[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
Waking up rested, feeling fresh as the morning dew
Bout to hit this recording booth, spreading messages for the youth
I’m a messenger of the truth, prophesizing the future
Have ‘em reading liner notes, trying to find out who produced it
This music ain’t a hobby, it’s something I live and breathe
Trying to make something classic, something that makes you think
Make you change your whole perspective and look at the world differently
All people really want, is a little authenticity
Type of ish that soon as you hear it, it hits you you instantly
Through these lyrics my spirit and name will live in infamy
At Carnegie Hall, performing live with a symphony
Arranged by Koji Kondo Featuring Questlove on the timpani
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]
Good morning
I wanna say good morning
To everybody good morning
Rise and shine, good morning

So Grateful

[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
Cue the choir, I done made it through the fire
I’m just grateful I survived like Kanye through the wire
Used to to stay up writing rhymes late at at night like a vampire
With big dreams, hoping that something would transpire
Every make get live, throw your hands a lil’ higher
Remember standing outside of the venue passing out fliers?
Now chillin’ at Grammies, sitting next right to our idols
All the fans keep on asking ‘when y’all gon’ press up the vinyl?’
I’m just tryna focus live in the moment and count my blessings
Sometimes I feel hopeless but life’s is too short to be stressin’
This is music with a message, my aura is florescent
Every time I record it’s just nothin but pure essence
Yeah, tryna learn from these life lessons
Bumping Fela Kuti in whip, music is the weapon
Just remember that the pen is mightier than the sword
Bout make a list a list of of all of the things that I’m thankful for
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]
I’m so grateful, yo, I’m so grateful
Shout out to my family, I just wanna say thank you
I’m so grateful, yo, I’m so grateful
Just want let you know that I appreciate you
I’m so grateful, yo, I’m so grateful
Shout out to my fans, I just wanna say thank you
I’m so grateful, yo, I’m so grateful
Good luck on your journey wherever this road takes you
[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
Cue the sermon, making history through these verses
They can try to shake my faith but I’m simply just too determined
People first, listen we about to take them to church
These cats think they on the grind but they just making it worse
Don’t ever sell yourself short or devalue your work
Or let the industry try to dictate how much your worth
Used to play D&D, hanging out with the nerds
That’s when I first learned about the true power of words
Because there’s nothing like losing yourself and a good story
Without constantly asking yourself ‘what can I do for me’
All people really need is something for people to latch on to
Trying to build my legacy, something to pass on to
The future generation of artist and big dreamers
They can say what they want, to be honest the game needs us
Praise Jesus, all I wanted was new sneakers
So I could be like Run-D.M.C., just me and my Adidas
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]

Find a Way
03:33

|
[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
I met this girl back in 2015
Back when everybody thought that I was living the dream
Cashville Tennessee, things ain’t always what they seem
Don’t believe the hype, ‘cause perception is everything
I was just doing my thing, trying to make a couple beats
I swear I’ll move out soon, soon just give it a couple weeks
That’s when I met, the prettiest thing that I ever seen
The way she moved was like butter, her voice was so heavenly
Connected on so many levels I’m feeling her energy
The type of girl that makes me wanna become a better me
But that’s when she, said that she;s moving to the west coast
But I enjoy your company and it’s hard to let go
So just know, that I’ll be waiting for ya
As long as you promise to make it to California
I said don’t worry bae, you know that I’ll find a way
See you when I get there, just tell me the time and place
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]
Even if we’re miles away
If we’re meant to be together I know that we’ll find a way
And even if the skies are grey
If we’re meant to be together I know that we’ll find a way
Even if we’re miles away
If we’re meant to be together I know that we’ll find a way
And even if the skies are grey
If we’re meant to be together I know that we’ll find a way
[Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway]
It’s been six months can get with this long-distance
Start mIssin’, your warm embrace and those long kisses
And I know that you can’t wait until I come visit
So we can sit by the Bay, just watching the sun glisten
Only one mission, feels like I got tunnel vision
It’s a new season, gotta catch up on what I’ve been missin’
Never knew what love is, is but I knew what love isn’t
When I looked into her eyes, I knew within one minute
That what - this love is infinite
Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it
It’s been a minute, but I’m willing to risk it all
just got back to the crib and I saw that I missed your call
Try to hit you back to say that I’m willing to find a way
But the lines starting to break, can’t hear what you’re trying to say
Guess we’ll try another day, to put a smile on your face
I’ll move ‘round the world, tell me the time and place
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]

Sky High
03:10
|
|||
|
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]
Got me flyin’ sky high, sky high, sky high
There ain’t nothin’ they can tell me, listen this is my life
And I’m feelin’ sky high, sky high, sky high
I’m just livin’ in the moment, it’s funny how time flies
Got me flyin’ sky high, sky high, sky high
There ain’t nothin’ they can tell me, listen this is my life
And I’m feelin’ sky high, sky high, sky high
I’m just livin’ in the moment, it’s funny how time flies
[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
Now, now now I won’t stop for nobody,
Just tryna let you know shorty
They used to call me and nobody,
Bout to ‘rake it up, rake it up’ like Yo Gotti
My mama said ‘I’m so proud of you
Don’t ever let them take take that soul out of you
You so valuable, never doubted you
Every word you say is so powerful
It’s impalpable, can’t describe what it’s
Like to have fans reach out to you
High altitude, better watch out ‘cause there
Ain’t not way to top what I’m bout to do
We flyin’ high, in the friendly sky
Like Jean-Luc Picard on The Enterprise
We can go anywhere that you can visualize
‘Bout to hit warp drive and energize
[Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway]
You know I stay high like frequent flyers
I’m on the grind like weed suppliers
Can’t stop damn dawg these beats are fire
And I’m ‘bout to take off like screechin’ tires
We flying high, like ‘Skyward Sword’
Like Busta Rhymes, I got rhymes galore
When it comes to this shit, I’m a connoisseur,
They wanna ask me what I’m rhyming for, look
I try to tell em I don’t do it for the fame I do it
For the love of music and the game
I do it for the feeling that I get when I connect
With other humans and hope you feel the same
A lot of people get caught up in worrying about if other
People think it’s stupid or it’s lame
But now I’m flying high, when they look up in the sky
They say ‘maybe it’s a bird or it’s a plane’
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]

Dream Big
03:33
|
|||
|
[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
My mama told me never give up and and be patient
Don’t ever turn your back on those dreams you keep chasing
You can go do it now, you don’t need to keep waiting
For permission, to go out there and be amazing
Who cares, what everyone thinks? Some people give up on their dreams
‘Cause there’s someone that they’re desperate to please
Seen people give on their dreams ‘cause they’re scare of what’s next
Or try to sabotage themselves ‘cause they’re scared of success
No more hesitating, or overthinking the next step
You are now in the presence of ‘one of the best yet’
I’m one of the best kept secrets there’s no denying it
Got ‘em all hooked on these beats that we keep supplyin’
If at first you don’t succeed, get up and try again
If you want that job you gon’ have to meet the requirements
Put in 9 to 5 and optimize your environment
They said it was a dream, to be honest I’m not buying it
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]
Dream big, dream big, only one life to live
You get to be here once and that’s it
Can’t spend all your time livin’ in the past tense
Gotta get up, get out, do something and dream big
Dream big, dream big, only one life to live
You get to be here once and that’s it
Can’t spend all your time livin’ in the past tense
Gotta get up, get out, do something and dream big
[Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway]
My pops told me never give up and stay focused
As soon as I touched the mic it was game over
If you ask me, this whole game need a makeover
I’ve been underground, secretly plottin’ my takeover
You see I’m sorta like a modern day Beethoven
The world is effed up but I try to remain hopeful
Music gets me by, this beat is just so soulful
On tour gettin’ props from people who don’t know you
Survival is insufficient, follow your intuition
Just tryin make a livin’ from rhyming on instrumentals
This isn’t coincidental, I was destined to make it
On quest to get paper, always protecting what’s sacred
Some people give up on my goals ‘cause they didn’t believe
Or get discouraged by the milestones they didn’t achieve
You should ever have to compromise or give up your dreams
My Umi said ‘shine your light for the world to see’, and dream big
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]

The Little Things
03:12
|
|||
|
[Verse 1 : Amerigo Gazaway]
It’s the little things, the little things, just like she does for me
Like when I come home and she always greets me with a cup of tea
I know that I’m a hot mess, but I guess your stuck with me
And I wanna thank you for showing me just what true love can be
See, I know you’re fine and all, but it’s really was underneath
That’s what made me fall for you sweep you off your feet
You’re the apple of my eye whenever I want. Something sweet
I can’t help but smile when I hear you talking in your sleep
it’s the little things, like buying her flowers without any special occasion
Or waking up in the morning making sure the breakfast is waitin’
Eggs and bacon, girl you know that I’ll never keep you waitin’
And I promise from now on, that I’ll try to be more patient
It’s the little things, the little things and the thougfulness behind them
And the way you treat everybody that you meet with kindness
I know that I can’t buy you lots of fancy rings and diamonds
But I can try do the little things, the things that keep you smilin’
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]
It’s the little things, the little things, the little things that count
It’s the little things, the little things, that’s what life is all about
[Verse 2 : Amerigo Gazaway]
It’s the little things in life, that make it worth livin’
I’m grateful to be alive and all the things I’ve been given
Because when I think about it? Things could’ve been with a different
A lot of friends I grew up with, either dead or in prison
In my head I get visions, of the times the we had
All the mischief we got into, and the times that we laughed
Wishing that I could go back, spending time in the lab
With tunnel vision, on a mission scribbling rhymes on a pad
I’m trying pave my own way, and forge a new path
That’s that’s why I everyday, I wake up and record a new track
Making every second count, ‘cause life’s too short for stressin’ out
I just think of all the little things, whenever I get down
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]

No Stress
02:49
|
|||
|
[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
Ok, ok, see I don’t need no validation
‘Cause I know that I’m the greatest
Tell my mama, tell these haters
and everybody I done made it
I got stacks of notebook pages
I been doing this for ages
I’m not not new to this I’m true to this
This is music is so sacred
Moving on up like elevators,aAnd I’ve gone through hella he changes
Used to sit a dream about it now I’m rockin’ hella stages
It all started when I started making music in my basement
When I step inside that booth? I feel like Neo in The Matrix
Never fakin’, meditatin’, trying plot my next move
They say that if you’re smartest person then just move on to the next room
So guess who? It’s A-Gizzle baby, live in the flesh
Got all these other rappers askin’ ‘how’s rhyming so fresh?’
[Chorus]
No stress (no stress in my life)
No stress (I don’t want no stress in my life)
No stress (no stress in my life)
Lord I don’t want no stress in my life
No stress (no stress in my life)
No stress (no stress in my life)
No stress (no stress in my life)
Lord I don’t want no stress in my life
[Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway]
And oh yes, y’all know that I’m always
Gon’ give it my all and no less
And when I’m done everyone in the cypher
Doesn’t wanna go next
Making excuses, trying to come up ‘I gotta go’ text
Gotta get to soundcheck and go over your set
But you ain’t rocked a show yet
See some of the cats be thinking they rappers now
‘Cause they bought a Rolex
But that’s not attitude that’s gonna
Get you up on the Honor Roll list
Sometimes I sit back and reminisce about
How I’ve been so blessed
See I’m just trying to mind my business
And live my life with no stress
[Chorus]

Gone Fishin'
03:16
|
|||
|
[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
Growing up in Arkansas, going fishing with my pops,
He said ‘unless you plan on eating always give back what you caught
Digging in my tackle box, looking for a perfect bait
Something shiny, for a spinner that make ‘em percolate
Ay yo dawg It’s gettin’ late, but that’s when they start bitin’
And when the moon is full? Well that’s when I started writin’
Start trying to, jot down anything that comes to mind
It’s a vibe sittin’ by the fire on these summer nights
Swattin’ flies, trying to find our spot off in that light
Light of in that spot, knowing that we could rock
And you know that the beat don’t stop as long as Trey behind the boards,
Plucking strings on his guitar, steady trying to strike a chord
They say that music is the weapon, the pen is mightier than the sword
When I record it’s not a hobby or something I do when I get bored
It’s my calling, so I just hope you listen to the song
At the crack of dawn, you find my sittin’ by the pond
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]
I’m gone fishin’
Yo, I’m gone fishin’
[Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway]
Spending summers on the farm, on the swing with Uncle Bill
Used to sit and pay attention to the stories that he’d tell
Staying up with Aunt Dorothy, listening to Art Bell
A skeptic by nature, yeah I guess she taught me well
Tailgating on the pickup truck, driving through the field
Five deep, in the back, with my dad behind the wheel
I remember Christmas mixes made by Beatle Bob
Rest in peace, I’d be geeked when I’d hear that needle drop
Canoeing down Eleven Point, Cooler full of beer
I can’t help it see my father when I look into the mirror
Staring at the sunset, fishing pole in my hand
Reminiscing on my life and what it means to be a man
See this ain’t no Peter Pan, ‘cause I gotta feed my fam
But sometimes I wish I could just go back to Never-Never Land
And this just a telegram, I just hope that y’all listen
At the crack of dawn, If you can’t find me
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]
I’m gone fishin’
Yo, I’m gone fishin’
And I hope that y’all listen
‘Cause, yo, I’m gone fishin’

Say My Peace
02:54
|
|||
|
[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
Came along way since back in the day when nobody would play my beats
But now I’m finally free, to speak my mind and it’s time to say my piece
It took a long time to get to the point where I’m comfortable being me
What you see, is what you get, and what you get is what you see
They say be careful what you wish for, always rractice what you preach
But don’t ever let the stop you from going after what you seek
Here to give you what you need, nothing more, nothing less
Something fresh, it’s been a minute, had to get this off my chest
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]
Every word I spit is real, had to tell you how I feel
Tell my story through these songs, always speaking from the heart, c’mon
Yeah I know alot has changed, but the goal is still the same, let’s get it
Been a minute since I left, had to get this off my chest
[Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway]
Came along way since back in the day just watching BET
But to make it in this rap game ain’t no walk on easy street
Took a long time to get to the point where I could call myself an emcee
But now I’m finally free, to speak my mind is time to say my piece
To be honest I’m just thankful that I made it to say the least
Lot of friends are now deceased, such is life, ‘c’est la vie’
Rest in peace (rest in peace), meet you on the other side
Steady looking to the sky, I’m just grateful to be alive
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]

Smell The Roses
03:02
|
|||
|
[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
Let’s enjoy the moment, sometimes you gotta just smell the roses
Babygirl, I’ll be right by your side until hell is frozen
‘Cause my love for you, it goes deeper than the ocean
Especially when you back it up for me in slow motion
So potent, you know I’ll be the first to pick up when that telephone ring
Anything you need don’t hesitate ‘cause it ain’t no thing
Come runnin’ for you like ‘run Forest!’
Anybody try to touch you, I’ll whoop ‘em like Chuck Norris
No warrant, see this is more than just puppy love, it’s full grown
But sometimes you gotta slow it down, like when you in a school zone
And I hope that we feel this, feel this way forever
You can plan a pretty picnic but you can’t predict the weather
Ten years later, how does it keep getting better
Like Daði Freyr, I just love ‘the time that we spend together’
It feels good don’t it, [icture us somewhere getting cozy
Sometimes you stop, just gotta wake up and smell the roses
[Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway]
Sometimes you just, gotta wake up and smell the flowers
Clear your head, go for a stroll, take a shower
Step away from the screen for a couple of hours
So I can come back to the lab and make something that’s timeless
Never run out of my mileage
Listen homie you now rockin’ with one of the finest
If you’re looking for that hot shit then you know where to find us
New album ‘bout to drop, where you been
Yo you must have be sleepin’ behind a rock
Sometimes you gotta stop, and just appreciate the moment
Some people go through life but they don’t even smell the roses
Walking around, head down, steady scrolling on they phones
While they watch the world burn, from the comfort of they homes
Time to get up, get involved, get out you’re comfort zone
I’m sure that someone out there could make use of what you know
Starting from Ground Zero, just like the Twin Towers
And when they make it, just make sure to give to them they flowers
And smell the roses (smell the roses)

Found U
02:29
|
|||
|
[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
Ever, ever, ever since I found you
When we met that was round one, this is round this round two
Riding through the sunset like Kim and Ye in ‘Bound 2’
Don’t front, girl you know that I can’t live without you
And I vow to, stay by your side no matter what
‘Cause nowadays it’s hard to find somebody that you can trust
Type of girl to roll a blunt and cook dinner without a fuss
But don’t get it twisted, ‘cause she’s independent as fuck
Lift me up (lift me up), whenever I’m in a rut
Reminding me of my purpose and why I never give up
And I wish that I could show you how much that you changed my life
For the better, ever since the the day I made you my wife
I know sometimes I’m too stubborn to take advice and admit you’re right
I’m not perfect, but I’m here if you’re searching for ‘Mr. Right’
And ever ever since I found you, I knew it was meant to be
Just you and me, chillin’ somewhere by the sea
You can can feel the summer breeze
[Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway]
Ever, ever, ever since I found you
Overwhelmed with excitement like my crib was soundproof
I was hype like, like they just announced ‘Earthbound 2’
GIrl you know I couldn’t do none this without you
See I ain’t ever found a love like this
Gotta wake up early can I get a good night kiss
Under the moonlight bliss, yes I do like kids
She my perfect definition what a true wife is
Let’s start a new a new life and build something that we can be proud of
You can pursue your dreams and I’m a keep making these albums
Came a long way from eaten ramen, sleeping on couches
Now we driving through nice neighborhoods, lookin at houses
And I hope that I can show you or someday that you’ll see
‘Cause when you walk into the room, I’m unable to breath
Visions of you and me, sittin’ underneath the palm trees
Grateful I found you, but technically, I guess you found me

It's Official
03:18
|
|||
|
[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
I tried to let them know, but these hoes ain’t ready
Catch me cruisin’, bumping music in a chromed out Chevy
It’s official, we about to get the band back together
Sitting twenty-inch blades, wood grain with the leather
We do a huge numbers, touring like The Blues Brothers
Might pull up to your city like ‘what it do cousin’
DJs spinnin’ we just chillin’ by the pool all summer
Barbecuing, man we ‘bout to act a fool like ‘Dumb and Dumber’
Plus we got more booze comin’, so shorty what you drank
I just fixed the place up, baby tell me what you think
You ain’t know, yeah them boys be goin’ hard in the paint
And when they see us up on stage, all the ladies start to faint
B.B. KIng in back, steady playing his guitar
They ain’t trippin’ on me, they just wanna fuck my car
When they see me ridin’ dirty down I-65
Just like Three Six , I’m a stay fly ’til I die bitch
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]
Cruisin’ bumping music in a chromed out Chevy
We ‘bout to get the band back together
Twenty-inch blades, wood grain with the leather
It’s official, we ‘bout to get the band back together
Cruisin’ bumping music in a chromed out Chevy
We ‘bout to get the band back together
Twenty-inch blades, wood grain with the leather
It’s official, we ‘bout to get the band back together
[Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway]
Man you know that it’s official like a referee whistle
Young C-Note in the back, like ‘pass weed Gizzle!’
Cruisin’ in the yellow Benz, trying to vibe off instrumentals
Similarities to real events are all coincidental
When I pull up in a limo, like ‘shorty what it do’
‘Bout to stunt like prom night, plus I still got room for two
They confused, last time they saw me I was flipping burgers
Now they starstruck, when I come around they all start gettin’ nervous,
Just admit it, yo this shit is burning hotter than a furnace
But to make it in this rap game then you gotta be determined
It’s official, we gon’ to take it to whole ‘nother level
The way he play the blues you’d think he sold his soul to the devil
I should get a gold medal, for all my contributions
Document my life story, shit y’all should make a movie
Catch me cruisin’ bumpin music in a chromed out Chevy
It’s official ‘bout to get the band back together
[Chorus: Amerigo Gazaway]

Love, AG

[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
I miss the old AG, stay on the road AG
Yasiin Bey to Marvin Gaye, chop up the soul AG
Not this always tryin to rap and kick a flow AG
If they sayin that they must know even know AG
See I’ve been doing this since I was just a teen
Writing rhymes with Young Bou, homie Rest In Beats
We was destined to be, the greatest to ever do it
And we will shall live eternally forever through this this music
Never losing sight, of who you are AG
You can’t turn back now, you’ve come to far AG
I miss the flips AG, the remix AG
Eff this rap shit, man what happened to the hits AG?
And why I can’t just stream or make my own playlists
Ay yo I really think that you should sample this AG
Can I charge my phone? Do you take requests AG?
And we all wanna know, what you gon’ mashup next AG?
See that’s reason why, I’ve been feeling stressed lately
And my thoughts have have been harder to express lately
All these questions like, ‘have you ever met Jay Z?’
Friends I grew up with think I’ve changed but yo it’s just AG
Peace to all the fans out there who still love AG
And to all the people who just heard of AG
because without you there wouldn’t ever be AG
And don’t forget to clear your samples ‘cause these beats ain’t free
It’ s Gizzle

Hold a Candle
03:19
|
|||
|
[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
See all these other broads, can’t hold a candle to your love
‘Cause girl you’re like an angel that was sent from up above
When we first met, I didn’t think I was enough
Had to to step it up, ‘cause I don’t wanna mess this up
Had go to become, a man that’s worthy or your presence
Worthy of your essence, am I deserving of these blessings?
Shine like fluorescence, aromatherapy for the soul
Don’t ever let me catch nobody comparing thee to these hoes
You a queen true indeed, picturing you and me
Slow dancing in the living room, grooving to the beat
Gotta move your feet, when record is spinnin’
But pay attention to the music ‘cause there’s messages in it
Light a candle, for those who are no longer with us
Money makes the world go round but why’s it so hard to get it it
And so easy to spend it, steady trying to make a buck
But all the riches in the world can’t hold a candle to your love
[Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway]
Can’t hold a candle to your love, it shines so bright
It’s like a natural aphrodisiac, I’m high on life
The way you me feel, yo it’s sorta surreal
And you know I’ll hold you down girl you already know the deal
Eat a meal, Netflix and chill, watching ‘Key & Peele’
There no one else I’d rather be with, I’m just being real
You’re sun in my sky, you’re the apple of my eye
You’re the candle shining bright, illuminating the night
You’re star (you’re a star), don’t ever forget who you are
Before we met I was the type to never get too involved
But tast all changed, the day that met you
Built a wall around me, but you were able to get through
Just move (just move), let the rhythm infect you
And let go of all your of your inhibitions and let loose
Yo, they say that music is a drug
Yeah it’s fun, but it don’t hold a candle to your love

The Sunshine

[Verse 1: Amerigo Gazaway]
Let’s take a walk through Brooklyn
There some places you should go some you probably shouldn’t
All those neighborhoods you used to know is lookin’ quite different
‘Cause the folks that used to live there either left or got evicted
Raised the prices, and renovate the place to make it nicer
Now they only rent to folks who’s skin a couple shades lighter
Starbucks on every corner, people puffin’ marijuana
Head shops on the block, to cop anything you wanna
Food trucks, hit one up, if you want an empanada
New York is red hot, don’t forget to drink your water
It’s just summer in the city, all the girls are lookin’ pretty
Linking up with old friends, yeah I know that I’ve been busy
But it’s good to catch up, laugh and have a couple beers
I just wish that we see each other more than once a year
But for now, let’s appreciate this moment while we’re here
Smif-N-Wessun in my headphones while I’m strolling by the pier
[Chorus]
In the sunshine
Everybody love’s the sunshine
My life, my life, my life my life
In the sunshine
Everybody love’s the sunshine
My life, my life, my life my life
[Verse 2: Amerigo Gazaway]
Let’s take a walk through Oakland
Telegraph Ave, all the heads is busy smokin’
At the People’s Park, cops could show up any moment
Standing on the corner, waiting for the record store to open
We can hit up Lake Merritt, if you wanna take a stroll
I would go to the city but I don’t wanna pay the toll
East Bay, all day, catch me at the Berkeley Bowl
If I’m coming back to visit, then you’ll be the first to know
Clipper card in my pocket bout to hop up on the BART
My favorite artist is performing and their song’s about to start
All the people having picnics outsIde at Delores Park
But you better tuck your chain and pack your stuff before it’s dark
We could go thrift shoppin’ while we’re walking down Haight Street
Keep your eyes peeled, you never know who you may see
So let’s appreciate this present moment for today
Rickey Vincent in my headphones, while I’m strollin’ through the Bay
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Amerigo Gazaway]
Let’s take a walk through the Ville
Can’t even recognize it all the stuff to trying to build
Remember when we used to chill, on the porch and Bongo Java
With a sketchbook and some kava, yeah smoke ‘em if you got ‘em
Must be somehin’ in the water, Music City USA
Been a minute since we kicked, damn I wish that I could stay
We could head down to McKays or hit up The Great Escape
Holla at me if you need a great place to take a date
We can watch the sun set from the top of Love Circle
And kick it at Centennial Park for the drum circle
We could feed the ducks and swans, sitting by the Parthenon
All these places that I’ve gone, yo I had to write a song
I remember playing hide and seek at the Dragon Park
Case Bloom used to scoop me up before I had a car
Look at the skyline, trying to write down how how I feel
Bumpin 92Q, while I’m rolling through the Ville
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
