about

A commentary on the neo-industrial military complex and the censoring of information.

lyrics

(Chorus):
They singing….
This one this one, only for eighteen and over (repeats)

(Verse):
So the president...take your resident
and then they talk about their war,
More people die and more people cry
but the government ignore,
So they bring their drones and then they drop their bombs
singing freedom was not their choice,
Then they give guns to the youth at home
and then they silence all their voice.

(Chorus):
They singing….
This one this one, only for eighteen and over (repeats)

(Verse):
You can’t hide the truth if it’s meant to be
revealed in the light,
And it's hard to see if you close your eyes
to the lies in plain sight,
Whether in a dream or when ya meditate
if ya ready it be unveiled,
So why then try to hide the truth
if it means people getting killed.

(Chorus):
They singing….
This one this one, only for eighteen and over (repeats)

about

Akasha Chicago, Illinois

The Akasha sound gives birth to an unmistakable variety of heavy, raw grooves reminiscent of The Skatalites, The Maytals, Heptones, Desmond Dekker and The Wailers.

"Akasha excels at conjuring up memories of reggae’s heyday, hewing close to its stylistic conventions while stretching out enough to incorporate many of its various strains and mutations."
– Time Out Chicago
