No ohh oh ohh oh ohhh i'm not gonna waste my time I'm, taking back what's mine I don't need your boundaries of any kind, I'm not gonna waste my time.

People 05:37
People keep on polluting, we see the effects on the ground People keep on salluting, the powers holding them down People keep on dying, to fufil endless needs People keep on crying, out just for a feed People keep on cheating, and stealing from the ones that they love People keep on sinning, and praying for forgiveness above People keep on turning, their heads and walking away but people won’t you listen, to these words I have to say You can imprison my body, but you’ll never get my mind Oh no don’t you worry, because I have the time You can lock up my being, but you’ll never cage my soul Remember this face you seeing, and the words I tell People keep on spying unlawfully on the youth Whilst others keep on denying, all of this god damn truth People keep on hurting, just for a thrill so People won't you listen, to these words I have to spill You can imprison my body, but you’ll never get my mind Oh no don’t you worry, because I have the time You can lock up my being, but you’ll never cage my soul Remember this face you seeing, and the words I tell You can imprison my body, but you’ll never get my mind Oh no don’t you worry, because I have the time You can lock up my being, but you’ll never cage my soul Remember this face you seeing, and the words I tell

Woke up this morning, got outta bed Things weren't right, all in my head Went to the kitchen, poured a cup of tea Sat on the couch, and reflected on me You see things have been, down for a while now I dont know why, I dont know how But I don know, its time for a change Start living life, as a brand new day For life only comes once, You better make your minutes count For life only comes once and that is what its all about You better make your minutes count So i’m looking up, no longer down A smile on my face, forget that frown Life is sunny, and all is well When you live for heaven, forgetting bout hell For life only comes once, You better make your minutes count For life only comes once and that is what its all about You better make your minutes count For life only comes once, You better make your minutes count For life only comes once and that is what its all about You better make your minutes count

How many times must we wonder why How many times must the children cry Oh lord its time to end this prohibition See them children cry for them people die While our government turns a blind eye Oh lord, its time to end this prohibition Oh lord, time to end the prohibition See the answer lies in regulation You can tax supply, just end debating Oh lord, it’s time to end this prohibition See its time for correct education This plant wont hurt, it’ll heal our nation Oh lord, its time to end this prohibition Oh lord, time to end the prohibition See its time to legalise See its time to legalise Won't you open up your eyes and legalise See its time to legalise See its time to legalise Won't you open up your eyes and legalise

Sometimes 03:17
Sometimes I don't know where my heart belongs but it belongs to you Sometimes I don't see what you mean to me so I'll keep fighting on through La da da da da La da da da da La da da da da La da da da da Sometimes I can't decide if your by my side or if i'm loosing you Well I know, I gotta let my love show cause I want to fall in love with you La da da da da La da da da da La da da da da La da da da da Sometimes i'm too blind, i'm too blind to find the time, The time i need for you But if i could discover, the secrets your trying to uncover I'd only share them with you La da da da da La da da da da La da da da da La da da da da

Society, stay away from me I don't want your consumerism, just let me be I don't need your narcissism, I just wanna be free Society, get your hold off of me Society, is just run by fools Their living for a dollar, listen to another mans rules They won't take a second, to question what they're told Yeh society, has got its hold Now people live blind and people live ignorant but if you do not listen then you're just plain fucking deaf, well Society stay away from me Yeh society, get your hold off of me Society, doesn't care about the facts Those ignorant people, they just follow the pack They won't take a second, to question what they're told Yeh society has lost its hold Yeh society has lost its hold Yeh society has lost its hold ... on reality

Now you see, they’re trying to categorise me Oh as a bad man, for my actions I plead guilty For satisfaction They’re tryna charge me with excessive freedoms, What a joke so what I toke What a joke so what I smoke So call me a criminal, and call me a theif Call me a coward , I still do as I please You call it injustice, I call it plain wrong But i will keep on toking son, and thats the point of this prohibition song Now they say lock the rasta man up for ten years For growing mother nature he must pay with his tears Hes lost in blindness alone, stuck with his fears For growing mother nature son, they gave that poor man ten years So call me a criminal, and call me a theif Call me a coward I still do as I please You call it injustice, I call it plain wrong But i will keep on toking son, and thats the point of this prohibition song Now you see, my people we know freedom aint free and we aint free to grow so why bother me Maybe you should get to know, the hypocrisy That you were spoon fed by them you trust most, by them you trust most So call me a criminal, and call me a theif Call me a coward I still do as i please You call it injustice, I call it plain wrong But i will keep on toking son, and thats the point of this prohibition song

We’ve been fighting for so long now What seems an endless war We’ve been fighting for the herb now in all of its forms We’ve been fighting for our freedom For the truth and the right We’ve been fighting for the people Let them sleep comfy tonight You can’t stop world hunger, when your just waiting for a change And do you ever wonder, about them people in pain You can heal, house & feed, all with this plant So won't you legalise it, and that'll be the end of my rant We’ve been fighting against this policy For what seems like years We’ve been fighting all this nonsense and brainwashed fears We’ve been fighting against the liars and them hypocrits too We’ve been fighting against our government cause they just use you You can’t stop world hunger, when your just waiting for a change And do you ever wonder, about them people in pain You can heal, house & feed, all with this plant So won't you legalise it, and that'll be the end of my rant You can’t stop world hunger, when your just waiting for a change And do you ever wonder, about them people in pain You can heal, house & feed, all with this plant So won't you legalise it, and that'll be the end of my rant

about

Seeds of Change is a unique collection of Blues inspired Reggae and Roots tracks composed by Guthrie, and performed with the assistance of percussionist Maxx Carter, and bassist Jase Le Scelle.

Each track presents a personal comment on current socio-political issues for listener contemplation and to encourage societal change. We hope you enjoy this album and find yourself enlightened, empowered, as well as entertained.

A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to making this album possible, and to the listeners from whom I gain the inspiration to compose and live my dream.
