Thomas Djossou - Free Your Mind (Slam Dunk) lyrics
[Intro] What's life? Life is poetry Or maybe life is music maybe it's magic Some say it's just a chemical reaction it's our mission to figure it out Life, love loss pain, d**h, those are the questions [Verse 1] See, religion and science, they seem to fight one another Maybe one tells why, the other how, maybe they go together? Who is God? Who are they? Whose are they? Creations or creators The future, past and present, fate and faith, body, soul, nature They say think about the future, before taking actions, well I am the future Think about me like some did for you, or did not, don't be a fool Cure cancer and AIDS, but the greatest diseases were man-made Hate, envy, war, greed, oceans of sin on a boat of hope, floating Praying, if you sink, you drown in a world they made up so you'd think Wealth is the key to happiness, but what wealth exactly? What do they know about happiness? Happiness is objective They speculate about the greater good, but the greater good is silent Because the word is not a change, it's the blueprint to an action The word is a way to communicate, but it is nothing without wisdom And the wise didn't become so in the books, the wise lived for a living The wise loved for a living, maybe he didn't love living but he still did Because life is a gift, living is about what you live for, not what you live with You must eat to live and not live to eat, live to love, learn to love and love to live And love to give, and teach to give, and stop living off third world supplies Because money comes and goes, and you know, when God calls you, only memories survive [Hook] Free Your Mind (Time is a concept, a dimension, in no way it is a limitation) Free Your Mind (Life is the time you have to learn to love, so don't waste it with hatred) Free Your Mind (You are not God's tool, you are his son, religion is a guide, not a master) Free Your Mind (Exit the mainstream, be different, do different, do you) [Verse 2] What's your heart beating for, remember why you're clapping or You might end up clapping for the k**er and condemn the victim Because slave drivers are persuasive when they dress up as shepherds True power comes when they rule while you live an illusion of power (Free your mind) I doubt I'll ever say it enough Find new grounds, move on, if what you go through is tough I'm not a teacher or a preacher, not a wise man or a father I'm a friend if you let me even a brother if you feel me A helping hand if you need it, I'm only here to remind you Don't settle down until you reach the place you aspire to Move the barb wires of stereotypes and live life to the fullest Even thought criticism can be the most painful bullet (Free Your Mind) The good die young because he lives fast Carpe Diem, live for the moment and make it last In the great journey of life it's all about choosing your path And when you find your place Martin will say it with you, we are free at last
