Nevermind, you're still too immature to understand.

Do you want me to come in with Dylan?

Or do you have this one well under wraps already? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

2) don't comprehend the lyrics //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I'd bet you don't either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I know I dont understand much of the lyrics in those songs... if every line DID have realy meaning, I'd also bet 99% of listeners of Tool dont understand them either, they just know its a depressing sounding song that they can cut themselves to //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif In my awkward search for my musical taste, I had a brief stop with Tool, I wont lie, back in jr high I thought they were awesome. Since moved on to 50 cent type stuff, realized that also had no real content to listen to, then I found underground hip-hop, along with bigger names too that have real stuff to say, stuff that applies to me and I can take things away from the music.

I was up and out my mothers house at 17

Been a grown *** married man ever since

Family reunions, I'm talked about but never seen

Cause I learned that some of them can be your nemesis

Got a lot of scars on me, I'll now tell you the stories

If, you promise not to take offense

Homie, sit back then, hand bring the beat in

I'll try to find a place that starts to make sense now

The first time I was pushed out blind

Cold and *****, spanked on the *** to breathe

An immigrant from heaven on earth with a word piece

I announce my self with gasps and screams

Before black and white supremacy, heighted my innocence

I was living out life behind the picket fence

Happy go lucky scared of no one

With the only exception, I'm allergic to the sun

Didn't know I had a image that a camera couldn't capture

100% on Mars manufacture

But then came the laughter, and outside I'm battered

Picket fence shattered

I saw my self as bastard tagalong, harassed and spat upon

By the children of slave masters who passed it on

The saddest songs been sung at the hands of who I call the race from hell

Its a disgrace from hell

Fell face first in the self hate

Burst into tears when I hear my own hellish name cursed

If I seem timid, its only because every mirror that I saw back then had the

earths ugliest human being in it

And with that said, they would kick me till they got tired or I act dead

And I, have to tell ya'll that the obvious part

That I always feel free when I'm talking to god

Alone on the playground, Friday afternoon

And the, old sister who hums gospel toons

I saw her notice getting closer

She approached me and put a knowing hand on my shoulder

And booked my feelings

Cause she looked at me in a way that adults very seldom look at children

And with the wisdom only earned by years

She read my thoughts and she welled up with tears and said

"You look the way you do because you're special

Not the short bus way, I mean that God's gonna test you

And all of this pain is training for the day when you

will have to lead with the gift God gave to you

Grown folks don't see it but the babies do

And there's a chance that you can save a few"

And time will prove that, she started my movement

She didn't tell me to take it - she told me to use it

The second time poppa ripped the womb open early

And exposed me to the coldness life prematurely

Where mom's love used to live, now housed denial

And when that decayed, it made it bitter and spiteful

But me and my runaway, we share something special

Rode into the sunset, can barely can tough the pedals

No strings attached, screaming, "**** Geppetto"

We may live in the gutter, but we cling to each other

A week before my son came, I caught a bad bounce

And had to step to mom with my hands out

And momma proved the two of us could not live in that house

She lied to the police so they would throw us in the streets

And separating from you, is something that I feel I must do

Its not that I don't love you, its more that I don't trust you

Its been a year since I've seen a living relative

And it's just now that I'm starting to live

But while I'm sitting here, choking on tears wishing that I didn't care

Feeling all alone in this hemisphere, I swear upon everything I hold dear

And then my wife comes near, and I hear a voice whisper in my ear

"You're going through all of this because you're special

Not no superstar shit, I mean that God had to test you

And all of this pain has been training for the day when you

would lead us with the gift God gave to you

Your parents might not see it but your babies do

And there's a chance that you can save a few"

And time will prove that, she started my movement

She didn't tell me to take it, she told me to use it

So I use it

1993, shortly before Thanksgiving

I got the call, she said Jamal Derek is not longer living

Softly she spoke, is this a joke? Man you gotta be kidding

As my question was raised this explanation was given

A meaningless death made me question the meaning of life

Does my body remain at rest like when I'm sleeping at night?

Will I burn in eternal hell or will I find paradise?

Be rejected or ressurected like the body of Christ?

Is it like purgatory, the story described by the Catholics?

Or Nirvana that Buddhists honor in both theory and practice?

Like I study in my college philosophy classes

Or do my molecules and atoms travel back to the gases?

I mean, what I like to know, is where my spirit goes?

After the curtains close, on my final show?

Is there a pain it brings? Enjoy my favorite things?

Visit ancient kings? Hear the angels sing?

Who'll answer these said the great MCs

My man Gribbles battling a debilitating disease

He said you see a brother like me is willing to fight

And everytime I question death my only answer is life

[Chorus: Esthero]

One life, yeahhh

And my God will set me free

Am I living in this moment

Am I living righteously

It gets haaarrdddd

But I know I got to keep on

I'm trying so hard to be strooonnnggg

[Verse Two: Poetic]

Paralyzed on the bathroom floor by pain

Last month I endured, but now I can't ignore

Feels like railroad spikes being stuck in my liver

Am I dying? Eyes crying, body starting to shiver

Crawl upstair from the basement calling my sister

(Sniff) Dawn help me, I ain't feeling too healthy

Stomach walls burning, head spinning and turning

Waiting for the EMS; 3:10 in the morning

Rush me to the emergency screaming like a newborn

The pain's too strong maybe my soul's trying to move on

They hook me to the I.V., put me through some X-Rays

Gave me Demerol to kill the pain that was the next phase

Early the next day in the hospital room

Moms and pops in the room, three or four docs in the room

Test results suggest your colon and your liver

Is so cancerous you got three months left

Me and Death is playing chess ever since then

My strength is the most high, my fam and close friends

The Last Emp and Set Free blessed me with a verse

Staying healthy comes first

Look at me things could be worst

[Chorus] - 2X

Thank you! These are lyrics that mean something, lyrics that also dont need an interpreter to understand. I was lucky enough to see this guy (brother ali) in concert with another great lyricist, Slug of Atmosphere. Great show BTW //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
