I'm the sum total of my ancestors
I carry their DNA
We are representatives of a long line of people
And we carried them around either with
This long line of people
That goes back to the beginning of time
And when we meet - they meet other lines of people
And we say bring together the lines of me.
-Maxi Jazz:
When I look back over the years
at the things that brought tears to my eyes
papa said we have to be wise
to live long lives
now i recognise
what my father said before he dies
vocalise things I've left unsaid
left my spirit unfed for too long
I'm coming home to my family
Where i can be strong
Be who I planned to be
Within me my ancestory
Givin'me continuity
Would it be remiss to continue in this way
would you rather I quit
come with the other shit
making people's hips sway
lip service I pay but i'm nervous
i pray for all the mothers who get no sleep
like a lifeline I light lines cause my compassion is deep
for the people who fashioned me my soul to keep
and this is who i happen to be
and if I don't see that I'm strong then I wont be
This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more
than he did
But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain
to my sweet grandfathers face
in his resting place
I make haste to learn and not waste
everything my forefathers earned in tears
for my culture
- Robbie:
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
- Maxi Jazz:
for my culture
- Robbie:
water to air
you're on your feet again
your feet again.
Hello Dad, remember me?
I'm the man you thought I'd never be.
I'm the boy who you reduced to tears
Dad I'd been lonely for 27 years
Yeah, that's right my name's Bob
I'm the one who landed the popstars job
I'm the one who you told : look, don't touch?
and the kid who wouldn't amount to much.
I believe in the senses out of sound
I have always been too loud
wont you help me drown it out?
I'm what I feel
and what I'm feeling is surreal
I'm a massive spinnin' wheel s'always digging in my heels.
Now I got the faith to
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
water to air
you're on your feet again
your feet again.
- Maxi Jazz:
Hah, lace up your booty
Going back to the roots continue my interlude
Feed freaking for loot
And my spell's been to check what your future brings is now
and your forefathers further know How
but now what happened to the world without the hatred
Use your head if the needle is wise be the thread
And weave ancestral wisdom yours by best
spreading the lords word over this broad earth
-Robbie & Maxi jazz:
This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more
than he did
But he told me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain

in his resting place
I make haste to learn and not waste
everything my forefathers earned in tears
-Maxi Jazz:

Crawl from the warm water

Crawl from the warm water

You're on your feet again
Your feet again

For my culture.

(Ashla Bhosle)
Karmany evaadhikaraste ma phalesu kadacana
Ma karma phala hetur bhur ma te sango'stv arkamani
Paritramaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam
Dharma samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge
(Michael Stipe)
Fall over myself
Don't mean to interrupt
I was miles away
Things I forgot
Are the footstools of God
That's how I behaved
I frighten myself and folded my hand
As you talked to God
I love the way you dream (9x)
Even my most base complaint my sweet
My aims were lower
And even though all my restraint my sweet
My aim was clumsy
And even if there's only one thing I want for you
I want for you
I love the way you dream.
I love the way you love the way you dream, one for me one for you
One for me, one for you.

(English translation):
It's my turn the short division
I'm the light that shines and guides the young
I eat before I start
but I'm not going to finish now
What's the problem? It's in a person
It's in a person... in the world
I'm warning you, that's the truth
What's the problem? It's in a person
It's in a person....in the world
I'm warning you, I'm warning you
It's in a person, it's in a person
I'm warning you, I'm warning you
it's the truth
Africa land for preachers gold
Land for everybody âЂ“ young and old
The place that holds for some bright future,
but for others the future tend to torture
Maaaaaa Africa.
What went wrong with your brains?
You kill each other you destroy human dignity
People of Africa lets stand together
and make it the land of hope!
I want to tell everybody about myself.

Yo we was talking earlier and I was telling you talking bout life
I feel like life is like braided hair
Its sorta like twist you know
Bout braided hair like twist
You know three strands twist together
Ultimately you get to where you wanna get to
From the same dirt from the heels of my ancestors
The naked roads and the fields where the pain festered
And I wonder where the hold came from
In the deeps of my heart make me yearn for the drum
It's the same place where the cross is burned
The same place where the loss was earned
It's the place where the floss was yearned
Gold teeth and bling ice on the ring baby sure
We've all got things that hang at the back
Things that make us cool,
Things that make us whack,
Things that make us mad
Things we wish we never had done
But they're just the things that make us real
Not the maps to guide where we go from here
The road twists and braids our hair
Until we all get there
I like that I don't know some mysteries
Ancient things and beginnings
Excited about the day when I don't have to hear all the theories
My scalp needs some grease
It's the same place where the crosses burned
The same place where the loss was earned
The only way we all can learn
Is if we have these braids with the twist and turns so
Walking in the race of life
Looking for my own pace
Not always wanting to but I have to
Sometimes feeling like I've bitten off much more than I could chew
But the wind goes though my hair
Lifts me up with ease not a crease
Hair full of grease no weave embracing me
It's you I see
I am you and you are me I see yeah
I am you and you are me I see
We might survive as brothers ye

Some people went around interviewing dying patients
But not one person said they regretted not making more money or working harder
They all seemed to say their regrets were not spending more time with the people they loved
And not travelling more and relating more to the world and the planet
(Maori)

Last night I went to sleep as a child
Only to wake up this morning and find out I was a man
In my hands I discovered the tools and the rage of my father
And in my heart I found the love and the fears of my mother
Confrontation between the night and the day
The land and the sea
The fire and the air
The sacred and the profane
The holy and the unholy
The focused and the misdirected
The bully and the flesh
The mind and the spirit
The sound and the air
The oppressor and the resister
The brother and the sister
We are not walking the ghosts of the dead
We are alive
With the spirit of our passion
(African chant)

Spoken Words:
Music is to me proof of the existence of god,
It is so extraordinarily full of magic
And, and in tough times of my life
I can listen to music and it makes such a difference.
Come play a while,
Come dance and sing,
Come fall and raise,
Become kings and queens,
For all we are is beautiful.
You and me are the only ones.
Come play a while,
Come dance and sing,
Come fall and raise,
Become kings and queens,
For all we are is beautiful.
You and me are the only ones.

If you stay, or if you go
I won't try, I won't hope
'Cause if you stay
Or if you go
If you stay, or if you go
I won't try, I won't hope
'Cause if you stay, or if you go
I won't try, I won't hide
'Cause if you stay...
Despair
Depression
Feeling abandoned
Lonely
Worthless
Frustrated
Worry
Doubting
Vunerable
Forgetful
Losing self confidence
Heavy
Irritable
Fear of the future
Obsessed with possessions
Meaninglessness
Friendlessness
Fear of being penniless
No-one to touch
Lost of psychological power... because there is change afoot.
Be with the changes, and at the same moment, cultivate equinimity, spaciousness, emptiness, awareness, clarity... may it be so.
If you stay, or if you go
I won't try, I won't hide
'Cause if you stay, or if you go
I won't lie, I won't try
'Cause if you stay
'Cause if you stay...

Where is the love from birth?
Where it's gone?
Where is the love for humanity?
Where it's gone?
The love for the children
Respect for the elders
Where it's gone?
where it's gone?
I wanna know (x4)
I wanna know (x4)
When will they get it right
And live in the light
Prayers to my city
Praise for the nightfall
Rain wash my memory
Time climb a great wall
Please don't desert me
Not in the forest
Grace where I trespass
Calling my goddess
This is not real
This is not, not what you see
Where is the love from birth?
Where it's gone?
Where is the love for humanity?
Where it's gone?
I wanna know (x4)
Tell me
I wanna know (x4)
Tell me
I wanna know (x4)
Dream my grandfather
Dream of great quiet
Marry a flash between
Words and blue silence
Gentle disour
Where does the eye weigh
Brave all these cowards
Racing racing racing racing away (x2)
This is not real

I plunge into your ocean
Fall backwards from within
Flesh feared from my fingers
I think a fin
Suspended in your space
The starfish to your sun
I feel the pull of deeper depths
Before my life's begun
I'm rolling to your heartbeat
I'm dancing in your blood
I'm breathing in your water
My mother and my god
My mother and my god (x3)
Suspended in your space
The starfish to your sun
I feel the pull of deeper depths
Before my life's begun
I'm rolling to your heartbeat
I'm dancing in your blood
I'm breathing in your water
My mother and my god
My mother and my god (x3)
Hurt over me
Watch over, oh watch over me
Watch over, oh watch over me
