about

Produced in Brazil this song was for breaking down walls, borders, and powers that no longer serve us as the human collective. Spending a year in Brazil - opened my heart to many clarifying ways of togetherness and action - calling for truth and justice. I wanted to collaborate with the musical talent that pours from each corner of Brazil, spreading the good word coming from countries all around the world. Just as Reggae has done - spreading love and unity through music shows how much peoples proud cultures have to offer the U.S. AND as JUS-US attitude of Estados Unidos is facing a breakdown in the way we pursue equity and justice for ALL reliving history until we give light to it in order to avoid repeating the violence and become better humans.

This goes out to all the kings and queens of color who face police brutality and social disgrace - if we don't breakdown what we are fed from society, media and governments - we cannot reach our highest potential.

lyrics

Ready for the break down ready for the tower to come down
Ready for the break down ready for the tower to, come crashing down


Must get ready to expand
and relax and receive and repeat and
express what you need inside,
If it don’t feed ya, you gotta let it be.

I am human just like you and I hope that you find
some relief in my right to be breathing too,
I can feel it crawling under your veins
Chorus
Eō I’m ready for the breakdown
Eō I’m ready for the people to take back their crown


I am tired of all these people trying to tell me how to be
what to be I’ll take a knee, and now
this flag has been turned upside down
Bridge
Turtle Island cannot breathe
drowning in the sea, of bullets can you see
if we turn the cheek we will have nothing left to grieve
Humans walk the same up right
its not about nationality
if you need break down what you once believed

Chorus
Eō I’m ready for the break down
Eō I’m ready for the people to take back their crown


Mr. President don’t mean no disrespect, CEO’s,
corporate shows, police forcin’ Ah
Can you please can you please tone it down


Ready for the break down ready for the tower to come down
Ready for the break down ready for the tower to, come crashing down
