Eclectic This is accomplished, multi-layered reggae, with punchy beats, catchy melodies and lush orchestration. Alific plays bass on Stick Figure's Reprise Sessions, and this album is recommended for fans of that kind of reggae sound

Up to Me 02:59
Song and Lyrics by Brendan Dane When its all said done and its up to me I’ll grab my dog and set sail to the open sea With the fire sunset crashing down on me With a little bit of love and a little destiny Well I’ll find my way and all the words to say How Much I truly love you each and every single way Well I’ll find me a spot that we love the most We travel from city city and coast to coast We're gonna find our way someday oh yeah Well if it was up to me and I held the right key I’d set all the stray people and the animals free And give the whole world a nice song to hear And everyone unhappy a smile ear to ear and if I could a way to all the money in the world I’d straight light it up in smoke and let the story unfold That your status of wealth is not the story of you It’s the story of society under voodoo Of the rich and evil and of the corrupt People never gave a fuck or never could get enough Well you can look to the sky or look to the you But to me it really doesn’t matter what you do But now your home And grab the love one that you’re loving on And when you find yourself all alone Don’t live you life with your glass half-full No live your life with your glass over -flown And when you need a friend, You can call me anytime And I will be there right beside you Waiting out the clouds until we see some sunshine If it was up to me If it was up to me Yeah I would lay down the law And unleash on the this world So they could see it like me If it was up to me

Intro looking out we looking out again in this time in this life Chorus (2x) live up live up never want to come down live up live up never want to come down live up live up never want to come down for this Verse 1 first things first lets stop messing around take this music elevate from the ground to a place thats where I'll be found feeling great so many things wrapped up in schemes to much of it will make the stress increase stay focused keep your mind at ease use it shadows cast reflections of the past calling me home and they telling me to come back but i cant and i wont leave this moment Chorus (2x) live up live up never want to come down live up live up never want to come down live up live up never want to come down for this Verse 2 another year and months have flown by I'm traveling along for the ride passing by road signs when we drive oh an I I've seen it with my own eyes seen it when the moon shines bright on the dark sky feel it deep inside Chorus (4x) live up live up never want to come down live up live up never want to come down live up live up never want to come down for this

Original Composition and Lyrics by Stevie Wonder No Copyright Infringement Intended Looking back on when I Was a little nappy headed boy Then my only worry Was for Christmas what would be my toy Even though we sometimes Would not get a thing We were happy with the Joy the day would bring Sneaking out the back door To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine Greeted at the back door With boy thought I told you not to go outside Tryin' your best to bring the Water to your eyes Thinkin' it might stop her From woopin' your behind I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go Cause I love them so Brother says he's tellin' 'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl Just don't tell I'll give you Anything you want in this whole wide world Mama gives you money for Sunday school You trade yours for candy after church is through Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy) Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right But while you were doing it-it sure felt outta sight I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go
