"We're Not Alone"

Sat Jul 4, 2009, 10:37 PM
[Mykel]
Where there's life, there is water
We depend on mama nature
There's a message for tomorrow
Everything connects to you
Some says soon there will be over,
You can see it in the weather
Out of tune with mama nature
What you do comes back to you

We're not alone,
We're not alone
We're not alone,
We're not alone

[Nas]
Confucius, Confucius
Sigmund Freud
And Fard Muhammad,
Is it evolution or God?
Searching for the truth is a threat
Seems the closer we get to the truth
State troopers and FEDs come out to silence you
My house in Malibu probably tapped
Because living next door to Demi Moore
Plus, I'm black,
Plus, I want vengeance for the poor
Who's attacked daily
Patriot Act never scared me
Jake in the Taurus
Sticky in the jar-s,
Niggas I'm with got warrants
America's browning,
Twenty years from now
Every town will be brown and Latin,
Or African, look at Manhattan
I'ma tell you what I seen with my three eyes
Word to me, not a hoax, back in '99
A spacecraft in the skyline,
In L.A., in daytime, ask Horse if I'm lying

[Mykel]
Every mother, every father
Raise your sons and your daughters
With respect and with honor
From the seed comes the fruit
It's an unbroken circle,
All of life is universal
And we're all in the struggle
If I know one thing is true

We're not alone,
We're not alone
We're not alone,
We're not alone

[Nas]
Evidence remains in debate,
Documents of our own Air Force base
Additional terrestrial information
Other planets with life population
My observation
Scientists study pictures of a flying disc
Right on earth, anthropologists are finding shit
Visitors, probably live with us,
They can mimic us
It's sort of what we seeing in the cinemas

[Mykel]
Take a look in the mirror,
And see the bigger picture
It's good to be alive,
It's good to be alive
Nobody is an island,
We are part of an environment
Only way we gonna survive
Is if we harmonize

We're not alone,
We're not alone
We're not alone,
We're not alone

[Nas]
Reginald Lewis,
The black billionaire
Before Oprah or Bob Johnson
How'd he disappear?
Conspiracy theories, UFO's in the air
I've seen it with my own two eyes
And I swear, it's like Warren Buffet
Real money I'm just trying to touch it
The diamond-encrusted shit, live illustrious
'Cause we was deprived of it, suffered
Now we pop to prove anything's possible
My pimp strut was invented when they whipped us
Now we diddy-bop just to show you that our strength's up
Just when niggas about to see they cut
Global warming about to burn us up
Niggas never really seen paper in this world
American black's the teenager of this world
Give us twenty more years to grow up,
Already geniuses; what I mean is this
I used to worship a certain Queens police murderer
'Til I read the words of Ivan van Sertima
He inserted something in me that made me feel worthier
Now I spit revolution
I'm his hood interpreter

[Mykel]
Take a look in the mirror,
And see the bigger picture
Its good to be alive,
Its good to be alive
Nobody is an island,
We are part of an environment
Only way we are gonna survive,
Is if we harmonize

We're not alone,
We're not alone
We're not alone,
We're not alone

[Nas]
I'm American born. I love America.
Love my people, love all mankind
All nationalities.
I think it's just recently,
Where everybody just started to feel like
There was an elite group that runs everything,
And everybody else was sheep, ignorant
Making all ethnicities colors and creeds niggers,
Blind to what really is going on.
So I say take off the wool from your eyes,
Out with the Old America, in with the New.
End all racism, all injustice, all oppression, to poor people,
Any people, anywhere on this planet.
Let's come together.
A new day is rising.


-Nas, Mykel

"Nightmare. That's what I am. America's nightmare. I am what you made me: the hate and the evil that you gave me. I shine as a reminder of what you have done to my people for 400 plus years. You should be scared. You should be running. You should be trying to silence me." -2Pac

I'm not an American citizen. I'm not black. I'm Chinese by birth and by nationality. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that I believe in the basic freedoms of all mankind. I especially believe that no people should have their voices taken away or suppressed. I also believe that the earth isn't made for one nation to rule alone.

Happy birthday, America. May you prosper on in glory.

One Peace, One Love.

Man, I got to give you props. That's cool you were born in China. Even though you're not an American citizen, that shouldn't matter in anyone's eyes. We all have the right to live anywhere we want, as long as we don't infringe upon anyone's rights. Keep up the good writing. You have a wide range of writing abilities, and your freestyle poem exemplified that. Keep up the good work, man.
:iconswords-and-bandages:
Thank you.

Sometimes, I get to thinking; what is it all worth if nobody ever listens to you or reads what you write? Words like yours tell me to keep going, and not to worry about it.

Best wishes, my friend.
