Old Soul |
| I don’t wanna romanticize another time that’s gone by |
| But I have to be honest and tell you that |
| I am an old soul, sold, |
| Some Nina Simone is gonna put me in the zone |
| Quicker then some talk of Petrone |
| Or Crystal or or Pistol it’s oh so tedious |
| I want to hear some tunes |
| Like strange fruit with meaning in |
| I want to hear the wolf howling and the waters muddy |
| I want it to dance, want it to make me cry but also funny |
| Feeling that inner city blues, Marvin’s the town crier |
| Some soul-to-soul, some azwad with dubfire |
| Some Gregory Isaacs, a little touch of Dennis Brown |
| I love the soul but nothing moves me like that Reggae sound |
| Jamaican blood, sound system upbringing |
| Our black american cousins are big influences |
| On the songs we are singing. |
| It’s all Soul with Africa at it’s base |
| So Fela and Masakela, Makeba play from the same place |
| I remember, I remember |
| Do you remember? |
| I remember |
| I remember, I remember |
| Cause I’m just an old soul |
| I’m just an old soul |
| I’m just an old soul |
| Do you remember? |
