Assumptions by El Dub
My newest song ~Assumptions~ is based on the book "The Four Agreements" by don Miguel Ruiz.
Specifically the 3rd agreement "Don't make Assumptions".
What does it mean to not make assumptions?
"If we don't make assumptions, we can focus our attention on the truth, not on what we think is the truth. Then we see life the way it is, not the way we want to see it. When we don't believe our own assumptions, the power of our belief that we invested in them returns to us."
Big love out to Jamey Zeb Dekofsky of @tribalseeds for the Unbelievable drum tracks he laid down and Quinn Carson for laying down some AMAZING Trumpet and Trombone well as Lewis Richards of 17th Street Recording studios for recording and producing the track!!!

Lyrics
-Some people make assumptions
*Fore they even know your name
**They will find you guilty
***When someone else is to blame
-They try and change the rules yeah
*Though they don't even know your game
**I’d like to think I’m different
***But I know I’ve done the same, Yeah
BUP!!!
-We keep makin’ assumptions
*Yeah we keep makin’ assumptions
**We keep makin’ assumptions
***Yeah we keep makin’ assumptions
-You can't judge a book by its cover
*You can't judge someone by their color
**If all we do is fight scream and holler
***We can never get to know one another
-Everyone has got their cross to bare
*Every single person everywhere
**Before you judge someone and their affairs
***Walk a mile in their shoes so you can be aware, yeah
HERE WE GO!!!
-We keep makin’ assumptions
*Yeah we keep makin’ assumptions
**We keep makin’ assumptions
***Yeah we keep makin’ assumptions
-When I assume to know your mind
*And you presume that you know mine
**We can never see and we will never find
***That common ground where we align
Guitar solo into…
-We keep makin’ assumptions
*Yeah we keep makin’ assumptions
**We keep makin’ assumptions
***Yeah we keep makin’ assumptions
Guitar solo extended
-I’m makin’ assumptions
*I keep makin’ assumptions
**I’m makin’ assumptions
***I need to stop makin’ assumptions
