Intro
|
With the N.A.S.A. team, we will take you bodly where
|
No man has ever gone before.
|
We will take you back some fifteen billion years to the beginning of time.
|
|
Verse (Chali 2na)
|
Yo! From a drop of blood to bones and body parts
|
To vital organs form and your brain and tiny heart
|
Your fetus, date of birth, til puberty finally starts
|
Adolescence, adult, then your elderly body rots
|
It was devine decree that begun the plan
|
But it's disease by the greed of the sons of man
|
Who try to lead with their guns in hand
|
Understand God's the one that command...
|
|
Pre-chorus (David Byrne)
|
Did we climb out of the sea?
|
Where did we come from you and me?
|
Two legs to walk and eyes to see
|
Am I the man I want to be?
|
|
Chorus (David Byrne, The Crack Alley Children's Choir & Gift of Gab)
|
People grow in my back yard
|
In my garden, in my heart
|
Pink and purple, red and blue
|
On this sunny afternoon
|
|
Verse (Gift of Gab)
|
Back before time was time and space was space
|
The ever present I divine so laced with grace
|
Decided it was time to try to chase the taste
|
To what it was designed, now life is taking place
|
Within it' self-divided, now it takes some space
|
They can't be fathomed by a mind creates the state
|
Of ego now what's is mine, is mine, ok now hate
|
We'll reign until the blind have eyes and they awaken...
|
|
Pre-chorus (David Byrne)
|
Planting the seeds in the ground
|
How is my garden growing now?
|
A tender kiss, a little smile
|
The way a mother holds her child
|
Chorus (David Byrne, The Crack Alley Children's Choir & Chali 2na)
|
Tasty little human beings
|
I grow them on the people tree
|
I will eat them one by one
|
|
If there's enough for everyone
|
|
Bridge (GIft of Gab and Chali 2na)
|
Oh, unending ever flowing life beyond the birth
|
Tell me what the purpose is for creating the earth
|
Mainly we created the planet as man's habitat
|
Be fruitful and multiply across the planet's back
|
But why does hate exist, the war and AIDS and shit?
|
It we're to be fruitful, why can't poor people pay they rent?
|
Cause love and hate, both sides are conjoined
|
Physical forms have to deal with both sides of the coin
|
Why do we die?
|
So you can live
|
Why do we strive?
|
So you can win
|
But why do you defy every truthful word I recommend?
|
My question back is: Why do you recommend then throw temptation in?
|
So I can test you patience and tolerance in the face of sin
|
But why a test when you hold all the answers to the state we in?
|
For you to bear witness to imperfections of mortal man
|
So it's a lesson?
|
And a blessing journey back to where you've been
|
Cause before the tree can flourish, seeds must first be planted in!
|
|
Chorus (David Byrne, The Crack Alley Children's Choir & Gift of Gab)
|
People grow in my back yard
|
In my garden, in my heart
|
If you like my garden, you might like me
|
Underneath the people tree
|
|
Outro
|
Getting closer to God!
|
Getting closer to God!
|
Call upon your God!
|
Closer to God!
|
He'll answer your question!
|
Closer to God!
|
God said I trust you!
|
Behold!
|
Who are you?
|
I'm God muthafucka and I'm not who you thought I was!
|
They better be giving me all the respect
|
All y'all, all y'all, all y'all, all y'all check yo self!
|
Cause I'm God!
|
Hello hello hello hello
|
Feel me, feel me, feel me all you
