Free Your Mind Slam Dunk by Thomas Djossou Lyrics
[Intro]
What's life? Life is poetry
Or maybe life is music maybe it's magic
Some say it's just a chemical reaction it's our mission to figure it out
Life, love loss pain, death, those are the questions
[Verse 1]
See, religion and science, they seem to fight one another
Maybe one tells why, the other how, maybe they go together?
Who is God? Who are they? Whose are they? Creations or creators
The future, past and present, fate and faith, body, soul, nature
They say think about the future, before taking actions, well I am the future
Think about me like some did for you, or did not, don't be a fool
Cure cancer and AIDS, but the greatest diseases were man-made
Hate, envy, war, greed, oceans of sin on a boat of hope, floating
Praying, if you sink, you drown in a world they made up so you'd think
Wealth is the key to happiness, but what wealth exactly?
What do they know about happiness? Happiness is objective
They speculate about the greater good, but the greater good is silent
Because the word is not a change, it's the blueprint to an action
The word is a way to communicate, but it is nothing without wisdom
And the wise didn't become so in the books, the wise lived for a living
The wise loved for a living, maybe he didn't love living but he still did
Because life is a gift, living is about what you live for, not what you live with
You must eat to live and not live to eat, live to love, learn to love and love to live
And love to give, and teach to give, and stop living off third world supplies
Because money comes and goes, and you know, when God calls you, only memories survive
[Hook]
Free Your Mind (Time is a concept, a dimension, in no way it is a limitation)
Free Your Mind (Life is the time you have to learn to love, so don't waste it with hatred)
Free Your Mind (You are not God's tool, you are his son, religion is a guide, not a master)
Free Your Mind (Exit the mainstream, be different, do different, do you)
[Verse 2]
What's your heart beating for, remember why you're clapping or
You might end up clapping for the killer and condemn the victim Because slave drivers are persuasive when they dress up as shepherds
True power comes when they rule while you live an illusion of power (Free your mind) I doubt I'll ever say it enough
Find new grounds, move on, if what you go through is tough
I'm not a teacher or a preacher, not a wise man or a father
I'm a friend if you let me even a brother if you feel me
A helping hand if you need it, I'm only here to remind you
Don't settle down until you reach the place you aspire to
Move the barb wires of stereotypes and live life to the fullest
Even thought criticism can be the most painful bullet
(Free Your Mind) The good die young because he lives fast
Carpe Diem, live for the moment and make it last
In the great journey of life it's all about choosing your path
And when you find your place Martin will say it with you, we are free at last
What's life? Life is poetry
Or maybe life is music maybe it's magic
Some say it's just a chemical reaction it's our mission to figure it out
Life, love loss pain, death, those are the questions
