They give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I’m o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you’re not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I’m lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
Tell them that I’m doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don’t you miss the big time boy you’re no longer on the ball

I’m just sitting here making the wheels run round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

People asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there’s no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I’ve lost my mind
I tell them there’s no hurry
I’m just sitting here doing time

I’m just sitting here watching the wheels run round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go…I just had to let it go

Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song) S.C.I.E.N.C.E. Album Version

I’m home alone tonight.
Full moon illuminates my room, and sends my mind aflight.
I think I was dreaming up some thoughts that were seemingly possible, with you.
So I call you on the tin can phone.
We rendezvous at a quarter-two, and make sure we’re alone.
Think I’ve found a way for you and I to finally fly free.

When we get there, we’re gonna fly so far away,
Making sure to laugh; while we experience anti-gravity.
Anti gravity. Anti Gravity

For years, I kept it to myself.
Now potentialities are bound, and living under my shelf.
Simply choose your destination from the diamond canopy, and we’ll be there.
So I call you on the tin can phone.
We rendezvous at a quarter-two, and make sure we’re alone.
I may have found the way for you and I to finally be free

When we get there, we’re gonna fly so far away,
Making sure to laugh; while we experience anti-gravity.
Anti gravity. Anti Gravity

*Saxaphone Solo*

Anti gravity. Anti Gravity

Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song) Live from Mountain View 10/9/2011

Incubus still gots that good sound. The guitar solo instead of the saxophone is a sick switch up.
