Soul-R I'm standing here contemplating life and it's philosophies From the essence to the hypocrisies Plato to Socrates Corruption in societies Everything around me is a monopoly It's like a class warfare When the rich got nuff shots to spare A mental force field you can't see but it's there Institute currency as nothing more then a way to control Power's with the rich only the rich will strive While the sheep will be working for life to survive From the time you arrive on Earth until the time your deceased Evil monotheistic aristocrats use capitalism to mark you like a beast Institute mental slavery to cause a manic depression And when you fight back by the rules they bring a recession Got me all stressing Watching the time like it was tangible Only a fool would think it's manageable Extreme confrontation makes U think from the left Or u think from the right. Using categories to make you blind from the light The truth of life is found through the middle Life is nothing more than a riddle Is it a violin or a fiddle? A jigsaw puzzle with a missing piece The price of living is on the increase While the wages of work remains still and seems to cease Branded like a cattle with the mark of the beast Marcus Garvey said look for the coming of a King from the East The conquering Lion of Judah to bring peace The plight of man is an illusion of the mind When our reality is a mere porthole in time You are the fool of success for nor cause, nor reason can stop nor change the season Man has disrespected nature with treason From birth to conception From death to resurrection There's a fine line between control and protection That Babylon crosses every day for their treasury collection They control your body through circumstance and fornication Rebellion is crushed through swift eradication And those who don't oppose get a 2 week vacation All the white blinding the body and the mind from it's immediate relation Is it impossible for free thought? well at least spiritual thought processification Your soul through your mind, your mind through your soul Don't let your eyes deceive you with riches of gold For your soul is Eternal And your body can be bought, used and sold Read between the lines and search deep with in your mind you'll find the true wealth of life is there to behold BEHOLD. Beautiful and behold Behold Be uniform and be whole Behold Written By SouL-R © 2004 8 Rooks |

Ask Me What I’m Fighting For? by Soul-R ©2005 As I sit at a table prepereth for I by thine enemies As I sit amongst those close to me as those closest to me They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer To love your enemies is to keep them closer Thus victory over war and you will have closure Many have talked of revolution and many leaders have dishonored the solution They questioned my motives as though they were personal based on my mentality Instead of asking the question “Where was my anger stemming from in this bullshit society?” As they laughed at my heedings of revolution And mused that their was no shituation except my lack of conformity And they asked me what I’m fighting for… As recall the 60’s to the seventies They were many revolutionaries Who fought and are now only fighting in our memories With their names as armor Tis not the seventies no more Now it is the new millennium And nothing has really changed Some things have but the essence of our fight still remains the same Ask me what I’m fighting for… I’m fighting for the same thing Peter Tosh was strumming for Strumming the universal sound of sufferation resonating, reverberating The sound of freedom everlasting Spiritual eyes (highs) see it like 40 days of fasting So ask me what I’m fighting for… I’m fighting for freedom Free of an oppressive system designed to keep people ketching up to new innovations Like colonial governors imposing their colonist laws that begat the colonialist jobs that we are working and trying to progress in But as time moves forward we are only regressing As we keep starting over at the same jobs never ending Cause just when you think you reached the top of their ladder they bring in a new beginning. A Brand new system so that it would take generations for us to learn their new system just so we can thrive Rather than simply survive And we buy into it like we are buying into the latest technology That basically does that of that it was replacing The crisis we are facing is a brand new second hand Hand, on second thought Let me remove myself from this madness so how will the revolution be fought So you ask me what I’m fighting for… The same thing that you’re praying for The revolution will be fought with brimstone and fire On the battlefield you will find the return of the messiah The one they pray will take us hire It’s through earthly heights we aspire
Ask me what I’m fighting for… What was civil rights dying for Who was wrong and who was right Who tried to part the black and the white The same fight they used to bring in apartheid But No man can part the tide Except he who was prophesied He who be stilleth is she who flows He who knows We don’t need no more heroes We need a heroine A hero to win An abundance of great sheroes Infinite like zeroes In Binary codes In the absence of one there appears to be zero Birthed into existence through illusion Like when Nero burned down Rome and blamed it on his enemies History repeats itself 365 daylies Ask me what I’m fighting for… I keep fighting for peace and it seems I’m doing the opposite of peace by fighting peace in order to get some piece Fighting, fighting all the while I’m missing the peace So who holds the missing piece Cause now that I’ve found peace I have to keep fighting to hold the peace I’m fighting you, but I’m really fighting myself Hating you, whilst I’m hating myself NOW I see to love you is to love myself As a sit at a table prepereth for I by thine enemies As sit amongst those close to me as those closest to me They say keep your friends close and your enemies’ closer To love your enemies is to keep them closer Thus victory over war and you will have closure So before you ask me what I’m fighting for… Ask your self the question Is your life worth dying for Ask your self is your life worth dying for Ask your self is your life worth dying 4 This is a copy written expression by Soul-R of 8Rooks.com ©2005 |
