Alright, babe! Here we go! You really have to be at ease You really have to be at ease, settle down (repeat) Final hours feeding the candle Some things I can handle Glassy eyes hoping to see Heaven forbid that it be me, yeah On the tip of my tongue Oh, what I’m seeing.. I’m seeing You really have to be at ease You really have to be at ease (repeat) I love to go around and do whatever I please Tomorrow shouldn’t ruin today So funnel all your emotions to bed On the tip of my tongue, yeah Oh, what I’m feeling I’m feeling, babe, right now, yeah oh baby! Settle down. Settle down. Settle down, babe. Settle down, yeah. Chill out baby. Oh. Let me take it over now, babe. Take that off girl; on your knees, yeah. Let me do what I do baby. Oh oh babe. Let me do that. Oh take it off now…yeah! Ohhh. Baby yeah alright. Take it off, now. Babe, take it off babe. Let me do it, baby. Let me take it to you, take it to you baby. All night girl – all night babe (You really have to be at ease) Love what you’re doing to me – Love what you, love what you’re doing to me alright (You really have to be at ease, settle down) Let me do that – let me do that. Oh baby yeah alright. (You really have to be at ease) Let me take it to you all night long (You really have to be at ease, settle down) Oh baby baby yeah (You really have to be at ease) You’re just so lovely – you’re so delicious babe (You really have to be at ease, settle down) Give it to me, give it to me. Give it to me, give it to me! (You really have to be at ease) Give it to me, give it to me! Why not all night? (You really have to be at east, settle down) All night yeah. Give it to me.

Living In Sin 05:10
lyrics

(Oh yeah. Ay Papí –you are so sexy) Love is a power that ravishes all Climb its high you’ll surely fall Look at the mileage and figure the truth Souls get worn; it’s time to change boots. That’s why I’m living in sin Just look at my grin I say to all those fools who seek The outlook of love is always bleak It has to end when you can’t let it go After living so high, leaves you feeling so low. That’s why I’m living in sin Just look at my grin That’s why I’m living in sin So bad within, yeah! Take it to another level Make me feel like the devil Take me to another level, babe Make me feel it babe! Make me feel it baby, yeah. When that fine body says hello (hello, JV) I really like you, but let’s take it slow (oh, come on!) I get so nervous and I have to be nice But it’s my soul that will then pay the price. That’s why I’m living in sin Just look at my grin That’s why I’m living in sin So bad within, yeah! Take it to another level Make me feel like the devil Take me to another level, babe Make me feel it, yeah! Take it to another level Make me feel like the devil Take me to another level, babe Make me feel it, babe Make me feel it, babe Make me feel it, babe Aw yeah, babe Can you feel me now? (oh yeah) Can you feel me now, babe? Can you feel me now, yeah? (Oh, I can feel it baby. Take it to another level you’ve never been to before) Take it to another level, yeah (You’re so sexy) Make me feel like the devil (You are so devilishly sexy, JV) Take it to me now, baby (I want it more and more) Make me feel it babe!

Brash Aim 04:27
lyrics

Yep! Alright. On the hill, they’re working the Paige In our screens, they fancy the stage Roll up their sleeves, the truths lay in tracks So much to assume, no time for the facts (no no) The pigeon-toed perched on a wire Watching all being tossed in a fire Black or white, their fist is their pride A brash aim for souls who have died, yeah yeah (yeah yeah) Where do we go from here, my lord? (I feel you want to speak through me) Where do we go from here, my lord? We’ll find out when the rapture comes (rapture comes) Figure the same can be said of the times Long ago, different men, same crimes Far behind they left on our streets Fruits of their lies sewed under their sheets, yeah yeah (yeah yeah –Sei!) Where do we go from here, my lord? (I feel you want to speak through me) Where do we go from here, my lord? (We’ll find out, oh!) Where do we go from here, my lord? (I feel you want to speak through me) Where do we go from here, my lord? We’ll find out when the rapture comes (rapture comes) (violin) Sei! Where do we go from here, my lord? (I feel you want to speak through me) Where do we go from here, my lord? (We’ll find out, oh!) Where do we go from here, my lord? (I feel you want to speak through me) Where do we go from here, my lord? We’ll find out when the rapture comes (rapture comes)

New World Order 05:36
lyrics
buy track
I’m not talking about what one man can do I’m not saying it won’t affect you But when you look around this great, big world and wonder: Who’s in control? It’s a bloodline affair to rule the world orchestrated by the crown, yeah. Why can’t you see it’s a new world order? The council of three New world order, illuminati It’s a new world order I’m not talking about some conspiracy (new world order) I’m not saying the answer will set you free (new world order) But when you look around this great, big world, Wonder who’s in control. It’s such an evil dream to rule the world and I will still pray for you, yeah! But why can’t you see it’s a new world order? The council of three New world order, illuminati It’s a new world order Ooh, don’t give it away Wake up! Wake up! Ooh, don’t give it away Stand up! Stand up! (Why can’t you see?) (The council of three) (Illuminati) It’s a new world order Why can’t you see it’s a new world order? The council of three New world order, illuminati It’s a new world order It’s a new world….

I thank you for the laughter and all after And everything in between But I won’t listen to your stories or your worries ‘cus love is blind and I could not see (no) Oh, I never knew you at all, girl Oh no no no, I never knew you all Never knew you at all (oh –baby) You used to call me every hour, that went sour ‘cus the devil cites scriptures for his gain (yes he does) Everyday was another secret, another regret And the treason made me insane Oh I never knew you at all, girl Oh no no no, I never knew you all Never knew you at all (oh –baby) Oh, don’t forget the cue (oh baby) Oh, don’t forget the cue Oh, don’t forget the cue (beware the ides of March) Oh, don’t forget the cue (Et tu, Brute?) Oh you never knew me at all, girl Oh no no no, you never knew me all Never knew me at all (oh –baby)

about

It's taken a very long time to bring myself to actually complete this project--which began in Miami in 2004 and 15 years later it's come to fruition. It didn't happen like I thought it would and the people that helped make it happen have long left my side as musicians. However, the energy and spirit of all that went into it are beautifully and forever etched into these wonderful songs, each with its own unique signature and imbued with the essence of the artists that helped me create them. I title this EP "Modern Day Socrates" because that's what I've always said I would title my first release. I question everything in this world because I am a catalyst for reflection, the sophisticated harnessing of rage and the projection of light. The answers are within us all and we can access them if we ask the right questions. As fate would have it, the time is now for these songs to be put on this platform and into your music devices. Allow more than just the melodies and musicianship to open your imagination; let the words and the frequencies speak to your soul.
