deca - shelter lyrics

[intro: sample]
creation a terrifying word
the little fl!ckering flame of life
i’m talking about wonder and innocence
horror and despair
and things that are haunted and fraught with dreams
and magnificences and raptures, and glorious
i am talking about the beating of the human heart
and the pulsing of life along its veins
yeah, yeah
here we go

[verse 1: deca]
number 10 chasin’ light at the tunnel, send
summer, fall, winter, spring, some’ll fall, some’ll send
something’s in the air, i can’t place the deco
but lead us not from the sheepfold to the beat stroll
i cheated death but still treat it with a deep respect
in a shadow world of illusions and perceived threats
so, what’s real? what’s projected?
the signs, i’m electric, remind us that the circuitry’s connected
it can’t be understood with mindnumbing metrics
or quantified by a fallen angel with a death wish
if i can translate what’s written in the stars
you would see your own image sharper than a scimitar
crescent moons to cut strings at the saloon
quickdraw, fill ’em with holes at high noon
from womb to tomb, from tapholes to worm food
raised in the woods with the wolves and turned loose
a fraction of the whole of what can buy a love tap
you are not that, you are of that
growing up too fast, the years crawled along
next thing you know, they’re flying past on the autobahn
but all’s well that ends on a high note
and all the rainclouds will be gone soon
some are never there ’til the weather’s fair
others hold you down when the monsoons
i took shelter from the storm
in the stable where the word became flesh and was born
and silver ships pass so the light could shine through
[intermission: sample]
rhymes with new
skies are

[verse 2: blu]
b+l+u, a reflection of truth
direct from my roots, no question i was destined to do it
blessin’ the music, same time music was blessin’ me
directin’ me through a pure outlet to let it be
extra free, a person couldn’t sit next to me
especially if i’m expressin’ me to the next degree
an mc, i need a mic and a beat
on the hour every day, i be writin’ a leaf
fightin’ to flee the demons off me, call me the g
od, og n+ggas want me to be
you [?] but you them, but you could call me the c
calm in the streets, palm in the heat, all i can be
a reflection of somethin’ made direct from love
givin’ love to the blessed above, my ancestors’ hug
imagine if no one ever died
but still, multiply standin’ side+by+side
jesus would be here, so would my grandmothers
uh, holdin’ hands as they stand above us
the answer was us, is us and always will be
alive until god decides to k!ll me
[outro: sample]
how does each person find peace?
eh, one can’t answer that because that’s for each one to discover, each one has a different, uh
that’s the joy and the pain and
yes, yes
the challenge
this is one of the reasons, let’s say, we are here on earth, is to find out such things. what we are, what we learn to be. discover our own being and+ and live with it and act in accordance with our own being. i think that’s the important thing
