I Wanna Believe

Here is the new Ayla Nereo remix. I took it the extra length and wrote 2 verses for it. along with live Mrdanga and Harmonium.. and some digital magic here and there.

 I had the pleasure of seeing @ThePolishAmbassador and @Ayla-Nereo perform this live at LIB and Gratifly. This remix and lyrics are an offering of gratitude to all that they do. And to continue to inspire us towards positive creations... Blessings and Love

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Holding my ear..
Close to the ground
Keeping it near..
Feel it shake and vibrate
Curving my fear
into the lane of love.
Out of the box.
Keeping it clear...
Minded..
Thoughts get fast forward and rewinded..
Surrender to hearts shining...
Homeland reminded...
Of A place timeless..
You are unique..
But the same like gold and silence...
Who sent you...
So curious.. Your potential..
Sincerity connects you..
Mother protects you...
A Thousand arms collect you.

Verse 2
from the ground up..
Call it in.. then we round up..
the decimals.. until its whole.. and we found what..
we reach for..
Is the sky where the clouds touch 
.. at the core here the sounds of..
the cries of a divine battallion..
See from the eyes of..
The falcons... uh..
The birds eye view..
The light shines through
Just enough to find you.
A bright divine design. .
I like it Times 2
Here to remind you..
Nothing confines you...
Time to fly the coop
Living by default..
Now it's time we choose
as we take our thoughts 
way beyond the roof...
Into new galaxies into..new dimensions.. 
cosmic selections... sacred connections..
songs of redemptions.. your recollection .. 
of your reflection.. 
 of the eternal

Ayla Nereo - From The Ground Up (Srikala Remix)

SEEDS

my brother lives in a jungle concrete
like a belly gone to rumbling
only wants a taste of the sky
wind and fire, setting the seeds
for the son of his son come with him
one day to come
my sister her hands are raised
for the stakes are high and she knows it
and i am singing for her vision
singing for her vision

this is not mere speech
all we seek is here where we stand and
shape as clay, turning tides dug deep and
wider still to hold what comes
and wider still to say

we'll never be moved from here
our lives will live in the seeds we've sown
calling what's coming clear
our will is held in the gardens we've grown
as light from the sun we can give
as rivers meeting can become one
walk toward the call of this
and plant it deep for the ones to come

one day
none shall be imprisoned
for tending the land
for feeding our children
one day
we will cherish the soil
valued more than gold
its value more than gold

one day our hands will raise
for the way we walk and how we own it
and i am singing for this vision
singing for this vision

(Vocal polyphony)

this is not mere speech
all we seek is here where we stand and
shape as clay, turning tides dug deep and
wider still to hold what comes
and wider still to say

we'll never be moved from here
our lives will live in the gardens we've grown
calling what's coming clear
our will is held in the seeds we've sown
as light from the sun we can give
as rivers meeting can become one
walk toward the call of this
and plant it deep for the ones to come

my brother live in a jungle concrete
like a belly gone to rumbling
only wants a taste of the sky
wind and fire, setting the seeds
for the son of his son to
come with him one day
taste the roots he was born from
pass him the story how all
hands came together as
one

Bee Born - Beloved One

Never too Late
copyright Amae Love 2016 all rights resereved

coulda shoudla woulda, never did help me
i've cried i've denied but now i'm just tryin' to get healthy
my mind drive me crazy thinkin' of all that i could've done
what could have been waiting back when i was eighteen or twenty one

my voice it breaks in my throat i won't sing a note 
till i give up my hold on my fear and surrender
i die to my lies i run to the cries from my soul to remember 
that it's now or never..
but it's never too late,
 to make a break
to shake that the weight off and fly
so i do it for love
i do it for all that is sacred to me
cuz it's never too late
to change your fate
to give your dreams a new life
and it's never too late
to late to try

this life had seemed to through my fingers like grains of sand
got me lost in a dream till i finally woke up to who i am
there's so many talented people who never do get their shot
so there's no way that i'm gonna to give up till i give it all i've got

opportunities passed, that may never come back
did i step off my path, and get lost in confusion?
there's no way to know, now its time to let go,
just get on with the show and burn down the illusion

that it's ever too late to make a break
to shake that weight off and fly
so i do it for love
i do it for all that is sacred to me
cuz it's never too late
to change your fate
to give your dreams a new life
never too late
to late to try

well i'm tired of excuses, i've got only myself to blame
the truth is so elusive its useless, losing at my own game
still i get frustrated sometimes when i get caught up in my mind
i was born to be creative all i gotta do is let in the light 
and shine and shine and shine.....
and SHINE!
cuz it's never too, never too, never too late

never too late to make a break
to shake that weight off and fly
so just do it for love
do it for all that is sacred to you
cuz it's never too late
to change your fate
to give your dreams a new life
never too late
to late to FLY!!
oh no no no.....

Awakening

This is remix is an ode to all those hurt by the prison industrial system of the United States, and is dedicated towards transforming the "eye for an eye" retributive justice model towards a restorative justice model - one that strengthens, rather than fractures, communities. 

This remix is based off of two recordings: Rising Appalachia's "Spirit's Cradle" and a reading by the great, late poet Etheridge Knight. "Apology for Apostasy" was one of many poems that Knight wrote while incarcerated, which were originally published in the collection "Poems from Prison." His poems bear witness to the resiliency of the creative spirit. Leah Song, of Rising Appalachia, has been a long time advocate of criminal justice reform and is involved in projects that bring yoga, song and mindfulness into prisons.

Spirit's Cradle

Climbing PoeTree harnesses creativity as the antidote to destruction through their award-winning poetry, boundary-breaking music, and multimedia hip hop. Co-creators Alixa Garcia and Naima Penniman have independently organized more than 30 national and international tours, taking their work from South Africa to Cuba, the UK to Mexico, and throughout the U.S. including 11,000 miles toured on a bus converted to run on recycled vegetable oil.

Climbing PoeTree has stirred crowds at diverse venues from the Brooklyn Academy of Music to the United Nations, Harvard University to Rikers Island Prison. They have been featured alongside powerhouses such as Alicia Keys, Erykah Badu, Little Dragon, Talib Kweli, Goapele, Rising Appalachia, T.I., Dead Prez, and Angela Davis, who writes:

"Each time I have the pleasure of attending a performance by Climbing PoeTree, I feel
enriched, renewed, and inspired. Alixa and Naima insist that poetry can change the world—and it is true that the urgency, power and beauty of their words impel us to keep striving for the radical futures toward which they gesture."
