Lead singers Jacob Hemphill (vocals, guitar) and Bob Jefferson (bass) met in first grade in Virginia, shortly after Jacob had returned from living in Africa with his family. The two instantly became best friends, and in middle school found a common love for hip hop and rock music. Throughout middle and high school, they met Patrick O’Shea (keyboards), Ryan Berty (drums), and Ken Brownell (percussion) – who would later form SOJA. During this period, reggae music was becoming an addiction for the budding musicians.

FC I never really got why we're here DmBb Just look at all we build in our lives and we all disappear GmF Few of us are born with so much CC While most of us just chasing down a dream that we just can't touch FC So why we try so hard in this place DmBb When pain and suffering is a guarantee and happiness is a phase GmF I wonder if one day we're at peace CC Or will this whole world just become like the middle east
CDm But when I was younger when I was younger BbF I had the answers I've got to say CDm But all of my answers now that I'm older BbF Turned into questions in front of me
FC I wonder where we go when we die DmBb If there is anything past our lost sun and our sky GmF Cuz airports only take us so high CC Is it hidden in the stars What's the answer to your soul lying FC I wonder do we get to come back DmBb I wonder if I will remember these questions I've asked GmF Will I just star over again CC I hope it's not too hard to find all of my old friends
CDm But when we were younger when we were younger BbF I had the answers I've got to say CDm But all of my answers now that I'm older BbF Turned into questions in front of me x
FC I wonder if we get one true love DmBb Or maybe there's a few out there or maybe not even one GmF I wonder if it's made up by man CC I wonder if love is what we make with our own two hands FC I wonder why I write all these songs DmBb I wonder if you know what you're saying when you sing along GmF And will you know my name when I'm gone C Or are you just too sick of these love songs
CDm But when we were younger when we were younger BbF I had the answers I've got to say CDm But all of my answers now that I'm older BbF Turned into questions in front of me x
CDm Right in front of me in front of me BbF Everythings changes in front of me
