Mei Saraswati

Resident songstress and beat crafter, Mei Saraswati, clearly demonstrates why she is so admired within The Community (and everywhere else) with this one.  A touch Carribean, a touch chant music, a touch griots - completely amazing.

Mei Saraswati - He Knows

can we just get by,
by ourselves? now tell me why
we're so isolated from each other
we should act with love for one another

i can see the waves in the patterns on the dress that u wear,
and i can see nobility in the way that u care,
and we will meet on the beach in the dark of the night,
let the stars multiply til the sky turns pure white,
there washes in a breeze
its calling us
to eternity

eternity

HEADPHONES. . . ? 

i was just goin about my day
when outta no where
thoughts of u rain down
outta no where
i start missing u
i was goin about my day

got nothin to smoke 
to distract me tonight
so i think i just might
take a litle day dream
and remember us again
i ain't scared no more
it doesn't hurt like before

i pushed all the feelings
like a curtain on the railings
closed the chapter
erased ever after
but tonight i'm gonna reminisce 
bout ya skin and how we used to kiss

go frank go. thank u 4 channel orange. 

goin bout my day (thinkin bout you cover)

Willow Tree - The Weapon is Sound - Mei Saraswati branch remix

pinball wormhole
thru the looking glass
blue moon hidden in my stash
ain't impossible to understand
take a toke and pass it with the left hand
and if i was cremated, transform, re-instated,
reborn, re-inflated, ignored, hot-potated, 
i'd be the same way as i am
so take a listen now
and take my hand
and let's go.

Mei Saraswati - Dash (Leon Osborn Remix)

kidnapped via time travel to yesterday,
i suspect that retrospect has taken me away.
wanna swim with the current
but the past is pulling faster than;
blurred words
gestures
flowing out my hands.
wanna mend that rip in the fabric of time,
stitch it up,
overlock,
that busted seam line.
such a...bag lady - yeah i did hurt my back
and what Badu
said was true
i need to forgive you...

and if i want i can change
but if i want i can stay the same
choose wisely

who said that this would be easy
no one ever

entrapped like an animal looking for escape,
i detect that disrespect has taken my liberties away.
wanna fly
our design is to spread our wings
upon the wind
denied
each time
so i sing
wanna record symphonies that spring from our lungs.
now chin up, raise your cup
for all the sorrow that is sung.
I got life - my boobies and my back.
Ms Simone used her bones
to amplify beautiful tones

if i want i can change
but if i want i can stay the same

choose wisely

who said....


Kidnapped via time travel

we lie because of it
we die because of it
we steal because of it
we kill because of it
we try because of it
lose our minds because of it
close our eyes because of it
we depise because of it 

ego let me go
ego let me go

i'm drowning
in a whirlpool,
ferocious with expectations
    
i don't know what is good
i dont know what could be bad
all i know
is this life is the only one that i've ever had 

ego let me go
ego let me go


let me go
let me go
let me go 
etc etc etc
