i found this song randomly in my iTunes library, it's listed as "Track 9" with no artist or album title.. no clue where it came from, but i really like it, so if anyone could give me the Artist & Track Name, i'd totally appreciate it!
Here are the lyrics as i heard them, probably not perfect, but close:
oh, it hits where it hurts
passion fights back
through the struggle to make it work
at times it's hard times
but the good equals
i'm fortunate to be here
surround by good people
energy, music, and dance
souls, emotions devotions
and visions are burning in the minds eye
now is our chance to make it advance
time flies, free-thought, use it
it's really all we got
music the magic diggin' deeper
scared of the shadows
but you are the reaper the skulls unsmilin'
what would we do without beats and rhymes
to speak the mind, a ray of light through this trite way of life
one with the wind
it never begin it never will end
a natural merging, a positive negative blend
that makes the sound that brings lost souls back from the dead
fear was only an obstacle that was only in my head
a bird flies a soul cries
there's no prize
i can only see it, capture the picture
with my own eyes
i'm feeling so free
how'd you like to know me
i bounce off drum beats slowly
no smoke, no tea
i'm sitting under and old tree
and i'm writing down my thoughts
i know i cant do it all until i get through it all
posers i take down to break ground
worship a fake coward
pray to a photograph
seas of worthless images
that prey on the lower half
of the economic hemisphere
don't let them build their weapons here
carved in blood and set in fear
the tyranny of the profiteer
cant work for right and make a buck
these heroes are all fake as f***
i'm floating in a lake of luck
and chaos has the paddles
love a chicken hate a duck
you know that they just made it up
call a soccer ball a hockey puck
and the whole foundation rattles
the way you look at things
and they look at you
i think that i'll just cook a brew
and throw it all in
texture what it touches,
microphones are crutches,
just give my words to the wind
give my words to the wind
give my words to the wind
it never began it never will end
(repeated)
life is more than working some bullshit job
life is more than building and making their head nod
life is more than a fear based reality
but it's all part of life and it's the love that does the balancing
why is it that we have no patience
when lifetime's spent preparing for self annihilation
dogmatic standards and systematic manipulation
has just about taken over every nation
but i see a new generation, a new way of thinking on the rise
so every single struggle is a blessing in disguise
what would you do when you get hit with a cosmic slap
will you take the one it's in or will you call the cops
spread the word put in your vote make a stand or be left speechless
to watch the crimson tide pour up on the beaches
the only solution can cause a chain reaction by word of mouth
free beats for the revolution, time is running out
yet my pen connects to my pad
words i'm writing and time i might spend
but i'm sticking to the god given flight plan
sometimes i get drunk and fight friends
and knock over mic stands
but i'm letting the light in
kaleidescope vision and i'm looking through the right end
my means connect to my ends
my dreams connects to my plans
and someday i might stand in white stand
and take in the view as the night ends
and everything will bloom where the sunlight lands
actualize utopia right then
if you love something commit to it my friend
and i'll see you on the other side, alright then
and i'll see you on the other side, alright then
give my words to the wind
it never began it never will end
(repeated)
