Kellee moved to Pittsburgh in her late teens with the dream of changing the world. She learned more about the negative sides of our society through study at the University of Pittsburgh and Hip Hop was solidified as her passion and outlet for activism. She also experienced watching her mother go through a near death bout with cancer and used writing as a means to cope. She began performing in 2000 and has not stopped since. However, a sense of not being able to make any real change, a lack of confidence, and need for financial security pushed her into the workforce and on the spiritual journey, which proved to be a unique opportunity to learn about what would became her inspiration as an artist.
Kellee worked in events and promotions at the Pittsburgh City Paper right after college. After her father passed away Kellee again turned to music as a way to cope. Soon after the tragedy, she started her own female owned and operated, socially conscious company, Nakturnal, in hopes of securing a better income to help her mother in the future and allow for growth in her music career. For over two years now, Nakturnal has been considered the leading guerilla marketing and events organization in the region, that works daily for independent artists, worthy causes and is expanding nationally. While Nakturnal was growing, Kellee found more time to record and perform, and released her first album, Age of Feminine. She is currently working on her second release which highlights her mystical side. She is also launching a website that will act as an artistic statement with the help of a huge female team made up of Nakturnal and other talented Pittsburgh based women.
A deeply spiritual person striving to enjoy and appreciate the present, Kellee now sees activism on a energetic level that starts within. She studies the power of intention, meditation, quantum physics, astrology, tarot and other forms of mysticism. She feels her purpose in life is to make music that sends out good energy and makes people think. She believes massive global change is coming and that it starts with the individual. She asserts that our inner world is a mirror of our outer reality and that we have the power to help positively affect the world by "being the change we wish to see", as Ghandi puts it. She believes we are entering a new stage of evolution in human consciousness and hopes that her music inspires change and awareness in the listener. She believes music and art hold the key to the revolution we need and that we can enjoy this moment while opening hearts and minds.
Anyway
Kellee Maize Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remind myself of this often
When I'm coughing, when I'm sick when I'm hurt
I get my a** outta bed, meditate the crime out my head
There is no time for a pretend, this is the life I came to end
So I should enjoy the time I have
I employ my best and then
When I feel lost when I feel down
Wanna keep my self clean
I wanna be best I could be
Cause the children, they keep growing
And I've been knowing that my responsibility is serious
Um un-delirious about this sphere of trust
Given to us called earth
Its worth
Strait gold
And in her life
We ain't old
We should respect
The truth that has been told
That she has been bent in half and we must open the fold
2x
And Its alright
And Its okay
We willl figure it out
Anyway
Human have taken advantage of each other
And of the earth
And now as our brains begin to evolve
I wonder if we will all realize what this is worth
Will we solve the equation of birth
I say yes, it only makes sense
Beyond cents and dollars
Back to the bead-makers and potters
Back to the origin of the fathers
Of freedom not legions but tribes
Not heathens but scribes,
Not demons but wives
Of the universe
In a soothing verse
They will undo the curse
We will unveil the nurse
The owl's message is new
Not of ending but of proof
That we are attending
Who will recoup
Of all the lost in the group
Those pushed down by the untruth
Those who haven't gotten what their due
This song right here, well,
This one's is for you
[Bridge:]
You need to know that you are divine
You need to know that now is your time
Nothing that can stop you now
Nothing that can stop you now
In Kellee Maize's song Anyway, she speaks about the struggles of life, but ultimately reminds herself that things could be worse. The song begins speaking about the physical struggles she experiences, and her efforts to meditate and overcome them. She acknowledges that this is the only life she has, and that she should make use of the time she has. She also speaks about the importance of being the best version of herself, especially for the sake of the children, who keep growing and need a responsible adult figure in their lives.
As the song progresses, Kellee Maize shifts towards discussing the struggles that the earth and humanity are going through. She recognizes that humans have taken advantage of each other and the earth, but believes that as our brains evolve, we will realize the worth of the earth and each other. She believes that the solution lies in going back to the origins of humanity, before monetary values dominated us, and returning to the community-oriented ways of our ancestors. She believes that this change will help those who have been pushed down and haven't gotten what they deserve. The bridge of the song speaks to the listener, encouraging them to believe in their own divinity and that now is their time to shine.
