Strange Fruit Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where we gonna take you
To another place where we can elevate your mind
All The Way
Girl I'm gonna make you hit your soul
And make you feel it
Take you all the way inside
Baby
Make you move it
Make you feel it
Put your hands up in the air
And let your troubles go away
We're gonna make you feel real good inside
Ay yo, everything is everything
Love is the light of my heart
Get rid of the heavy thing
I will forever sing
Forever will bring
And never come between
The terror of life and better things
This is my medique
That lifts off the scene from
Music is my everything
We enter my kingdom
God bless
We will give you what we came to give you
Where we gonna take you to another place where we can elevate your mind
All The Way
Girl I'm gonna make you hit your soul and make you feel it
Take you all the way inside
Baby
All The Way
Make you move it
Make you feel it
Put your hands up in the air
And let your troubles go away
We're gonna make you feel real good inside
Yo, feel on this
I want to be free
How free?
Ay yo, free as can be
I want to walk the streets without all the jealousy
So what you're selling me?
Pennies for my thoughts?
Dimes for the stress?
Incense to relax this pain up in my chest?
Bless your soul
I've seen it all kid
Generation after generation we continue to fall
Give me a call if you want to talk
We're like brothers, kid
Let's build
And continue to live
All the way
All the way
All the way
All the way
Yo
This is the song of inspiration
For the many who have not experienced the ups and downs what is life and love
So many choices we can make
But what you need to do is take your time
And figure A through D
Or all of the above
To some my diction may sound foreign
No, I hope I ain't borin'
What I'm trying to do is fit your mental like a glove
In hopes that you might understand
That joy and pain go hand-in-hand
Until demandin' 'spect
When pushing comes down to a shove
So on this day
It's for you that I pray
That you will listen with you heart
And cast away the things that you have heard
So on this day
It's for you that I pray
That you will listen to my own
And hear a soul instead of just my words
Instead of just my words
Instead of just my words
All the time
We will give you what we came to give you
Where we gonna take you to another place where we can elevate your mind
All The Way
Girl I'm gonna make you hit your soul and make you feel it
Take you all the way inside
Baby
All The Way
Make you move it
Make you feel it
Put your hands up in the air
And let your troubles go away
We're gonna make you feel real good inside

I want to roam without being envious of others
So what you're selling me?
What are you offering me?
Pennies for my thoughts?
A small amount for my ideas?
Dimes for the stress?
A mere pittance for my problems?
Incense to relax this pain up in my chest?
Scented smoke to calm the discomfort I'm feeling in my torso?
Bless your soul
May God bless you
I've seen it all kid
I have observed everything, young one
Generation after generation we continue to fall
As time goes on, we persist in our missteps
Give me a call if you want to talk
Contact me if you'd like to converse
We're like brothers, kid
We're similar to siblings
Let's build
Let's create something together
All the way
Completely
This is the song of inspiration
This is a motivating tune
For the many who have not experienced the ups and downs what is life and love
For those who have never gone through the highs and lows of life or romance
So many choices we can make
We have countless options available to us
But what you need to do is take your time
You must slow down and not rush
And figure A through D
Determine the best path among numerous choices
Or all of the above
Or pick all the available selections
To some my diction may sound foreign
To certain listeners, my speech may seem unfamiliar
No, I hope I ain't borin'
I hope I'm not tedious
What I'm trying to do is fit your mental like a glove
My goal is to match my words to your thoughts perfectly
In hopes that you might understand
Hoping you will comprehend
That joy and pain go hand-in-hand
Happiness and sadness are interconnected
Until demandin' 'spect
Until you have reached a stage where you require respect
When pushing comes down to a shove
When everything reaches a critical point
So on this day
On this very day
It's for you that I pray
This prayer is for you
That you will listen with your heart
That you will pay attention with your emotions
And cast away the things that you have heard
And forget the things you have previously been told
That you will listen to my own
That you will hear what I have to say
And hear a soul instead of just my words
And hear my soul instead of just my speech
Instead of just my words
Instead of only the spoken words
All the time
Continually
