Coffe Cup
03:41
|
|||
|
It's sweet like the sugar cutting the bitter of the
sludge in my mug that I've grown to love
'cuz it gets my morning moving so nights are free for groovin'
rockin' some tubes and letting loose
all the nooses that bind us also remind us
that they're tightening quick
so we gotta take a little time to
notice a moment and know nobody owns it
'cuz it's something that's shared
Something in between a dream
So won't you shine my pretty little coffee cup
Shine my pretty little mug...

Soft Spoken Prophet

There is a brother I know better than most
'Cuz his ax is always grinding the stone
I'm lucky to know that it's easy to see
He is a soft-spoken prophet indeed
Rolls with the punches life throws his way
When he gets lemons drinking lemonade
Floats like a butterfly 'n stings like a bee
He is a soft-spoken prophet indeed
Does the best he can with the too little he gets
Making up the difference with his blood and sweat
There is a sister I know better than most
'Cuz she keeps her profile low
but in her deeds there is a prophecy
She is a soft-spoken prophet in deed
Decided early in her young womanhood
Do what it takes to cultivate the good
Lives hand to mouth so that others can eat
She is a soft-spoken prophet indeed

Feed the Meter
08:31

Let's give each other some satisfaction
Let's keep it easy on automaction
Feed the meter baby 'cuz you know
You know I'll be lasting
We can get loud
Just as long as the music's blasting...

Day to Day
05:44
|

|
I'm doing a new dance called the day to day
Ain't thinking about tomorrow quit fretting on yesterday
and I'm feeling alright doing the day to day
I was just a young fool thinking I could look past the moments
preacting anticipating cause
I wasted time trying to read all their minds
Instead of asking and embracing surprise
I couldn't fit the whole world in my head
There's not enough cause for all the consequences
Of all the could that could come to pass
Just one will, so I'm...
It got so bad I was wishing that I had
Things I had that I had forgot
Was too busying counting days 'till I had it made
Until it killed me I was missing my life ...

Bodies
08:46
|

|
There's bodies in the basement
on the stairs
in the foyer
everywhere
in the bedroom
in the bath
whacking bush
in the path
in airplanes
in space
in seas
in lakes
in buildings
in the streets
we got so many bodies to feed
... We got bodies being born
Bodies growing old
Bodies getting tired
and bodies going cold
we got bodies in the freezer
for the recipe
you know it's time to put bodies in the meat
