It takes courage Facing the unknown That natural flow Life isn't set in stone There's a force we keep fighting Our hearts keep telling us something We trap our minds behind our fears What could've been had we let ourselves go It's not That you're Giving up It's just Time to Try another path Empty Your mind Let yourself go Be formless Be Water Be Water When life seems out of control Be Water Empty your mind - set free your soul We spend our lives Overthinking Instead we should be Living, Feeling It's not that you're giving up There has to be a better path So start living A rigid mind won't help us grow An openness will help our soul Shed those Self doubts Start living...live today Be Water When life seems out of control Be Water Empty your mind - set free your soul Be water my friend just let go Empty your mind Strengthen your soul Empty your mind Strengthen FREE YOUR SOUL
3.	Embrace It All 02:56	lyrics	buy track
Just a little kid on the corner wide eyed, Watching all these dudes on skateboards fly by Little did I know this would become my life. Now a grown man with a daughter by my side On my record player flipping 45's Little did I know this would become my life. Little did I know what I... Little did I know what I... Little did I know what I had in store. Life you just never know What's in store and where you'll go Twists and turns along the road Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh... Embrace it all Fresh new AC/DC tape in my hand Pakistani kid falling in love with bands Little did I know this would become my life. She walks around singing words to songs The same songs got me through life all along Little did I know this would become my life. Little did I know what I... Little did I know what I... Little did I know what I had in store. Life you just never know What's in store and where you'll go Twists and turns along the road Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh... Embrace it all The good, the bad, the ugly Through it all it helped define me Don't shy away Embrace it all Life you just never know What's in store and where you'll go Twists and turns along the road Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh... Embrace it all

about

The summer of 2016 King Ly Chee is heading to the US for the very first time in their 17 year career to open Sick of it All's 30 year anniversary east coast dates. It was probably this occsasion the importance of a band from Hong Kong being invited out that inspired King Ly Chee to look at ways to represent Hong Kong when out there.

INTRO
Inspired and energized by the idea of representing Hong Kong we got together with a Hong Kong hip-hop legend Mastamic to create music that would help set the stage letting people know that a band from Hong Kong has arrived and about to show you how we do this. Hearing Bruce Lee's voice - THE hero of Hong Kong - fills us up with immense pride.

BE WATER
Inspired by a true Hong Kong legend Bruce Lee and his philosophy of being like water...especially when things don't go your way, be like water and go with the flow. Or the idea of how we spend so much time and effort overthinking something, when we should just go out and try and see what happens.

EMBRACE IT ALL
King Ly Chee tipping their hat to the world of punk rock that set the stage for hardcore as we know it. Lyrical content is pretty clear...just a song about embracing everything in life - the good, the bad, the ugly...chronicling our lives as young kids first getting into music, into grown ass adults raising our own kids!
