"The Roots" - Thirst

nobody@ipernity.com (Yves) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:55:53 +0000

Yves has posted a doc:

Back to the roots now
it has nothing to do with stepping back into times forever gone
it's rather a progress to the essential things that we need if we want to survive
because it's the roots now
not the fruit or the whole visible plant that stands the hard season
no there're always only those things deep down there
yes it's the root now
where we're all hanging on, we're depending on, where we all come from
it's not superficial, it's more inside, it's a place where you can hide, where you can fight,
where you get to reveal sanctimony, insincerity, faithlessness and hypocrisy

back to the roots means also back to yourself
you gotta know who you are,
then you know how far you must go to where you really wanna be
you must be more than a copy of your company
back to the roots to see it from the real view
not from the right or left or wrong or new
seeing thru this affectation leaves me like a captive in an alien nation
also back to the roots means back to the woods
it doesn't mean that you go back to the flintstones
no it means that you're natural, a part of this system and this age
you're never independent, as long as you're there

"It Ain't Easy" - Incognito

nobody@ipernity.com (Yves) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:51:34 +0000

Yves has posted a doc:

We can walk for miles
We can talk for days
Learn about each other always

And though we walk for miles
And we talk for days
Sometimes we let pride get in our way

And for a while something is broken and missing
And I can't tell what's goin' on in your mind

It ain't easy
Getting it right
It ain't easy
Trying to read the signs
It ain't easy
Trying to work out what's going on in your mind

And though we live and learn
Love is give and take
We fall into confusion some days

Where there's fear and need
We keep it all inside
Sometimes we let pride get in our way

And for a while something is broken and missing
And I can't tell what's goin' on in your mind

It ain't easy
Getting it right
It ain't easy
Trying to read the signs
It ain't easy
Trying to work out what's going on in your mind

God shinin' the light
He just turned on the spotlight
Yo, check it
The devil
Put you on display

I say
I used to believe
Everything i read
& see on tv
I was way down for the revolution
Until i found out
It was contingent upon some
Corporate sponsorship
And if jesus was alive today
He'd be incarcerated
With the rest of the brothers
While uh
The devil would have a great apartment
On the upper east side
Be a guest v.j.
On total request live

God, fear and money
Make the world go 'round and 'round
God, fear and money
I say god, fear and money
Make the world go 'round and 'round
God, fear and money
Yes you do, lord

I say mary don't you weep
Mary don't you moan
Lord have mercy
Come carry me home
And my brother up in heaven
Hallow by thy name
And if you truly are the shepherd
Why do they want, destroy
Slaughter all in your name?
Tell me

God, fear and money
Make the world go 'round and 'round
God, fear and money
Yes you do
God, fear and money
Make the world go 'round and 'round
God, fear and money

God, fear and money
Make the world go 'round and 'round
God, fear and money

Walk the walk
If you gonna talk that talk
Politicians...
God, fear and money

The devil's work is never done
God
The devil's work is never done
The devil's work is never done
God
The devil's work is never done

The devil's work is never done
Free yourself from the chains
Of envy
The devil's work is never done
Yeah
God, fear and money.

from "Cookie: The Anthropological Mixtape"

lyrics: Who covers themselves with the light as if it were a garment?
who makes the angel's spirit from the flames of the fire?
laid the foundation of the earth, so that it shall not be moved
covered it with the deep of the ocean, who stands above the mountains
and at your word , they fled, they hastened away
send the springs into the valley that flow through the hills
and give drink to the beasts of the field and quench their thirst
by you the birds of the heavens have their home
and sing amongst the branches
the earth is satisfied by the fruit of your works
cause the grass to grow for the cattle and the vegetation for the service of the human so that they bring forth the fruit from the earth
the wine that makes glad the heart of man and oil that makes his face shine
the wine that makes glad the heart of man and oil that makes his face shine

I like to watch the leaves fall, last breath sweet ash from the slash and burn
and lazy eyes from being in a dream
talk to the trees...
please, me, see, be, free, heed, believe, see, breath
need and want nothing
I need and want nothing
...............

by Me'shell NdegeOcello & Michael Caine

"Put That On Everything" - Brandy

nobody@ipernity.com (Yves) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 21:35:39 +0000

Yves has posted a doc:

If you're looking to find
A love that will stand till the end of time
Baby relax your mind my love is here
I'll do anything I swear
I'd take the pain and the hurt
You won't know it's there
Your wants would be nothing
I put that on everything

I will pull a star out of the sky for you
Yes I would
To the edge of the earth
I'll go to see you
Yes it's true
If you go anywhere
And I'm not there
Just think one thought of love
And I'll appear

Before I dream
I lay and think of you every night
Honest to god
I'm telling you the truth
I wish you could see
How much your presence means to me
You would love me so much
More each day

I'll walk for you
Through the desert heat
I'll climb the mountains highest peak
I'll swim forever in the deepest sea
Just for you this song I sing
For all the love and joy you bring
For you I'll try
To do the impossible things

Can I live up to my own potential?
Can you live up to your own potential?

Can I live up to my true potential?

Is there any escape from the torrential down pouring of
Neglect
Disrespect
Mass acceptance of conventions
Will I be a living contradiction?
Or will I go forth with my mission?
Will you be a living contradiction?
Or will you go forth with your mission?

The mission to re-adjust our vision
Don't give in
To the confines of space and time
Climb out of our corrugated box
look our boundaries in the closet
All limitations in safe deposit
Lose the key
go on a thinking spree
Free your mind
Free your mind
Free your mind
View resting on one's laurels as a crime
Make a citizen's arrest

Challenge the lawmakers
Be a risk taker not a move faker
Challenge the lawmakers
Be a risk taker not a move faker

Don't be scared to care
Get involved
Resolve problems not cause them
Spend quality time with your children
Fight racism
See the world through a prism
Be unwilling to feel imprisoned
Stop killing your sisters' spirit
Stop spilling your brothers' blood
Stop to love
Stop to love

Rise above mediocrity
Question yourself and hypocrisy
Be unbreakable
Rise above mediocrity
Question yourself and hypocrisy
Be unbreakable
Be unfadeable

Can I live up to my own potential?
Can you live up to your own potential?
Is there any escape from the torrential down pouring of
Neglect
Disrespect
Mass acceptance of conventions
Will I be a living contradiction?
Or will I go forth with my mission?
Will you be a living contradiction?
Or will you go forth with your mission?

So, what's your holy trinity?
Power, money, sex
Who's your worst enemy?
Me
So, what's your holy trinity?

Don't be content with following the leader
The deceiver
The mistreater
The forked tongue speaker
The nonbeliever
Don't be content with following the leader
The deceiver
The mistreater
The forked tongue speaker
The nonbeliever
The now believer
Seeker into your soul
Creeper into the folds of your skin
Repent you later
Of your sins

Been a long time since your Mama spoon fed you
So now what you gonna do that you gotta feed yourself
Been a long time since your Mama spoon fed you
So now what you gonna do that you gotta feed yourself
What you gonna put on your plate?
What's gonna be enough to take you to that next day

So now what you gonna do that you gotta feed yourself
What you gonna put on your plate?
What's gonna be enough to take you to that next day
