If you feel something, you should do it.
sun signatures ifs
she kissed as if she, alone, could forge the signature of the sun
destiny self soul
I keep trying to forget, but I must remember. And gather the scattered continents of a self, once whole. Before they plant flags and boundary my destiny. Push down the watered mountains that blemish this soiled soul before the valleys of my conscience get the best of me. I'll need a passport just to simply reach the rest of me. A vaccination for a lesser god's bleak history.
past waiting insightful
the greatest Americans have not been born yet they are waiting patiently for the past to die
It's not the rules everywhere, you know? That's not the rules everywhere - that things have to be dumbed down in order to become massively popular. And that hasn't always been the rule, even in America.
grind
Some rather seek up high Than dig and grind that inner truth
love-you love-is imagination
My love is my soul's imagination... how do I love you... imagine.
dumb movement social
Music has always pushed ahead social movements and can do much more than just dumb down a populace.
soul steps spirit
I dance for no reason, for reasons you can't dance, Call me an activist of intellectualized circumstance You can't learn my steps until you unlearn your thoughts Spirit, soul, can't be store-bought.
morning honestly
Honestly, I don't always want to get up in the mornings, but I do anyway.
lying race people
If we're gonna progress as a people we are going to realise that, as one of my favourite poets says, the other is a lie. There are no other people. Race is a social construct.
facts fax holograms
Fax me a fact, and I'll telegram a hologram.
book reading writing
I think that good writing is based on good reading. Maybe it's not about writing today, maybe it's about reading today. Maybe it's about finding the sort of book you would never read.
morning wake-up bathroom
When I finally decide that I'm ready to get out of bed, it could be the sunlight, it could be the fact that I'm awake, and, OK, first of all, I wake up in the morning because I have to go to the bathroom.
