Victor Wooten [기타]

Yo Victa
Yeah JD
If you don't do nothing else...groove

Yeah
I think its about that time baby

My Name is Victa, and I'm a winner and I know what I'm talkin' about
And just 'cause I come out on top don't mean I'm leaving you out
Yes I'm a trickster but not a sinner and you may not agree
Before you start to criticize, are U talkin' 'bout you or me?

Cause I'm your brother, your friend, I'm so much a part of you
To be the Victa deal with who U are before you worry 'bout what to do
I'm right here wich ya not against ya it may, look like deceit
But i'm always on your side even when we compete

Winnings not always the answer
All you have to do it play
When you understand the message
Then you have to right to say...

Ah my name is Victa, and I'm so finger funkin' good
You can never wash off this funky groove even if you could
My name is Victa and ah I encourage you to learn how he plays
Cause in practice there is a perfection
Now, tell 'em what I say

My name is...

And, ah, for all you players out there
I want you to pull up a chair and sit down somewhere

My Name is... I ain't gonna say it. It's already on your mind
Some may call it bragging but I ain't got the time
I'm coming to get cha, thats right, look out
I'm sneaking up from behind, I'm sneaking up from behind you

Don't worry, just a little bit more to say
I might wait 'till tomorrow it ain't gotta be today
I'm gonna tell my story, I don't know where to begin
The one thing that I know for sure; The Victa always wins

Ain't no worry in tomorrow
you just take care of today
When theres nothing left to borrow
Then you have the right to say

My name is Victa, and I'm playing like a player plays
(Yeah, set if off, baby)
My Name is Victa, and I'm playing like a player plays
My name is...

Ah the name is Bootsy baby,
Yeah just put your hands right here,
While I whisper in your ear.
And, ah, just in case you didnt' know,
I'm hear to tell you so.
Let me hear you say "Play Victa play" come on, come on, come on,

Ah My Name is Victa, and I'm so finger funkin' good
You can never wash off this funky groove even if you could.
My name is Victa and ah I encourage you to learn how he plays
Cause in practice there is a perfection.
Now, tell 'em what I say
My name is...

Oh yeah bobble, bootrapafella here
For the all the encouraging minds that need to know
We're bringing you the real deal and not the deal dow
Yeah

Galactic Osalation
Paranormal Observations baby
Miscalculated Calculations
Hey Victor its obvious they're not paying attention
We'll see em on the back side
Here on the lowdown of things

Yeah, I mean, I know. It's a scary thought though. Well not really scary but sometimes
Something that's mind opening can appear scary.
I don't know, I just think we should all just sit down and think, even if we just think just
A little bit, um, the answers will probably all show up.

(Where would u lead them? Think about that. If the whole world decided to follow U.)

Yeah, absolutely. But before we can think about leading anybody, I think we should think about where we're leading ourselves. (Think about that.)

No, I know what u mean. It's not a job I would want, trying to lead anybody. I mean, I have trouble leading myself. (Where would u lead them?)

But if I had to lead anybody anywhere I think I would, I'd probably just try to lead them back to themselves.
Yeah, because, the self is not a place that u can lead anyone. Everybody would have to find their own way, and then the leading job would be over for me. I like that.

Yeah, but when we're first born, u know, we're our own person but soon after, u know, when we start to learn and we learn from our parents and we start to go to school, we really, quickly start to get away from ourselves.

I mean, u can't really go through any structured teaching, uh, learning establishment with your own ideas. U know, u're always taught to fit in. But what are we fitting into?
U know, don't color outside the lines. Who drew the lines in the first place. I don't know
(Think about that!)

Right. That makes sense. Yeah, but I've spent my whole life trying to be in control of myself. But I dislike any one or any situation that tries to control me.
So, check this out. My trying to control myself just causes me to dislike myself. I'm finally understanding it.
I should just let me be. That's what I ask everybody else to do.

Right, yeah exactly, yeah, the act of trying to control something usually means that there's something wrong with it, and so that means we have to control it obviously.
To control something usually means taking its freedom away. So why would I spend a life fighting for freedom, just so I can take it away. Um, In the name of control.

(If the whole world decided today, to follow u. where would u lead them? Think about that)

Vibrations? Yeah, it's actually pretty simple. The thing is nothing ever stops vibrating.
Scientists know that, I mean they'll tell u that everything is a vibration. Right, yeah.
I mean, things vibrate faster they may appear as light, slower it may appear as something solid or something like that. But even thoughts are vibrations.

But the key here is that nothing ever stops vibrating, ever.
So check it out. Everything that ever vibrated is still vibrating. Everything that ever was still is. That's cool.

Yeah, me too. It's really makes me want to pay attention to the vibrations that I'm putting out there.
"Cause do they ever go away? (Think about that!)

(If the whole world decided to follow u?)

OK, Yeah, It's been fun.

(?Where would u lead them?)

I love u too, Bye Bye

The loneliest Monk
Walks the street at night

The loneliest Monk

Play the wrong notes right
The loneliest Monk

The loneliest Monk
Wasn't short wasn't tall

The loneliest Monk
Wasn't lonely at all

The loneliest Monk
Round and round at his place

The loneliest Monk
Flawless living bitter taste

The loneliest Monk
Keeps his checks to himself

The loneliest Monk
Tter memories in a shelf

The loneliest Monk
Used chopsticks to eat ice cream
Saws the things that go unseen
Knows exactly what i mean

The loneliest Monk
Never renatured form his rent

The loneliest Monk
Never cared that he was strange

The loneliest Monk
Made the most of what he got

The loneliest Monk
He chased the straight line not

The loneliest Monk
Knew the rules but kept them bent

The loneliest Monk
He never tells but here's a hint

The loneliest Monk
Spends on solid trampoline
Brushes his teeth with gasoline
Knows exactly what I mean

The loneliest Monk
He is the holder of the key

The loneliest Monk
He is a mentor to be

The loneliest Monk

There's a little place I know
A secret place I like to go
Let me take U there

Send me 'round to the backdoor
Front wont let me in
It's hard to keep being peacefull
When these kind of days don't end

Things will get better tomorrow
At least that's what they say
When I wake up in the morning
It still looks like today

If I could fly away
I'd fly into the sky
No one to ask me why
I would be so free
Just carry me away

But on second thought...

I guess I'll stay
Help you find a better way
No vacation no holiday
I guess I'll do that another day

Can't get in through the front door
Send me 'round the back
It's hard to keep being peacefull
Stuff goin' on like that

I aint got no one to talk to
Talking just to me
I'll see you in the future
I don't know where I'll be

I guess I'll stay
A few more games I wanna play
A few more things I wanna say
A few more bills I have to pay

Walking down the street
People that I see
Turn around and walk the other way.

I don't want no trouble
Stay in my own little bubble
That's a game I don't wanna play.

U can call me what u want.
I don't even know your name.
But Oooo my dear
Won't u hear me loud and clear?
I love u. I love u just the same.

(Chorus) I'm just singing my song
Hoping we get along, someday.
(Can't we get along, just get along?)
Then we all will be free.
U be u I'll be me, OK?

One says to the other
That u're my brother
Just as long as u look like me.

It would be a little better
If we all would sing together,
Harmonize in the same key.

The day is coming soon,
The day we will all understand.
But until we do, I will keep loving u
And then I'll see u in another land.

(Chorus)

Walking down the street one day
Everybody looked at me and turned the other way.
Tell me what did I do? What did I say?
What, is my hair too long? Did I do something too wrong? Do u not like my song?

I know I sing out of tune. I can auto fix it real soon.
I'm just a bass player not a singer. Not a talker just a thinker.
I guess I'll think for 2 beats.
1, 2 that was fun. Now I'm done.

Why u have to call me that name?
Can't u see that we're all the same?
Well if u can't see it who's the blame?

Just because I'm darker and u're lighter
Doesn't make me wronger and u righter.
Sometimes I laugh and I don't know why for
But I know I don't wanna cry no more.

Uh Oh. Gotta go. Somebody's knocking at my door.
And it's time that we all get along
'Cause I'm tired of singing this song!

(Chorus)

Come on in and take a seat, hear what I have to tell.
About a pretty little lady, she's my girl.
All the men adore her and with me that is OK.
'Cause if u look u'll see she still with me at the end of each day.

(Chorus) Everybody wants my pretty little lady.
Everybody wants my pretty little girl.
Everybody wants my pretty little lady.
Everybody wants my pretty little girl.

Pretty little lady's gonna come see me at noon.
I've got to wake up early just to make sure I'm in tune.
All the men, they try to win just like it is a game.
"But let me tell u Rover the game is over. What's my name? VICTOR"

(Chorus)

She loves me. I know this.
She doesn't have to tell me so.
She thrills me with one kiss.
And when u see her u will know?

(Chorus),
Bass solo,
Instrumental bridge,
(Chorus)

Come on in and take a seat, hear what I have to tell.
About a pretty little lady, she's my girl.
All the men adore her and with me that is OK.
'Cause if u look u'll see she still with me at the end of each day.

(Chorus) Everybody wants my pretty little lady.
Everybody wants my pretty little girl.
Everybody wants my pretty little lady.
Everybody wants my pretty little girl.

Pretty little lady's gonna come see me at noon.
I've got to wake up early just to make sure I'm in tune.
All the men, they try to win just like it is a game.
"But let me tell u Rover the game is over. What's my name? VICTOR"

(Chorus)

She loves me. I know this.
She doesn't have to tell me so.

And when u see her u will know?

(Chorus)

I remember back years ago I lived my life without too many cares,
Y'all
And the truth of mine so hard to find was hidden there between
So many lies
As the shadows roll across my face the light appears and show
Another side now
Things I shoul know, no one told me, now I must go and I'm
Begging U tonight...

Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on
This journey
Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U
Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please
Say a prayer for me
Say a prayer for me and I'll say a prayer for U

Now I lay myself down to sleep I pray my Lord will send me
Someone to greet me
As the light appears it seems so clear the things I didn't
Understand before
Now I'm looking over all my years I see now who the angel was
Beside me
If I hurt U please forgive me. I still need U and I'm begging U
Tonight...

Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on
This journey
Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U
Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please
Say a prayer for me
Say a prayer for me and I'll say a prayer for U

Everybody needs a prayer sometimes something to know that U care
When I'm
Searching so long and hard to find a little bit of piece of
Mind
On my knees asking please, will U say a prayer for me?
Ask and U shall receive. It's hard to live in times like these
Fulfilling prophecies, over seas they're living with tragedies
It's hard to know what to do, say a prayer for me I'll play my
Prayer for U

Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on
This journey
Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U
Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please
Say a prayer for me
Say a prayer for me and I'll say a prayer for U

U are me and I am U.
I love u for who u are not what u do.
U are pure down to the core.
I know that u're still what u were before.

Do trust but not for show.
U will only believe what u don't know.
Don't try. Just allow.
Open up to love, baby, it will show u how.

(Chorus) I am your brother. U are my son.
We are your sister and the journey's almost done.
And u've heard it time and time again so tell me wont u listen then.
It's true when I say we all are one.

All is love so do not fear.
Your attachment to illusion is what keeps u here.
Do bless all that is wrong.
That is what allows u to sing your song.

True thoughts from what u feel.
Won't u open up your heart to what is real?
I AM and u are too.
If u will just choose me, I choose u.

(Chorus)

Just do it
Just do it
Heeeyyyy
Just do it
Heeeyyyy

Once upon a time there were some relatives of yours and mine
The ancient ones that came before
We've done our best to lay them all to rest
It's hard to find them anymore (now that's for sure)
But sometimes when I close my eyes
I see that they're all still alive
There're living way down deep inside our hearts
Just talkin' to ya, livin' through ya
Trying to get us all to do our part
(So, when we gonna start?)

Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
just do it like the natives do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view

I think I'll take a walkabout before the calendar run's out
A vision quest to open up our minds
The spirits keep in touch with me
To let me know we're running out of time (yours and mine)
We all say that we're in tune but still we stay bed 'till noon
With all we see we still don't do enough
Two buildings fall. we're still in bed asleep
What does it take to wake us up? (I don't know)

Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
Just do it like the natives do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
We do, we do

Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
Just do it like the natives do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
We do, we do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
Just do it like the natives do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
We do, we do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
Just do it like the natives do
Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view
We do, we do
