Shaka:
(Written by Leemonster)

This song’s for Shaka on the ledge of the street
Playing his songs, resisting defeat
Your voice carries loud even though the crowd is liquid
Some look down their nose at you
They’ll be in your shoes some day, they’ll regret
All the snotty mistakes and invisible pedestals.

You knew what I meant by the pyramid
And it’s grip among the easy to convince

The lower class know, the middle class won’t admit it.
Every door is locked but the homeless have the key
So many filled up schedules, so many calendars
So many rushed hours with paychecks of misery.
The line in the sand has been crossed ages ago

The five o comes up and tries to stop the harmonies
God help someone singing peace on concrete
Hey Shaka, how much farther will this go?
People getting arrested for speaking from their soul?
never mind the laws, keep doing what you do
It all comes from the heart, the only thing that’s true.

From reggae to hip hop, punk rock and folk
Our music is on the streets, it’s sung by you and me.
It may be oppressed from radios but let’s take it to Washington DC
You, Me and Shaka, we’re gonna bust ourselves free.
