tim liken - jas lyrics

intro:
this is all kind of a mass culture, we live in
and it makes you, you look
you look like something or act like something that you really aren’t
you know, it’s like, um, a falseness
it’s like a mass personality
just made me so narrow, that i couldn’t, really, do
i gave myself justice
so, i just broke totally away from that whole mighty d+mn thing
they had a lot of rules and regulations which just didn’t fit with me you know
i wanna do this the way i wanna do it
i wanna determine my own destiny
i wanna determine how i am to speak on a stage
i don’t wanna be a mass personality
i don’t wanna be a one dimension
i wanna bе me
i wanna be human

chorus/hook:
[echo] jas, jas, jas, jas, jas
miles davis, nina simonе, john coltrane, alice coltrane
they are very serious kinds of artists
they approach their, their craft as it’s a life, a way of life
[echo] jas, jas, jas, jas, jas

verse one:
a form of relaxation
it’s a form of emotional release
i felt raised, i felt lifted
and i realised that once i began to take my art form seriously, that, the divinity, would wrap me
hook:
[echo] jas, jas, jas, jas, jas
[echo] jas, jas, jas, jas, jas
[echo] jas, jas, jas, jas, jas
[echo] jas, jas, jas, jas, jas

verse two:
gave me a discipline
it gave me, um, an ability to, to expand my mental power
because then i had to begin to +n+lyse
and look into all this emotion, all this feeling
and all of this gave me a+a+a+a sense of totalness
i+i need to be in an atmosphere that is free, that is open, that is striving for truth
and not somebody else dictating to you how to do your thing

chorus/hook:
[echo] jas, jas, jas, jas, jas
miles davis, nina simone, john coltrane, alice coltrane
they are very serious kinds of artists
they approach their, their craft as it’s a life, a way of life
[echo] jas, jas, jas, jas, jas

verse three/outro:
and i used to sit there all day and listen to all those beautiful voices, you know, black voices
and because of that, i got very involved with blackness
‘cause, it was more, more me i guess
