Metamorphosis Lyrics: Holistic Hiphop

It's the...year of the Octopus
HEY!
Coming live with the mind well-trained,
Heartcore from the rib-cage,
In the competitive coral of urban landscape.
Ribs open...like petals of a lotus,
...flicks of tentacle tips, Metamorphosis.

Yeah, they call me Homage,
and I'll rock this mic like a mob stoning a prophet.
And one day we'll all we shamans,
So forget what you think about Barrack Obama,
We'll all answer directly to the Goddess,
And credit-card debt will pale to a dark conscience.

So take what you want, decide whether to use this,
Call it what you want, even if not music.
The truth is, it's right now, right here,
From the ground to the fruit in the millenial year.

It's the first return that we've changed gears,
Of the Earth: it's Holistic Hiphop for the ears.

I've spent years, teaching the children,
Like public schools of fish in government buildings,
And now it's family business from the beats to the rhymes,
And like an "on" switch, we represent the light,
With Halfrican Cracker blood in us,
From Marley, Malcolm X, and Iginla,
From the cradle of Africa to the island of Guinness,
It's all home-brewed in the caccoon so get lifted!

And let's leave all dogma thoughts,
So when we pray, let's not pray to a placebo God,
And with that, I'll close with a Shakespearean clause:

"If music is the food of love, play on!"
