Yes, indedy sho-nuff needy
I got the feeling to stretch on out my children are cryin' my elders are dying. & me I'm relying on a check for rent if I gotta be broke then ain't no joke I'm moving to the country and buying some land And I'll be alright if I can rest at night knowing my children got land to stand on. Ache'n 4 acres plenty of acres money spent in rent ain't earning me cent. Ain't gettin no caddy, no Benz, no jeep. until I got some $ for some land to keep no more children crying instead they'll be running running free and wild in the heat of the sun. 'cause once I'm gone I wanna feel strong that my children will go on, family land and all sayin' I got some land to stand on no more ache'n 4 acres no beggin for leftovers got some space of my own I got grounds to raise on no more ache'n 4 acres no more giving to takers got some land to leave on! No more elders passin' without my kids askin' papa who's tombstones are those in the yard Family gotta stay close all of us gotta stay close Ache'n 4 acres 4 buildin' a nation. Ain't about depending on government spendin' especially when the government's got a plan of their own separate from me-separate from U separate from most-in sync with a few. Ache'n 4 acres plenty of acres my grandpappa had em all but he lost em & he sold em the cities were a growin' and grandpa's getting older little did he know that his land was valuable Got land to stand on then U can stand up! stand up for your rights as a woman, as a man man O' man my choices expand Ain't got me no money but I got me some land |

[Speech:]
Words are flying out Like endless rain into a paper cup They slither while they pass They slip away, across the universe Pools of sorrow, waves of joy Are driftin thorough my open mind Possessing and caressing me [Chorus:] Jai Guru-oooh, Deva, Ohmmmmmm Nothing's gonna change my world [x4] [Speech:] Images of broken light Which dance before me like a million eyes They call me on and on Across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind Inside a letter box They tumble blindly as they make their way Across the universe [Chorus] [Speech:] Sounds of laughter, shades of life Are ringing through my open ears Exciting and inviting me In-vi-ting Limitless undying love Which shines around me like a million suns It calls me on and on Across the universe [Chorus] |

[Speech:] Yeah? Yo we was talkin earlier and I was I was tellin you, I was talkin 'bout life And I.. I feel like life is really just like braided hair Cause it's, it's got like twists Y'know, you know about braidin? Heh Like twists you know, three strands twist together Ultimately you get to where you gonna get to, y'know [Verse 1:] From the same dirt, from the hills of my ancestors The naked rows and the fields where the pain festered I wonder where the hole came from In the deeps of my heart, make me yearn for the drum It's the same place where the cross is burned The same place where the loss was earned It's the place where the floss was yearned Gold teeth and bling ice on the rings baby sure [Chorus: Neneh Cherry + Speech] Yo we all got things that hangin about Things that make us cool, things that make us whack Things that make us mad Things we wish we never had... done But they're just the things that make us real Not the maps to guide where we go from here The road twists and braids like hair Until we all get there [Verse 2:] I like that I don't know some mysteries Ancient things and beginnings Excited 'bout the day when I don't have to hear all the theories My scalp needs some grease In the same place where the cross is burned The same place where the loss was earned The only way we all can learn Is if we have these brais with the twists and turns [Chorus] [Verse 3: Neneh Cherry] Walkin in the race of life, lookin for my own pace Not always wantin to, but I have to Sometimes feelin like I've bitten off much more than I can chew But the wind goes though my hair And lifts me up with ease, not a crease Hair full of grease, no weave embracin me It's you I see I am you and you are me I see, yeah [African chanting interlude] I am you and you are me I see, yeah [Speech: repeat to fade] We might survive as brothers yeah or perish here as fools Go place your bets; but don't bet too soon Yeah you might find me in another, feels like someone you once knew You know that face, yeah we all do |

Yo man, hit me with one of those funky bass lines
The sun take a bow for a day well lit Next act is night with an audience of brothers and sisters Havin' a celebration of sorts Meeting one another hoping soon to be lovers Sisters have always facsinated me The many shades, the many sizes and features Such a wide variety of African women Sometimes leaves me frustrated and speechless I try not to admire what I can't obtain or have Things beyond my reach don't exist to Speech Seeing how I'm a bit shorter than the average man I patiently wait for someone I can reach Many sisters don't understand my style I live my life in an outcast tribe A tribe that strives to see a brighter day I foresee that I'll walk with closed eyes until dawn Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Rejection is a fear of mine For one reason or another But I still asked for a date with this woman She said no I said oh I forgot there's a gap between the richer and the poorer folks Slowly all the shades sizes and features became less different And more the same Except a certain female with all new features But I knew not her name By this time the sun was preparing For another appearance the sky was pure red The night grabbed the moon and soon The darkness was almost dead The sky now is orange and the night has left the stage The curtains open wide and the bright sun yawns To signify a glorious bright new day The glorious day that I would meet Dawn, the natural dread also of the outcast tribe Knowledgeable enough to understand my style and we kiss In the name of rejection The sky looks at us and warmly smiles Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads The dreads symbolize the natural growth of not just the hair But also of the mind And also the bond that keeps us in love The struggle enhances that bond throughout time When I see her, I see life The vast scope of life in her eyes of no wrong Faith plays a big ass part I'm still kinda young but I feel I could really run with dawn Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads Dawn of the dreads |

Life is surrounded with so many insecurities back stabbin' is like breathing when in poverty. I try to make my sanity, with the insane God is secondary to most, when they scrap for money. But, then again money can cause even more death. when a African becomes a nigger step n fetch n all. I dare say when price is right U can buy us all. well not me, cuz I don't truly give a care about you. I'll move in poverty, in wealth but I'll surely move! Ain't syncopated with your beats or your wack grooves my break beat is to break away from yo thang All these things you put on me makes this brother sing... Chorus: I need some time to ease my mind. Mind & soul is even more important then body money can put my body in all exotic spaces meanwhile my mind & soul remotely dwells within that fine spot between all messed up & hell. And so I move on with confidence of harmony And do my thang to resist this wack society Cuz if you don't resist, & I mean consciously you'll fool your sub-conscious into accepting it. I ain't acceptin' it - I keep my focus I keep my focus - I ain't acceptin'it. Give me a face pencil to draw a smile on me. Answer my prayer to give my Earthly body inner peace Answer my prayer to give my Earthly body inner inner peace. Until that day upon which my souls released!

Grab the hook, grab the line
Grab the bait, grab the box and wait Tackle and shackle the topic the faculty has chosen Chosen by many, chosen by plenty, chosen by any man or woman who understand the topic that's known and [Go by the dock] flock and clock the topic as I drop my hook and get a bite The reason I'm fishin' 4 a new religion is my church makes me fall asleep They're praising a God that watches you weep and doesn't want you to do a damn thing about it When they want change the preacher says "shout it" Does shouting bring about change ? I doubt it All shouting does is make you lose your voice So on the dock I sit in silence staring at a sea that's full of violence Scared to put my line in that water coz it seems like there's no religion in there Naively so I give it another go Sitting in church hearing legitimate woes Pastor tells the lady it'll be alright Just pray so you can see the pearly gates so white The lady prays and prays and prays and prays and prays and prays and prays and prays...it's everlasting "There's nothing wrong with praying ?" It's what she's asking She's asking the Lord to let her cope so one day she can see the golden ropes What you pray for God will give to be able to cope in this world we live The word "cope" and the word "change" is directly opposite, not the same She should have been praying to change her woes but pastor said "Pray to cope with those" The government is happy with most baptist churches coz they don't do a damn thing to try to nurture brothers and sisters on a revolution Baptist teaches dying is the only solution Passiveness causes others to pass us by I throw my line till I've made my decision until then, I'm still fishin' 4 religion Fishin' 4 religion (11x) Fish [Believe !] [Everybody in the house tonight...C'mon let me hear you say] [Fishin' !] |

I doubt it All shouting does is make you lose your voice So on the dock I sit in silence staring at a sea that's full of violence Scared to put my line in that water coz it seems like there's no religion in there Naively so I give it another go Sitting in church hearing legitimate woes Pastor tells the lady it'll be alright Just pray so you can see the pearly gates so white The lady prays and prays and prays and prays and prays and prays and prays and prays...it's everlasting "There's nothing wrong with praying ?" It's what she's asking She's asking the Lord to let her cope so one day she can see the golden ropes What you pray for God will give to be able to cope in this world we live The word "cope" and the word "change" is directly opposite, not the same She should have been praying to change her woes but pastor said "Pray to cope with those" The government is happy with most baptist churches coz they don't do a damn thing to try to nurture brothers and sisters on a revolution Baptist teaches dying is the only solution Passiveness causes others to pass us by I throw my line till I've made my decision until then, I'm still fishin' 4 religion Fishin' 4 religion (11x) Fish [Believe !] [Everybody in the house tonight...C'mon let me hear you say] [Fishin' !] |

Taking a bath within the sun rays
Letting the aura of life soak me living in the country chickens, cows, all around me I'me bored I'll take a drive into the city limits yo life is just a secret recipe & I'm all up in it. Being the grand papa that I am one can forget it today I figure I deserve to swerve from my normal nerdy status that engulfs my time & that is just what I need so here it goes I suppose that it's on shake out my dreads with Aloe Vera it's rare a brother like me will agree with Taree, Kwesi, and go party with Baba But Yo I gotta be hip & dip within the Fountain of youth! the fountain of youth Once I learned to dip and got drenched I got drenched without the fear of drowning my ears can hear the sound and... my eyes are wide open O P E N and consciously aware of my surroundings. Wally I'm getting energy -golly gee as if I'm solar powered it seems like every now & then I skim on the edge of nuttiness letting the wind push and shove in my dreads as if it's an argument But really they're just snuggling for affection hair needs loving too, speaking of love the western civilization is on another tip to tell you the truth they need to dip into the fountain of youth! the fontain of youth Bopping my head is more that bopping it's a spiritual thing rhythms and lines space and time relative? yes I pump my sound loud so my people can hear it I hope the music soothes our spirits cuz it soothes me my foundation is strong but I allow some things to move me and that is energy from the fountain of youth. |

You can't be passive, gotta be active Can't go with what looks attractive Gotta learn all I can while I'm able Headliner expresses his feeling on those turntables When we get our chance to make a good living of the music we program We don't sell out just to be sold out Brothers and sisters, do you know what I'm yapping about ? Coz if they take away our contract we still got talent and we still got contacts Coz we're worked real hard to get this far We're catching the bus before we bought the car Ya see ! [CHORUS:] [Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever] (2x) Got to get political Political I gotta get Grown but can't hold my own So this government needs to be overthrown Brothers with the AKs and the 9 MMs need to learn how to correctly shoot'em Save those rounds for a revolution Poor whites and blacks bumrushing the system But I tell you: Ain't no room for gangstaz Coz ganstaz do dirty work and get pimped by mobsters Some fat Italian eating pasta 'n lobster Brothers getting jailed and mobsters own the coppers so you you want out of the ghetto First the political prisoners must be let go And you must let go of your power master You'll never get out without much discipline Raise your fist but also raise your children So when you die the movement moves on Coz with revolution, ain't no future in front o' y'all haha! Direct your anger, love Nothing's ever built on hate, instead love Love your life, tackle the government The spooks that break down the door are heaven sent and my phrase went... [CHORUS] (2x) Alright ! Rhythm makes you move your body, rhythm makes you move your mind Rhythm makes your elbows groove, rhythm makes that behind move Rhythm makes the people move, rhythm makes you want to move Rhythm makes your mind soothe, next stop is Jerusalem |

I’ve been lost in my own ways and I’m getting weary (How far is heaven)
And I know that I need to change my ways of living (How far is heaven) From church to Liquor store we search for healing Big crowded world filled with lonely humans I’m a M.C. battling with melody envy Cuz melodies the only thing that seems to sooth me So we rock organs adjust the B-3’s Have the folks clap to the rap taking it Back to the color - purple - church Where ladies shouting’ joy in the midst of hurt! Revolutionaries have a curled fist at first Then years pass and it turns to a clasp They ask in the midst of all God show me ways to resist the fall! Yes yes yawl Pressure pressure the whole under Can't stop the crime can't stop the killing Watch dem life dem ah keep going under Somebody lend ah hand we hafta save dem Roots and culture We have to teach dem Cause it ah the root of dem life Bigger bigger blessings they hope they receive them Pray for them every night I gotta change my ways I need you every day Don't wanna make no excuses My life is so confusing Way down deep inside I wanna tell ya what's on my mind so sick of tryin I'm dyin My heart hurts so I can't keep from cryin |

Another morning kneelin' at my altar
the day is faced with a bunch of grace on my case in this worldly rat race to keep the pace I depend on ancestors and God and by the way my real name is Todd. That's how my dead ancestors address me that is those that knew me as that. My African name hasn't been revealed yet. My knees don't mind the bendin' as long as the bending keeps me from bending or compromising my views and pride the inside world gets me prepared for the outside I can't wake up on the wrong side of the bed as long as my soul has been fine tuned and lubed and altars are cool for my inner urge to resume to the universe SMPTE tone or metronome. Kneelin at my altar (x3) in the morning time I got to kneel at my altar K N E E L I N at my altar Simply put one is naive if they believe that this system does not deceive its populous dropping us lies in a sack like a stork & there's stops that drop from Cali to NY. Images are burnt into our brain cells to the extent there's still fumes in a no smoking section of a room forces are tugging at you from both sides to be centered I pray and pour libation Oh from there it's diggity diggity done I've rinsed my senses & armor alled my armor instead of being grouchy I'm a natural charmer chilin' with our friends to relatively no end & oh my Lord I'm feelin' exuberated cool vibes & disciplined enough to go outside and don't you know it's gotta be like that, feeling dope |

Mr. Landlord step off my yard
Mr. Landlord I understand. You have a right to check out yo land cuz it's "yo land". My family told me you've been peekin in windos Forcing themto be a little scared keeping curtains closed. I protect my house but on tour I try to find a home where my people are secure, Your racist views are the views of your own But please don't let it enter my family zone. Just lettin' you know, I'm not a lil ole' colored boy That steps off the curb when you walk your walk So please don't mistake my kindness for blindness I've known yo game since Columbus came And if I woulda known how your neck was burnin' red. In your complex I wouldn't of been caught dead, So here's my message from me to you My space is off limits until we move! You understand that! Mr. Landlord step of my yard Mr. Landlord I have to question Do you expect me to chill while ou're bumrushin You thought we were the passive kind well yo're mistakin' You outta give nuff respect like I'm Jamaican The point is I feel you endanger my pride Your racist comments, yhour racist approach I aint with... It's bad enough there's kids in there that are strugglin Finding themselves with out you bringin' racism! Just to bring peace do I have to get a piece? And in the break of dawn I guess I'll pray 2 the east Cuz I'm not the one to get slapped on the cheek Without my fist curling up to hit you back in yo teeth! Yo (free yourself-free yourself-freedom) Is what we want not a fight Waving Confederate flags & gun toting' is your type You ever heard of Ogune, well soon his spell Will clear my brain while he clears where I dwell. I call on the natural forces that be.. To help to free me, to free me! Al-ya bolia bol-I YA Al-ya bolia bol-I YA A yaah ea yaah ea |
