lyrics

gotta get that ring ring ring
gonna get that ring ring ring
gonna get that ring ring ring
it aint no thing thing thing

Gotta her that ring,
you know how that go, i told you before how everything will just flow,
Matter of fact it's flowing as we speak,
It's been over 8 years but, it barely feels like 8 weeks,
That ring, merely a symbol, just a precious jewel and some metal round her finger,
And I'm hoping it'll bring her some comfort when she's feeling alone,
When I'm out and about just grinding stone,
Hittin pavement, music playing,
never straying,
My eyes been off the prize since the beginning
Now I'm Basement trimming, cause you know everybody's gotta make a living,
And god knows I ain't making a killin quite yet,
But I'm more than ready and willing to take that step

Chorus

Nothing fancy Just something big enough to remind her whence we find our home and,
That We lay our bones in the same place, night in and night out,
From morning till lights out,
She knows we need have no lingering doubts
Plus the taxes work out in our favor, I believe
Not to mention health insurance I'd receive,
Accidents are a natural occurrence after all,
Ain't enough Tylenol, or natural medicine for that matter,
To take care of the serious issues and the things that most matter,
To hell with all the chatter, about the size of the rock or the money that we got,
I mean we're in it for the long haul so why the hell not
get that ring

Chorus

She wants that ring, but she deserves it,
But more than that, she's more than worth it,
Stood by my side even when I was a slacker, and worthless,
And I know this, man
She's followed me back and forth between two countries, and
A man starts thinking about what life is worth once he gets to a certain age,
Once all that rage has evaporated, and what's left is a somewhat faded,
overstated version of his worst self, and she's still holding on,
with the stealth of a ninja, hoooeehh, she ain't going nowhere
and you ain't either and you know it
so just put the damn ring on her finger already and let her show it off, come on now!

Chorus

about

Rafa's One Man Band image

Rafa's One Man Band Berkeley

Travelling between Americana and Brazuka, Rafa's One Man Band is comprised of one man, and many layers. From driving funk rhythms, to string heavy pop anthems Rafa manages to walk a fine line between ego and soul, digital and analogue, musicality and production.
The resulting sound is at times so reminiscent of a full band, that Rafa himself forgets that he has no bandmates. ... more
