Souleye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where pioneers engineering /
New sounds concurring /
Bounce to the reflex it's alien music /
Project new visions of light to the project /
Professional fresh fusion sweet like a bowl fruit /
Since the age of a little man /
Like the first time a young girl gets a hula hoop /
Get a van move down by the river man /
Throw me a coconut, crack it open and drink it up /
A bit herb mixed with spliff tobacco /
Good for a sore back gotta keep it natural /
True to the source blast off with some sassafras /
Pat me on the backside / I'll remember that /
It's an oracle, omen radical now he's an old man /
And everything's hysterical /
Laugh a lot, keep the vibes high and beautiful /
It's a ritual to go and dance like an animal /
Free your inhibitions and let your fears go /
Wear funny clothes free your soul be a weirdo /
Throw your television off the roof /
Don't believe the hype propaganda that America feeds you /
They'll bamboozle your babies with that trickery /
It's time to take a stand let's cultivate the seed /
Hook
And let's dream of the day we call victory /
Over stood underneath the bridge of imaginary /
Thoughts that carry us on ward /
On to the next day breath yeah verse of a song bird /
And as it sings, you hear it unfold in the night /
Another day that we are living /
Awaken with all your might /
It might be a hard road we face at times /
Let's take away all the pain and ease our minds /
Allow the sun to shine and embrace the auspicious /
Reprogram your thoughts Where're on a Mission /
And let's dream of the day we call victory /
Over stood underneath the bridge of imaginary /
Thoughts that carry us on ward /
On to the next day breath yeah verse of a song bird /
And as it sings, you hear it unfold in the night /
Another day that we are living /
Awaken with all your might /
It might be a hard road we face at times/
Let's take away all the pain and ease our minds /
Wow yea looks at all these things /
Whoever would have been able to go and guess /
Bring me something new to the plate yea he's starving /
For what attention / No man ascension /
Oh yea he's new age /
He metamorph / with that / ahhh
Yep that is right / Rhyme with the after life /
Satellites tracking our steps infect our rights /
And if your hearing voices up inside your head /
Who was that you're wondering / Did you hear what they said /
They were speaking in a soft spoken un-know tongue /
The evolution of chosen weather to stop or run /
Rain thunder and hail never slowed me down /
I went and edited my pros and then I found /
Conversations that bound me then I broke free /
And danced till the sun was up /
Ahh yep a breath of fresh air /
An amazing way to reflect /
Cheers to another sip of some nice cold coconut milk /
That's enough to get me feeling higher than I've ever felt /
Mix it up with a little bit of green man /
Every day I'm living I'm a think about burning man /
And after hours when I love to be up on a mic /
I've got song birds singing to me while in fight /
Wild out freestyle the movement meditation its generating / Supanatural calm and composed with my phrase /
Lifestyle lean on back enjoy the road /
I'm in a daze for days now reciting these poems /
let it be known why be a clone get up and be your own /
Close your eyes and zone out but open the door /
For people that you haven't even meet yet /
But I bet, one day who knows you might even be friends /
With some one that you want to chill with this weekend /
