INTRO

Sometimes when I’m walking and a man looks at me

I think of all the ways I could make him bleed

I would dig my key into his eye

I’d crack his teeth, liver and spleen

V1

My brother died when I was eight

He turned blue and yellow at three months of age

One night I dug at the grave

his small crate freshly laid

CHORUS

Terror, Terror

Knows me by name

Terror, Terror

Now lives in the day

V2
I was thirteen when I got fucked and bled all over the sheets

I fled to the laundry , house nigga make em’ white and clean

He whistled me from darkness, he churned my pussy cream

Now I’m pissing and praying, cum outta me

CHORUS

BRIDGE

He knows, me by name,

He lives, in my everyday

CHORUS

V1

Queer back in highschool

Dressing up in pink, purple, and blue

Playing in mud wearing tutus

The princess should never jump from her tower

CHORUS

I wanna peg Eminem

I wanna be feminine

I wanna wear my Prada and Gabbana and Chanel

bike the road to hell

Kill the show and sell

Fuck em' all, women and men.

V2

CHORUS

I wanna peg Eminem

I wanna be feminine

I wanna wear my Prada and Gabbana and Chanel

bike the road to hell

Kill the show and sell

Fuck em' all, women and men.

Now this song is about a man named Lewis.

Lewis H. Michaux to be exact.

Now Lewis owned a little bookstore in Harlem,

And one day while he was sitting in his bookstore,

Some black boys came in with their fists up screaming, “black power black power!”.

He said, look sons I’d like to straighten you out.

He said, black is beautiful but black ain’t power,

Knowledge is power, sons.

CHORUS

Cuz you can be as black as a crow,

You can be as white as snow,

But if you don’t know,

And you ain’t got no dough,

You can’t go and that’s for sho’.

V2

Now Lewis also said that when the white man landed here he brought two weapons

One was the bible and the other was the gun

If he didn’t humble you with the Bible,

He crumbled you with the gun.

And they’re still praising the Lord,

And passing ammunition all over the world.

CHORUS

Cuz you can be as black as a crow,

You can be as white as snow,

But if you don’t know,

And you ain’t got no dough,

You can’t go and that’s for sho’.

V3

So as I was listening to Lewis’ words,

I thought a couple of my own:

The human collective strives to be connected

Our minds strive the respect of intellect

Our souls; no regret

Our bodies; the joy of no neglect.

We are constrained by societal norms,

Born with individuality to only conform,

And the cycle goes on in sync.

So I think what Lewis is trying to say here is,

Live life, love life, and be smart.

Take your piece, don’t play your part.

CHORUS

Cuz you can be as black as a crow,

You can be as white as snow,

But if you don’t know,

And you ain’t got no dough,

You can’t go and that’s for sho’.

V1

Daveed do you know what your name means?

Zion is the place where earth and heaven meet.

There's a time for war

And there's a time for peace

Brother, I want you to know bravery

Through me

CHORUS

Let your feet be led by the grass, sand and sea

Let your heart be led by your soul and you will see

the strength of a tempered heart.

the strength of a tempered heart

V2

Daveed, I want you to know love, fearless love

Zion, I want you to know freedom

Stand, stretch your hand

And beauty will embrace you

Brother I want you to know honesty

Through me

CHORUS 2

So I'm letting my feet be led by the grass, sand and sea

I'm letting my heart be led by my soul so I will see

the strength of a tempered heart

the strength of a tempered heart

the strength of a tempered heart

the strength of a tempered heart

V1

Estuvimos en Escocia

cuando él parecía feliz.

Me pude ver allí en esa

tierna y escarpada tierra.

Pero sabía que mi corazón pertenecía

en Granada…

V2

Nací en Estados Unidos, pero

mi abuelo es de Escocia y

mi abuela es de España

y me pregunto si sienten lo que yo siento hoy.

en Granada…

BRIDGE

Jurame

Abrazame en Escocia

pero besame

en Granada…

We were in Scotland

When he looked happiest.

I could see my life there

In that tender and rugged land

But I knew my heart belonged

en Granada...

V2

I was born in America but

My grandfather is from Scotland and

My grandmother is from Spain.

And I wonder if they felt what I feel today.

And let’s turn you

into two

CHORUS

Let’s get your hair did

Let's get you credit

Let me buy you

A new

Attitude

She was perfectly perfumed

so dogs and fools would follow.

She found ecstasy in stealing time:

The greatest piracy.

O and her fucking dog, her picket fence,

her pool, her married parents, her mowed grass.

I never felt I was good enough.

She never thought I was either.

Just enough to fuck her

once in a while.

And then there was the second

lady of the head.

She was a vision of Vienna

with her love handles and breasts.

O My Salvation Army suzanne!

My goodwill pack rat.

You were a tarot card hippie tease.

But thanks for sharing all your weed.

Then there was the third

O I thought she must be the one.

Hardly a hidden treasure.

A leftover from a faded era.

With her cheap, dirty crystals,

and tacky wooden mules.

To think I took you to my sacred hotel.

To think you were my muse.

Good thing I didn’t write any songs

about your ugly clogs.

You thought everything was beautiful.

Well it ain’t, art therapy degree.

And your beliefs were part of the lost and found junk

you lugged around in your olive green satin purse.

You thought you were so down to earth

with your barefoot feet.

Fuck I loved her feet.

They were tattooed and so delicate.

O heartbeat

of my imagination,

O moonlit illusion,

I hear your call.

I want to harmonize.

I want to drown.

I want to die.

V1

Once they let the ship to burn

Once they let the mast to light

Once they had a hold on me

Once they led the way for you

V2

I love you like this house on fire

I wish it were a dark nightmare

I wish for lighter melodies

That lead us on away

CHORUS

Hunger, hunger, look at how the hunger moves

Hunger, hunger, drives me in my love for you

V3

Where they meet down in the valley

Where both cannot be fed

So it was made to seem to us

So the captain said

V4

There you took me in my love

There you proved them wrong

And with every wedge they drive between

Stronger grow my arms

CHORUS

Hunger, hunger, look at how the hunger moves

Hunger, hunger, drives me in my love for you

V5

Love that sailed a thousand miles

Met it with a deadly foe

A little drop of poison

From a father to a son

CHORUS

Hunger, hunger, look at how the hunger moves

Hunger, hunger, drives me in my love for you

V1

Pick a stone from the sea

color fading in the heat

So the sand swims around me

V2

I know the sound of waves so well

Echoes of the womb

Like my mother knows my heartbeat

CHORUS

One side on the ocean

The other on the bay

the space in between

is where I remain

Forever an island

Always alone

Interlude

V3

Am I caught in a spell

standing within the dunes

winter in my bones again

V4

As wampum

or sea glass

Sorrow washes upon my shore

CHORUS

One side on the ocean

The other on the bay

the space in between

is where I remain

Forever an island

Always alone

Always Alone

V1

Joy Raining, Hope Singing

Been Broken, Still Giving

Lone Traveler you’ll find a home soon

V2

Faith guiding, Strength rising

Been fightin', Still believing

Lone sister, you'll find your road soon.

V3

Love Growing, Earth Shaking

Wild Flaming, Hearts Beating

Lone Leader, You'll find your peace soon.

V4

Truth Telling, Mind Shifting

Bright Shining, Star Dancing

Lone Child, You'll find a friend soon.
