Too late, too slow

22 abr 2010

Too late, the word is already in your mouth.
I can hear it coming out towards me.

Shut up. I don’t want to hear a single word.
That song you’re singing, it’s so old, it’s so old.
I’m not ignoring you.
I’m just not around no more.

Too late.
Too slow.
You give a little life away, taking your love away.

Wait…Did you tell me to fight the power,
Then go and call me a coward?
Wait…
Hey, if I’m the one that wants to stay
Then why I got my suitcase packed this way?
I’m not ignoring you.
I’m just not around no more.

Too late.
Too slow.
You give a little life away, taking your love away.

New life, don’t you turn your back on me.
I’m not from around here, you see.
Cover me.
Champion, you can wake up holy, whole
If you take your punches, I’ve been told.
I’ve been told.

Too late.
Too slow.
You give a little life away, taking your love away.

(Shout Out Louds)

I Ain’t Movin’

11 abr 2010

“Time is much too short to be living somebody elses life
I walk with dignity, I step with pride
Cuz’ I ain’t movin from my face, from my race, from my history…
I ain’t movin from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me…
Loving self can be so hard
Honesty can be demanding
Learn to love yourself it’s a great, great felling…”
(Des’ree – I Ain’t Movin’)
