Track Name: Listen and Watch
Shifty J
Verse 1

So what you thought of Time,
It don't matter pay no mind
Just a question to break the ice,
to get to know each other in this rhyme
The name is Shifty J, Straight out of LA
Lost Thought in the Sundance, We like AC and OJ
Lived through the LA Riots
Baptized in the Violence
Venomous on the mic, when I strike with the silence
Been through hell and back, and I'm ready for more
Seven years on assignment on the Casino floor
Back from the field, sure feels good to be home
Lounging in the shade, with my glass and swerve on
Them Politricks, got me staring hearing corporate lies
Bounced out the scene, found my life to my surprise
I survived, again and go and breathe the fresh air
So free to be me, and those chips I dont care
Fried Roots is the biz, and this music is my life,
Just listen to the wind blow and watch the sun rise

Chorus (Listen to the Wind Blow)

Lost Thought
Verse 2

Watch the breeze slowly push and send a message to the Earth
Where the chaos is bezerk
Never layoff when its work
When I was young, sort of quiet sheltered from fun
Where days past, years gone, now life has begun
I live in the moment, past the point where I gotta be
Check in and Check out, seems thats a part of me
No longer wonder,
If i wood like lumber, If I could go under
I just stare into those summer nights
My family's hoping that I land on my feet,
Lost and travelling, hear the soles when they squeak
With my soul on the beat
Never too old for defeat
But too old to look back
And too smart to repeat
I got this new change in mind, where they cant trap me
Are ya happy, always ask me, point exactly
View the sunset, sitting thinking whats next
Listen for sec and hold as if ya last breath

Chorus (Listen to the wind Blow)

Verse 3
Shifty J and Lost Thought

Whats money got to do with it
Its either profit or empty pockets, watch ya mind start losing it
Go ahead and do what ya do
Aint no movement till ya move
Got only one life to live, I better make it count
Ya either in or your out, and if out then bounce
Jackers get jacked, and players get played
And even hustlers get hustled out their own game

Chorus (Listen to the Wind Blow)
Track Name: Its the Music
Shifty J
Verse 1

Prophets on the mic,
lock rhymes with chosen rights
My vision seeks target in the absence of light
Hidden foes are exposed and taken out with one blow
Sown are the seeds of knowledge that I bestow
Disciples of the rhyme,
Our lives are intertwined
The fates have a different revision for our lives
Its unclear at times,
Sometimes the light don't even shine
Feel the weight of your life bearing down on your mind
Believe or forsaken,
In dreams we are awakened
In the shadow of the future reveals the sheer amazement
Slayers with the mics, written scriptures of rhymes
Timeless are the lines,
In centuries they will find
Flip the third eye,
Of written speech we fry
Flying the grey skies make them clouds cry why
God of words,
Outstretched takes flight
Bring forth the seventh seal and say good night

Chorus (Shifty J and Lost Thought)
Its the music, yeah we made it
You can love it or ya hate it
Its the madness and the voices in my head that made me make it

Lost Thought
Verse 2
Keep the flowing goin, intersect the storm be blowing
West Coast, that random cold breeze
High off tropical weed
LT with topics indeed, try to succeed
I Got them wants and them needs, words convert to currencies
Can ya, really spare some change
Not begging,
Underground that local legend, still around like bootlegging
Im the pope and you the reverened
Tap dance and watch your stepping
Don't waste my time, I'm talking miliseconds
Pick it up like Redman, move the crowd like Rakim
Picture me rolling like Pac, influenced by the beat in the box
I keep that Hip Hop alive,
Call Shift and twist a blunt on the 405
Gotta get my mind correct, make sure my sights in check
You make the call and we aim right above the neck
Ruin ya scheme, we're like Oceans 13
Let ya know we hit ya, and still get the green

Chorus (Shifty J and Lost Thought)
Its the music, yeah we made it
You can love it or ya hate it
Its the madness and the voices in my head that made me make it
