Rapsody in Blue Period Era - LaMichael on the hook! This is probably the first song we did in Pro Tools. Awesome, thoughtful rhymes. Neato music. Originally I had a Dali Lama sample but I wasn't going to try to clear that one.
lyrics
REDVOID
abstract Picasso, aleatory
pull apart reality, reduction of complexity
in fundamental shapes, and modulated waveforms
this is how my blue period era was born
meditation contemplation introspection deep conviction
absolution and prayer
evoke the sleeping god within, from innate slumber
divine wonder wakes action and emotes the infinite
pathos my empathy cry for brutality
destroy the poverty oppressing humanity
promote divinity dignity thought put into motion
like an ocean overtake like a tsunami
evil doers cry for their mommy
self actualize sweep ignorance read some Murakami
fairness must exist in a global economy
charity my bliss meditate this on your tatami
Bob Marley wanted freedom first then peace
controlled masses want escape release
from the stocks and bonds and chains that bind
strings pulled by the man behind the Oz like money shrine
power and control are in flux
freedom is inside, the mind is the crux
of the fulcrum that leverages the freedom of the soul
monks compassion true nonviolence no harm I'm on a roll
maximize the intellect, artistry the onset
of acting out the higher consciousness that we build upon
Renaissance towers of endeavor, now to forever
progress to higher heights of culture getting clever
history foundations, solve your equations
the purpose of existence, mindset for all occasions
expressionistic dialog opens up my chakras
my motive is dharma, fully aware of my karma
dis-
believer in teachers of math who define
heaven is seven squared that's not a forty-nine
Life without emotion - isn’t, pleasant
feelers are kings, others peasants
No fear of beers, steers, queers
Ignorant thoughts, what I steer clear
paint on life’s canvas, the Art of Happiness
Salvador-Dali-Lama never feelin' repressed
refreshed with Crest, confess from the chest
the path that's best is inside the vest
here to find my own way, not to suffer,
feel no fear, only cheer, inside my buffer
ignore fight or flights, ignorance is night
never let negatives negate things bright
thoughts in my brain numbered by myri-id
This… is.. my.. rap…sody in blue period
Everyday 'Feels So Good' like Mangione
with belly full of cheese and macaroni
lift weight from peeps, leap faith in single bounds
know no bound, not be bound, read books bound
that expound the sound of one hand clapping
take time for napping, laughing, rapping, ass slapping,
yourself keep lapping, brothers keep dapping
dance like Re-run from What’s Happening
Choose attitudes, moods of positivity
Redvoid, four nine, dudes of creativity
label me a freak turning the other cheek
from those who reek of evil at it's peak
give love to cousins, fam of all sizes, alignments,
thinking patterns, show refinement not confinement
thoughts in my brain numbered by myri-id
This… is.. my.. rap…sody in blue period
