Saw a funkified mama
Faced hot in the sun
Caught her creepin' on a dollar
It ain’t the one
Money ain’t the problem and it ain’t the guns
You need a Badfire Mama to make the trouble come
Somebody oughta tell me how to find a woman that’s real
Don’t need no one to use me, just someone to know how I feel
That's why I'm saying to you:
Gimme that GoodFire
Seen a jamma mammin mah
Make you sweat like in a sauna
Spreadin’ love like peanut butter
Still it ain’t the one
Money ain’t the problem and it ain’t the guns
You need a Badfire Mama to make the trouble come
Somebody oughta tell me how to find a woman that’s real
Don’t need no one to use me, just someone to know how I feel
That's why I'm saying to you:
Gimme that GoodFire

Save It

Save it for me problem child
Do it for me, do it for you
I would fall on my knees if it'd make you change
Save it for me, your lovely heart
If you give it away, you'll tear mine apart
I would fall on my knees if it'd make you change
You brought it together

Zombies
03:24

Alarm clock goes off, at 5:45am
Hop into the shower to clean up the state I'm in
Head into my kitchen room, you know I gotta be on time
Pour me a mug of Columbian drug
Machine without a mind...
Car's all charged up, time to hit the road
Coffee I chug as I pull out the plug I'm in automatic mode
Everybody's rushing here to the place they gotta be
Nobody talks, nobody speaks, they're just worried about me
I'm so worried about me...
The Zombie Man he has a plan
And he works it every day
He cannot see he cannot hear
And he has no time to play
His imagination is an imitation
Of the visions on TV
If he tries to bite you'd better run or fight
Or you'll end up, just like me...
Hit the keyboard, tippity tap
Talk to me more, with your rippity rap
Can't make it stop, can't make it sing
Can't slow it down no I can't do a thing
I'm told what to buy, I'm told what to eat
I'm told what to do with my hands and my feet
You're told what to buy, you're told what to eat
You're told what to do with your hands and your feet
The Zombie Man he has a plan
And he works it every day
He cannot see he cannot hear
And he has no time to play
His imagination is an imitation
Of the visions on TV
If he tries to bite you'd better run or fight
Or you'll end up, just like me...

Sittin' in the Sun
03:14

I’ll be sittin' in the sun
Nothing, no one to bother my eyes
Hear but you never listen
Ears are numb from lights
Got a mind and it’s at ease
I’m (a) follow that breeze and go outside
Heard of a better notion
Try to keep the love alive
So my life gets low
I got a thing that only God would know
Worry for tomorrow when it comes
I’ll be livin' on the run
From the money no one can take away
Hike-hitchin' on a highway
Living from day to day
Got a dollar that’s a lot to me
You’re the gardeners growing that dollar tree
Control your remote, but you won’t control me
So my life gets low
I got a thing that only God would know
Worry for tomorrow when it comes

Down to the Letter
04:07
|
|||
|
Drive down to the light
First left, first right
Past Kuba’s place
Maybe stay the night
Gotta jump on highway 410
Not for long cuz your gas is low
If you see the bridge then you gone too far
By the way if you obey
There’s a chance soon you may be
Goin' down
Way down then turn around
Everybody run to the letter now
Way down then turn around
Everybody runnin in circles
Hey money man
Why are you dancin like that
Is this the right way
Cuz I don't have time to chat
I gotta get to work and be on time
Shape my rhythm and my rhyme
After everyone, man I love bein' the same
But I do become discouraged
This never ending game keeps
Goin down

Zoot Dada
04:16

Stutter when I speak
Babble like a brook
Say meaning that you seek
Your meaning’s just a dream
And it's all a relativity
Love is the language that we need
Hard to comprehend
You may never understand
Speak it out your mind
Let anxiety unwind, and say
Zootdadablada, yes that's the way
Zootdadablada, yes that's the way I
Zootdadablada, yes that's the way
The way I say, say to anybody:
Send a spoken word
The letter ain't as meaningful
Read as when it's heard
Are you speaking through a screen
In a television tongue
Interpretation in between
Hard to comprehend
You may never understand
Speak it out your mind
Let anxiety unwind, and say
Zootdadablada, yes that's the way
Zootdadablada, yes that's the way I
Zootdadablada, yes that's the way
The way I say, say to anybody...

Spirits
02:56
|

|
Arise in the morning to the noon tide
Call on God, pray for my soul to fortify
Night will bring a closed eye
Demons got me fighting with my mind
Yes and the spirits
They are rising up
Yes and the spirits
Living on hate and love
Can only spirits make a quiet man speak
Can only spirits make proud man weak
It’s a battle behind closed eyes
Where wisdom and folly follow by
Yes and the spirits
They are rising up
Yes and the spirits
Living on hate and love

It's Alright
03:50
|

|
And if I sow
Better sow it tight
And if I reap
The seed growing wasn't mine
And if I sleep three hours a night
I think it's alright
I heard my home
Is only in your mind
But I hear my mother
Praying I'll stay the night
When every moment's by your side
I wonder if it's alright
I know the Lord
Is gonna guide us home
But I get confused
Whenever I'm not alone
If I live wrong while I'm alive
It's not gonna be alright
