The four letters to make that word Shake then stir//As faith diverge//In case you learn. An adjacent swerve//On any path-skyward-chasing birds Or dirt road going the mile Love shown back ensures I'll never throw in the towel Coke and smile. Like little kids and jump roping//Sun stroking//crack the fire hydrant open Going dumb Oakland when my funds broken//But never hopeless. Know the honest dollar//shirtless with a blue collar//Soul like the home - Envision Everyone in the kitchen round a pot of collards//playing cards and shouting holler. What up nephew//word to my nieces – sum of its parts – a whole bunch of pieces Chicago – provide the whole globe with breeze for the seasons Still need a reason? Best foot forward during the duration This a much bigger figure than what you earn in a pay check Make sense? They sittin' sideways like a figure eight I push it to the limits of infinity And then you'll really see LFD - Love - Faith - Destiny If you think about it - you know what I mean (Verse 2) Thinking about paying a visit to the moonrise kingdom just to kick it a bit Get away from it all – if stress be that wool sweater I be taking it off Flash the pearly whites at the pearly gates – I preach a worldly faith – Unfurl the weight Upon these shoulders - Come take the rest of me – love faith and destiny – Yum taste this recipe Effortlessly – a total opposite – covert operative to your corporate plots and scams – I dot and dash They zig and zag – no faith up in it – its a faceless image – like snapping pictures of indigenous women And wonder why you shooting blanks – soulless attempt – gotta pay respect before you hit the bank with a check The LFD Life, Family, and Death Love faith and destiny intersect Which is this, and this is that So don't skip on your chance to make an impact

Move - through - silent moon Fly me through the sky We're gonna get there soon (verse1) I might not be born and bred on the west coast But I feel it in my heart how the blood pumps special Spit it orchestral – combustible gusto All across the globe – each town got a cut throat So – they blowing hot air like the dust bowl Go – travel through the air, train, or bus, boat Don't - forget to take a snap shot photo Or the cash box quota – so the wallet hard to fold up Tourists get lured quick to attraction When I'm out of town I'm a victim of relaxing East to West coast – even stopped off in Asheville No tip on the table for a trash talking asshole Aphrodisiac - the world's an oyster Next place you see me at – haven't made a choice yet But keep the voice intact – for the boys and girls in back They say what's that noise? I say that noise is rap (verse2) Music – movement for the people Corner store anywhere grooving free flow Its jazz in the bistro – blues in Chicago Mountain rocky high – Boulder Colorado Any town got a pothole – I pop in it Pop vintage tags at the thrift store – let's go Anywhere, anywhere? Have a seat Sitting Bear We'll figure out later how we're getting there I'm dreaming large to see the stars – cause you have to Born on the good side of a bad moon (what to do?) Putting faith in things – I truly believe Shooting West to East – even to the West Indies Are within reach – of the voice – gift of gab – called speech Let that boy talk- nah let that boy teach Got a couple things to say – I'll even Hop on a chariot if it swing that way Hey! (swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride) (verse3) Gravitate to the western states The western way of living – best to play position When in a foreign land – I'm local than a mofo Hawai'i and shit – local like the moco Pacalolo – and to think they call me homegrown The cost to grow your own is so low – and its solo Best to know what I'm flowing about – its going down My aim - to fly the map with feet on solid ground (hook) East to West Coast – Travel the map Across the globe – I'm coming right back Flash in the pan – gotta make it last That's the plan – yeah that's the plan Move - through - silent moon Flying through the sky We're gonna get there soon

Wait for it... Went up to the courts - like - Wicker Park court The half HALF court - my shits still sore I walk the blocks and say what up What else? Hit the courts and lay one up And one – used to hoop with the best of them Now I'm taking the bus with the rest of them First name Home – middle name just missed it Last name Grown – I'll be there in an instant Take a walk on my day off – ayo I ain't paid though - with a pocket full of pesos Still – I'm millionaire – and I feel you man Foundation - building plan All in the mental – fortitude With the bar set high cause there’s more to do And always higher to reach Who would've thought Making a living on how I speak Ooh and awwwh – just let it marinate Wrote it in my book and then I tear the page (refrain) One time for the life - its all lovely One day at a time - so don't rush me One heart and mind - I'm on to something Naturally - give me time to breathe (hook) I want – to go For it – for it all (verse2) I'm enveloped in the sound Developed a step pressed all up in the ground A fossil found from a long way lost At the dig site – right - all day long Just a metaphor for the letter of the law Have a good one – but a better one tomorrow As the feather falls We all gone with the wind and the weather y'all Life was all simple all tether ball In my neighbors yard - Back then yep yep – my aim was far – assassin But then class would begin – And rather attend I was with my friends with our backs to the fence Just laughing – pretending – it was never ending Story of the year – every year – sun setting A lasting impression Gas in the tank And then we're fast to the exit

about

'Greenlights' represents a culmination of talent brought up in Chicago, otherwise known as the Go! Lots of blood, sweat, and tears went into crafting all the lyrics, concepts, beats, recording, mixing, mastering, and artwork for this compilation

What started as a series of "one-off" tracks, the result of Willow Wells and Homegrown (among many other Rebels!) vibing to the soundscapes provided by Ron P, translated to making more and more music. Then came the eventual question; why not take this project further?

Indeed. From a time span of extended months through the spring and summer of 2013, this formidable trio came together to hone these skills, to focus the craft, and deliver something of substance.

From this point on, Green Means Go. An open road to exploring what one is passionate about. Understanding that, through a world of colors, having faith in oneself and other like-minded individuals often times comes up green; Green To Get going, Green To Never stop, Green To Make, Green To Smoke, Green Revolves Around Us As We Revolve Around It. GREENLIGHTS.

Enjoy the music. Please support our cause. Share it with those you love.
