lyrics

the kick drum in my ribcage says I don't spit to get paid
I do it to keep it beating cause I love you human beings
I'm through with holding back getting trapped inside my grey matter
burn bring right now cause every single day matters
shake patterns that are keeping you locked up
boxed in see the individual not us
and I must trust the bonds that can be made between souls
it's not make believe but what really makes us be whole
I hold on to reality fastened by my passions,
my life is tied tightly to the world that I inhabit.
and hell I wouldn't have it friend any other way
either everybody's getting free or we all are staying slaves
so brave the loaded barrels, the heralds of the white house
fascist bullet holes they would only let the light out
the supernova spirit you can hear it in my song
the struggle that connects us all it's here I belong

this is where I live
and what a damn fine place it is
this is where I live
such bliss just to exist
floating in connection I am but a drop unto the sea
and everything that's ever been is just another drop like me

home is where the hear is low rent for starving artists
pumping moments through my veins untamed and hard to harness
but damn the chains I'd lay upon a thing that would be free
everything I've ever tried to own only ended owning me
even the muscle blood and bone are only loaners from the earth
every inch of human being was another being first
so when I spit I seek to speak as just a spoke upon the wheel
I am blind to where I'm going but the road is mine to feel
I don't have time to hide in fear so I must think clearly
life is so divine hold the whole world dearly
so hear me shout hear it echoed from the mountains
in the sea and in the breeze even the trees are reannouncing
solidarity is everywhere in everything we've ever shared
I was born a part of the planet so upon it I am never scared
any place I place my feet whispers home as I approach
I gotta say it clear so everybody knows

this is where I live
and what a damn fine place it is
this is where I live
such bliss just to exist
floating in connection I am but a drop unto the sea
and everything that's ever been is just another drop like me
