In the daylight, it goes, it goes, it goes
In the daylight, it goes, it goes, it goes
In the daylight, it goes, it goes, it goes

And the people go

In the daylight

“Good Taste”
I got a good taste in my mouth
And know exactly how it got there
It was a sweet peach in my garden
I tended with my own two hands
I said I got a good taste in my mouth
And know exactly how it got there
No I wasn’t sitting pretty
Got this good taste from getting dirty
...dirty
Don’t need their education
Don’t need their okay
I don’t give a fuck is my soup of the day
Didn’t ask their opinion
Never needed to
I got this taste doin what I wanna
Don’t need their education
Don’t need their okay
I don’t give a fuck is my soup of the day
Didn’t ask their opinion
Never needed to
I got this taste doin…
...What?
Don’t need their education
Don’t need their okay
I don’t give a fuck is my soup of the day
Didn’t ask their opinion
Never needed to
I got this taste doin what I wanna…
Doooo
Cuz I got a good taste in my mouth
And know exactly how it got there
It was a ripe melon in my garden
Caressed with my two bare hands
I said I LOVE this good taste in my mouth
And know exactly how it got there
No, this taste -- it ain't leavin
It’s always in season...cuz
I got a...
Good taste, good taste yea
Good taste, good taste, yea
Good taste, good taste, yea
I got it. I got it. I GOT IT.
I got a...
Good taste, good taste, yeaaaa
What do I gotta do?
Nothin’...
Cuz I got a good taste.

“Mama’s Got Snacks”
Wherever there’s water
There is life
Wherever there’s life
There is friction
Wherever there’s friction
There is strife
And when there’s strife...
Mama’s got snacks
Mama’s got snacks
She spreads her arms like branches
And drops you a fig
Her belly bulges like a watermelon
She cuts you a slice
Ma I need something sour
She squeezes lemon right from her tongue
Cuz she’s got carrots and melons and grapes, cocoa, raisins, rice cakes
A mother knows
Just what’s at stake...
She’s got snacks
Mamas got snacks
Here comes the sun
She puts some rays in her basket
Here comes a gun
She pours the lead in her basket too
When everybody runs
She’s rooted like a redwood tree
Cuz she’s got carrots and melons and grapes, cocoa, raisins, rice cakes
A mother knows
Who she needs to be...
She’s got snacks
Mamas got snacks
She got em…
Mama got snacks
Sometimes Mama gets tired
Of holding everybody up
Feeding all those spirits
Sometimes feels rough
Nobody thanks her
Not that she expects it
And so she
Sits in her own shade
With cocoa, raisins, rice, cakes
Sippin on sour lemonade
Sour lemonade!
Eating her own snacks.
Mamas got snacks
Mamas got snacks
Mama got
Mama got
Mama got
Mama got
Mama got...
Ooh ooh
Ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh
Ooh ooh
Enough for everybody
Ooh ooh
Ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh
Ooh ooh
Enough for everybody
Ooh ooh
Ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh
Ooh
Mama’s got...
Snacks.

“Voices”
There was a thin center in the thicket
And a voice
Was on it
Thin center in the thicket
And a voice, ooooon
It spoke in high and low tones
Sharp and rigid
Sharp and rigid
High and low tones
Sharp and rigid
And everybody
Wanted to see it
Wanted to feel its...
Origins
And everybody
Wanted to see it
Wanted to feel it
Wanted to see it
And everybody
Wanted to see it
Wanted to feel its
Origins
And everybody
Wanted to see it
Wanted to feel it
And if you brought your heart and showed where it lay
Something would sound
Something would sound
And if you brought your heart and showed where it lay
Something would sound
Something would sound…
But there was another thing…
Crawling outside, the perimeter…
In the roooose bushes
Another thing
Crawling outside, the perimeter
In the rooose…
It cracked twigs
It sighed, between moans, between moans
It cracked twigs
It sighed, between moans
It didn’t feel like a wounded creature
It felt like…
ICE WIND
With a power
As uncontrollable as a smile or stare
And after awhile, you could hear both sound voices
At the same time
And you knew of their intentions, their intentions
You knew...
And after awhile, you could hear both sound voices
At the same time
And you knew of their intentions, their intentions…
You knew where it came from
You knew its moments of birth
Its moments of birth
Its moments of birth
You knew where it came from
You knew its moments of birth
Its moments of birth
Its moments of birth
Yet somehow you couldn’t say anything (repeats x 5)
(Moments of birth)
Yet somehow you couldn’t say anything (repeats)

“Everything is Slow Motion”
Everything is slow motion like
It’s not supposed to hurt
Everything is slow motion like
It’s not supposed to hurt
Cries rise up like the ocean tide
They’re silenced by the surf
Cries rise up like the ocean tide
They’re silenced by the surf
Knocked and bruised
Slowly used
Seconds beat
In a tomb
Knocked and bruised
Slowly used
Seconds beat
In a tomb
And...everything is slow motion like
It’s not suppose to hurt
It’s slow motion like.
It’s not suppose to hurt
For the need spoke in a child’s lie
Afraid she is no good
The need spoke in a child’s like
Afraid she is no good
Lynched, abused
All reduced
All is fine
All is moot
Lynched, abused
All reduced
I am fine
How are you?
I am fine
How are you?
I am fine
How are you?

“African Prayer”
Let us care for the children for they got a long way to go
Let us care for the children for they got a long way to go
A long way to go
A long way to go
A long way to go
A long way to go
Let us care for the elders for they’ve come a long way
Let us care for the elders for they’ve come a long way
They’ve come a long way
A long way
They’ve come a long way
A long way
Let’s care for those in the middle for they're doin the work
Let’s care for those in the middle for they’re doin the work
They’re doin the work
They’re doin the work
They’re doin the work
They’re doin the work
So take in our garden
However it may grow
There’s no right way
And nothing stays
And that’s just how it goes
That’s how it goes
That’s how it goes
That’s how it goes
That’s how it goes
That’s how it goes
That’s how it goes
That’s how it goes
That’s how it goes

“In Between Sound”
Oh ha, Oh ha, oh ha,
Oh ha, Oh ha…
In between sound
We meet
We meet
We meet
We form a crown
Each piece, complete
We meet
Oh ha, oh ha, oh ha…
With feet on the ground
Earth beats
Earth beats
Earth beats
A movement abounds
Arms greet
In peace
Earth beats
Oh ha, oh ha, oh ha…
Come in I saved a place
For you, for you, for you
Come in I saved a place
For you, for you, for you
Oh ha, oh ha, oh ha…

“Watering”
We hold our hope at a watering hole
Cup our hands and fill up our bowl
Drink beside friend and foe
We hold our hope at a watering hole
...oooh
We hold our hope at a watering hole
Cup our hands and fill up our bowl
Let hope slip down, down our throat
Can it move our soul?
ooohhh...
Spread mud
Over my feet
Press earth
To my chest
Spread mud
Over my feet
Sometimes, when I don’t know
I’m at my...
At my, best
We hold our hope at a watering hole
Cup our hands and fill up our bowl
Let hope slip down, down our throat
Can it move...
Can it move...
Our soul?
Can it move?
(our soul)
Can it move?
(our soul)
Can it move?
Our soul…?
