0ne of the GREATEST Tracks of ALL TIME. tru.

I have been sitting on this edit for about a month now. For some reason, this particular track came in my head while at work. I had this crazy idea, what if I change the time signature of the this classic tune? So I flipped the beat up and chopped the vocals to match the new beat. The vocals itself took me a month to edit for the simple fact, the song is 7 minutes and I would only do a few verses at a time because chopping in 6/8's time signature was messing with my ears a little bit and I wanted to make sure that the lyrics would sound fluid over the new beat. Also, what's so crazy about this song is that all the stuff they were talking about 30+ years ago is still relevant in today's society. 

This is the shorter version of the remix.

Lyrics:
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down (it goes)
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down (I'm up and down)
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down

Um, like a circle comes around karmas the accountant
Write your verses, hunker down and climb couple a mountains
Life's a see saw, ya gotta balance it out
Between these flaws and the talents I house
I'm adjusting to the altitude, I should have never doubted you
It's tougher towards the top, yeah it really takes it out of you
Adieu until the dew drops in the morning time
The Buddha gives me food for thought, my mental is so fortified
My pencil is immortalized all up on this track
Send someone organize my thoughts and read 'em back
Eventually I'll go outside kick back and relax
Till then I'm working overtime just kicking all these raps
Thinking too much, who, what? Yeah I got a lot of questions
No one really knows but I just like to test 'em
Yesterday was grey but today is way fluorescent
We all got ups and downs yeah I think you get the message

Down, up, I'm up and I'm down
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down (it goes)
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down

Down, up, I'm up and I'm down (I'm up and down)
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down (it goes)
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down (I'm up and down)
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down

I, I revel in accomplishments
Feet up on the ottoman, huh oh my God again
Why am I so dichotomous?
Wait up just hold on a min, please just use your common sense
Sigh, I guess I'll end up wandering
A letter to my congressman, I need a little oxygen
Hi, I'm higher than I ever been
Not from taking medicine, we're knocking will you let us in?
Bye, I'm waving like the ocean now
Did you ever notice how gravity will hold ya down?
Pi, it goes 3.14159
Huh, my memory is fine
Die, and then I am revived again
Isolate and hibernate, until I feel alive within
Try my best go self-actualize
Find a way to pass the time, I'm missing just like half a mind

Down, up, I'm up and I'm down
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down (it goes)
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down

Down, up, I'm up and I'm down (I'm up and down)
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down (it goes)
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down (I'm up and down)
Down, up, I'm up and I'm down
