SHE ROLLED MY HAIR AND PUT MY LIPSTICK ON
IN THE GLASS OF HER BOUDOIR

LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SAY"

GIVE YOURSELF PRUDENCE
AND LOVE YOUR FRIENDS
SUBWAY KID, REJOICE YOUR TRUTH

IN THE RELIGION OF THE INSECURE
I MUST BE MYSELF, RESPECT MY YOUTH

I LOVE MY LIFE I LOVE THIS RECORD AND
MI AMORE VOLE FE YAH (LOVE NEEDS FAITH)

DON'T BE A DRAG, JUST BE A QUEEN
WHETHER YOU'RE BROKE OR EVERGREEN
YOU'RE BLACK, WHITE, BEIGE, CHOLA DESCENT
YOU'RE LEBANESE, YOU'RE ORIENT
WHETHER LIFE'S DISABILITIES
LEFT YOU OUTCAST, BULLIED, OR TEASED
REJOICE AND LOVE YOURSELF TODAY
'CAUSE BABY YOU WERE BORN THIS WAY

NO MATTER GAY, STRAIGHT, OR BI,

NO MATTER BLACK, WHITE OR BEIGE

Lyrics for the New Year: Changes - B. Slade

Taken from the new B.Slade album, "Stereotype: collector's edition," this song really coins much of where many of my fellow musicians are right now in regards to the state of the world and our artistic journey. Read and marinate.


I.

People it's time for some changes
People it's time for new faces
I just don't know about we are going
but something inside me say change
and I'm gonna
yes, I'm gonna change
yes, I'm gonna change

ooooh
everyone goes through changes
people and animals changes
changes
trees in winter summer and fall we go and..

people they switch on you
people they leave you with changes
it's so lovely
if you ain't changing you are dead
dead…


II.

People we need to do better
People it ain't getting no better
Mysteries , legends and truth of reality
Transcendental meditation
please go and study, son
hear the Talmud song
research your Torah

ooooh

everyone goes through changes
people and animals changes
it doesn't make sense in the physical realm
In the Universe changes
Dawn of Aquarius changes
Can't you see ?
the planets are aligned for you.


III.

God is a spirit
Don't limit Him
He made the Rainbow
Yes He did

and I'm sticking with Him
I gotta get into creation

I'm sticking with Him
wherever He blows He is the wind
and that's where I'll go
I'm going
I'm packing my bags
A genius
powerful He is
He's in you too
He's within you
God is within all of us
you just gotta search a little bit deeper son
the alpha and the omega

Time doesn't matter to me
because I'm not in time I'm in eternity
changes
Plants and animals changes
anything ain't changing is dead
anything not changing
faith without works is dead, dead, dead….
