You can't know how good the vibe is unless you hear it. Im all about the music. Constructive criticism is welcomed. Im always down for making the sound better.

Started out playing rhythm guitar in New York for the reggae group Lion Force in the early 80s. Toured the US extensively for 7 years doing gigs in various cities and colleges.The band lasted until the beginning of the 90s. After the break up I turned to production which I continue to do now on a daily basis.

Story behind the song

How the hypocrites hold us back, pretending to be your friend when in reality they are your worst enemies

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Sons of Satan here they come again 
They are trying to keep us down 
So we extend in every way we can
They dont show us no appreciation 
And if you want to know what's true
You've got to give some for us to move on through
Chorus:
You old hypocrites and parasites 
I know you want to hear me cry 
Old hypocrites and parasites 
I know you want to see me die.
Verse 2:
Oh yes I do remember you 
You are the ones that were untrue 
So don't pretend to be my friend 
This is for those who endure to the end
Chorus:
You old hypocrites and parasites 
I know you want to hear me cry
Old hypocrites and parasites 
I know you want to see me die
Verse 3:
Why it is in everything we do
Our blood must run first for things to come through.
I'm not a living sacrifice for you
Jesus Christ already did that for me and for you
Chorus:
Hypocrites and parasites 
I know you want to hear me cry
Old hypocrites and parasites
I know you want to see me die
Verse 4:
Here I am doing everything for you
And you dont want to see me come through.
Remember what is here today
May not be here tomorrow 
I am telling you, over and over
Chorus:
You old hypocrites and parasites 
I know you want to hear me cry
Old hypocrites and parasites 
I know you want to see me die
Ad Lib:
What is in the darkness must come out to light.
You hypocrites and parasites
