Got leaves fallin’ down, Its magic, Summer’s nearly done, So tragic. Open up your mind and feel it, Hook onto that fish, Just reel it. Don’t let no one ever steal it, Wrap it up in plastic, Seal it, Getcha friends reelin’ and droppin’ to the ceiling, DOWN! Drop it down. DOWN, Drop it down. I got this irrisistable itch, I felt it as a kid, Growin up in South Jerz, And doin’ what we did. All day till 3 we got stick inside, As if by some corporate design, And if by chance, Didn’t have to wait, Know we’d roll up fast, Never hesitate, yeah, DOWN! Roll it down. DOWN, Roll it down. Yeah man. Shit… WATCH IT! (DROP- Get funky wit it!) You got me droppin down, And then back again, Girlfriend, to be a 10 you’ve got to be my friend. Spark it up, Smoke it down, Burnin’ green to brown, To chill with us you gotta bust, Like you can’t slow down. So we cruise town to town, Goin’ pound for pound, Smokin’ all kinds of strains, That you can’t pronounce, yeah! Got leaves fallin’ down, Its magic, Summer’s nearly done, So tragic. Open up your mind and feel it, Hook onto that fish, Just reel it. Don’t let no one ever steal it, Wrap it up in plastic, Seal it, Getcha friends reelin’ and droppin’ to the ceiling, DOWN! Drop it down. DOWN, Drop it down.
4.	The Lion 04:33	lyrics	buy track
A lion on the walk, A lion on the stalk, Said she wanna take a toke, Said I gotta get my smoke. So we hopped in the Le Sabrè, And headed for the causeway, She asked me where I’m goin, And I said I’m headed my way. Shot her up a text, When will I see you next, She said she wanna party, But for me it’s just the sex. (yeah) Dazed and confused, What ya got to lose? She smoked a little ganja, And she’s drank a little booze. (yeah) Dazed and confused, What ya got to lose? The excitement that you’re bringin’ Me is warmin’ up my mood. The high lion The high lion. The high lion. The high lion. A lion on the walk, A lion on the stalk, Said she wanna take a toke, Said I gotta get my smoke. So I put ‘pon my head, A backwards hat, p-p-put on a fresh bro tank, and a temporary tat. I pulled up at the bar She hopped up in my car, Smoked a spliff at the gazebos, And we looked up at the stars. (yeah) Dazed and confused, What ya got to lose? She smoked a little ganja, And she’s drank a little booze. (yeah) Dazed and confused, What ya got to lose? The excitement that you’re bringin’ Me is warmin’ up my mood. The high lion. The high lion. The high lion. The highh lion.

Police no intimídate me, We just chill pon’ da park, Smoke that good sensi (WHAT) Police no interrogate me, We just chill pon’ da park, Smoke that good sensi (DAT TREE) Going to a party, A funky reggae party, Bustin’ rhymes with I see, Actin’ kinda naughty, Creep into the night we, Do just what we like, please, Share with us your vibes, Takin’ tokes and getting’ irie. Still reachin for the sky be, So musically unique, yo, Raised upon the beach, We’re in the water when its shark week, Always rockin’ bare feet, Never care what you think, Ask me what I’m reppin’ And you know I say Squid Bros Inc! Police no intimídate me, We just chill pon’ da park, Smoke that good sensi (WHAT) Police no interrogate me, We just chill pon’ da park, Smoke that good sensi (DAT TREE) Foolish fools cannot erase me, Instead they must embrace me, These fears we cannot face, we, Often lay to rest, see, Truth can our friend be, Meditate good sensi, Isolate negative vibes, And drop ‘em till we’re waste free. The fact is life ain’t easy, Too many people skeezy, Corrupted governments, Too many people on the streets be, Room for love is plenty, No jealousy and envy, Forget about the hate in life and spread the positivity. (Word) Police no intimídate me, We just chill pon’ da park, Smoke that good sensi (WHAT) Police no interrogate me, We just chill pon’ da park, Smoke that good sensi (DAT TREE)
6.	Scrub Island 02:43	lyrics	buy track
Now when ya sailin’ through the islands, There’s some shit you gotta get- Takin’ shits is shit, Might have to get a little wet. Goin’ hours and hours with only water all around, Hittin’ up a new port, And checkin’ out the town. If you find some good shit, Make sure to stack it by the pound, Instead of black from green, We’re burning black from brown, But the views mad nice, So I can’t complain, Layin’ up upon the deck, And getting higher than a plane- And when the sun comes up, It’s time to raise the main, Then it’s on our way, To our next island domain, yup! So come and sail with I, Chasin’ an eternal summer in the BVI, (yup, yup) So come and blaze with I, Chasin’ an eternal summer in the BVI! Kickin’ back, Me and C-Lac, as a matter of fact, Droppin’ bills every time we get offered a sack, Take a toke and relax, Lay ya head on the sack, Then slide open the hatch, And out the porthole elapse. Then it’s into the dinghy, Push- drift off in a jiffy, Start the engine and gun it, I’m talkin’ well over 50, To the island we go, Wooden bowl after bowl, When we jam out at the bar, The panties drop in a row, yeah! So come and sail with I, Chasin’ an eternal summer in the BVI, (yup, yup) So come and blaze with I, Chasin’ an eternal summer in the BVI! So come and sail with I, Chasin’ an eternal summer in the BVI, (woah) So come and blaze with I, Chasin’ an eternal summer in the BVI!
7.	Boyfriend 04:20	lyrics	buy track
I can feel it how you're moving, that you love the way I feel, keep your sexy little sex appeal, cuz girl I know you're not for real. but you won't stop, and you won't chill, so I must step down girl ya drive me crazy with ya sensuous physique, got to no time for ryhme or reason, my knees weaken when you speak. But ya boyfriend walkin through the door, it seems that you are spoken for, i've seen it all in times before, and watched the panties hit the floor. Seen teases play and playas tease, each part of it a part of me. Ridiculous, insanity, extent of our humanity. Religiously, we follow these, archaic ideologies, and party social norms, and hook up cultures handed down to me. I'm down to be, released from thee, escape from all these dieties, and break the chains that hold me down, just call me Harry Houdini. Some space is what I've come to need, to see that you're no good for me, but still can't seem to liberate myself from what we've come to be. Wake up in the morning and I roll my self a spliff, sack up in my pocket, and no one to share it with.- but Never worry cuz all my friends are down to smoke, when we’re all around we, circle up and toke and- share irie vibes, and good mentalities, no ones in a rush but, that's always fine with me, yeah I can feel it how you're moving, that you love the way I feel, keep your sexy little sex appeal, cuz girl I know you're not for real. but you won't stop, and you won't chill, so I must step down
8.	No Love No Peace 04:43	lyrics	buy track
I pledge allegiance, To the flag, Of the United States of America, And to the Republic, For which it stands, One nation, Under God, Indivisible, With liberty and justice for all. Fuck that! no love no peace no justice no ease Yo my opinion as of late, you can't even call us great, as I look at a society so largely run by hate. Hatred for the other nations, hatred for the black and brown, hatred for these whole communities based all around a town. Is anybody askin’ why? Does anybody even try? Pile shit on top of shit, continue following the blind. Can anybody use their mind? Pacified by our surroundings, just amusement till we die. Got no love from our own government, no love from the police, got no love for economically unstable or diseased. Minds preoccupied by greed, got no idea what we need. Legally dispensing poison, we can't even smoke some weed? Do you agree? Can't you see? Following so silently? Take a stand, we the people got more power than we see. We got more power than we see, so take a stand, we the people got more power than we see. no love no peace no justice no ease Know they got a cure for cancer, probably Ebola too, but without the fear of dying can't control the living too. Are you blind? Do you agree? We got this violence in the streets, yo, increased globalization, and yet still no hope for peace. And they say as world gets smaller, populations should improve, over time and with support that they can grow and flourish too. Is anybody callin' bullshit? Anybody even try? Why do we keep on supporting if we don't agree with why? I said we don't agree with why- shouldn't be afraid to live, when everybody's born to die. no love no peace no justice no ease

about

You pop on the album. "Cool, lets see what these guys actually got" you think to yourself. Studdenly some static. Woah, thats ya man Junior startin' off the jam like usual! But where's that music... Then BAM! They all come in right on que with that perfect musical release-- and what's more, it most certainly has that energy you were expecting. Quenched, wondering what could possibly come next, you hear a crisp can open and out comes...(you guessed it), Truth Juice! "I know this song, hell yeah!" you exclaim, quickly checking the room to see if anyone heard. They probably did, but its OK. Next comes a phone conversation...? "What could that be?" you wonder. She sounds older, hmm...
This shit is great, but lets face it--you wanna hear some hardcore original dubby jammin' somethin' somethin', huh? What a jam! But now you've had a taste and you wanna party. We get it.
Come party with us in the islands. We've got a whole boat chartered just for YOU.
Nice, this one's definitely different. Suddenly your head starts a-rockin' and and ya don't try ta stop it. Certainly you've enjoyed this musical roller-coaster thus far, but like all good things, you remember this little vessel's gonna have to stop back at the loading dock. But somethings missing... These guys just managed to get you to listen to all of their songs, and they're not gonna try to take a stand to better society or at least voice their concerns? Take a deep breath, passengers, this coasters hitting a loop before the terminal.
