Rebelution - Count Me In Album Lyrics

---

Count Me In

Now I gotta make my rounds
Where can I lay you down?
I'm gonna miss your love tonight
You know I really love your sound
Where can I leave you now?
I'm gonna miss your love tonight

Well I say hey
Count me in
Always
That's all I wanted
Was to say
Always

Maybe in another life
You I tried to find
But all had been neglected
And you're so true to form
Nah you know I can't ignore
The way that we connected

De-Stress

Express to de-stress
I'm innocent
And I feel blessed
Now in effect
To unify, connect
Love the innovation
That I accept
And we let it run

Yeah, that's how we bring it
Now in effect through the chest when I sing it
I'm innocent but guilty when I kill it
Feel free to flee real fast when I feel it

[Chorus:]
And I might stress
Yes I might stress, too blessed to be stressed [x3]

When I say yeah all stay put
Put them back in their place now look
I got 'em locked with the sound just dropped
and I'm bringing it sick with a rhyme top notch

Aw yeah, that's how we're living
Express to de-stress when I'm in it

I'm mic blessed, never cursed trying to get it so
Express to de-stress when I feel it

Aw yeah, that's how we're living
Express to de-stress when I'm in it

I'm mic blessed, never cursed trying to get it so
I'm ready for the action
bring on the traction

Aw yeah, tell me how you're livin
De-stress
Come on let me get a sit in

When I'm low I put a spice in the rhythm
and I put a little sugar on the life that I'm livin

That's right I let my eyes shut light
Start bright to suddenly turn night
Good thing I got my voice on mics
In the zone trying to reach higher heights

[Chorus]

When I say yeah all stay put
Put them back in their place now look
I got 'em locked with the sound just dropped
and I'm bringing it sick with a rhyme top notch

Aw yeah, that's how we're living
Express to de-stress when I'm in it

I'm mic blessed, never cursed trying to get it so
Express to de-stress when I feel it

Aw yeah, that's how we're living
Express to de-stress when I'm in it

I'm mic blessed, never cursed trying to get it so
I'm ready for the action
bring on the traction

More Love

Because you're living an illusion
I can't wait till it hits ya
Recollection, your misconception
Obsessed, you say the green is success
Well material gain causes serious stress
More love
Because you're living an illusion
Wake up now yes you're living in confusion
You're not a scholar
You're a waste of a teacher
Preach the dollars
You're a waste of a preacher

Love
Come on, that's what we need
More love
That's what we need to succeed
Not dollars
Nah, not what we need
Let's give em love so the youth can achieve

Yep you gotta see clearer
Clear on up, stay up, and stay clear of
Go back to basics, look in the mirror
You're in a dream wake up and now gear up
Come on
Love, continually loving that's realer
Make up your mind and emerge as a leader
Now it connects, many many all feed off
Rise up above, cuz the youths they feed off love

---

Lost In Dreams

Can I connect? Can I?
Can I connect?
From the depths of my mind to my soul
Reconnect
In my dream you and I intersect
You bring affection, peace and respect
And when it ricochets yes it reflects
It's just another complex universe effect
Here marks the brand new intellect
To provoke deep thoughts and keep you and I connected

Seasons change but I stay the same
Time flies by well I'm still remaining
I think I'm trapped in a game
Well I don't know
Seasons change but we stay the same
Time flies by well we're still remaining
I think we're trapped in a maze
Well I don't know

Can I wake up?
Can I wake up?

As we lie asleep lost in dreams,
Feeling like we are being caught in between two worlds
Different
Two different places
One that's familiar
Others hard to explain but
We can pick on any theme
I can follow you and then well you can follow me
Fall from the clouds like the raindrops
Until we see the sunrise and our world stops
And our world stops

---

Fade Away

When all of this is said and done
You will be alone
Cuz I know this won't last forever
Here's a toast to your unknown
Mother of us all
You and I are one together

I know this won't last forever
But I wish this would last forever

Waking up to your eye
I don't have an answer
And so I think I know you better
Waking up to your eye
And multi-colored sunsets
You're the one who gives me shelter

I know this won't last forever
But I wish this would last forever

Keeping it calm
Until we all fade away and move on
Keeping it calm
Until we all fade away you live on

Hate To Be The One

I hate to be the one
Hate to be the one who has to tell ya
Hate to be the one
Hate to be the one who has to tell ya
Because you're in a war zone
Get out now you don't know
I hate to be the one
Hate to be the one
Hate to be the one who has to tell ya

Now let me tell you as a friend, my friend
I can see it happen all over again
Yeah let me tell you as a friend, my friend
There's a theme going on and it's a trend
Well take another look,
She's the type of crook
Call it kiss and run,
The most devious of looks,
And she don't really care
Take take and now she took
But the men still stare
And they're reaching for their books
So tell me why they say I'm better than the rest
She's a little beauty how much meaner can she get,
I love her pretty eyes and I'm chasing for the tail
Devil in the detail, you should let her sail

Oh never can I fail oh no
Why? Because she said I love you boy
And love will prevail
Nothing that can ever go wrong
So how can I mess up?
In every single way

Friend
Dollars not cents
Thousands gone, and now she's off again
Can you believe it my friend?
Flash, gone
Gone with the wind to the next top dog
Well come on I don't want to be alone
She says she loves me, that's how I know
Love grows you know
I swear on my soul
Well that's why I can never let her go

Notice Me

If I had you by my side,
Day and night
Years I've been waiting on you
Now I'm on the day you arrived
All aligned
Emotions always add up to
Don't wanna be lonely
Everybody's saying
I could never live that way
Don't wanna be alone
Me, Myself and I
Baby did you notice me?

Well tell me
Tell me what you're thinking
I was only hoping that you noticed
Well even just for a second
I was only hoping that you noticed me
Tell me what you're feeling
I was only hoping that you know this
Well even just for a second
I was only hoping that you noticed me

Now as the days pass by
I can't deny it
Caught up in corner of time
I gotta give you a sign
Get your attention
Can't get you off my mind
Don't wanna be lonely
Everybody's saying
I could never live that way
Don't wanna be alone
Me, Myself and I
Baby did you notice me?

Roots Reggae Music

We're grooving
Nothing like roots reggae music
Now turn it up I wanna lose it
Nothing like roots reggae music

Higher self-meditation
The music brings upon me
Mixed with the healing of the nation
Well now that's all I need
Cuz it's the perfect combination
We're moving at our own speed
We're talking higher concentration
So keep it moving with me
Yeah let me tell you now

We're grooving
Nothing like roots reggae music
Now turn it up I wanna lose it
Nothing like roots reggae music

We wanna move we wanna groove
We wanna move we wanna play it non-stop
We wanna move we wanna groove
We wanna move we wanna play it non-stop
Because you can't stop this feeling
You can't stop this groove
Can't stop this music
You can't kill this mood
Music in the message
The message in the music
Never leave sight
In the right time
It'll give light
Well let me tell you now

Counterfeit Love

Well alright

Speaking my mind [x2]

Your a counterfeit love stay away from me cause I don't trust you girl
Your a counterfeit lover say you love me, but I don't trust you no

I never thought it would end this way, whatever happened to my dream girl, whatever happened to your baby
I always say there's a way, but this time you changed it to my money, and you took my time, you took my heart and my soul my whole life

You're a counterfeit love stay away from me cause I don't trust you girl
You're a counterfeit lover you say you love me, but I don't trust you no
You're a counterfeit love stay back from me cause I don't trust you girl
You're a counterfeit lover you say you love me, but I don't trust you no

When I was a child I would dream, I dream for the day when I had money, I'd buy my baby all these little precious things just for me, but when dreams they become reality, she took me for my money, took me for my time, took me for my heart and my soul my whole life, I never thought I'd say it I can't live a lie, well I was wrong and now I got to say goodbye

You're a counterfeit love stay away from me cause I don't trust you girl
You're a counterfeit lover you say you love me, but I don't trust you no
You're a counterfeit love stay back from me cause I don't trust you girl
You're a counterfeit lover you say you love me, but I don't trust you no

Yeah well alriiiigggghhhhtt
Speaking my mind [x2]

You're a counterfeit love speaking my mind
You're a counterfeit lover speaking my mind
You're a counterfeit love stay away from me cause I don't trust you girl
You're a counterfeit lover you say you love me, but I don't trust you no
You're a counterfeit love...

Against The Grain

Look out, watch out
They come for trouble
You can't understand my struggle
So much to contain
Now it's me against the grain
So call me by my name
I rise up
People chat and say
Well yeah the haters gonna hate
Now it's me against the grain

Rise, rise
Come on and rise
Rise up to the top now
Try and never stop
Now rise

Look out, watch out
They're in for trouble
Yeah I power through my struggle
They say that I'm insane
Well it's me against the grain
They try and call me names
I rise up
Some people never change
Well I don't care for what they say
Now it's me against the grain

Rise, rise
Come on and rise
Rise up to the top now
Try and never stop
Now rise

To power through and through it's a constant struggle
But we got what takes to push on and survive
Through battles I remain
I rise up
Knowledge I retain
Well yeah they say I'm out the game
Now it's me against the grain

Invasion

Extermination
Conquest to kill all they believe in
New destination
Invasion of all they believe in
Eradication
Exterminate all they believe in
Annihilation
Invade their whole world and enslave them

Stripped of their culture
Forced to believe in
Convert the sinners
Change or get beaten
Goodbye to spirits
Accept new demons
No time for questions
Don't ask for reasons

Washed of their faith
Thrown in the fire
Deities replaced
New variations
Wisdom will change
Pure decimation
All for the sake of
Power
All in the name of
Greed
