I BELIEVE
(Composto 2010)
I believe my talent will show
I believe my talent will grow
Ain’t nobody gonna’ tell me to stop
Ain’t nobody gonna’ tell me to turn my back away
'Cause you, you’re soul destroying
And you, you think you know what’s best for me
But I, I’m multiplying
And I, I know what’s best for me, I know what’s best for me, I know what’s best for me
So we must work it out
The time for change is now
I feel my time has come
'Cause I know my destiny, I know my destiny, I know my destiny
'Cause all we need for a light to shine through
Is the right chemistry between you and me
'Cause all we need for us to grow new
Is belief in me is belief in me is belief in me
So bring it on build me up take me on
And let’s get down to it we’re gonna get through it
So bring it on build me up take me on
And let’s get down to it we’re gonna get through it
'Cause I believe we can do it
'Cause I believe we’ll get through it
And I can see that we’re moving
Moving to a better place
We’ve got the gas
We’ve got the engine
We’ve got the mass
We’re never ending
We’ve got the gas
We’ve got the engine
We’ve got the mass
We’re never ending
HONEY
(Composto 2012)
When the summer sun splashes on your face
You realise this is your place
The palm trees whistle in your ear
You close your eyes, think back to all the years
Traffic jams, friendly shaking hands, make you feel at home
Rice and bean philosophy made you bold and strong
Trustworthy policy was on the screen, far away from home
A close knit family, with honey melody, turned ambition on
Indian, black and and white spiritual diversity
Spice things up with British time for tea
The traditional queen and her monarchy
They liven up with new democracy
The classic underground from So-Ho town and into Oxford Circus
The birds and bees among the trees, organic londoners
Hackney taxi ranks, double decker lights, excuse me, oh yes sir
A future with a twist, my hands will work for this, in a hungy megalopolis
In a hungy, oh a hungry, in a hungy megalopolis
ZILIAN
(Composto 2010)
Beggars, buyers and workers on a crowded street
All the people feel the heat
But continue to walk on their feet
A thoughtful man, he comes to me and says
You wanna know how I feel?
Sit down and listen it’s time to get real
You ain’t stealing my sunshine
You ain’t taking my imagination, no, no
With your political corruption
Your corporate indoctrination
Social hypocrisy
Ain’t getting close to me, no, no
We’ve got a mind to think alone
We play in our own tone, tone
He said we, got to get up, got to stand up, got to be ready to go
Got to get up, got to stand up, got to be ready to go
Got to get up, got to stand up, got to be ready, ready, ready to go
Cause hey we are Brazilian we’re more than a zilian
And hey we’re looking up front, we ain’t giving up
Cause hey we are Brazilian we’re more than a zilian
And hey we’ll show you the way, anytime of day
The rain has come, with it the floods
Nobody can get back home
So they keep on working to the bone
Hope permeates, people don’t stop
I can see it in their eyes
Got a feeling that they will rise
You ain’t stealing my thunder
You ain’t keeping my, fascination, no, no
We’ve got a mind to think alone
We play in our own tone, tone
He said we, got to get up, got to stand up, got to be ready to go
Got to get up, got to stand up, got to be ready to go
Got to get up, got to stand up, got to be ready, ready, ready to go
Cause hey we are Brazilian we’re more than a zilian
And hey we’re looking up front, we ain’t giving up
Cause hey we are Brazilian we’re more than a zilian
And hey we’ll show you the way, anytime of day
REAL FANTASY
(Composto 2013)
Life, life is like, like a board game, without rules
And time, time goes by, no beginning and no end
Look in your souls, find a meaning, for your play
Choose an adventure, love and glory, your own way
We make up all the names, give seconds to days and run through the maze
What if all trees are blue, and mirrors don’t reflect you, a one time déjà-vu
We drink champagne in glasses, take our chances in vintage romances
We sit around the tables, invent the fables and believe the facts
I said life, life is like, like a board game, without rules
And time, time goes by, no beginning and no end
Look in your souls, find a meaning, for your play
Choose an adventure, love and glory, your own way
Welcome to my world, this world has set me free, has shown me liberty
Take the scenic route, with dreams that change for you, a little home for two
Revealing and concealing, your mouth and eyes, made me realise
The human connection, together me must try, a warm hello goodbye, hello goodbye, hello goodbye
So fly to the sky, be your own spy, grow old and never die
Swim to Japan, greet me with a grin, show the magic from within
Cause these are the days, rules weren’t made to be obeyed, there’s always more to say
Made up reality or a truthful fantasy, what is it going to be? What is it going to be? What is it going to be?
FORGOTTEN WORDS
(Composto 2013)
The door is open, come by and say hello
You know I’ve missed you, the memories come and go
Do you realise, you are a part of me
Even at a distance, I want to set you free
Oh, ho, uh, oh, please, please, please understand me
Oh, ho, uh, oh, babe, babe, the best things in life are free
The door is open, come by and say hello
You know I’ve missed you, the memories come and go
Do you realise, you are a part of me
Even at a distance, I want to set you free
Oh, ho, uh, oh, please, please, please understand me
Oh, ho, uh, oh, babe, babe, the best things in life are free
Second chance is what we got
A better life is right in front
And with you here all is so much better
It’s all love and care we’ll protect you I swear
Short temper and violence
Are things we won’t tolerate
And with you here all is so much better
It’s all love and care we’ll protect you I swear
When you were on your own, you learnt not to waste time
Now you’ve learnt a thing or two and like a glass of red wine
Drums, undress, I am impressed, I catch you in the act
Close and far, teasing my sight, my sweet and sour zest
Please, please, please understand me
Oh, ho, uh, oh, babe, babe, the best things in life are free
WE KNOW
(Composto 2010)
Monday morning I wake up go to work
What am I doing I don’t know what I want
I realize that nothing has changed
All is tidy, all is mundane
The fields are green and the sun is shining
But where is my babe, she should be by my side
She’s the light of my life, she’s the smile of my face
With her on my mind there is no better place
I’m running to meet her, kiss her cheeks
Tell her I love her and that we make a good team
She’s the light of my life, she’s the smile of my face
With her on my mind there is no better place
We want happiness for all
Helping hands for when we fall
We know, we know
We want happiness for all
We want spring before the fall
We know, we know
We want fair people in our home
We want to know our kids have grown
We know, we know, we know
We know, we know, we know, we know
MY BABY (THE BEST OF ME)
(Composto 2014)
Yeah, e yeah e ye-yeah!
If you wanna, be my baby
If you wanna, be my baby
You gotta show me, that you want it
You gotta show me, that you got it
Yeah, e yeah e ye-yeah!
I see your eyes, I know your lies
I walk right by you, with no goodbyes
Well I want you, but I can’t have you
Well I need you, but I can’t take you
You’ll get the best of me, truly the best of me, only the best of me. Simply the best! Only the best! Of me.
There are no heroes, there are no villains,
Just you and I, your soul and mine
If you want to see, what I see
Just close your eyes, and come with me.
Yeah, e yeah e ye-yeah, oh-ho-oh
Oh-uh-oh-uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-ooo
You’ll get the best of me, truly the best of me, only the best of me, simply the best! Only the best! Of me.
ALL I THINK OF IS YOU
(Composto 2011)
All I Think Of Is You
All I Think Of Is You
All I Think Of Is You
All I Think Of Is You
Dark eyes a beautiful colour
My love there is no other
Soft hands a feminine smile
She’s even travelled the Nile
So come on my femme, I want you here
To light up my fire, every day every year
You’re looking so fine, we’ll take a step at a time
In a few weeks to come I’ll have you all undone
We listen to reggae, pop, rock
You feel cold, I feel hot
Your glowing eyes and luscious thighs
Are the reason for my sun to rise
All I Think Of Is You
All I Think Of Is You
All I Think Of Is You
All I Think Of Is You
She knows what she wants
I know how to guide her
We’ll be together forever
Our lives will be a pleasure
So come on my femme, I want you here
To light up my fire, every day every year
You’re looking so fine, we’ll take a step at a time
In a few weeks to come I’ll have you all undone
We listen to reggae, pop, rock
You feel cold, I feel hot
Your glowing eyes and luscious byes
Are the reason for my sun to rise
All I Think Of Is You
All I Think Of Is You

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
(Composto 2010)
We had a conversation
On a late Friday night
Things were left unsaid
And now we better make it right
You said our streets would be clean
That our parks would be green
You said we'd have fresh water
But those are things we can't see
You ain't running away
I'm here waiting for you
You’ve got unfinished business, with us
You said you'd give me a raise
It was a matter of days
You said things would get better now
But take a look at my face
You ain't running away
I'm here waiting for you
You’ve got unfinished business, with us
Unfinished business is what you are,
Is what you do, is what you make me go through
Unfinished business is what I'm not,
What I don't do, what makes me want to renew
Unfinished business is what you are,
Is what you do, is what you make me go through
Unfinished business is what I'm not,
What I don't do, what makes me want to renew
Come back here, we got things to talk about
Come back here, we got to sort it out
Come back here, we got unfinished business
Come back here, we got things to talk about
Come back here, we got to sort it out
Come back here, we got unfinished business
Come back here, we got things to talk about
Come back here, we got to sort it out
Come back here, we got unfinished business
Come back here, we got things to talk about
Come back here, we got to sort it out
Come back here, we got unfinished business
CAPTAIN
(Composto 2012)
Driving along the sinuous roads,
Sailing through the stormy waves,
Flying past the treacherous winds,
Sturdy captain holds the reins.
Falling down abysmally,
Shady acceleration scrapes the skin,
Shooting up, oooh, so heavenly,
Bright peace draws from within.
So catch up if you can,
Stay if you please,
Will no longer falter,
He is ready for the plead.
Hey, finally arrives at bay,
Identity glares with truth,
Secrets need no longer stay,
For happiness to rendezvous.

Hey, finally arrives at bay,
Identity glares with truth,
Secrets need no longer stay,
For happiness to rendezvous.
Declaration shout for fight,
Direction points from dark to light,
And in the end when all turns still,
The compass was his own free will.
And in the end, when all turns still,
The compass was his own free will.
WAVE RIDER
(Composto 2016)
Fortune tellers, revealing the past
Politicians, putting people in last
Guns and weapons, being used in the class
Where are we now?
You see people, riding the wave,
The wave of insanity, people like you and me
Tell me now, be you friend or foe,
Do we have a chance, or should we all let go?
Giving up on those who sound right and do wrong
Living beside those who look weak but are strong
In the humble journey for change
Working for a better day
You see people, riding the wave,
The wave of humanity, people like you and me
Tell me when you look into the past,
Do you see a chance, in making our people last?
Individual ambitions, manipulated opinions
Collective fears, with no power only tears
The will to move on, in the light of day
But you’re in the dark, who will show you the way?
You see people, riding the wave,
The wave of their destiny, people like you and me
Tell me now, be you friend or foe,
Do we have a chance, or should we all let go?
Tell me, when you look into the past,
Do you see a chance, in making our people last?
Tell me now, whilst we’re on this boat,
Have we got the time, for a final vote?
Have we got the time, for a final vote?
Have we got the time, for a final vote?
