lyrics

Hello. This is your conscience knocking on your head
Now it's been a while
You've probably forgotten who I am
Remember, I was there when you last asked, when you last were lost
I was there at the beginning of time when you created me
I was there whether you loved or hated me
I was there to show you the way to be
And I was there when you reincarnated me
And when you lay in limbo I lay patiently
And when you turned away from me I sat gracefully
And I was there when you came back chasing me
And I'm a bit bored of telling you what to do
It's about time to do what I got to do, give you a proper a clue
This is not the new testament or old, this just the truth
This is the conscience of all living creatures channelled through Rebel Without a Coat
So listen bitch
Goes a little like this
No ship ever sailed ya to where ya needed to be
No spliff ever failed you when you weren't feeling the weed
Your needing to breathe is leading you to proceed
It's you that builds the cells, and it's you that they breed
So if you don't take heed of the human you lead down these
dark paths then you're not assuming the lead
Role in this play, the soul who will be freed,
you know that your ignorance is doomin indeed
even so you let it grow then you stupidly plead
For events to happen other than these
But when you're blasphemin your demons are freed
Upon flesh, thought, bone and semen they feed
You scream and you bleed, too weak at the knees
To stand up and see that the creator is thee
IF YOU WANNA KNOW THE SECRETS
OF LIFE, THEN STOP ASKIN
IF YOU WANNA KNOW, IF YOU WANNA KNOW
YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW YOU KNOW
It was not an entity separate from the centipede
Separate from the serpent or the monkey or the manatee
Separate from the Vikings, separate from divine kings
Separate from the Greek Gods or those who they were smiting
Separate from the Beatles or the New Kids on the Block
Separate from the soldiers on the strip getting shot
Separate from the insects, separate from the rocks
Separate from the sun and rain, separate from the crops
Who parted the red sea (it was you and me)
Who let my people set free (it was you and me)
Who filled the land with locusts (it was you and me)
Who will stop choking us (you and me) Who will destroy the governments, the shackles, the borders, the laws, the anger, the sadness, the boredom, the wars
REPEAT CHORUS
So I need to clarify a few things before we move on
It takes a little magic to switch a groove on
The magic is the life that flows left to right through your
vital organs, more than just an ordinary current,
motherfucker this be chi
The energy of which I'm made up, this be me
Only I can truly create a shift in me
Only the power of life within will be liftin me
I'm fit to be what I see fit for me
That's why I spit with ease, and if you rip these trees
Down to the ground break open the pods and split the peas
If you look within, you will quickly see
Yourself staring back at me, that's you, see
So open your heart to the beauty
Let positivity grow like a fruit tree
Dig up your weeds and let it flow through, freely
REPEAT CHORUS
