NASA’s The People Tree featuring David Byrne, Chali 2na & Z-trip
2:25 starts the best verse, listen on youtube or imeem… Z-trip & -Chali2na:
Born in the ever-flowing life beyond the dirt
Tell me what the purpose is for creating the earth
- Maybe we created the planet as man’s habitat
Be fruitful and multiply across the planet’s back
Well, why does hate exist? The war and AIDS and shit? If we’re to be fruitful, why can’t poor people pay they rent?
-‘Cause love and hate, both sides are conjoined, physical forms have to deal with both sides of the coin
Why do we die?
-So you can live
Why do we strive?
-So you can win.. But why did you defy every truthful word I recommend?
My question back, why do you recommend an ode temptationing?
-So I can test your patience and tolerance in the face of sin
But why attest when you hold all the answers to the state we in?
-For you to bear witness of imperfections of mortal men
So it’s a lesson?
-And a blessing Journey back to where you been
‘Cause before the tree can flourish seeds must first be planted in
