R.E.A.L. (Rediscovering The Art Of Living) Lee/ B. Wolfe Nacido Libre Music/ Think Of One (ASCAP) Tired of listening to my music/ I decided to give it Instead of “feeling like summer” I decided to live it Kind of like living out loud or standing in a crowd of people that keep moving I hear them raindrops/ I could feel the pain stop/ People everywhere they felt it to/ For once the words I penned made sense to my Dad so I relayed them straight to you so we could live Had eggs for breakfast/ Type these metaphors Mind moving faster than these fingers/ Can't keep up any more Crazy ‘bout living out loud no whisper hear the music of life and I keep moving I heard them trees sing/ I could feel everything/ For the first time I didn't feel alone Living these melodies like Daydreams I felt just like I'd come home so I could live Everywhere you look you can see it/ You look at them people and see they try to be it There's something about the way we make the good times move/ Figuring out the Art of Living You can tell by the smiles on all the people's faces/ They feel it in their bodies in all the right places I can explain it to you it's just a vibe you know/ There's something about the Art of Living Running, running, running no more/ Giving, giving what life is asking for I've seen myself transformed and now I'm trying to take it all back Living, living is an/ Easy as the sun when it shines through Easy like a Sunday morning so I discovered the art of how to live Tired of living this life engulfed in darkness/ No more feeling the pressure of life became an artist The hardest part is knowing when to breathe in and out and keep moving I built dreams tall/ Standing in the rain fall/ People everywhere they came to get drenched We made the blueprint different cuz you needed it to be to approach and apply by your common sense Had love on a rainbow and a box of sunshine/ Picnicking on blissfulness/ Had to make the time Crazy about living out loud/ Dance to the rhythm of freedom and I keep moving I felt air’s touch/ I had missed that so much like a butterfly touchdown and then it’s gone Living these metaphors hearing “Ocean Lullabies” waiting to be greeted by the Sunday morn’ so I could live Everywhere you look you can see it/ You look at them people and see they try to be it There's something about the way we make the good times move/ Figuring out the Art of Living You can tell by the smiles on all the people's faces/ They feel it in their bodies in all the right places I can explain it to you it's just a vibe you know/ There's something about the Art of Living

Revolution Song Lee/ B. Wolfe Nacido Libre Music/ Think Of One (ASCAP) We keep dying so y'all can keep living/ They always taken and we keep giving One day the world gonna turn upside down/ Another mother cries while her child falls to the ground Street soldiers sell boulders to queens and make crack babies/ Is that revolution? Some say maybe I say poison and the boys ran/ They wouldn't listen/ Trying to beat the hustle to find what was missing And the answers they seek wouldn't be found in beer bottles Need the father's to raise their daughters so they could be role models Instead it’s Escalade dreams in VIP/ A man recognizes that that don't make he Needed to find a place and space of his own comfort/ Needed to find a part in his heart that don't hurt So he can give love to that woman he held clothes So he can understand that's what she needed the most/ Now that's revolution They keep fighting/ What they need is loving/ She's always yelling/ What they need is hugging One day their house is gonna turn into a home/ One day this family will right their wrongs Fathers scream and holler at innocent babies/ Is that revolution? Some say maybe I say teach them and you can reach them they'll listen/ Give them the love that they've been missing And the answers that they seek will be found in the truth each one teach one/ Be living proof Instead it's tough love and welfare victims/ It’s everyone problems so each home fix them Needed to find a place and space to communicate/ Needed to find a part in our hearts before it's too late So we can give love to that family, our owned Miss us while we're here and not after we're gone/ Now that's Revolution Show me respect and I'll show you some back/ We'll all get along both white and black One day the world gonna turn over to peace/ When we get wise and all the fighting cease Soldiers wage war on villages, killing women and baby babies/ Is that revolution? Some say maybe I say evil we will the truth recognize/ Tired of beating on each other/ Tired of all the lies And the answers that they seek will be found in the heart/ Needed nations to unite and no longer be a part Instead it's Exxon dreams and wars over oil/ A man recognize that the Earth is all's soil Needed to find a place and space to come together Needed to find a part in our heart where dreams last forever So we could give love/ That's what we need to be closed So we could understand that's what we needed the most/ Now that's revolution

With You (featuring Milah) Lee/ J. Windham/ A. Fishbein Nacido Libre Music/ Diva Chick Music (ASCAP) I've known a lot of women since the very beginning/ They say they love me but none of them like you Through good times and bad ones and trust that we've had some And no one has been there for me quite like you Nope, no fancy diamonds/ Mediocre rhyming but through it all my number one fan was you Even when I give up you pick my chin right up and for that reason I dedicate this to you Yeah it's all right/ You know I don't mind As long as I'm with you don't matter what we do It's okay with you in my life/ Don't want to see the day you ever go away Sometimes it gets hard and it feels like everything is wrong and the love is gone But yeah it's alright and I don't mind No matter what we do, we go through I'm with you baby, with you I know sometimes you hate me/ I know I drive you crazy and no one puts up with me quite like you Nope don't take for granted the seed that we planted/ I think I might want to spend my life with you Like a best friend to me know that I love you truly/ Even when I don't call on my mind is you Gone for days at a time working on music of mine/ I finally decided the right this song to you Yeah it's all right/ You know I don't mind As long as I'm with you don't matter what we do It's okay with you in my life/ Don't want to see the day you ever go away Sometimes it gets hard and it feels like everything is wrong and the love is gone But yeah it's alright and I don't mind No matter what we do, we go through I'm with you baby, with you Whenever rainy days my love is just the same/ I'll never leave you, babe I'm staying right here If you got stacks of dough or how many if you're broke the highs and the lows I'm staying right here Through the thick and the thin I'm your girl and I'll be right here And that's why I appreciate you No matter what we do, we go through/ I'm with you, baby, with you Never bitch, slut or hoe, no/ Don't disrespect like that so Flower, Earth or Queen/ Now that's more like you These other dudes be hating Maybe that's how they were raised when they didn't learn how to treat a woman like you So try to make it alright that's what I do when I write/ Maybe these sincere words I offer can heal you Now that you've heard it from me I hope I've set it clearly/ Know that I wrote this one here just for you Yeah it's all right/ You know I don't mind As long as I'm with you don't matter what we do It's okay with you in my life/ Don't want to see the day you ever go away Sometimes it gets hard and it feels like everything is wrong and the love is gone But yeah it's alright and I don't mind No matter what we do, we go through I'm with you baby, with you

Ecstasy Lee Nacido Libre Music (ASCAP) I seen them up at 6 o'clock in the morning, the crack of dawn when I'm on the way to work Hey, now they feel no hurt and they feel no pain/ They just stand in the rain and they talking about love Laughing and hugging/ Saying I love you and I mean that/ Smiles to spread all around But disguised by the sounds of the pulse of the music and the city streets And the faces that complete this moment would be weeks from now The way they crash and burn now I can tell you how No, not like Nancy Reagan, but from lessons learned From the roller coasters and the knobs twisted and turned Emotions shaken and bent when you think you fell in love, but you just fell into a hole And the whole runs deep/ You're emotionally weak You won't know it until weeks from now when the feeling's gone Like this, “Baby girl I love you. Hey now we going to be together forever” “Hey now I know you had we had problems/ This time we're going to work it out” “I know you think I'm high, but I know what I'm talkin about/ “it ain't the drug, mama, I'm in love” “It just took this moment for me to realize it now I can't disguise it cuz I'm connected to you” “The way I'm feeling down inside is true/ I was talking to my friend about you and I told her I was serious” “I was talking to Jay the other day I say I hope that you hearing this/ I said man this girl is the one for me” “The way she make my body and mind feels so free/ All of our fights are a thing of the past” “This time we're going to make it, sweet mama, in ecstasy” Hey now, I'm not to criticize, but to open up your eyes to reality through things you may not see You see I've been around the block and things I've seen and watched/ And I've learned I've taken my little turn or my fall, but through it all I guess there was a reason that I'm left here breathing Left here sounding like a preacher, hoping wise words reach ya about my experience So you don't have to/ So your senses grab you This is what knowledge does it gives us wisdom and understanding whenever we need a hand And let me tell you, mama, we all do So we don't fall through the cracks and the crevices and the scary places The dream you chased is just a dream The moment to live is here now/ So live it and love it in ecstasy

Somnambulism Lee/ M. Rens Nacido Libre Music/ Phoenixcane Music (ASCAP) They say the problem in the world is that there's too many players when players play games and life is serious/ Too much apathy and not enough concern for things in the world that have gone oh so long/ Not enough men loving women or loving themselves/ Too many sisters with stank ghetto attitude/ Just mad about shit when all I wanted was just a drink of water Don't even get me started on the war over oil and the education system in shambles/ Don't even talk to me about tax breaks for the rich when the poor get poorer and can't get health care/ Be aware that it only gets worse when we continue to look out for self/ Thinking it don't concern you cuz you got food on the table but those other people are still dying They’re dying mentally cuz you can't see the right in reparations/ You didn't do it so why should you care?/ You think AIDs is still for gays and being gay is a sin so fuck ‘em anyway, right?/ You think the Jews lied about the Holocaust and Mexican are lazy, taking all of our jobs/ Had your eye on your neighbor, motherfucking sand nigger/ They should send them all back to Afghanistan right/ But man where's your God in all of that?/ So tell me where’s your love?/ Too busy walking around sleepwalking/ Touch someone, feel connected and wake yourself up out of that slumber

By The River Lee/ B. Wolfe Nacido Libre Music/ Think Of One (ASCAP) Meet me by the river near the warm spot under the sun/ Meet me down by the rocks, away from everyone Along comes a stranger, shared glance and she looks familiar/ “Where do I know you from?” She said a past lifetime Share a smile, share a laugh/ And she's gone/ Shared a moment and now again I'm alone Shared this wish, shared this dream/ Shared this feeling/ Shared what we had by the river Sometimes words are too much/ Sometimes I love you too much Sometimes it just hurts me so much/ Sometimes, sometimes Near the horizon just passed forever down by the soothing sunset Near the birth of a dream under the shade of hopes/ That's where we met A stranger passes/ Love is lost and gone/ These things happen by the river Share a smile, share a laugh/ And she's gone/ Shared a moment and now again I'm alone Shared this wish, shared this dream/ Shared this feeling/ Shared what we had by the river Meet me by the playground where the children run and play Meet me on the merry-go-round where I can hold you through the day Meet me in the open fields to play a game of tag Watch this game begins/ I hope it never ends Share a smile, share a laugh/ And she's gone/ Shared a moment and now again I'm alone Shared this wish, shared this dream/ Shared this feeling/ Shared what we had by the river

Live Life Lee/ M. Rens Nacido Libre Music/ Phoenixcane Music (ASCAP) Step into the world and I'm breathing/ Feel my blood moving through my body and I'm relieved when My arms feel the sensation on my fingertips called life/ Iit feels so right So I put one foot before the other, right to left/ I repeat this motion and I call it a step Step into the direction of the sunlight/ Exhaling from my lungs with all my might Now I've pried my eyes open and now I can see all the wonders that stand before me Into this world on my own and now I am free/ I am now what I am and what I can now be Gather knowledge from the college known as experience Absorb the sounds all around cuz like I'm not fearing it A boy to a man, my journey will soon begin/ Recognize the call of the wild when I'm hearing it/ Live And I'm living this life/ And I'm living this life Touch the moon with my heart/ Feel the deep breeze/ Connected to it all branching out like the trees Plasma flowing in motion like the ocean of water in the body of life/ It cuts like a knife So ride the rhythm, it can take you/ Let life lead, it'll give you what you need So take a hand, take a stand to understand the other man Cuz when you ride the Rhythm that's all part of the plan Smell aroma of life all around/ Hear the beat of The Being in each and every sound You know it cuz you feel it, you can taste it You can touch it/ You can see it and everything because it's all around The child deep inside of you loves it/ Once experienced you're always thinking of it It’s everlasting, never passing you by/ It's what you are/ It gets you high live And I'm living this life/ And I'm living this life Dance the boogie of the living/ Sing the song of the love/ You are here so you are above Now everything is effortless/ And what you have now learned you can never forget A blueprint, a recipe, a diagram or instructions/ Just a master plan for those that are loving Our place is not here/ We are going home/ I heard the Divine Sound and it went… If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of Prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I can have faith that can move mountains, but have not love I am nothing. And I'm living this life/ And I'm living this life

Breathe Lee/ B.

A Beautiful Day/ Without Judgement Lee/ B. Wolfe Nacido Libre Music/ Think Of One (ASCAP) Hey now, catch this train/ Miss the rain by a minute and take the bus uptown Ride through city deadlock, we don't stop/ We don't let nothing get us down We're going to sit with it for a minute/ This train ride last for like an hour We know that when the rain goes it's like rainbows/ Sunshine follows these here showers Sipping on ginger tea, sitting patiently waiting on our next stop Children laughing and splashing, the tears of the skies soaking up the city blocks But these are tears of joy so we smile when the sun shines through Sitting next to a beautiful woman with a smile, and guess what? She smiles back at you Cuz it's a beautiful day and everybody's living Cuz it's a beautiful day and everybody's loving Cuz it's a beautiful day and everybody's living Cuz it's a beautiful day and everybody's loving Pull the cord, all aboard/ Next stop sensations Our destination is a place where we get rid of all negativity that we've been facing In these open spaces we find places where the air is just right to breathe We find beauty in the simplest things/ We found inner peace, man/ Y'all wouldn't believe It's like springtime in Brooklyn, and damn that feels good/ We've been living in the winter of our lives But now we got sunshine, and damn that feels good It's really how you look at it/ The perspectives that you take Instead when life gave you eggs you didn't pout/ You turned around and bake a cake Cuz it's a beautiful day and everybody's living Cuz it's a beautiful day and everybody's loving Cuz it's a beautiful day and everybody's living Cuz it's a beautiful day and everybody's loving This morning I woke up and I saw the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It was looking back at me. All along I've never noticed its stateliness and virtue as I had spent so much of my time ignoring it. All this while I live 2 blocks from happiness. All this while I was just a heart's desire away and I never took the time until now to notice these things right before me. All this time I was looking for that elusive tomorrow or the next day when I could find time to appreciate those things. The whole wild never fully realizing today and now. This morning I woke up and looked in the mirror and saw God in my eyes staring back at me. Cuz it's a beautiful day and everybody's living Cuz it's a beautiful day and everybody's loving Cuz it's a beautiful day and everybody's living Cuz it's a beautiful day and everybody's loving

The Wish (Featuring Big Brooklyn Red) Lee Nacido Libre Music (ASCAP) Ghetto landscapes means the plan takes a little more execution Rising prices, losing lives/ It's got to have a quick solution Not the placebo that we all know is offered as rhetoric But real answers to stop the cancers to get ourselves in check I wish I could hug the world/ I wish I could hold back to hurt I wish I could right what's wrong/ I wish I might save the world with this song City stops, traffic passes/ Country streams flow like molasses/ Children study do they learn in classes Apathy it infects the masses/ Question that many seem to ask is can it be that we might last this Collectively it seems our task is to recognize and no longer mask this Bombs we make them/ Lives we take them in the name of God and Nation Learning to kill the human will/ When what we need is to learn patience We erect prison building/ For young men pass time by killing On the streets we watched them dealing/ From the hungry the rich are stealing I wish I could hug the world/ I wish I could hold back to hurt I wish I could right what's wrong/ I wish I might save the world with this song I wish I could turn back the hands of times/ I wish I could right all man's crimes I wish I could unite all mankind/ I wish I might save the world with this song

Trying to give food for the soul/ Trying to give you what we need most of Ain't nothing more/ Live, breathe sleep just like everyone else They disfigure and distort the truth/ Watch how they're trying to cover all the wealth for self But we ain't even trying to live like that/ We've been trying to show you how they act Been dealing with the facts the whole while they try to hypnotize you/ But never let them divide you Everybody's got a song to sing if you listen close I might send you ours Everybody's got a song to sing if you listen close I might send you ours Everybody's got a song to sing if you listen close I might send you ours Everybody's got a song to sing From tragedy comes triumph/ From tears come laughter/ From dirt comes flowers/ From pain comes birth From hate comes love/ From loss comes gain/ From you comes me/ From me comes you

To Be Continued… Lee/ B. Wolfe Nacido Libre Music/ Think Of One (ASCAP) We slid in through the back door under the cover of love songs and metaphors, words lending hugs to the women that made us. They hadn't heard much of this dialect so we went undetected for the most part. A few looked up to notice the strange entourage, but paid us no mind as they figured to be in the safety of their surroundings, having had such a strong hold on their environment. Over by the bar were seeing the Tupac imitators and the down south booty shakers. They were sipping Moet with those that profit from posthumous celebrity. They are the ones basking in financial gain when men fall to the sounds of bullets. They have their hands deep in the pockets of the high-class gangsters and thugs who had long moved away from the ghettos and slums that they celebrate. And in their pockets were the women, the tricks and bitches that they kept close in order to show the public some pseudo alliance with the opposite sex that allowed for self-objectification. It was quite a sight to see. Everyone drinking and dancing in their underwear. An abundance of vices all provided by the bigwigs who pimp them to the masses. Among the regular faces that we have come to know as evil were sprinkled in early pioneers, elder statesmen who had once had a voice, but now set silent only concerned with fattening their own pockets. They didn't really mingle well. Most of their efforts and conversation were lent to their R&B thug proteges and Hampton rejects. Now what was funny was that most of the staff and help at the party were comrades who had recently given up the struggle, figuring we were undermanned and out-financed. They figured we were trying to liberate a people who didn't want to know freedom. Fire could be seen burning in their eyes as they poured Grey Goose and Absolut for the G's and pimps that come to the social gathering. Little did they know that right outside, the Freedom Fighters were waiting for our signal. They were waiting for us to signal that we were in position. I never thought I would see the day when we all finally rise up and look the “Big Willies,” sharks, snakes, misogynists, exploiters and drug dealers-turned-executives in the face and kiss them their last goodbyes. But finally the time was upon us.
