This To Shall Pass Top of Page
Music: N. Hexum; Lyrics: N. Hexum


I dont jones for nothing
Cause thats a waste
Waste of space in my frontal lobe and
I just sit, deal with it, dont have a fit
Do you know what Im sayin?

I just get as down as I can
Dont look to relief from a troubled young man
Just take a piece
Sometimes it sucks

Oh I'm not too sure if I can do this on my own guys Like I'm thinking maybe we should form a support group Or perhaps a church sponsored youth group Oh and then then I say I looked the other way
I changed my point of view
And heres what I do

This too shall pass
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
This..
All the good times, all the bad times
Face it bro, they all will pass

Your problems will seem inconsequential and trivial
When you realize one thing
Were just a speck of dirt on this golf ball
Called ?????
Its stupid insane

And didnt then I see
I looked the other way
I changed my point of view
And heres what I do

* Thanks to Mike Ganezer, and Nicole A. Warzecha

Peaceful Revolution Top of Page
Music: N. Hexum; Lyrics: N. Hexum


Its good to be alive in the peaceful revolution
An honor to observe the beautiful solution
I tip my hat to we the people in order to form a more perfect world
This shall come to pass

The beginning of the end
Of the ignorance that once could sin
The tyrant to power
His day is done
In the worldwide revolution
Yeah, the peaceful revolution

All around this small world
Now the people demand to listen
These truths self-evident
Philosophical evolution
As the old die out
The young see a better way
Human rights guaranteed to all
Without regard to race, I say

The beginning of the end
Now the people vote, we will not sin
The tyrant to power
His day is done
In the worldwide revolution
In the peaceful revolution

I see the last frontier and the peaceful revolution
World peace is merely a product of social evolution
The conquest lies in accepting different peoples
And thinking right here at home
In the suns kingdom

The beginning of the end
And of the tolerance that once could sin
The tyrant to power
His day is done
In the worldwide revolution
In the peaceful revolution

Its the peaceful revolution
Its the peaceful revolution

!#$ the %&*! (Fuck the bullshit) Top of Page
Music: N. Hexum/Watson/D. Martinez; Lyrics: N. Hexum/Watson/D. Martinez


You know Im ready, and I rock steady
My names not Betty or Teddy, but Nick
And Im not a hip with a head tick
Though I am from Nebraska
My girl is satisfied, you can ask her
You know I never visited Alaska
Huh, where the oil was spilt
That drunken captain should be killed
For polluting the sea, an atrocity
That fucks with me, well
This one goes to all the birds that drowned
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down

Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down

Just fuck the bullshit, and get with it
Its time to throw down, so I said it
Words of wisdom, thatll keep yall guessing
Cause Im tired of playing and Im tired of messin around
With all yall suckers, and stupid mother fuckers
Who put down what I do
I stand alone with a groove thats new
Now that you know that the rhymes that I say
Are mine alone and I sure you dont play
I kick in your teeth, the condescending frown
Fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down

Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down

Right about now Id like to turn over the mic to my mentor SA Martinez

Go on hold it, Im poetry in motion
No jokin you pray, my word is spoken
Of the latest, the greatest, of hip-hop persuaders
The line, the rhyme, always amazes brothers
The mic drum is loomin,
And in your mind, my rap rhyme is bloomin like a flower

Fuck the bullshit SA, create the power

Just forget the dumb stuff, I call your bluff
Cause Im a big stick and youre a cream puff
And you hate it, and get frustrated
No tellin just how long you waited
I tell you what
Im a white boy, so I dont like the big butt
And, I got a plan, hand it to the man in the tan van
I would be perfectly sad if rap was fad
But its not, so I thought that Id give it a shot
Stupid dumb lyrics make you think Im a clown
I dont give a damn, its time to throw down

Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down

Down Suth Top of Page
Music: N. Hexum/C. Sexton/M. Watkins; Lyrics: N. Hexum/C. Sexton/Watkins


Let me take you down south
Hear it from the dover's mouth
The rhythm will make you want to move your body
I had it once and never ever forgot it
Feel the rhythm of rhapsody
Your body moves in raw ecstasy
Explosive eruption beyond compare, and

Take my advice don't think twice
Let me take you way down south

Step back cuz the funk is here and
The base is kickin' straight to your ear man
Because it's like that so don't talk back
And if you do then you're gonna get the back slap
Down south, that's an enigma
But to you it's a stupid dumb stigma
That's right it's outta sight

Let me tell you 'bout my baby
She loves me, don't mean maybe
She knows what I think and I don't have to say it
I love her so I don't have to play it
We sit and drink in the sun
I raise my glass and say she's the one
Cool breeze light squeeze life

Take my advice don't think twice
Let me take you way down south

Step back cuz the funk is here and
The base is kickin' straight in your ear man
Because it's like that so don't talk back
And if you do then you're gonna get the back slap
Down south, that's an enigma
But to you it's a stupid dumb stigma
That's right it's outta sight

?????????????????
?????????????????
Psychedelic freak out taco funk frolic
Grind fiend roots 'core soul music what have you
Psychedelic freak out taco funk frolic
Grind fiend roots 'core soul music what have you

Step back cuz the funk is here and
The base is kickin' straight to your ear man
Because it's like that so don't talk back
And if you do then you're gonna get the back slap
Down south, that's an enigma
But to you it's a stupid dumb stigma
That's right it's outta sight

Summer Of Love Top of Page
Music: N. Hexum; Lyrics: N. Hexum


I thought about my scene today
And I've finally got the words to say
The truth is cutting like a knife
Gonna use it to cut away my strife
The grass is green and the sky is blue
My head is clear and my thoughts are true, yeah
Thats what Im sayin

Callin' out young and old
We got a thing that can't be sold
The time it takes to rise above
In the summer of love

It's the summer of love I say

I wake up each day to the sun
And it's hard to chose what to do for fun (and man thats a drag)
A blissful world surrounds me
And my brothers and sisters love is always free
Don't you know that I've waited my whole life
Just to show what's inside and let my love flow
That's what I'm sayin'

Callin' out young and old
We got a thing that can't be sold
The time it takes to rise above
In the summer of love

It's the summer of love I say

I declare by the power vested in me
This is the summer of love and unity
Oh I say by the power vested in me
This is the summer of love and unity
I declare by the power vested in me
This is the summer of love and unity
Oh I declare by the power vested in me
This is the summer of love and unity
Oh I declare by the power vested in me
It is the summer of love

It's the summer of love I say

Push It Away Top of Page
Music: N. Hexum; Lyrics: N. Hexum


I used to have this idea
That getting a silver medal wouldnt set me free
Oh but you know that I really dont need
To catch no fame or credit
Nor a big fat bank account with no debit
So just set me straight,
Cause ??? your peace of mind just cant wait

I sent a telegram on ??????, urgent
I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
Im going free if they kill me
Cause this aint much better anyway

Just push it away

Oh success, that elusive brainchild of breed
Something you want, not need
Face it, cause
Money cant buy true friendship or trust
And applause will never be any substitute for love
But not me man, check it out

I sent a telegram on ??????, urgent
I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
Im going free if they kill me
Cause this aint much better anyway

Just push it away

Slinky Top of Page
Music: N. Hexum; Lyrics: N. Hexum


I was at this club minding my tea
I saw this pretty young thing so I thought that I would see
I don't smoke but I asked her for a cigarette
I know it's lame but I haven't got a better one yet
She danced so fine, I will gladly admit
She grinds divine, but I still cannot forget

That slinky girl is in my brain
Now I'll never be the same
No one can ever see
What that slinky girl means to me

So I'll just pretend
But I feel like

Mackadocious she's sweet and precocious
She's the one girl that I just dig, love, yes I'm not above this
You think that's wack then bro you lack
You bore me that macho crap makes me snore, see, me,
I'm all about the females, the women, the jewels of this world
Those flowers like that slinky girl

That slinky girl is in my brain
Now I'll never be the same
No one can ever see
What that slinky girl means to me

Well I met her one night I'd seen her before
She stole my brain then showed me the door
Girls that do me like that there's not many
But I've met one, that's plenty
I'm glad to say that she gets her way
She can move me and that's okay
Has the power to turn paper inky
The girl has me and she's so

That slinky girl is in my brain
Now I'll never be the same
No one can ever see
What that slinky girl means to me

Independence Day Top of Page
Music: N. Hexum; Lyrics: N. Hexum


Just throw away your material possessions
And sing the praises of life
This trip has taught me a valuable lesson
The future brings clarity and vision

It was independence day
Ive seen the other side and I say
Oh, Ive been insane
And I will never be the same

A mountain brings me space (?)
The vine brings me time (?)
Wind brings me change
Unity with the ????

It was independence day
Ive seen the other side and I say
Oh, Ive been insane
And I wont never been same

(Nick - spoken word)
As the raw son sins in glamour
And his greedy and violent rage
Stimulate and torment assailants
Peace is dead
Uneasy moment as the first warrior stirs
????? denial ???? scheming to return
The battle begins as the first victim
Slowly, grudgingly
Submits to the captivity of consciousness
And I say
It was independence day

To Be Honest Top of Page
Music: N. Hexum/C. Sexton/M/ Watkins; Lyrics: N. Hexum/C. Sexton/Watkins


To be honest
For the boy is hard
He doesnt mean to break all those girls hearts

Perks(?) they flow
Loaded gun
Only says them just to have his fun
And it sounds like this

On my mind, all the time
Youre my one and only

Kick the booty
The boy is not hard
He throws down like a crazy retard

A gentle lie
And a clever line
A deceptive romance makes for him to ????
And it sounds like

On my mind, all the time
Youre my one and only

And it sounds like this

On my mind, all the time
you know youre my one and only

Thriving To The Scene Top of Page
Music: N. Hexum; Lyrics: N. Hexum


Everything seems turning(?)
And the jam starts to break
?????????????? circles
And red and not pink

I know its not my place
But something to face
My economy seems to be
(???) In worse than actually (???)

Thriving to the scene
Thriving to the scene
Thriving to the scene

Then Im acting pissed
I couldnt share my fist (??)
The very word is coming (??)
But its a boy that I have missed (??)
Hit it

Thriving to the scene
Thriving to the scene
Thriving to the scene
