Slam movie - Ocean Within lyrics

rate me

Song by KRS-One and Saul Williams<br /><br>

[KRS-One]<br>

Word..<br>

Sonja.. you know you saw her in the movie<br>

And my man Saul, he's like THIS!<br>

<br>

[Saul Williams - singing]<br>

There is no ocean like the one, within<br>

Look to the moon rise with the tides, and swim<br>

[repeat 4X]<br>

<br>

[KRS-One - speaking while Saul sings]<br>

Uh-huh, yeah, yeah<br>

KRS-One, coming through.. like this<br>

Uh-huh, do it, do it like that, like that<br>

Uh, uh-huh<br>

<br>

[Saul Williams - sings first two lines]<br>

Saul the road to Damascus, come follow me<br>

The serpent swallow the moon, but it won't, swallow me<br>

(Yeah, speak the word!)<br>

Intellect is like a major city<br>

Laden with concrete, metal<br>

Advanced modes of transportation<br>

Shining buildings, and fenced in parks<br>

Spirit is the mountain's forest wilderness<br>

and vast countryside that surrounds it<br>

Too many people live in the city<br>

Struggling day to day for mere existance<br>

Most have forgotten how to live off the land<br>

They only experience nature on class trips<br>

and short-term vacations<br>

For those that live in the country<br>

Cities are like amusement parks with high prices<br>

and temporal satisfaction<br>

At the end of the day, they are tired<br>

and ready to go home, and relieve their ringing ears<br>

<br>

[Saul Williams - singing]<br>

There is no ocean like the one, within<br>

Look to the moon rise with the tides, and swim<br>

[repeat 2X]<br>

<br>

[KRS-One]<br>

Uh-huh, speak the word<br>

Hyper-accelerated meditations talk<br>

The reversal of this word dispersal is thought<br>

There is no difference between thought and talk<br>

like the blackboard chalk and homicide chalk<br>

they both give outlines<br>

One is designed to outline the mind<br>

The other outlines the body after a crime<br>

Could it be that these two chalks are connected;<br>

meaning the body gets outlined when the mind is neglected --<br>

-- or poorly directed<br>

Like the teacher with the chalk<br>

Or is the teacher the beginning of the homicide we talk?<br>

Be selective in your speech<br>

Cause the chalk of the two technical teaching has taught each<br>

Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone<br>

Nearly every daughter, nearly every son<br>

Ignorance reigns supreme for some<br>

They chase the sum, inviting the I-R-S to come<br>

Make the connection, choose your direction<br>

Use your protection when sexin AND hexin<br>

Things come back cause they really never left<br>

If the secret to meditation is found in the breath<br>

then speech is another form of meditativeness<br>

Whattya say to this latest rhyme or poem?<br>

Some have been known to quite the mind through <br>

OHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM<br>

<br>
