Manifesto |
| 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 stressin' 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 fuckin' 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 hopin' |
| 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 |
