Her
02:11

Older women talk to me with sunshine in their eyes.
Am I just a reflection of you?
Colder women, gawk at me.
I hope you realize:
I may not look a fighter,
when fire ignites inside her,
ensure she ain't no victim,
'cause sure she can condemn him
since protection isn't only found inside used condoms!
Bolder women lock me in
I'm guilty for their time
reminding me that I must stand tall.
Your shoulder pads, your trouser suits
they're tailored to their prime.
Imagine what if Tuesday wasn't your nightmare
Imagine what if Tuesday wasn't a nightmare after all....
Oh my eyes have grown accustomed to the horror,
against the whiteness all these headlines tend to blur.
I am a Jew genetically anxious in courage,
no doubt my great-great grandma Birdy knows
I'm With Her.
And I might cry,
Oh please don't pry!
I'm a lady, that's my kind.
Appreciate the part of her that is not me 'cause when a woman admires a woman she is demonstrating the ultimate foundation for peace.

Geronimo
02:45

One by one they go away
Their footprints dust like sand
They never stay, they never stay
Where do they go?
He yelled Geronimo as he fell from the sky
It was 70 years ago, he's still a helluva guy
Saving his own life in exchange for four future wives
A soldier born to Zion even though his face is Polish & white
Oh, the people I've gotten to know...
He fasted at Guantanamo,
they force-fed food down his throat
In silence, he can overthrow
his leaders if he just gloats
Braving away his own line in devotion to the divine
The good becomes the bad guy when your movement leaves you behind
Oh, the people I'll never know...

Parasites
02:20

|
Emotional money coming every which way...
these days have blended in a shambled disarray.
Boy came to our door this morning begging for some mercy...
But tell me, how do you make peace when one side's truly thirsty?
Parasites keep him up at night blessings turn from words to swords!
What will happen when he dies and I cannot afford
the life he granted she & me from better times before?
Have one on me, Daddy
I'm with you.

The Letter
02:23

I'm not ready to see you
I'm not ready to see you, doll
Looks like I need to configure
how I see you, that's all
I need a chance to define myself
apart from who you think I am
Yeah, I know you heard that I was
in New York but lady,
I need--
Do you give a damn about my feelings?
Yeah, I know you think you do.
Do you give damn?
I know you're seething.
Will my music or my words ever do?
Oh, do you give a damn, do you give a damn?
Do you give a damn, do you give a damn?
Do you give a damn, do you give a damn?
You know that there are all these people around my face
and they don't even know how to dance
around the fact we must say what we mean!
And I know you're longing for another chance to prove you
LOVE (ME)
And I know your somber sorrows are pure...
Yeah, I know you miss me--that is for sure
You know I'm dying for this demo
to show you how I'm feeling
but I can't speak to you until I write this song:
Because the rhythm is how I love you lady
words are just the truth.
Yeah, this rhythm is how I feel about you lately.
Yeah, I meant to send that letter.
Don't know how to sign off e-mails neither.
Just need a chance to speak my mind
'cause I need time...

Too Many Spliffs

Too many spliffs we've split to hit
I missed your spit I must admit
I kissed you once & now well, shit
I'm coming down...
We never happened, my friend
We ended before we began
Too many spliffs we've split to hit
I missed your spit I must admit
I kissed you once & now well, shit
I'm coming down...
If tobacco couldn't do it,
it's no wonder we're no longer.
Sorry for the precedent,
I didn't want a brother.
Commonly, after dark we'd sneak out to
push our lives aside so we could intimately smoke weed.
Committed to our limits so all we could do is get lit
Furious in love with idea that we might fit.
Pretending is the drapery that keeps us from what's out there
I was using too so I will no blame you to be fair.
Like we never happened, my friend
We ended before we began!
Too many spliffs we've split to hit
I missed your spit I must admit
I kissed you once & now well, shit
I'm coming down...

Hunny for the new year
Vinegar for the blue year
Next time we see you
it's gonna be your true year
A time to grow, a place to be
Maybe in snow or perhaps by the sea with me
Grow your mind, stretch your limbs
Pardon your mistakes, forget your sins
Master everything
Because all is fair in love & hair
You got a head-full, Brother Bear
All is fair in love & hair,
you got a head-full, Brother Bear
When all that's left to breathe is air,
take it all in, come back and share
Hunny for the new year
Vinegar for the blue year
Next time we see you
Next time we see you...
Next time we see you it's gonna be your true year
Stretch your mind, grow your limbs
Honor your mistakes, protect your sins
