Lyrics
On a day sweetened by a breeze that enlightens us with prana
I wanna climb this earth to find a place where we will sing hosanna
hosanna, hosanna
I wanna climb this earth to sing hosanna
And in sweet meditation we will meet to dance in ultimate freedom
Floating in the universal ghee outside of Vishnu’s dream in Eden
In Zion, in Eden
We will meet to dance in ultimate freedom
In Eden, in Zion
We will meet to dance in ultimate freedom
And we will meet again my friend
In Zion, in Eden
And we will meet to dance again
In freedom, in freedom
In Zion, in Eden
We will meet again my friend

Lyrics:
Buttermilk biscuit, biscuit, biscuit
Buttermilk biscuit butter side down
Buttermilk biscuit, biscuit, biscuit
Buttermilk biscuit, fallen on the ground
6 in the mornin' and i'm up to make
buttermilk biscuits, biscuits, biscuits
tasting so good the whole plate your gonna lick it
pour buttermilk in the batter then mix it, mix it, mix it
if you prefer use a whisk and whisk it
got the chorizo gravy on deck to flip it, flip it, flip it
put me on the skillet and you know i'm gonna rip it
a tasket a tisket, a basket of biscuits
made a morning treat for my love and dropped it, dropped it, dropped it
butter side down
5 second rule, null and void when butters on the ground
buttermilk biscuit, butter side down

This EP is lovingly dedicated to Alphio, remembered by all of the SoundCloud community as Alpha Roots.
Alpha Roots brought the irie vibrations and had us all skanking on the regular. His positive lyrics and vocals raised the collective consciousness and his genre spanning tunes, inspired many to collaborate, and kept our creative fires burning. Alpha Roots was a loving soul that will always be remembered by our tight community. We keep the spirit of Alpha Roots alive each time we listen to his music.
Fun fact!
The original version of Hosanna evolved from Alpha Roots' version of buttermilk biscuits titled Binghi Biscuits. Binghi Biscuits is no longer on Alpha Roots' soundcloud page but I recently uploaded it, along with his full on reggae version, titled Roots Biscuits, here:
soundcloud.com/syncopater-raps/sets/alpha-roots-binghi-biscuits
I was so inspired by Alpha Roots' original Nyabinghi drumming I had to make another original song using the Binghi Biscuits drum stem that showed my great respect and love for Nyabinghi chants in Reggae Music.
You can listen to the original version of Hosanna with the Binghi Biscuits drumming foundation here:
soundcloud.com/couch-king-presents/alpha-roots-couch-king-russell
The original Hosanna became the most popular song on Couch King Presents' SoundCloud page and the only song the page to reach over 1 million plays.
For an unknown reason, I always felt a strong urge to make another version of Hosanna and once Alpha Roots passed away, the impetus became undeniable. I was called to ask Soundwanderer, a regular collaborator with Alpha Roots, to lay a new musical foundation over the Binghi Biscuits rhythm. After Soundwanderer dropped the mad flavor with a truly heartfelt and touching musical performance, I asked Janine Levinson to compliment my newly recorded vocals to really make this dedication to Alphio super special. Russ, who also collaborated with Alphio, was the obvious choice to mix and master the track and really bring Alpha Roots' sprit back to life. I did my best to regularly ask Alphio what he wanted with this remake of Hosanna and I feel the song turned out as he would have liked it.
Huge thanks to Wou-Wou & the Wormling for blessing this song with his beautiful artwork. Wou-Wou listened to the song and was inspired to draw this picture of Jah Lion being hugged by a young spirit; which reminded Russ of this picture of Alpha Roots:
