"Sources" Rap

~~THIS RAP WILL BE READ BY UU YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY ~~

~~ AUDITIONS WILL BE HELD IN JANUARY OR FEBRUARY 2012 ~~

The 1st source supports a natural type feeling

At commencement we knew no love pain or beauty

The terror of innocence compared to apples heaven sent

Snakes in our garden: I'm begging your pardon?

Guidance thru darkness our soul and our spirit was born just a part of this

The movement was the start of this

Birth, death, beauty, destruction - let me go on to part 2 of this discussion

Source 2 goes out to Orishas and voodoo

Starvin kids in Africa prayin on juju

We ain t yet got to the part like watcha gon do?

This the human introduction to truth,

Ruthlessly, shamelessly lost

And some people think that suffering began on the cross

Knowledge is power power is freedom

But for the need to be free sometimes we bleed.

Source 3

Writers and teachers are born in me.

Exposure to oppression from sea to shining sea

But with the words on the page it seems I finally breathe.

Inhalation of Education, Exhalation of Love, the power of one

We returning back home, where the family is strong.

This is the Kingdom of Right

We challenge the streets so we can eat at night

And the palace of peace where we sleep each night.

Source 4 needs no more, to explore or enter the door

To righteousness, MLK was likened to this,

Before they did what they did to our man down in Memphis,

But otherwise, there s an end to the lies & the killing and such,

People may change God willing, but

Enshalla is a word that reminds of us of Arabs and terrorist acts

Quit fearing the facts.

5th source 5th course in humanity and vanity

The man is the destroyer of the woman s own sanity

& vice verse, I mean we all bleed red but to prove it might hurt

We washin out the stains and pains from our shirts.

Both button ups and blue collars,

We all caught by the tail that makes wanna holla to the heavenly father

We re in pursuit of infinite knowledge

But we re still street scholars.

The 6th has a mix of spirit in this, if U hear it and fear it, deny its own bliss

But the truth is religion & you re spirit don t mix

Each a separate entity, that builds upon serenity

And damages the enemy, or maketh him a friend to me,

So why we claimin clemency from faith and all its energy?

As simple as a penny be the start of our economy

So follow me the circle is sacred, and we ll make it.
