Jook The First Joining RisingSons Independent
This one has been in discussion for a long time now. It takes a few things for us to consider before jumping you into the RSI Ohana, and Jook The First is someone that has all the qualities that we look for in an artist. We were saving this announcement for the very right moment, and two weeks out from LA Got Aloha, with Jook on the lineup, the timing couldn’t be any better. If you thought that’s all we had up our sleeves the man is dropping a new track to go with the announcement. So get your tickets to LA Got Aloha on August 10th and listen to Jook The First’s brand new track, “Sally Rose”:
Lyrics
Vs1.
It’s the J double-O K coming at ya!
All the way live and international (yeah)
Not yet but I will, go ahead you can mark my words
On the verge of a nervous breakdown,
I found inspiration by the curb in H-Town
I laid down. Had to catch my breath
I’ve been running for a minute, need to get my rest.
Underneath a tree breathing heavily
While the breeze penetrates the leaves.
I considered it fate,
nappy headed little girl with some dirt on her face
I watched her play
For just a couple of minutes, my head was spinning
Going nuts, out of control, my heart was torn
Like the seams on her clothes
Man I thought I had it bad until I met Sally Rose
Hook
People come and, then they go
If you love yours better let them know
It’s hard to find love in a world so cold
People come and, then they go
If you love yours better let them know
Because you never know when it’s time to go
Vs2.
Poor little Sally she was 8 years old
Dad’s a truck driver so he’s hardly at home
And momma’s poppin’ pills in the kitchen
Addicted to the high, couldn’t care about living
And big brother’s overseas, he’s overseas now
Special forces, forever at ease
KIA, day by day little Sally prays
Asking God to bring her brother home
So every day around 3 o’clock
She comes to this spot beneath the tree ’cause
Across the street is her brother’s shop
The sign out front reads “The Music Stop”
There’s 50 candles by the front door
And even more in the back now
Little Sally took some chalk to the ground
“Rest in Peace brother Jack, best musician around”
Hook
People come and, then they go
If you love yours better let them know
It’s hard to find love in a world so cold
People come and, then they go
If you love yours you better hold them close
Because you never know when it’s time to go.
