Hey man, love your bass playing! I've collabed with Ian and am in a band with Stephen. Love this song, too, man. Very Beasties/MMW/hip hop sound to your riff. Awesome contribution, man!

Thanks i really appreciate it. I came up with that riff playing along to a drum beat. I talked to Stephen about adding guitar and asking around to see if anyone wanted to add lyrics/vocals. I was thrilled when i heard Ian’s vocal track

Great job on this brother !  That bass line is the anchor on this thing.  Sounds great !

Originally, this song was going to be an instrumental since I only had the bass riff. However, after my buddy TexMex Shaman added the drum beat and guitar we sent it to IPG1 to listen and maybe come up with some lyrics. I am sure glad we did. I love the lyrics and how it turned out. Peace!

Lyrics:
I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy
life is never duty free —-there really —-is no certainty
Is voters rights reality —-or just another fantasy
poverty’s the enemy ——revise the current policy

Let’s Pool our talents together ——and move forward in a big way
the difference between giant steps and ———-Child’s play
night and day —-the price we pay
it’s gotta be—-what the people want —-not what the politicians says
—-I’m not a biblical man—-a man of principle—-I am
I believe in good and evil —and that energy is divine
Is it a chance or a miracle ——of being who I am ———
who’ll guide and protect you
Too many gods to kneel to ——
So many beliefs to cling to——what’s true?
who do you have to save you
Is the miracle within you —-clever but ————truth——-ful
God work is never done —-we’re never in ———-ne——utral
These are life’s lesson————enter the teacher ———exit the pupil

take my blessings when I can———-my lessons——- from who I am
This divine spark of energy ———is it chaos——or life‘s plan
Is faith—the path ——or journey—-taken by anyone who can
no good or evil theory just the fact that I am is all I need to guide me
————no spoken word or prophecy
The challenge ——just to stay free—- victory over enemies
The past is all history—wars—-brutality—- blasphemy
the suffering —-the agony—-the cruelty—-the tragedy

Chorus

I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy
life is never duty free —-there really is no certainty
Is voters rights reality —-or just another fantasy
poverty's the eneymy--revise the current policy
