Topic: The Day

If there's anything to learn
From watching a city burn
Is that we yearn
As we await our turn
But who is to say
That when that day will come
That we ain't the ones that they gon' run from

Every time we hear
Exhaling all the fear
As they cheer
Over meaningless victories
Ignoring all the needs
Never standing still
I'mma redefine some things
So I can keep on building

I know we gonna see the day
Its gonna be OK
So I'll let go of all my walls and troubles for today
I know we gonna see the day
I know I'm not the only one (2x)

There are many times when I sit back and contemplate
Twisting, switching to that introverted state
Renew my view on things
Time won't stand still
Makes it hard to find some time to kill

If its really all that easy to deceive you or me
Than tell me why can it be
See, there is a better way, yeah
I still travel in my mind and I can see the day yeah

I know we gonna see the day
Its gonna be OK
So I'll let go of all my walls and troubles for today
I know we gonna see the day
I know I'm not the only one

Yeah, I'mma put my name on it
I'mma put my soul on it
I'mma put my heart in it
I'mma put my life on it
I'mma put my heart in it
I'mma put my name on it
I'mma put my soul in it 

I know we gonna see the day
Its gonna be OK
So I'll let go
Yes I know we gonna see the day
Gonna see the day

We gonna see the day (3x)

Re: The Day

I liked the lyrics better

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Lyrics Pete Philly - What do we fight for?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZpf2vn … yXRKcDGhBQ

The vision ain't never clean
When the ego just keeps on feeding
As soon as I start believing
my demons start interfering
Begin too act, all the meaning,
the essence of my whole being
gets rusted and so corrupted 
when life is already fleeting, eating,
Rhetoric is defeating the purpose of
discovery of your own path.
Getting closer to love,
Universal laws,
The only one I can trust,
The man-made will fade one day,
I see now

What do we fight for, don't you know things ain't the same anymore?
Things ain't the same no, things ain't the same no
What do we fight for, don't you know things ain't the same anymore?
Why we wait?!

We been fighting,
fighting since Titan,
all our senses heightened, fused lightning
Might I suggest, that we take a risk
and take this load of our chest (chest)

After the hating, after the debating, anticipating, thanks but I am waiting, waiting, what we waiting for? Waiting

What do we fight for, don't you know things ain't the same anymore?
Things ain't the same no, things ain't the same no
What do we fight for, don't you know things ain't the same anymore?
Why we wait?!

New day is coming,
Keen and so cunning,
Change ain't clean
We gotta keep running
Might I suggest that we never rest
Gotta beat every test
Shit keeps changing,
Keeping my patience,
See whats missing in this equation?

What we fighting for?

What do we fight for, don't you know things ain't the same anymore?
Things ain't the same no, things ain't the same no
What do we fight for, don't you know things ain't the same anymore?
Why we wait?!!

I can see, what you and me, could be
It is a question of faith
Not if we don't take it
I can see, with you and me, what you and me could be
Because I don't really see
what we fighting for, for, for, for. for
Remember what we fighting for, for.., for... for.... .

Pete Philly - Ocean Lyrics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlzSL0B … yXRKcDGhBQ

They say stick too, what you do best, so I'm back
To carryin' the European-West on my back and it
ain't broke, so won't fix it
Especially since all of my folk is gonna miss it
'Bout to visit, stayin' on route
Givin' all of my beautiful people everywhere a shout

Without being explicit, Pete Philly and Perquisite needed a time out
Now I'm solo like before, making my own beats choosin' my own chords
Taking my own path, writing my own score
Learning some new math, building my own store
And there's so much more (much more)
Than this music thing I so adore
So I just said later, I'm doing me theeater (theatre)
Ain't gonna hear my tunes no more
But that was acting, or re-acting
To something that dressed in the mid day hour
But I won't let it tower, above me, love me, hate me, gave me power.

Hook:
I've crossed the oceans
I've traveled the seas
Gettin' a bit closer to where I should be
I know I'm supposed to, let my mind ease,
please

Every verse that I spit is just another piece of my puzzle
And I admit despite all of my whit
I'm puzzled, I stay tussling, trying to come to grips
My church has no religion, my search has no find
Since the birth of Mankind, we been trying to move forward while pressing rewind and I'm
No better, a lazy go getter, conservative trend setter
rebel without a vendetta, the blueprint to happiness, I would follow it to the letter, but since it ain't. Im'ma make my own
And meditate in the middle of the danger zone.

2 x Hook:
I've crossed the ocean
I've traveled the seas
Get in a bit closer, to where I should be
I know I'm supposed to, let my mind ease,
please

Re: The Day

Pete Philly - The Game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb--cGI … p;index=23

Walking through the city I am spacing
My mind be racing, why take time when I am so impatient?
Why rock rhymes? When I am stationed
In a place, where they don't speak, with this kind of technique

I'm an outsider, looking-in with the trend like Charlie Sheen
Swagger over dinner, braggin' over dinner
over all the pretty girls I have seen,
All the cities I have been,
Spitting fire, gasoline

No trendy-, hipster-, coolkid-, player-, part of any scene,
Uhuh, ....... wine and govern, fry (inaudible)  & loops, for my troops,
All of my women, all of my dudes
As I am getting closer to my roots
I am saying, I am staying, I am playing the game all the same, I wont fall cuz I know the game
I am saying ,I am playing the game, it is all the same, all the same, all the same 

I've been tryin'to maintain this
Trying to remain sain, with all this strangeness
All of these strangers, fucking with my ego, cuz they know what my name is.
But they don't know what my aim is, actually I am still aimless
Everybody is tryin' to be famous
But they don't understand what the game is

No, if it gotta be, with a beat, than I gotta see, whats in it for me
In the sense that I see that I roam homeless, zone-chrome-less
I am not sitting or spitting like Inc.
Microphone is my vehicle, for anything meaningful
Anytime i see a few, options, continue to, roll with the punches
follow my hunches, need to eat less cuz there's less time for crunches, I munch this
Beat, cuz I am hungry MC, turned vocalist productionist, spiritual instructionist.
De- constructionist, not matter what fuzz it is
I am trying to get rid of any fuziness
loving this, As opposed too all the untrustworthy, hurt mentality
I heard nothing for me
Gemini, I'm an Arubian, and whatever box you stick me in, I'm sick of 'em
Transcending, never ending (no)

I am saying I am staying,
I am playing the game all the same, I wont fall cuz I know the game
I am saying I am playing the game, it is all the same, all the same all the same 

The game

Re: The Day

Still working on this one, but its nearing completion:

Pete Philly with the Benjamin Herman Quartet - Movin' On
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7wp7EYeTmI

Click clack the heater tick-tack too move along,
Reflection of the sun in my eye, feeling so strong
Mic(rophone) hand switches, pan-hand itches,
They said we messin' with bitches no we (are) movin' on
Whoever is in charge, all I am doing is taking notes
Call it the most high, that brag and boast, that make toast
Most MC's who can't come close to these guys
Wo doing that with so much ease,

Yo, got destiny, I feel blessed, pete philly and the rest
is part of a movement, putting any wackiness to the test

I will not rest 'till my missions are accomplished
People's vision get tarnished, they promoting garbage

And I know you can feel that,
We'll tap from the source called life
Paint a picture, but not by numbers.
Why they act like we be getting dumber,
lets awaken from the slumber and run some John Cucumber (John Q.) shit!

These are the talents that we be equipped with, let us do what it is we do and that's rip shit,
we movin' on yo, yo, we movin' on yo yo we movin' on
Thing called life really can get you lifted, like we spliffed it, feeling so damn gifted

We movin' on yo yo, we movin' yo yo we movin'on

Ey yo, everything tends to happen for a reason and every now and than it tends to be my season
No more pleasing anybody but me, on my own again in the zone again, let's see
Accustomed to bust and spit some hot bars, not to be found in wack clubs or bars.
Not to boast, but I am somewhat of a boss, and I'll always win my friends, I think thats'just because

We movin'on, yo yo, we movin' on
Stayin' true to my vision and I am in it for the long run
Having fun, out for the prize,
When it is mine, than I'm done.

So know that, these are the talents that we be equipped with
Now lets us do
What it is we do
And thats rip shit,
we movin'on,
yo yo we movin on
we movin on yo yo we movin'on
This thing called life really can get you lifted, like we spliffed it, feeling so damn gifted
We movin'on, we movin'on,

***Epic Jazz***

I know there is more to this than I can stoop-it on a mic'
I am no livin' truthfull,
So say what you like
So many people know of me,
Some people they love me, if haters don't say that 'bout me, they just bounce of me

It has been a long way coming,
running from our demons
To be achieving everything I be dreaming

Life seems to teach more, life seems to preach more, the sky ain't the limit,
it is the stars you can reach for
And I am like, yeah, finally I get it than
Switching my mission, sharin' it with who is listening

To the good dudes with the good news,
The empire is fallin', its a new day, now you choose
How to spend it, spent it splendid, spend it with us.
You know it is in ourselves that we trust
I know it is not just, the injustice, but all I know is just this, just this, just this, just this, just this, just this..

*** more epic jazz***
We movin'on (yeah)
*** more epic jazz***
