Manifesto
(专辑: On The Verge - 2010)
Well this is real talk, this is non-stop It is looped now tongue and mind Played off the
sidewalk, straight to your boombox How it travels from ear to memory Well this is medicine, there's a
message within And each will find it in their own time Well this is music, this is how I
use it It makes you move and move the
movement This is how I
focus, knowing it's not hopeless But it sure starts with me and ends on a
whole note Musical medicine, this is my healing For past and present future things to come I
see people stressing over space and possessions Out of fear and a
need for visual aids of our abundance Give me examples or something tangible Something I
can get my hands on and find real meaning Where is the
medicine? well I've been searching And I
suppose each will find their own kind Well everything's at stake, it makes it hard to concentrate And there are men who see a
war and see a
paycheck Such different programming, to live so fearfully Terror this and terror that, terrible reality There is no medicine on the
television So turn it off and turn yourself around And let's just face it, the
world's fucking racist Even the
most peaceful of us gets caught in the
trend To live cohesively is almost a
fantasy And we ought to know it starts with humbling our egos What is the
medicine for cultural woundin'? Has its moments, has its melodies, has its time Well I
was listening to the
outgoing seasons About climate change and some of the
reasons When the
sky opened, like I
been hoping And there came horses by the
thousands And there was thunder on their tongues, and lightning on their minds And they were singing this old melody from some other time They sang don't waste your hate Rather gather and create Be of service, be a
sensible person Use your words and don't be nervous You can do this, you've got purpose Find your medicine and use it They sang don't waste your hate Rather gather and create Be of service, be a
sensible person Use your words and don't be nervous You can do this, you've got purpose Find your medicine and use it ...
