stay alive

gone through the first phases of editing "Give it all away" video. first choosing the  materials from almost 11 hours of footage which was shot in Guguletu and Mbekweni Townships of South Africa. closed that to 2 hours or so and started editing, compositing and putting the story together. haven't left the Lightcraft studio for three days and nights but finally the editing is done and it really looks amazing. now Lukasz will start his magic : the online process which is going to take it to a new level.

It feels like back in africa. the shots are so real that it takes me back there to those people and places. I'm glad that through this vid I'll be able to share this beautiful experiences with you. no acting, fucking posing or crap like that. real life, real pain, real love. never done anything like this before but have to say that the truth is always the heaviest emotion. it was like going back to the roots. performing in the streets, houses. being among people and having to defend all I believe in and all that I am. this action reminds me of our polish Nie bylo episode - visiting fans all over the country in their homes to shoot a video. going from city to city and breaking this line between artists and listeners. it changed me and hope it gave them something too. still remember those days, faces and words we said./thank you all/

In africa Teba and Zukile opened these magic doors for me and took me for a rough ride through the ghetto world. I miss you guys very much. hope that the evidence of purity of our action is just cooking.

let's deliver the "cyber crime"

my home is where I sleep. you know...

STAY ALIVE

Teba:

 

Intro

Yo! rapapampam Rasta na promote nonastyness

Bambam Rasta na promote no nastyness

All politicians uno better step one side

Bambam rudeboy na promote no badness

All artist uno better rise to the top

 

my home is where I sleep

put the head on a bed put it on the bricks son

down down with the dirt the under dog without a shelter

I'm standing out there in the fire 

I feed my love my hope, desire (oh)

still alive after all these years

seek the cancer in my head

I spit in eyes of the killers and liars

political whores

 I can't deny it no

hate kills and pushes me ahead

need a blessing to aim at their heads now

I need your love to keep on fighting

to stay alive and breath 

I need your love to keep on breathing

just keep on breathing

breath for me

what an angry son

tell'em motherfucker when it all began

hard case when we stand against

broken flowers with the bullets in their heads now

blind millions scream and yell

dirty motherfuckers that rule this game

look down at this fucking world where 

people got mad and there is no god

no land no promised land

cheap thrills and stinking hands

eyes blue, what happened to you

who shot you down baby    

I need your love to keep on fighting

to stay alive and breath 

I need your love to keep on breathing

just keep on breathing

breath for me

to keep on fighting

breathe

to keep on breathing

breath

when you leave I'm broken and bleeding

heart can't stop and wounds still bleeding

where did you go

oh

did you know

I accept myself with this chaos burning in my head

cherish beauty kiss my anger

shelter weakness feed the hunger

of my senses inner world traces

take me to those childhood places

I'm your son on his own

feel your wounds and mean no harm

don't ask me when it all began

endless painful bloody run

givin it all 

sharin it all with people I love

I'll fight this fight for you

I'll fight and die for you

I'll cross the line for you

Stand on the edge for you

I'll drown in tears for you

I'll fight my fears and stand by you 

bleedin

burnin

explodin

demandin

some justice

give'em some justice

power to the people 

and give'em some justice

Teba:

Consciousness musically uno get that yes man trust we

a bomboklat dead uno try fe test we

 

Pon the earth breath brings wealth

Death brings birth and birth leads to death

So use your breath and maths fe your wealth

From north Sweet Noise ina the south x2

 

There pon the street raise up uno feast

We take it from the west and fix ina east

Some times life is like a beast

So listen to me now consciousness pon me lips

Ah we na ease revolution pon least

So inhale you coulda have a meal

InI fight na hide ina the kist

Under the sun there's love ina the the mist

 

Oxygen ina yor lungs now ina your lungs

Ah we na fraid fe the pounds now fe the pounds

Good use pon your funds now pon your pounds

Poor youth never be thugs now never be thugs

Yes I yes I don't know yes I yes I yes I don't you know yes I

 

It's consciousness every time seen!

P.S. don't fight. think and be together as one. treat art as a tool 'cos it ain't no politics but sure it is a weapon.
