Shaun Michael Who is really living and who is really focused, is your mind gone, devoured by the locusts & shut down by the barriers & the close doors, all of the things that you hope for shame freedom was a thing they never really saw but if your human, just.

Shaun Michael Whats the difference between you & I, I? reach for the stars my head is at the bass of each guitar, i feel like a spaceship racing through the stars, i see the signs, Scorpio, Leo, Capricorn no answers, so no matter how they try to knock me down i keep on fighting, looking at the stars, above the horizens its all in time, it's all in your mind, right behind? The clogs of time. I set the level now lower the tone, patrons on the table, raise then glass pour the juice, its like Siera Leon, close to the top & were not even on. on. on. Shumba Youth Cmon & reach, reach for the stars, then you find out who you really are. Then you find out who you really are. I see nough, kids having babies, youths going crazy a lot of our peers are pushing up dasies, times getting wicked and the future is hazy even when this system seems to faze me, no time for stop, no time for lazy, each & every day life still amaze me, (life still amaze me) lift up your head its a bright day, no hot stepping we moving the right way, player haters don't you even try me the whole of them going on dirty sheisty, I just, dust, dust dust off my shoulders were just just stepping it bolder, we just don't care we straight & clear, moving yes we grooving elevate without a fear. Bridge, Reach out.. Shaun Michael This is the vibe we bring right around the entire world Reach out Yes Iyah you know seh we keep it bopping & a sway Shumba Youth Reach mek mi reach out woii, reach mek mi reach out there, Reach mek mi reach out there. woii, Reach out! Shaun Michael All i ever seem to talk about is stars, but they seem to inspire me, where im at right now its hard, but im the last of a dying breed i left the winter with a broken compass, but now the summer is mine navigation like Christopher Colobus, don't show no star signs im running from the hands of the time, but im a master mind of destination on the boat looking through the peep hole of my scope, looking at the stars my destination, I set the level, now lower your tone, patrons on the table, raise the glass & pour the juice, its like sierra leone, we close to the top & were not even on.

Shumba Youth My girl chill out, chill out, let your love spill out, spill out Then we elevate without a doubt Chill out, chill out, let your love spill out, spill out And then we elevate without a doubt. Shaun Michael If love is war then I'm all for the shoot out, bruise my body with the grazing bullet from your fire arm, send the troops out. Bid a war of injustice when we, disagree, we'll smile in the carnage we are a paradox, I'll harness your torso when you have them weak knees If sex is agony, then naturally pain is love. No promises or politics, just intertwine your thighs around my life, for the next twenty five. Shumba Youth My girl chill out, chill out, let your love spill out, spill out And then we elevate without a doubt. Chill out, chill out, let your love spill out, spill out. And then we elevate without a doubt. It's easy like one, two, three It's easy like doh reh mi So just chill out, let your love spill out, spill out, and then we elevate without a doubt In this frame of mind, I'm not dealing with mind games complex, simplicity we're thinking just the same Keep this synonymous, no need for a name. Then we moving as we groove down the lane. Shaun Michael You lost it, will you ever find it, See i cosign with your darkness, Lighten my eyes with, this sexy sidekick your vibe is eccentric, pretentious at times, it's lust but walls collide when you get violent. My girl chill out, chill out, let your love spill out, spill out And then we elevate without a doubt. Chill out, chill out, let your love spill out, spill out. And then we elevate without a doubt. It's easy like one, two, three Its easy like doh reh mi So just chill out, let your love spill out, spill out, and then we elevate without a doubt.

Shaun Michael I sinned again, the floor beneath my back The winning feeling isn't present, wishing i could be a passer by & cut my eye, like Help You, may just another time MP3's play with the he say and the she say & all i really need. Shumba Youth Just a little help I am needing, to stop my mind from leaving Just a little help I am needing, to stop my heart from bleeding. I'm pleading I'm pleading, I'm bleeding I'm bleeding Just a little help I am needing, to stop my mind from leaving. Shaun Michael It's the diamond life, i roll the dice, lucky 7's and it's broad way in the night life where the diamonds strain your eye site. Hold up I'm bleeding, i'm bleeding & i'm dreaming i'm dreaming Reality is to deceiving can you just help me It all remains the same, you can never win unless you play the game Champagne mixed with vibrant lights place a bet, all in tonight I'm just another Walter White, Imma take it all, take a risk for paradise, I just wanna live the life in paradise, uh. Shumba Youth Just a little help I am needing, to stop my mind from leaving Just a little help I am needing, to stop my heart from bleeding. I'm pleading I'm pleading, I'm bleeding I'm bleeding Just a little help I am needing, to stop my mind from leaving. You need to help me now, before I'm sinking too deep, I'm trying to reach the top of the clouds, but the mountains to steep Afraid to shut my eyes in case I permanently sleep. Eyes think as i think, Over think under think. Don't push me Don't push me, I'm right upon the brink I'm more than just a figure or a chain & a link A brother, or sister, it don't really matter, I'm dealing with reality not hype & chitter chatter.

Shaun Michael Its been emotional like the four seasons of a year, Rain, sunshine, cold hearts warm in the summer time the beauty of life, pain can't compare, to my despair, my mom told me i was bad like my uncle was the perfect pair, illustrious & lusting women with gun possession same obsession fast money my confession, from the grass seeds won't grow, but flown over by turtle doves. One day, my mother told me one day I'd be murdered just like my uncle was it's tough love, this is how we living.

In a fully pro recording studio, set up in a basement building in Berlin, Germany. Dennis Kuhn of NonPareil Studio is awake at 4 am, with his fingers burning on the strings of his Telecaster guitar; to build background music around the smooth vocals of Shumba Youth & harmonic vocals of Shaun Michael, this EP has been created with a blazing passion for music life & poetic forms of lyrics. We the Positive Vibes Crew have bought you an independent release, strictly from the influences of the African diaspora. We have fused together elements of Reggae, Rock, Dancehall, Hip Hop, RnB creating a new sound. We titled this EP ‘Around the World’ as it was created in view of the places we’ve been. UK, Poland, Italy, Spain, Ibiza, Germany, China, Jamaica, this is for you.
