Music & Poetry
Poetry's a part of me, it flows inside and then pours out of me
Flooding the paper with all the doubts in me,
My hopes, wishes and undoubtedly the love always surrounding me
Contained within the ink that‚s soaking the tissue soundlessly.
My Heartbeat sets the speed fort he rhythm in my arteries
As it pumps the poetry I'm living with regard for the
Moments that put scars in me and conditioned me remarkably
Music is the answer to the problems that make it hard to be
Scaring me some more with their claws and teeth
And have me falling on the floor, where it ain't hard to see
Without music I couldn't get up partially
Together with the art in me, they form essential parts of me
Music and poetry, united by love,
Smoothly grow in me, showing me the pleasures there are
When I'm going through the bluest of times
Through music and rhymes I find something soothing enough to keep moving in...
Music and poetry, united by love,
Smoothly grow in me showing me the pleasures there are
When I'm going through the bluest of times
Through music and rhymes I find something soothing enough to keep moving in life.
(I keep moving in life,
I keep moving in life
So keep on moving,
Keep on moving in life)

(Through all the trials and tribulations
Always remember:
Live life, love life, live love and love love!)
Im not a nonbeliever, my religion is love
The only thing that can cure me, with the beauty it does
And truly because due to my foolishness lost
You I have, now I surely must endure what it costs
Time takes time to heal times wounds,
But my crazy mind wont let time heal mine.
June to December, do you remember
Perfume, our tune and the moon in the winter?
But the moon this winter cant break the gloom in my center,
Nevertheless love continues to bloom there,
which I adore and resume to consume
Until theres nothing more!
[Chorus:]
Live life, love life, live love, love love!
Live life, love life, live love, love love!
I could never get enough of any of the above
While Im only trying to find my peace of mind
Im never giving up on living true love!
Live life, love life, live love, love love!
I might be a heathen, believing in life
In spite the fact that I might be leaving tonight
I love life! Although always needing to fight to make things right
At least I feel free when I fight!
Its sad to see many be more dead than alive,
Headed out to find a painless existence
While the pain thats persistent in me
Is the proof that I am live this instant!
Imagine a world that doesnt hurt
The difference between pleasure and pain the same as that of dust and dirt
Its all grey and nothings worse than a colorless world
So I keep loving this girl, it brings color to my world.
[Chorus]
(Stop merely existing
and start living
and to live youve gotta love
one love!)
[Chorus]

Im the voice of the abandoned generation, screaming for help,
Abandoned by the whole nation scheming for wealth.
Im dealing with what we were dealt, feeling unwell,
Try to live with cancer as Im dreaming of health.
Im the virus in this system, infected myself
By the systems disease only wishing to ease
The hardships of life, so just listen to these words, unconditionally.
My own skin Im uncomfortable in
Ever since the age of reason Ive been bleeding within
Cause Id seen their attempts:
Grown men tried to discipline our thinking to hide their own sins
(and that way:)
Abnormal formality became formal normality,
Lost our brittle morality, cost us little mortality
Going crazy over this savagery, which bothers me.
Im getting ready for a hospitals hospitality
[2x Chorus:]
Dont give up, live up to your dreams by any means
dont get stuck in the schemes dont just
hustle for cream, theres so much more out there
just live, live up to your dreams!
So what can you do to overcome?
Turn the cold shoulder and run or wait til you get older and numb
Do what the young do: get drunk, being sober aint fun,
Plus you dont notice your problems while youre folded by rum.
But I know its only a temporary salvation!
My admiration to those that keep chasing their fate when
Fate seems to run away, on their way
To their underpayed jobs with job cuts underway
And a baby on its way, but its ok, you can make it!
When the stakes are high it can only make you greater to get by
So hold on to your dreams, dont let them get faded,
Just imagine being able to say: I made it!
Lets face it you can take life for granted or you can live it.
Just handle your business or get handled every minute by the system
And thats all there is to it dear brothers and sisters.
[2x Chorus]

We never see the big picture, surely enough
The human is a strange creature, hard to trust,
'Cause of some of its features, which I must
From interior need tell you about, for example: greed
Money and power make us fall to our knees and plead
Even deceive though we could never reach a level of sufficiency,
Its pissing me off! 'Cause it often brings jealousy along,
Theres never enough
And life is tough 'cause our reference is who was blessed,
Not who has less
So instead to give we take as if possessed
Clinging to the cake without space to digest, what an insane mess
Were stressed, depressed, got a pain in our chest,
Obsessed with checks and with whatever to buy next in excess
Nevertheless were still vexed
Never finding rest or happiness. (come on)
[Chorus:] We just need to open our eyes
'Cause we really gotta realize
That the truth is always being disguised.
Oh, the lies!
We just need to open our eyes
'Cause we really gotta realize
That the truth is always being disguised.
Oh, the lies!
We never see the big picture, surely enough
The human is a strange creature hard to trust,
'Cause of some of its features, which I must
From interior need tell you about, for example: lust
Love means nothing to us,
'Cause we just wanna bust our nuts into some sluts butt
And easily cut our relationships without hesitation if
They've become too much of a fuss, instead to adjust
And lust has even got a hold on me
Like it owns me as these unholy chickens wanna bone me,
But they show me that theyre phoney so Id rather leave em lonely
Only then Ill have to deal with being lonely again.
So be advised, open your ears and eyes
And you will realize: what I idealize is more than a plea to guys
'Cause real love is where freedom lies
Worth more than a million teasing thighs
[Chorus]
Its time to show the big picture, surely enough
Bring together this mixture of critical thoughts
As I wish for, it not to be ignored
Next time youre out the door on your way to the store
Or to some more hoes and whores, let this song be my Trojan Horse
Let it regenerate your molding cores,
No remorse, though its hard to take a new course
After years of following the wrong star its not all lost
Start by stopping to focus on the little things
Move to the bigger things, build something greater than yourself,
From peasants to little kings itll bring us then
Each one teach one, so go and tell a friend
And when you say you want to seize the day its ok,
Go ahead and seize the day
But dont forget, the big picture displayed
'Cause if you do then Im sure you and me, we will need to pay
[Chorus]

Memories (M&P Version)
03:52

It was hard trying to smile while watching you die
And saying it's gon' be alright 'cause I knew it was a lie then.
Moving your old leg, shaking the whole bed, clinging to life,
Cause you were you and all your life you had to fight!
And I wonder what you were seeing looking past me at the ceiling,
Or were you just in disbelief that you were still alive and breathing?
When you looked at me that was relieving
Cause I knew you knew I was there with you and clearly you could feel me.
Feel me near you and that was really pleasing
'Cause through me you could see how the seeds grew, which you'd been feeding,
See their achievements and what they themselves were breeding
So I held your hand waiting with you for the evening
Hoping it would bring your long desired freedom
As I saw it in your eyes you were ready to find peace then
[Chorus:]
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you!
Now that you rest in peace I wanna thank you for the memories
And all the wonderous things that you did for me
Reminiscing on the best of these in my room alone,
Don't want no one to come in stressing me, just let me be!
I need this moment of silence, in memory of you as I'm closing my eyelids
Forgetting all violence, all the hate, envy and mindwashs that blind us
Silence, beautiful like Ennio's violins
And to remember all those that defined us
That are gone let's shush and let this moment of silence bind us.
(moment of silence)
[2x Chorus]
