Earth Arrow - Life Lyrics

It began with the drum, intimate, skin to skin
Rhythmic, simple then, intricate
Now add another one
Now, we got a conversation
Started common language
Then we dancin' up in the sun
For the stars, with the spirits of our
Fathers and mothers, who worked through our struggle
To recall our native tongues, syncopation, ululation
Creative innovation through blended nations
Displaced under the gun
So we pick, and we strum, and we hit
Then we pluck, then get lit
When we plug, all that in
We turn up, 'til we split, up the sound
Make it bend, make it howl, make it sin
Break the ground, with that pick
I'm talkin' solid elements and movements
New generational view shifts
Clever beds of words and better metaphors inject the rebels
With a few twists, get Anubis, roll it up, it's a new trip
But it turns out it's cyclic
Cause in that lick I found my life

I been right ever since I found my life
I been right ever since I found my life
(I found my life)
I been right ever since I found my life
I been right ever since I found my life
(Because I found my tribe)

So we sing, from movement to movement
Continually provin' the truth in
All of those old harmonies and modalities
That soul harkening to recreation
Liberation
Soul clap on de kick, go chat on de riddim
A new generation
We break yo' language up, we build our own constructs
We make it live, we make it fly, bwoi, that's too cold to touch
That's how you know it's us
First one to scream, first one to swing, first one to bump, us
Head to the bridge, vamp it again, hit on the one, us
That down beat from that Brown heat, make that crowd leap
Make that crowd sing, make that crowd swing
Make it loud please, move that's crowd's feet
Do the knowledge, we evolvin' how the crowd thinks
Merry the sounds from various styles and merry-go-round the beat
Then my mouth speaks, of the bounty of our history
I avowed mine when I found my life

I been right ever since I found my life
I been right ever since I found my life
(I found my life)
I been right ever since I found my life
I been right ever since I found my life
(Because I found my tribe)

Gon' head
Said gon' head
Well gon' head (go find your life, go find your life)
Gon' head (go find your life, go find your life)
Gon' head (go find your life, go find your life)
Gon' head (go find your life, go find your life)
