(ten the ambidextrous)
All the obstacles are mythological (psychological)
hard to swallow so philosophical
mostly metaphor analogical
hermeneutic interview with the truth as you view it
and as soon as you see through it 
it's no longer soothing to you and
it's somewhat confusing and bruising 
to both pride and the drive to provide 
for your life and you wonder why
but disillusionment isn't foolish when
it leads you into improvement
and that's the movement

we the community
and that's the movement
we takin back the streets
and that's the movement
the biggest gang is the police
and that's the movement

(IZK)
So to speak this
 is smoking weed
For those that need
 a new approach to things
Like it’s supposed to be
 these dopemines mean dope to me
Gmo codes on my groceries
 it’s a smokescreen
They got a whole team 
to reprogram all your proteins
If you do stay then you won’t leave
Meditate til my nosebleed
At heaven’s gate like woe is me
Don’t ever underestimate humanity
Hiphop takin shots at hypocrisy 
I work in the fields I am not the king
Ancestors over aristocracies
Opposite of twitter don’t follow me
Find your own way as a community 
stop confusing me

everybody gets to eat
and that's the movement
politicians stop and think
and that's the movement
education in the street
and that's the movement

(Brenian Swift)
Be looking down at the earth
So powder blue
Yeah feeling cuckoo 
like the one flew
Soaring high 
Above Cloud City so high
With a shit-eating grin 
And a gleam in my eye
Where nothing is really 
What it seems to be 
And if it don't feel pain 
It ain't real to me 
From Salvador Dali 
To the Dalai Lama 
Yeah we looking for some freedom 
And peace in this drama 
We separate 
Just to reintegrate 
And continue to skate 
In a figure eight 
Coming in and out
Out and in 
A revolving door 
That continues to spin 
Hello,Goodbye 
You live and then you die 
So damn fast 
You never stop to think why 
I did not live 
I did not breathe 
As your very last breath
Floats away on a breeze 

Life, love and liberty 
And that's the movement 
No to hypocrisy
And that's the movement 
No cops clocking me 
And that's the movement

(Al Lyrical)
We, the people, and that's the movement
i phase the old, and that's the new shit
can't survive without love, do you want me to prove it
i got a handful of marbles and i'm waiting to lose it
funk with the felonies ready to fuse it
on the 1's and 3's you can come as you please
try it once and you leave take your heart off your sleeve
just let them smart offs believe that they hurt you with deceit 
then you serve him fake emcee, 
and take him up off of his feet
i'm like jerk work well with the bird or the beef 
here to herd all the sheep like a wolf with the weak 
here's the word from the meek
it don't matter however hard you seek
you could never ever do this here
and that's the true shit, on the movement 
fuck the empire hit it with a structure fire
that's just to start shit
wrong place wrong time 
end up a target
hit record and retort
then depart and report it
letting up? can't afford it
gotta keep it movin 
til we get the shit sorted 
and that's the movement

we the community
and that's the movement
we takin back the streets
and that's the movement
the biggest gang is the police
and that's the movement

Song for Bill, alt version.

2 hands 2 pots, both in something sticky

bitch you better stick

boys are for the lonely
girls are for the horny
blues are for the babies
so i guess ill stick to sucking my thumb

boys are only faithful, when im f@*king around
and girls are only tasteful, when they're paid to make that sound
so bitch you better stick to blues

converse on the wire, ill take that as my cue
hey new girl, dont you come around here, or my boys'll be after you
cause this is my meth block, and bitch you better take a walk
cause bitch i know you saw them god damn shoes
and bitch you better stick, better stick to blues

(Written by Pamela Des Barres)

In my all-encompassing adoration of music, I’ve always been a man’s lady for the most part, probably because I came of age during the transcendent 60s when madcap genius madmen were becoming myths overnight. A tumultuous decade when Dylan turned rock and roll into cuisine for deep thought and George Harrison taught us to turn on, tune in and wake up. A few femmes have banged my gong through the years – Janis, of course, Chrissie, Patty Griffin, Lucinda -- and recently I was introduced to another female whose praises I can gladly sing -- a self- aware, tousled platinum blond wildchild, Sie Sie Benhoff. She’s about to release her first full-length album, crammed with feisty fearless self-reflection, beaten up by love but unbroken, wanton, woozy hot-tempered tunes, recorded live in three days in Brooklyn, NY. A Texas transplant, now residing in east Hipsville, L.A. Sie Sie has been singing most of her life, started speaking in tongues at age two and stopped playing it safe a long time ago. “I just came out of the vagina singing,” Sie Sie tells me in her raspy drawl, “I never really had any choice in the matter. It’s my outlet, which often isn’t fun, but it has to come out some kind of way. I consider my songs redemption songs.” Raised all over the world with her missionary Pentecostal parents, Sie Sie sang the gospel until age 17 when she realized the people in West Africa didn’t need saving. “I closed my eyes and sang the universal word, Hallelujah for about fifteen minutes straight, and when I looked up I saw everyone in the tent with their faces on the ground. I had an awakening moment you could call a denouncement of my faith. They were fine before I got there! I was done.” Despite the promise of hellfire damnation, Sie Sie set her own course, dove
into the deep end for awhile, and is now releasing her anger and angst through her music. “I was too crazy. I sometimes say to myself, ‘OK bitch, cool. Take it easy!’ The first record I ever heard was Dylan’s Slow Train Coming. Just recently I realized how it really shaped me. I’ve been praying again, ‘please get me out of bed.’ The good news is now I feel I have a purpose. I know what is truly
important to me; I have an ability to provoke emotion, and helping
people feel is my main objective.” Veering from a throaty howl to little girl longing, Sie Sie pleads, demands, cajoles, and admits she’s “off her rocker,” with aching old soul aplomb and unfettered awareness. Americana/gospel/rock, whatever you decide to call her music, Sie Sie’s songs will crack your heart open wide and maybe even heal it. “I just never hold back,” Sie Sie says, “My boyfriends tell me to tone it down. ‘I like it when you’re a little more modest.’ Baby, that's not me. Sometimes I’m bleeding and I feel that thing – I’m bloodthirsty, so watch out. "
