Inspired by Purple Katie who said "Harbour the Hope", produced by Anorak.

lyrics

CHORUS:

Harbour the hope, cos it can be dope,

don't hang ourselves with the rope made of hemp,

whether your a farmer or a temp, you can help prevent

negative intent with a positive intent

in a yurt, tipi, roundhouse, geo-dome or a tent...

whether you're squatting, in a van, on site or paying rent,

a man that's free on land that's common. Tents

or pyramids, our superpower's merely common sense.

VERSE 1

Don't think too much, just write what needs to be said

in flows that make your bros hold their head, know the ledge.

Showboating ain't the ting, it's expressing what makes you cry

tears of pain... or tears of laughter. Shake two dice

no need to gamble but don't fear the shame... but steer from darker

paths ....you could have walked... I ignored the laughs

and changed the cast of my story from those who abhor your

success to those who adore your success, true supporters not crabs to claw ya

back to the bottom of the bucket. Now you love it,

every word has my royal seal, if you see the seal don't club it,

animal lovers, people lovers, fat politician haters,

to fat politician forgivers and flashmobbin meditators -

have you ever felt like you weren't born to fill out form after form

just to justify your existence before the dawn?

Have you ever felt like the price of living is a lie,

looked at the friggin price in the supermarket and said 'bredrin why?'

Tell em "bye", "Do You" say Dilexic and Vincent,

But really DO what you do when you do you. I rep it, yes I've BEEN sent,

God's gift to them breakbeats n dub rhythms - my selecta revealing it.

Real recognise real feelings kid... and thats what we're dealing wit....


CHORUS:

Harbour the hope, cos it can be dope,

don't hang ourselves with the rope made of hemp,

whether your a farmer or a temp, you can help prevent

negative intent with a positive intent

in a yurt, tipi, roundhouse, geo-dome or a tent...

whether you're squatting, in a van, on site or paying rent,

a man that's free on land that's common. Tents

or pyramids, our superpower's merely common sense.



VERSE 2
I could have been Super Tennant sippin on the corner

but I'm sippin pure hemp oil from the bottle

...like a nutter. Spittin pure intent to inspire - FYAH!

...Don't bottle up emotions, watching Babylon topple.

Spittin for cool boys n girls sippin discontent from the government

or sippin at the bar unconcerned with what's troublin,

or sippin pure wheat grass from the shot glass

not half bad, Whose Bad? MJ got the last laugh.



Real recognise real, there can be no disguise

like those who live by the sea have different looks in their eyes

and people in the ghetto have a different way to walk,

and those who live in nature have a different way to talk.



A friend said "Harbour the hope, cos it can be dope,"

I said "don't hang ourselves with the rope made of hemp,"

whether your a farmer or a temp, you can help prevent

...negative intent... with a positive intent

in a yurt, tipi or a tent, or caravan or paying rent,

they've been taxing us for paying them for wars for slaying men.

London to Bristol, Jupiter to Venus, from the stars to Kent.

Indigo troops again, Supermen - pars for them Clark Kents.



I don't think I'm better than you, I know it's all perception,

I was just blinded by the years of striving for perfection.

I passed some tests and failed some, humbled by my pain and fall

like that kid who thinks he's super saiyan, no trainin at all.



You don't understand my lyrics?

...use google... or try to think for yourself.

Do you understand irony? We drink to our health,

many toast to life with poison after manifesting wealth.

I used to drink to lose my non-existent inhibitions

then was drinking just to resonate and ease the social friction.

Documentaries about morrocan hemp and leaves prevented me

from stopping smoking... on some "you must be joking!"

But we all watch different things and get different things from them.

We all learn different things, burn different things, Ohm then

realise we gotta DO something, get off our arses,

like Clark Kent or Peter Parker when either's lost the glasses.



CHORUS:

Harbour the hope, cos it can be dope,

don't hang ourselves with the rope made of hemp,

whether your a farmer or a temp, you can help prevent

negative intent with a positive intent

in a yurt, tipi, roundhouse, geo-dome or a tent...

whether you're squatting, in a van, on site or paying rent,

a man that's free on land that's common. Tents

or pyramids, our superpower's merely common sense.
