Stop, Look, Listen

[Scratches: Dj Tiny Tim]

[Verse 1: Evita Koné]
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure
And one man’s stress is another man’s pleasure
Who am I to say which one of these men is lesser?
We pretend to crack the codes
But really we are all just guessers
That someone else’s greenery is alway greener than in reality
Have you looked up at the scenery
Sometimes that shit’s beyond belief
So take a deep breath
And you can save yourself a little grief
No worries comparison is only joy’s thief

[Chorus: Evita Koné & Imagine]
You stop, you look, you listen
What’s missing? It’s not so bad
Don’t be mad, it’s time for a new beginning

[Verse 2: Imagine]
Don't know which side of the coin will find me enjoyment
Because I'm at the point, need to let it out so I can finally be joyful
If my mind isn't open, I will so blindly be focused
Asked mother earth if she could write me a poem
A life to be told here, the liveliest moments
In a world of chaos we be fighting the omens
Uniting our forces, we be lighting the torches
Our goal is simple: to use all the words we have
Until the rhyming is over

[Chorus: Evita Koné & Imagine]
You stop, you look, you listen
What’s missing? It’s not so bad
Don’t be mad, it’s time for a new beginning
You stop (you stop), you look (you look)
You listen (you listen), what’s missing (what’s missing)
It’s not (it’s not), so bad (so bad)
Don’t be mad, it’s time for a new beginning

[Verse 3: Dr Koul]
Hate is a hot coal so don't hold a grudge
Your plate of revenge is cold and probably infected with bugs
Is it not so? You're seeking the perfect chill
Warm sun and a breeze, calm trees and a still sea over effort's hill
But you've got to build up your skill
And you've got to work on being humble
What is there when your thoughts distill
And you look into your heart and there's only jungle?
Put down the machete and gather the fruit of your labor and eat your fill
Come around when you're ready and open the gate and be friendly so we can build

[Chorus: Evita Koné & Imagine]
You stop (you stop), you look (you look)
You listen (you listen), what’s missing (what’s missing)
It’s not (it’s not), so bad (so bad)
Don’t be mad, it’s time for a new beginning
You stop (stop), you look (look)
What’s missing (missing), it’s not (not), so bad (bad)
It’s time for a new beginning
