In the name/11 september

Lyrics for the first song that was written for Sweet Noise The Triptic album. when Vahan Bego heard the track he told me that it sounded like a triptic for him. that was the beginning of almost three years of hard work. the effect is 80 minutes of music. 15 songs.
in this one Teba from Cape Town city is joining me with his vibes and message making it a " serious business ". yes big respect for my brother.

today my thoughts go to 11th September. this tragedy is a part of this song. it is a part of my life, a fact that is still too painful to accept. that day I felt as my world was dying, changing and entering a new phase. those explosions were raping me personally, leaving scars that will never heal.
The Triptic is dedicated to all the victims of war, their relatives and close ones.
I still believe that through art we can change the world. it's all about being conscious and aware. then comes the reaction, revolution and change. try to keep my eyes open even when it hurts.

peace.

I dig this dirt for a woman and man
I dig this dirt for a silent blame
and the lost name
pride
love
the lost soul
who's above you
no one just an empty money can
dropping bombs on my fellow men
and a screaming child
the old man stands
singing songs
of a freedom in the name

in the name
in the name of a man
In the name
in the name of my men

Teba:
U.N.I.T.Y is fe unity
But wicked man thema killing community

fugitives running
true rebel dying
they slaughter beauty
and the street still not crying-no
I see the president
spit on the holly graves
nations blind following
the dead trace
saw a child being trained to be a killer man
tears in eyes
guns in the little hands
missing brother
grave of his father
empty eyes what you've done to his mother

in the name
in the name of a man
In the name
in the name of my men

Teba:
Hey homosepiens hey human species
Have fe stop this war ita go break we to to pieces
Tired fe see the youth wit wolipa stichies
Babylon suck we blood just lke stichies

I gave this little moment to my self
this precious little moment just to myself
And I drop this angry burning words
on a red doted line
guess who is lonely
guess who is lonely

I'll dig this dirt for the woman and a man
for the love and pain, and a killing will
not that fucked up dirty, will to kill
do you know what I mean?
you know...

their exploding cars
their waiting bombs
the bleeding land
the eyes that hate
I saw man kill in the name of god
so high above
my world was crying

screaming child
screaming for the lie
the exploding gun
tears my beauty open
scream for me
my child

scream
scream for me
freedom
my freedom
freedom
in the name in the name of my man
in the name in the name of my man
I demand freedom in the name
of my dignity
respect, respect, respect me
scream for me
my screaming child

scream for me
and I'll tear this world apart for you
my child...
