KINDIAN

Some 500 years have now passed, yet in the past
I'm still finding the keys to the questions that I ask.
I'm only one great son, son of the great great One,
Of the One great spirit, of the great One sum.
I'm thinking about how I could feel it
when I lived your slums,
I was beaten by the seasons,
with no material wealth
I was a free man; All is magic.
I could hear this; All is music.
Such is the dream, such is the vision
It's just like that; One day I swayed
Along the scenes of dream daze
And caught fast lanes in my eyes
Along the rays of crystal glaze
And then all became named
I had awoken to the sky, been smoked by the sun,
Raised by the High, smoked by the One,
Raised on this Earth
to provoke everyone
in a good way.
Channel the Ravel, unravel,
revel the rebel, the level

I am copper. Deep from this earth,
And am all that surrounds me at birth,
I become all that surrounds me in death.

I'm telling you a story of a man in space,
With his hands on his face.
Floating about him are the spirits of age;
Whispering about man and his place.
They asking him to remind this man of his place,
and using his voice;
And despite all the violence and the noise
you can still hear them saying:
Be proud Redman be proud. Be proud of your tradition,
be proud of your race and be proud of your vision.

The past is now passed and although I may ask
why the past is my mask I must know
that I am what I now choose to grab from my past;
that I will only know what I now choose will last
from my past. From my blood. From my race.
From the colour in my face.
From the nature of my place in the old ways.
In one of those days I too was borne
to the dust in the earth and the scorn,
Red blood under redskin; the red sin
in the culture I am dressed in.
possessed in.
unblessed in.
vexed in
and stressed in.
Identity, enter me, let me see the enemy,
let me be the animal.
Escape, from the entities, that crave my humanity,
that feed from my fears,
that feed from my greed and that feed from my tears.
I will take off these clothes, stand proud,
take my place in the round,
and stomp the ground in powwow.

I am copper. Deep from this earth.
And am all that surrounds me at birth,
I become all that surrounds me in death.

I'm telling you a story of a man in space,
With his hands on his face.
Floating about him are the spirits of age;
Whispering about man and his place.
They asking him to remind this man of his place,
using his voice;
And despite all the violence and the noise
you can still hear them saying:
Be proud Redman be proud. Be proud of your tradition,
be proud of your race and be proud of your vision.
Be proud of your place and be proud of your mission.
The paint on your face, saying never submission,
remember those days and remember your religion,
the freedom and the nature and the birth of first vision.
We are all still here;
We are all still listening to the prayers
in the smoke that your pipes release into the air
with the hope that your children will grow to be aware
and be proud of what is theirs.

To the Redman:
I am copper. Deep from this earth.
And I am all that surrounds me at birth,
And I am all that surrounds me in growth,
And I become all that surrounds me in death.



SHADOW MAN

Shadow man; write rhymes in the dark,
Away from the crowds in the bar.
I listen to the beat from afar
Travel through the night till it hits and ignites with a spark.
The words come pouring and a new cycle starts,
Born a new story, born a new star.
Born a new path to be walked with the heart.
Born a new path to be walked with the heart.

Go through life standing firm
Those who think they right dealing strife never learn.
Everything we write is devised to be burned.
I test my will and might throwing words to the urn.
Words turn to ash, ash turn to dust.
Everything we learn we'll unlearn as a must,
Before the final turn in the wheel must be thrust,
The dust must blow.

Thus we'll begin again, to sin again
To mistrust what we'll win again
Until a gust of wing brings the scent of our stink again;
let us know
Everything she gives we have taken,
We should listen to the will of the maker
Remember we were born…

From the center all things come and become.
When they come undone.
They'll return to the one.
Recur to the sum.
From which none will be shun.
Thy will be done, crawl, walk or run
cry overcome, Pray to be stunned
Pry the become,
find in all sound the surround mighty hum

Go through life standing firm.
Everything we write is alright to be burned.
Before the last fight we'll ignite the last urn;
Set the last fire in the night to burn bright
In the pyre that will light the new turn.
Let the smoke rise to the sky as we churn,
Let us leave what we have to be burned.
Let us turn around head bound to the profound.
Let us come around finally bow to the ground.
Hear the sound of our peace come down,
hear the chaos cease,
With due defeat hear the chaos leave (us)
to the heat of a new sunny day.
Again we'll be children
who will run and will play with no worries.
We will gleam clean and we will flourish.
We will stream a new stream
with new courage to the sea
of the new found dream we will nourish.

From the center all things come and become
When they come undone
They'll return to the one
Recur to the sum
From which none will be shun
Thy will be done, crawl, walk or run
Cry overcome, Pray to be stunned
Pry the become,
find in all sound the surround mighty hum.

If the blessed weren't the manifested…



STORMY WEATHER

Speak my mind, come the stormy weather.
Like I'm calling the ghosts from you.
Take those words and shed your light on them.
What do you see through that transparency?

Man's best to bring is the truth,
Enjoy it.
Man's test to sing is the true,
Employ it.
We cannot chose.
Man's best to bring is the truth,
Enjoy it.
Man's test to sing is the true,
Employ it.

When freed from identity
the vehicle responds
with the unasked for truth.
Now detached from danger
the sacrifice speaks thus to you:
I am he who deep within work
has sown the same warnings
to all who will listen.
To all who will listen.

Speak my mind; suffer that need.

You spoke them.
Through me.
For yourself.

Man's best to bring is the truth,
Enjoy it.
Man's test to sing is the true,
Employ it.
We cannot chose.
Man's best to bring is the truth,
Enjoy it.
Man's test to sing is the true,
Employ it.

I am just one
who from the shadows
has come
in the name of the makers of change.
To speak what I see
in all transparency
and help the awakening day.
In your mind a helmet of will,
to rise within ill.
An old reminiscence,
in the wake that has passed and is coming.

How long? In between worlds I channel these words.
For how long? A new time is dawning; for how long?

This is what you need to hear.
What you have always heard inside in your self.



COMING IN FROM THE DESERT

DINERO

The very last words I heard were absurd.
Words made me stutter.
My head turn and my eyes shutter.
What the fuck! Say's eye in the mind.
I can't believe my luck!
Spread in the gutter was a letter doing better unread,
I picked it up
And I read it, my head rang struck,
now I regret it,
Said it:
“If it's dry we shall wet it.
Never mind if its alive we shall dead it.
A new time more inclined for our kind will beget it.
You read it, through my words you won't forget it.
Your God? He regret it,
Never mind him if he knows that their freedom
is a thing from within,
And as long as they can sin
we can keep them wondering
where it is.”

Came down like great thunder,
made my mind shake and wonder:

“Are we all going under?
What! I said, what is this!
Damn what is this shit!
Who could write this shit?
Who wrote it?”

I'm walking on the tips of my toes
and I suppose that you're talking
through the lips of a ho who don't know that I know.
If its dry you shall wet it, so it goes.
Never mind if its alive you shall dead it,
new flow, new time more inclined for your kind
will beget it, now you know that I read it.
Like I'm stepping on the tips of your toes
while you suppose that I'm running
from the silly little threats that you show.

Corriendo y escapando, chiflando,
manteniendo-nos en el mando,
Gritando: “Que está passando?
Que coño está passando?
El mundo esta acabando,
el cielo esta sangrando.
Lo veo en el campo.
El tiempo está cambiando.
Vamos, vamo-nos, los dejamos.
Como no, estamos solos.
Recibimos lo que merecemos, vamos,
no tengas pena, no lloremos.
No vale la pena, por asi decir:

Read in the letter: Obey!
You who don't pay, obey!
You who don't play, obey!
You who can't stand in the rain run away!
Slaves for the trade, obey!

I'm walking on the tips of my toes
and I suppose that you're talking
through the lips of a ho who don't know that I know.
If its dry you shall wet it, so it goes.
Never mind if its alive you shall dead it,
new flow, new time more inclined for your kind
will beget it, now you know that I read it.
Like I'm stepping on the tips of your toes
while you suppose that I'm running
from the silly little threats that you show.

She came walking down like she knew.
Like she had a plan for the man, me and you.
What they plan for you is to slip ya in this noose,
Slide it tight around your neck
until you lose the ability to choose.
She saw I had her letter, thrown in the gutter, as it fell
I heard the words from its writer make me shudder.

“What's the matter?
Subject matter got your nerves on a platter
Do they flatter what you knew,
does it matter what you do?”

(Miss) I say, this is what I think:

Would you put your lips around the tip of my dick,
And then spit when I jizz so's it drips on your tits.
Degrading, this is what I think of you lady. Shady witch!!
Oh, you say why I gotta be so sick?
Why you gotta be such a bitch?
who pretends she never been such a bitch?
I can see through your tricks trick!”

I'm walking on the tips of my toes
and I suppose that you're talking
through the lips of a ho who don't know that I know.
If its dry you shall wet it, so it goes.
Never mind if its alive you shall dead it,
new flow, new time
more inclined for your kind will beget it,
now you know that I read it.
Like I'm stepping on the tips of your toes
while you suppose that I'm running
from the silly little threats that you show.



HAD I THE COURAGE

This mission: your volition
this ambition: your volition
this friction: your volition
your volition
Had I the courage to call you by your true name
Had I the courage to call you by your true name

Plumed serpent slithers and slides slow
In this slippery mind this kind I know
And in mine eye I have kind of known, kind of known

Had I the courage to call you by your true name
Had I the courage to call you by your true name

Too much confusion with this here kind; Too much illusion
Too much delusion in this here mind. Why, I know
Illusion; this illusion, disillusion.

Somehow the raindrops always fall in rhythm

Had I the courage to call you by your true name

Had I the courage to call you by your true name
Had I the courage to call you by your true name

I'd not mind the rain, I
I'd not mind the change
Whatever I'd find strange I'd name
Your volition, your volition, your volition.

This mission: your volition
this ambition: your volition
this friction: your volition
your volition

And I sit in the rain, and I'm wondering…
And I sit in the rain and I'm wondering
Why the birds don't sing in this night
Why the kids don't play in this night
Why the sun don't shine

Had I the choice to call you; I'm wondering…
Would I see you? I'm wondering
Would I peel in the thundering sight?
If I'd feel you wandering.

This rock I stand on rolls
forever I walk but to where I don't know,
I don't know why the kid don't play in this night
Why the sun don't shine for me

Under the night I roam, and stroll
Within the light I'll roam, it's true

This mission: your volition
this ambition: your volition
this friction: your volition
your volition

Take these two steps on this beach at sunset
At unease with the rest
And my knees at unrest
And my head at unrest
I don't care about the best
This duress is a test
I could do with a rest now

Let my mind relax
Let my soul come back
Let me know I passed with the courage

This mission: your volition
this ambition: your volition
this friction: your volition
your volition

Your volition is the faith that drives me on and on…

THE COST

Man,
commit a crime against man
commit a crime against man I ran
from the scene with the blood in my hands
away I ran from the crime of man

Killed a mighty man ‘cause this man had food
and would not share with a blind man who
lay on the dirty ground clothes in marks black and blue
´cause the dirty hound of the poor had bruised him with…

Hunger is a ravenous beast
that lurks within its lair waiting
it is the price of the living
a reason for killing

I wonder how detached can we be from this catastrophe money
While one of us eats other ones do not feed without money
There's hunger

Say:
I was born to rot
And I'll eat my words a lot
I will see that this world is not
You're only a coward if you get caught
You're only a coward if its news
You're only a coward in these shoes
If you choose in this hour you will loose
All the hope and the power within you

So you're only a coward
So you're only a coward
In this mighty hour
When the sweet becomes sour
When the feet become sore
And the weak suffer more
In my words I hide yours
In my deeds I hide your needs

Life change fast minds;
So what we really need is to find why we bleed
is to find what we need
Life change fast minds; fast pace

Bless these
I not mind disgrace
and these mistakes I make
and these mistakes I will make
given a chance to repeat the taste
do the same if the same opportunity arises
‘cause in my eyes its
right and righteous
for all to see
The righteous (in this)

Life change fast minds;
So what we really need is to find why we bleed
is to find what we need
Life change fast minds; fast pace Is it what we really need?



5 AND 3

Weeping my mess, reaping duress
I see light at the end through the glass
Woe my destiny has passed
Aint the worse prepared for me passed?
At last I'm not scared to be lost
I accept the me cost
Weeping my mess, reaping duress
I see light at the end through the glass
Eagles fly with my spirit take me
So high I can feel it make me change
Although I'm limited
I can fly with the birds at night
Migrate to the turn of the tides
Burn in the pyre bright

All that running, all that running, all that running helps no one win
I am burnt by the sun and my back is oh helps me run away
Through the cities of darkness I've been running
Tossing and turning cursing my turn

I am shook by the bumpy road
Only don't know should I get up and go
Slowly I stand up
Lonely
Looking for you who owns me

Although I'm Limited
Eagles fly with my spirit take me
So high I can feel it make me change
I can fly with the birds at night
Migrate to the turn of the tides
Burn in the pyre bright all night

All that money, all that money, all that money helps one need
I am burnt by the greed, my mind is oh helps me run away
In the cities of darkness I am running
Tossing and turning cursing my turn

Now what I need is to find why I bleed
Now what I need is to find why I bleed

All that running, All that running, all that running helps no one win
I am burnt by the sun and my back is oh helps me run away
Through the cities of darkness I've been running
Tossing and turning cursing my turn

WHITE TREE

And a me see mas sive plan
And a me seen massive man
Son o this planet
Stronger than lion
Him a many man have a plan to control
Him a many man have a will to enrol
He never known
Rebellious soul
A freedom spirit
Rebellious goal
And I can hear it
He growing strong
I can see the signs of rebellion come
Millions and billions of people we be
Millions of minions those people we be
Most living in fear and negativity
Hanging by our necks from this damn cursed tree
Incarceration and slavery
In every nation, in every street
In every mind the third eyes sees
Many have awoken to the third eye's dream

No, nor the wickedness nor the stickiness will control.
Why imitate them? They nothing but cold.
They nothing but horror on gold. Why imitate them?

Como yo lo tengo, como yo lo doy,
Como yo lo veo, como yo estoy,
como yo lo hablo, como yo lo hago,
como yo vengo, como yo lo soy
sin la más mínima duda estoy
sin la más mínima duda que ver es hoy
sin tiempo corremos
sin tiempo mirar
sin tiempo no hay ver
sin tiempo no hay estar
como no sabemos, como no vemos, como entendemos,
como habremos ni como podremos un día parar por bien
muy bien pues, muy bien es, muy buenos son de corazón
el día vendrá, habrá que luchar, habrá que guerrear, habrá que matar,
como lo sabemos
habrá que morir como no
como lo sabemos
habrá que sufrir como no
Déjame estar, tu déjame hablar
Porque este viejo no sabe callar

No, nor the wickedness nor the stickiness will control.
Why imitate them? They nothing but cold.
They nothing but horror on gold. Why imitate them?

Positivity is the third eye scene
Oh, and a me say so
And a you say bosses and a me say no
And a you say work and a me say who?
And a you say you
Work is the task that I naturally do
Word is the mask that I naturally use
Said some are blind, yes
Those of your kind need but open your minds yes
Come again say
And a me say so and a the father say so
And a me say so and a the creator say so
In a tunnel mind the vision will grow
In a dark mind the light will show
Words, this planet can observe
That man can serve
Ignorance converts
These are mighty words from the mouth of one who heard
These words from the mouth of the ones who had heard

No, nor the wickedness nor the stickiness will control.
Why imitate them? They nothing but cold.
They nothing but horror on gold. Why imitate them?

What is unusual might not be so bad.
With a turn of the head, and a turn of the hips,
Head this way, read my lips.
What is original should be the usual.

THE WARRING TWINS

We're gonna take a day, we're gonna name it pay day
I'll come around your way and you and I will play games
You and me and God we got dust to settle
Regardless of the odds we're gonna burst the bubble
Worth the trouble
A new time come, face the double
Beneath a burning sun, pace the rubble
Until I'm done with the one that has done me the one wrong
All along through these long dimensions

Since I woke up to this energy
I've been looking for a hook up to this synergy
So I can look up how to love all my enemies
The greatest weapon from above that will let me be
A message from the one that will set me free from this heat
I both need and bleed dimensions

I'm a find you no matter what you do twin
I know what you can do and I rebel against the hell I was through
In the past when I asked will you give me a rest
A rest from this test, you just laughed at your best
I'm not impressed by your restlessness
An excess I expect to arrest
Next time we meet undersea we both hold our breath
And in that freezing cold we gonna know duress
This dimension

You'll say take me away from this place
I need to get away from disgrace
I need to feel clean so I can see your true face
I stare into space and I call your name
I'm small and I'm tame, I know my true blame
Save me this shame
Good things come to those who wait
Bad things come to those who hate
So we relate

I'm a help you no matter what you do twin
I know what you can do and I rebel against the hell I was through
In the past when I asked will you give me a rest
A rest from this test, you just laughed at your best
You laughed

From your foul breath black clouds form
Cast shadows a million years long
I see they hover above
I work continuous labor and love
And send this song and this prayer above
We belong here, we were born here
Our ancestors songs were sung here

Yea I'm a save you no matter what you do twin
I know what you can do and I rebel against the hell I was through
Come to pass when I get your best, arrest
Arrest this test
I laugh

BREATHE (RESPIRATUM ASTHMATICUS)

Breathe
I need my cane
Floor my panic, support my pain
Static, I'm one of the asthmatics, pragmatic
Bringing the unknown side to the attic; staggering, scattering
I speak of my disease when I can't breathe
Seen how I've been seen struggling to remain sober
While I'm falling over choking
I'm running slow motion from this burning low emotion

Fire, burn this pyre down
Now burn it to the ground
Kill my sickness now
Cleanse me, defend me
This tarnished crown is…

Take my hand and walk through the quicksand till we reach safe land together
I say to my inners:
I wont let you sink
No way
We're interconnected, interdependent
Into the madness, not by our own choice
Into the sadness, not by our own voice
Not by our own noise do we scream alone out to the wild
I'm only a child, just leave me the fuck alone

And all these words are but whispers from our inners
And all these words are just ghosts
Broke away from home in our hope to survive
Broke away from home in our hope to revive

I suffocate, reinstate all the pain
Is the wait not a waste for my fate is the same, regardless, huh ?
I not looking for apologies
Nor I looking for your sympathy
Eye just looking for the answers see
Beyond this dank reality
I suffer because from it I will learn not to suffer
I will learn how to spark this…

Fire, burn this pyre down.
Now burn it to the ground.
Kill my sickness now
Cleanse me, defend me
This tarnished crown is fucked
Even if I'd truck for a million k's
There would never be enough space
Between them and I, deficient
For all the air in the atmosphere will never be sufficient

To save me from the agony

Whenever, outside
You and I,
Man to man,
Hand to hand.
One will die,
One will stand
Alive

Energies out of sight
Feed through my victim eyes
Invisible disguise
Thirsty gods
Hunt and hide
For if I saw I would take life
One day the joint chiefs
Will pave the way from our primitive grave
Preparations will be made for a higher nation to succeed

Fire, burn this pyre down.
Now burn it to the ground.
Kill my sickness now
Cleanse me, defend me
This tarnished crown is fucked
Even if I'd truck for a million k's
There would never be enough space
Between them and I, deficient
For all the air in the atmosphere will never be sufficient

Separated
from the One elated
For this one is jaded
For this one has graded
For the One has made it
this bliss is blind

WEAKNESS SHALL NOT ENTER

Inspired by working love blind
take my mind from y'all
save my kind from all fall; roll
taking time to realize all is so bountiful
its so beautiful
what is all this accounting for?

Oh I don't know, I don't know
all I know is I love
what I know is above
where is home? my Love

It's been a long road, the long road,
staring up; I can see the horizon rising
inner war, man sink
be no more naturally, spiritually, ritually
we don't see spiritually, weak

Shall not enter,
Weakness shall not enter

Fire begins
walks with earth
from the end to the beginning
walk with breath

You are a circle
your call was the word
the response was the meaning
that cast the world

What you walk for, where you walk to
running but slipping and sliding, is how they recognize you
but the shining sun in the horizon is alive in you

Move.
what are you trying to prove, pick yourself up and chose
what have you got to lose, but follow the clues
set fire to the inn where the guard keeps the noose
send the lions to the sin, and the dragons to the fools

What you walk for, where you walk to
no more run nor slip nor slide; no more sun to try and hide
let it hang there in the sky; throughout day and night

Shall not enter,
Weakness shall not enter...
