Blender 05:35
We keep a fire burnin bright, we keep it goin through the night, We keep the sharks and wolves at bay, we keep the love alive each day We keep the blender going, we keep the blender going Well you know time it dont stand still and we must find a way to fill Whatever little time we got, so put all your energy into the pot And shake it, shake it, shake it up, Mix it up Stir it up, Blend it up Living in concrete you get used to the noise, but you cannot retreat, you dont have a choice Living all alone, you get used to the quiet, but you must keep pushing on, continue to defy it We don’t keep nothin caged inside, we don’t got nothin here to hide, And when the push it comes to shove, we got to find a way to love We keep the blender going, we keep the blender going Living in these times, of chaos and disorder But we will not be stopped, by walls or bars or borders Living in this life, we wait with baited breath But you must keep pushing on, till ya got nothin left

Whisper Song 05:15
Sometimes sitting down is the best way to take a stand Sometimes standing still is the best way to move forward Sometimes laying low is the best way to fly And sometimes a whisper is the best way to cry Ooo I will whisper to you Sometimes you gotta be loud, when you wanna be heard Sometimes you gotta cry out, but sometimes you just gotta whisper When you can only speak soft, you must use your words wise And if you are not yelling, maybe someone will listen Sometimes laying low is the best way to fly And sometimes a whisper is the best way to cry

Don't Blame The Immigrant When you are strugglin, and you got nowhere to turn Your rage is bubblin, fire start to burn We all want someone to blame, we all want someone to goat But you see powers that be, want us at each others throat Dont blame the immigrant, When its your own government Dont blame the foreign man When the problems come from your own land Dont you blame your nextdoor neighbor Who just tryin to lend his labor Dont blame a powerless soul When its the people at the top you know They’re taking our jobs, ooo oo, but that just aint true They’re doing the work no one will do, and they’re not takin nothin’ ’away from you So dont ya blame the immigrant when its your own government Dont blame another color, cant you see that hes your brother Dont ya blame another religion there isn’t only one right vision Dont blame a country far away, when its your own dam CIA Dont blame the immigrant, when its your own government Dont blame a powerless soul, when it’s the people at the top you know Dont blame a foreign man, when you live on stolen land Dont scapegoat, dont resent, dont you blame the immigrant It really wont help your soul, It really wont ease your mind, it really wont get you far, we’ll all fall farther behind It really wont lift you up, it really wont set you free It really wont get you far...
