SAMURAI CHAMPLOO_part2

You all loved this track so much I decided to remaster it and clean up everything I could. This track was written on two hits of LSD and a lot of meditation—it was hard won from going deep within. I am grateful it connects!

And thank you for your support and likes!

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Big pharma, big beer, numbin’ the people,
Big men in suits—keepin’ it regal,
Politicians riggin’—keepin’ it legal,
While the Reserve prints more money under the Eagle.
The rest of us just tryin’ to thread the needle
Between gratitude and the magnitude of the history of evil.

[Bridge]
While we’re dulled by pills and pours, 
The war drums roar.

[Verse]
Always advancing the art of weaponry—
Who can marshall the most treachery?
We’re arms racin’ with no tracks—
Everyone tryin’ to stay with the pack.

We’ve been misguided, they gotta keep us divided.
I’m callin’ Putin to the Ring—
My sis and I will pin ya, then fix that broken wing.
You were too young, needin’ to swing
Fists and gigs for sovereignty—
Just tryin’ survive post-war poverty.

[Chorus]
The air is our breath, the earth our flesh—
The water is our veins, fire breakin’ all chains.
They tried to divide us, but we’re still whole—
Love is the uprising, and truth is the goal.

[Verse]
The planet’s just a ring, each flag in a corner.
I’m lookin’ from above—so… who’s the foreigner?
But all corners don’t carry the same name—
Some hold leverage, inherited claim.
Racketeering protection, spreadin’ infection,
Thrones gone wireless, dodgin’ detection,
Still buildin’ castles on silent subjection.

[Bridge]
It started at the throne—plots of earth you could own.
From deeds of arms to deeds of land,
All run by the most powerful gang.
Every crown was forged in fire—
To claim the land, or face the pyre.
 
[Chorus]
The air is our breath, the earth our flesh—
The water is our veins, fire breakin’ all chains.
They tried to divide us, but we’re still whole—
Love is the uprising, and truth is the goal.

[Verse]
The war is always for line of supply—
Who gets to live and who gets to die.
What enters our body, what enters our mind—
From ports to servers, cargo to memes,  
It ain’t just me pickin’ up on the themes.  

We sail through fiber optic seas,
Your mind the cargo, your clicks the fees.
Digital pirates takin’ bits of your soul—
New Empires hiding behind their control. 
Divided themselves, thinkin’ we won’t
Stitch the seams and rise as a whole. 

[Verse]
We’re kidnapping Earth from our children,
Buildin’ concrete kingdoms without wisdom.
Debt is energy hoarded, taxation deferred—
But the Earth ain’t ours…
We’re hers.
Yeah, the Earth ain’t ours…
We’re hers. 

[Chorus]
The air is our breath, the earth our flesh—
The water is our veins, fire breakin’ all chains.
They tried to divide us, but we’re still whole—
Love is the uprising, and truth is the goal.
(We’re hers… we’re hers…)

[Outro]
I’ve got iron mountains in my blood,
So bring on the flood.
Cause my soul is an ark, 
Always ready to embark
On an ever greater journey.

I’m lettin’ revolutions turn me
Into a warrior of love,
Drawin’ power from above…
Yeah, I’m drawin’ power from above. 
(The Earth ain’t ours… we’re hers.)
