lyrics

(Background/Intro Vocal):

Wind it up lose control
Let your body feel your
Soul

A red velvet tapestry
Of where we are
Or where we should be

The rhythm of who we are
Who we want to see
Ourselves
As

In our soul like the
Vibration of an
Internal meter
Guiding us through life

Live stand and lay
And lie
So we lie to ourselves
In our dances
And in our walks

We lie to ourselves
In our smiles
And in our
Talks

And today's yesterdays are the
Same
Like the hamster
We spin
On the continuous
Wheel of the anti boogie

The soul reflection
The mirror of
What we need to be
But yet it’s us

Right there in
Afro conk
Braids
Sheen styles of smiles

So look within
Yourselves
Ladies and gentlemen
And tie up
Your sneakers
And dance to this rhythm

Right now
Soul reflection

Wind it up

Let your body feel

And you will be alright

Wind it up lose control
Let your body feel your
Soul

The last poets in the house

Umar Recites:


Abiodun recites:
Stepping into tomorrow
Surrounded by the visions of today
Be the mirror of your soul
Look inside the core
Of your existence
Smell the roses
You planted years ago
Wash in the sweat
Of your labor
And breathe the funk
Of your lust
Be like a bird
Fly above the ruins
Of your mistakes
Dance away from the demons
Who try to box you in
Let your love be the key
To your freedom
