LYRICS
Hey old friend keep cool good friend freedom bar has the booze man blues
It’s nice to be nice go slow, yeah, cool
Friends today hey oh by the way our untouchable world’s got no spare
Think twice and be wise. The storm is over
Free your voice this day at hand of back for good yes we can
Angels on guard when hell come again
Angels, they think after death when hell come again
Angels, they’ll take the world when hell come again
BEHIND THE LYRICS:
Be Wise, Think Twice is the only track on Is What You Make It where I wrote the song on guitar and then recorded the basic tracks with vocals, bass, and drums. I took these mixes back to Ghana for the third and final recording session with Kofi Atentenben & the Warriors! Guitars were added back in Athens, Ga with producer Drew Vandenberg and in full spirit of collaboration, we presented the simple message of this song. It’s nice to be nice.
