Ketch A Vibe
J. Dexter

Waiting on an idea, trying to find some Inspiration/Wondering if it will appear, so I can write away/Does anybody here feel they need consultation/Take a piece of my advice and just feel/Ketch a vibe while the feelings live, don’t wanna lose it/Ketch a vibe while the feelings live, can’t afford to lose it/Ketch a vibe while the feelings live, don’t wanna lose it\You will know when the feelings right/Ketch a vibe, ketch a vibe

(chorus): Ketch a vibe while the feelings live, don’t wanna lose it (4x)

Lyrics flow like deep waters, rippling with emotion, I got a notion/Don’t undermine this feeling, it’s what I believe in/Cos it’s the love that I’m guilty of /When I float I sail like a ship on the ocean/When the tide is high my heart rides in motion
When the sea is calm I think of sweet melodies of Jupiter/Let my mind out with the breeze/Let my eyes see what I see/Let me ride, let me ride

(repeat chorus)

Pulling down my ideas, yes I’ve found my inspiration/Now it has appeared, I can write away /Does anybody reach that same destination/Vibes are what I feel

(repeat chorus)


Love
J. Dexter/James Collins

Got something on my mind, wanna share it with ya/Its like a rhyme that don’t rhyme/I get so confused, bemused by it/it’s been playing on mind, can I share it with ya/See the words don’t rhyme/I got a little concerned/I’ve been burned by it/From time to time, I get a little despondent/ I feel so sad, I feel so bad/I get so mad, sad mad/Then I’m glad/Got something on my mind, LOVE, want to share it with ya/It’s like a rhyme that don’t rhyme/I get a little confused/bemused by it

Guess you know by now what I’m speaking of/It’s supreme, affair, natural, despair/It’s a prayer, my prayer/Always in the air but hardly ever there/It’s the hottest thing to hold, can’t be so cold/bends and folds, not for sale but sometimes sold/not a tale but often told/I’m talking bout the hand I still have yet to hold/I wonder if the birds and bees got worries like these/I wonder if the branches make out with the leaves/I wonder if the breeze could kiss the ocean/Where’s the potion? What’s the motion/Got something on my mind/Wanna share it with ya/It’s like a rhyme that don’t rhyme/I get a little confused, I get a little bemused by it



Faith
J. Dexter

Got up one morning, said to myself gonna take a chance in life/booked myself a one way flight/ Didn’t really know what I was doing but somehow felt right, right, yeah/Got on the plane said goodbye to foggy weather but I knew it wouldn’t be forever/See the place where I was born is a part of what I have become/one English girl from Birmingham/Do you remember Hansworth Revolution?/Back to the story ‘xcuse me if I lost the plot momentarily/It’s just I felt the need and it was necessarily so/To tell you bout my roots and where I came from, my parents are Jamaican, that makes me West Indian/I can’t forget my mother more than provided, friends and family guided me yeah/I have to give props to my people deh ya Birmingham, not forgetting London/And those that said to me

(chorus): Gotta have a little faith/Cos fear only holds you back/If your hearts in the right place/Having faith will be a love that lasts (2x)

Had my reservations weighed against temptations/But the will was stronger for temptations over yonder/I had to put aside my gradual suicide, insecurities I had tried to hide/Now I’m step, step, stepping out with my pride, self belief’s the train I ride/And to my surprise those words that were wise/Led me to receive so much love/ATLiens, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia and then some/I thought the love I had was only home grown/I didn’t believe I could make it on my own

(repeat chorus)

At first I couldn’t believe it/While everyone else could see it/That I could make it happen/I didn’t believe I could make it happen/I never thought I had it in me/To be the person people said I’d be/Than I found out faith was the key

(repeat chorus)

Anything you wanna do/You can do it if you believe you can do it/Open up your heart and let faith be your friend/Wash your tears away and know that one day/You will find your pot of gold if it’s faith that you hold


How Can You Feel
J. Dexter

(chorus): How can you feel/When it ain’t real to you/ When it ain’t real to you/How can you feel

You ain’t never heard a woman cry/Til you heard her weep for the loss of her child/You ain’t never seen pain/Til you seen that woman with her face tear stained/You will never know poverty/Til you’re hungry and homeless on the street/You will never know sadness/Til you find Yourself/Searching for some happiness
(repeat chorus)

You will never walk alone/Unless it’s Him that you’re denying/You can’t be denying Him/You will never see the light if you give up the will for trying/You will never know madness/Til they lock you up in a cell/Fill you with pills/Tell you it’s good for your health

(repeat chorus)

They tell me about the blues/They tell m about the blues/Well I got news/I know the coo

(repeat chorus)


What Do I Do
J. Dexter

Staring at your face/You don’t say a word/Try to read your mind/But I don’t understand/Feelings have now surpassed/No longer make it last/What do I do about you

The smile you’re wearing now seems to sing a different song/A song that tells me what went wrong/You had a change of heart/told me you think we should part now/What do I do about you

I wish I knew what you were/Thinking back then/Was it your plan or was it how it was meant/That I would get a taste of a dream/And be left to sip on my memories/What do I do about you


That’s Livin
J. Dexter

We live our lives from day to day/Never knowing if we’ll find our way/In a world abused by guns and wars/Where the rich get richer the poor stay poor/That’s livin

We try to do our best in life/Having to endure the pain and the strife/Our suffering teaches us to be strong/So when weak we make do get by/That’s livin

The life we lead is tough/The road is rough/We must learn to survive/Keep our spirits high/Got to hang on/Keep holding on, on



Walk With Me
J. Dexter

(chorus): Will you walk, walk with me, take my hand/will you walk with me, would you mind?/ Will you walk, walk with me, take my hand/will you walk with me with your mind?

Appreciate the cause, luck don’t come to us all/Can’t base your life on the lottery/Cos good things don’t ever last/when they come to you too fast/Mind what you take for free/If an opportunity comes better take it/But don’t fake it, at your best you’ll make it/One step at a time, got to stay in line/Don’t forget to heed the sign

(repeat chorus)

If you trust and believe/He’ll show you how to receive/It’s all in the giving/And the rewards they are more/Than you could ever hope for/It’s about how ya livin’/He’ll be there to guide you through/Especially at those times/You feel your senses have left you/Don’t worry ‘bout a thing/I heard somebody sing everything’s gonna be alright, right

(bridge)

The Creator has a master plan/Didn’t ya Didn’t ya know


I Dream
J. Dexter

I dream/Of people having minds to see/what a beautiful place the world would be/If we’d just get along a little more easily/Tell you what I see/I see girls trapped in their envy/their waste their time being red eye, red eye after queens/They too could rise if they rid themselves of jealousy/Tell you what else I see/I see the one who takes pride in being a true man indeed/Whilst others cannot find the time to nurture the needs/Of generations that they breed/And what about greed, what about greed?/Greed will rob a man of all his true deeds/It’s knowing when it’s time to draw the line between/the want for more and what we need (2x)

Love, what we need/Can’t give enough, no/We gotta just open up our hearts/Try to get along together, It’s better/I know we all have different points of view/Don’t mean I cannot get down with you/Gotta get, get with it, live it/Some people say that I’m crazy to think that life/Could ever be so sweet for you and me

In my dreams/there were people wandering, wandering like me/What a wonderful place this world would be/For everyone of us, everyone of us you’d see/I breathe, I breathe/Rejoicing in the life I lead/Where there’s happiness I’m trying to be/A smile upon my face that’ll be me


How Long
J. Dexter

(chorus): Realize your hear for a reason/Put on this earth just like the Seasons/Many have gone before, many will Pass/How long does a lifetime last

I’ve been thinking/Bout this crazy world we’re livin in/Gotta be a reason/oh yes there has/To why we’re born and then we’re gone

(repeat chorus)

Do you know that life is just a moment/Something so precious/Shame you can’t hold it/If you had a second chance/Would you change a thing/Or would you live the same life again/Seems like I gotta get my life together/See I don’t know/When my time is gonna come/So much work to be done/Places I wanna see/Faces I wanna meet/Do ya feel the same (2x)

(repeat chorus)

Cos ya never know when you’re gonna go/So you better show what ya gotta show, yes you better/That’s why I’m gonna go where I’m gonna go cos I/Cos I never know when I’m gonna go, cos I never


Moving On
J. Dexter

Where is the love my people? Will we ever put an end to our Wars? Don’t you know our brothers here are dying more/Why must we keep on fighting? Together we are stringer than when we’re alone/Don’t you know our forefathers have shown

(chorus): We got to keep on moving on/Got to move on/Together as one/We’ve only just begun

Where is the peace we’re longing for? Is it just a lifetime’s fantasy? When will there ever be? What happened to our hopes and dreams can never let our aspirations die/Let’s make them reality

(repeat chorus)
