Lyrics for One Tribe

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Woah-oh-oh-oh-ooooh!
Oh-woah-oh!

One Tri…
One Tri…
One Tribe, One Time, One Planet, One Race
Its all one blood, don’t care about your face
The color of your eye
Or the tone of your skin
Don’t care where you are
Don’t care where you been
Cause where we gonna go
Is where we wanna be
The place where the little language is unity
And the continent is called Pangaea
And the main ideas are connected like a spear
No propaganda, They tried to upper hand us
Cause man I’m loving this peace
Man, man, I’m loving this peace
Man, man, I’m loving this peace
I don’t need no leader
That’s gonna force feed a
Concept that make me think I need to
Fear my brother and fear my sister
And shoot my neighbor
Or my big missile
If I had an enemy to [enemy]
If I had an enemy to [enemy]
If I had an enemy
Then my enemy is gonna try to come and kill me
Cause I’m his enemy
There’s one tribe ya’ll

One tribe ya’ll
One tribe ya’ll
One tribe ya’ll
We are one people
Let’s cast amnesia, forget about all that evil
Forget about all that evil, that evil that they feed ya
Let’s cast amnesia, forget about all that evil
That evil that they feed ya

ap_will_meRemember that we’re one people
We are one people
One people, one people [One People]
One people, one people [One People]
One people, one people [One People]

One tribe, one tribe
One tribe, one time, one planet, one [race]
Race, one love, one people, one [and]
Too many things that’s causing one [to]
Forget about the main cause
Connecting, uniting
But the evil is seen and alive in us
So our weapons are colliding
And our peace is sinking like Poseidon
But, we know that the one [one]
The evil one is threatened by the sum [sum]
So he’ll come and try and separate the sum
But he dumb, he didn’t know we had a way to overcome
Rejuvenated by the beating of the drum
Come together by the cycle of the hum
Freedom when all become one [one]
Forever

One tribe ya’ll
One tribe ya’ll
One tribe ya’ll
We are one people
Let’s cast amnesia
Forget about all that evil [evil]
Forget about all that evil [evil]
That evil that they feed ya
Let’s cast amnesia
Forget about all that evil [evil]
That evil, that they feed ya [feed ya]
Remember that we’re one people

We are one people
One people, one people [One People]
One people, one people [One People]
One people, one people [One People]

One love, one blood, one people
One heart, one beat, we equal
Connected like the internet
United that’s how we do
Lets break walls, so we see through
Let love and peace lead you
We could overcome the complication cause we need to
Help each other, make these changes
Brother, sister, rearrange this
The way I’m thinking that we can change this bad condition
Wait, use you mind and not your greed
Let’s connect and then proceed
This is something I believe
We are one, we’re all just people

One tribe ya’ll
One tribe ya’ll
One tribe ya’ll
We are one people
Let’s cast amnesia
Forget about all that evil
Forget about all that evil, that evil that they feed ya
Let’s cast amnesia
Let’s cast amnesia, forget about all that evil
That evil, that they feed ya
taboo_n_meWe’re one tribe ya’ll
We people, we people
One tribe ya’ll
One people, one people [One People]
One people, one people [One People]
One people, one people [One People]
One people, one people [One People]
One people, one people [One People]
One people, one people [One People]

Let’s, let’s cast amnesia
Lord help me out
Trying to figure out what its all about [what its all about]
Cause we’re one in the same [one in the same]
Same joy, same pain
And I hope that you’re there when I need ya
Cause maybe we need amnesia
And I don’t wanna sound like a preacher
But we need to be one

One world, one love, one passion
One tribe, one understanding
Cause you and me can become one.

———————————-

I couldn’t resist, a couple of pictures of me with the BEP in 1998 before they made it big, they were very gracious and excited that we were diggin’ their music. If the lyrics of the song are any indication, it seems that even with all this big time fame they still have the same loving, peaceful hearts. So refreshing.

Bonus Song of the Week – Divided States of America by Mood of Defiance

Friday, October 24th, 2008

I post a song of the week by former Zed Records owner, Michael Zampelli every Tuesday. But today I feel inspired to add a bonus song: Mood of Defiance doing Divided States of America.

It came about as a result of a Tweet I read by Zadi at twitter.com. In case you don’t know twitter, it’s a highly addictive way to keep track of a lot of people and a lot of things at once. It’s also your opportunity to share tidbits of information with people who choose to follow you.

Zadi wrote: “This campaign is turning into The United States of America VS The Divided States of America. We’re teetering on the edge of self-destruction.” This instantly caused the song Divided States of America to begin playing in my brain. I became obsessed with digging the album out of the top shelf of the closet, and forcing my husband to connect the turntable to the CD recorder so I could not only play it, but record it and have it on my iPod for eternity.

This song was an anthem for me in my youth yet I realize most American’s have never heard it. So, in the spirit of this ever-so-controversial presidential election I want to share it with you, with Zadi and anyone else who thinks we’re becoming the Divided States of America. It might take a second or two for the track to start, since it is vinyl and I did want to make sure you didn’t miss a thing.

On a side note, I have to say I enjoyed the whole process of getting an album out of it’s sleeve, putting the needle on the vinyl and hearing the popping sound that only vinyl makes. The artwork for the cover is clearly DIY which makes it all the more charming and for those who know or care about what this means, they come from Torrance, California. This album was recorded in 1979.

Rinkrat’s Song of the Week – 9-16-08 – We Will Not Fall by Kommunity FK

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

I’m so happy this is the song of the week. It was a staple for me in the late 80’s. I wore out the cassette tape, drove from Los Angeles to San Francisco to buy their album and paid $300 for a replacement after they’d all been swooped up from the marketplace. Enjoy.

Visit Kommunity FK on MySpace.

…or, watch the YouTube video for Something Inside Me Has Died. The sound quality is pretty bad but some of you might be due for a flashback:

I was so in love with Patrick Mata in my youth.

Nine Inch Nails Free Download

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

The song 6 Ghosts I reminded me of a tune I downloaded a long time ago titled Sarangarike by Frank Ngomba. It has that tribal, instinctual vibe to it that somehow helps me to feel more free to be me. You can download 6 Ghosts I from the Nine Inch Nails MySpace page. Or, you can get the entire album The Slip at their official website: nin.com.

You can also just click on this youtube video link and listen here. It’s not really a video per se, only a still picture but at least you can listen to the song and enjoy.

On a personal note, I might get to see Nine Inch Nails on September 6 at the Forum in Inglewood, CA. I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed.

Rinkrat’s Song of the Week – 8-12-08 – Capital Letters by Ruefrex

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

Ruefrex Capital LettersRuefrex’s Capital Letters is a perfect example of entertaining, yet political, punk rock.

The chorus lines says; “‘Cause they’re keeping the airwaves open for capital letters.” One of two things crosses my mind when I hear those lyrics. First is how we respect people with “capital letters” behind their name even when they haven’t earned it. Second is how the information we receive is determined by capital letters like NBC, CBS and ABC and of course the proper names and institutions, in which we place blind faith. By the way, the diet industry, pharmaceutical industry and fashion industry are “Capital Letters”.

Agree? Disagree? Post your comments below.

Darth Vadar and Sandy Olsson from Grease – What Do They Have in Common?

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Darth Vadar - Empire Strikes BackWhat do the Grease soundtrack, Galvanize by the Chemical Brothers and the Empire Strikes Back soundtrack have in common? They’re all mixed together to produce a dance party mix called Full Party Ben Kenobi 2007. If you’re a savvy downloader, I’d suggest you crank up iTunes and zip this baby in.

Grease SoundtrackThe mash-up begins with Chemical Brother’s Galvanize (my theme song) and music from the Empire Strikes Back blended together into a powerful mix.

Ingredients in the remaining tracks include Beastie Boys, Queen, Gorillaz, Public Enemy, Deep Purple, Rolling Stones, Madonna, Steve Miller, Rod Stewart (Do You Think I’m Sexy?), Tegan and Sarah and other classic party favorites woven together with strategic samples from the Star Wars, Rocky and Grease soundtrack’s. Pump up the volume and feel the force.

Rinkrat’s Song of the Week – 7-22-08 – Anne Braden by Flobots

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

“There is another America”. That’s a line from the song that tells the story of Anne Braden. The “other America” knows that oppression and predjudice are wrong. We know it’s all about power and control and we know that power violations grow in the dark. This “song” is as much a spoken word piece as it is hip hop. Flobots entertain and mesmerize us as they shed light on the story of a white Civil Rights activist who protested the lynching and slavery of blacks in the South.

Their album, Fight with Tools is a rousing piece of lyrical art woven from bits of rock and roll, hip hop and alternative rock. A violin floats in and out drawing memories of American Heritage stories. I hear influences ranging from Rage Against the Machine to Black Eyed Peas to Bauhaus. The lyrics are hauntingly familiar. These are the words that appear in classic books and great songs in every genre since music began.

The sound is edgy enough to be cool and Pop enough to be accessible. I can imagine a seven-year-old and her mother rockin’ this in an SUV or a 60-year-old hippie smoking a joint and saying “this is the way it used to be.” One of their songs might end up being played at halftime during the Super Bowl some day. Even though I’m only posting Anne Braden here, I highly encourage you to go to their MySpace or their website and listen to more. You can read the lyrics on-line if you click on this link.

Even though this isn’t really a video, you can click play button below to hear the song.

If that doesn’t work, try clicking play here. Then, turn up the speakers and enjoy.
