This is the story of Creation and a history of Man
Passed down through generations now we hand it down again
I could tell the truth or I could tell you a lie
Truth is honesty gonna wring the water from your eye
You'd think it would be simple but soon enough you will learn
Nothings ever simple all that's cut and dried will burn
Born into hunger and the lucky found a meal
All were born stark naked, some are naked still
Dusty sky will settle to the earth
The rain will fall and offer us rebirth
Our bodies lie entangled like the roots
Of the saplings that our grandfathers grew
Roots go deep listen the beat
Weave these threads of history
Listen the sound, bass gun ya down
This roots future digital

Elegua, Shango, Shango, Shango,
Yemeja, San Isidro
Santa Cecilia, Santa Cecilia,
Nyame
Aqui the key given to me given to we Elegua set us free
Ahora si tengo la llave, la llave; ahora, aqui
What I mean to say, right here, right now, the key hidden deep in this sound
Ahora si tengo la llave, la llave

Depth and Day
06:38
|

|
Depth of the darkness surrounding my soul
Is only as deep as the river is low
Depth of the darkness around us all
Can always be lit by the firefly's glow
Day turns to night, and the night turns to day
Death turns to life, and the life slowly fades

Your Voice brings the sunshine, your voice brings the rain
Your voice brings me joy, your voice brings me pain
There'll be crying at the birth, and there'll be laughing at the wake
For every candle lit, there comes a shadow much the same
You can choose your road, but not the path that it will take
Pushing that samsara life to life and name to name
Some are still in slumber, we are dreaming this awake
Your voice brings the sunshine

Paint the Sky
08:26

|
The clouds form
the clouds break
The rain falls
The sun paints patterns in the sky
To apologize for its mistake
Pick me a mango from the mango tree
Enough mangos here for you and me

Hanuman Theme

Breathe deep with me all my family
This is the moment for each one to lead
Coconut wireless, collective consciousness
Love's constant climax is why we exist
Love is the force that gave each of us our lives
Looking around all I see are allies
What was underground is now bubbling up
its the crude truth they can't keep on barreling up
Miss Emma Goldman dontcha worry bout we
Our revolution got dancing feet
Bust a new move pon an ancient beat
Evolve as our world revolves at greater speed
Ancestors and generations to come
Speak through the drum, as we facing up to the gun
Power comes through us as we realize
We're warriors born at the turn of the tide
Wake with my doubt and learn to shake it out
Jumping from waterfalls faith in the falling y'all
Lookin at our world with truth in our eyes
Dance while we fight and we laugh while we cry
Miss Emma Goldman dontcha worry bout we
Our revolution got dancing feet
Bust a new move pon an ancient beat
Evolve as our world revolves at greater speed
occupy was our society's awkward first stage of puberty
for society to reach maturity
seems a revolution is necessary
And the time is up soon, fact time is now
Systems are crumbling we're breaking them down
Mushroom in my mind is here to remind me
of work to be done, battle songs to be sung
Fighting mentalities with the logic of love
Miss Emma Goldman dontcha worry bout we
Our revolution got dancing feet
Bust a new move pon an ancient beat
Evolve as our world revolves at greater speed

Like the man said, if this club is the kinda place
That'd take someone like me
Then its probably not the kind of place
I really want to be
If I'm just here cause I got a lil bit of money in my pocket
Then Fuck it, its not something I need
Goddamn girl, your ass so fine
But ya want me to pay to make it mine
Goddamn man, the music's so tight
But it don't feel right lit so neon bright
Sittin at the bar she leans over the counter
To show off her pussy
And brother believe that it sure looked alright to me
Daydreaming about the night and living up a dream
But that Mickey Mouse a hustler man
I don't buy my smack from Disney...
Goddamn girl, your ass so fine
But ya want me to pay to make it mine
Goddamn man, the music's so tight
But it don't feel right lit so neon bright

New Souls
04:17
|

|
Old souls abandon the places they rest their heads
To seek out a way out of their bodies
Young souls jump into the unknown to lose their heads
Wilin' out in the time they're allotted
Today I'm a new soul
Ecstatic, erratic, so frightened and bold
Tomorrow an old soul
Steadily seeking the way to go home
To this road there is no end
I'll see you in the next my friend.
