lyrics

“Re-creation” by Folasona Olorunsola, 2013

Verse 1:
I made a decision to be creatively driven
so show me the right road to be creating my vision
all I want to do is play drums, produce songs, write raps,
any other life feels wrong, show me the right path
guide me, to utilize the talent God provides me
bless the world with the gift of love that lives inside me
let it out, feelings so strong that I could never doubt
don't know how I'ma make it, but I know just where I'm headed now
if I ever get lost, please show me a better route
I'm trying to make moves like geese in the winter, headed south
setting out, on this long journey taking the first step
ready for change like a baby taking its first breath
it's a cold world out there, or so they say,
but songs soothe my soul like sunshine on summer days
some obstacles seem insurmountable still won't run away
cause they say, faith moves mountains so I'ma pray
then I'ma work, cause I know it'll work
out fine sometimes you can't go in reverse
so I let my lifeline flow like a verse
and rhyme for re-creation like the moment of birth
just being alive is a blessing that no one could curse
ashes to ashes, but savages think they're owning the earth
I just give thanks for the now, this present, I know what it's worth
and rhyme for re-creation like the moment of birth

Chorus:
rhyme re-creation, re-evolution, life celebration, love the solution
rhyme re-creation, re-evolution, life celebration, love the solution
re-creation,
re-evolution, celebration
re-creation
re-evolution, love solution

Verse 2:
I plant prayers like seeds and believe they're gon’ flourish
so I nurture the soil inside of the garden that nourish
my soul, fertilize it with faith commitment and courage
make music my home, not just a visiting tourist
flow so fresh and so clean, so say that brotha's a purist
my love for hip hop is pure, I could never ignore it
after the wack fall off and decay like leaves in the forest
I'll be here, the race ain't for the swift, but he that endureth
when the ice age of rap starts receding away
like glaciers during global warming, best believe I'ma stay
paint a picture perfect future on the canvas of today
properly mixing pigments from the palette of yesterday
scan my memories, to predict the moves of my enemies
for every mistake of my past strengthen my future with remedies
keep one eye on tomorrow, to know where today’s going
and pour myself into the current moment to stay flowing

Chorus:
rhyme re-creation, re-evolution, life celebration, love the solution
rhyme re-creation, re-evolution, life celebration, love the solution
re-creation,
re-evolution, celebration
re-creation
re-evolution, love solution

Verse 3:
My foresight, is sharpened by hindsight
and insight, is more important than eyesight
I try not to be blinded by the madness that I see
when I'm really looking, to establish who I be
so I could see, eye to eye with I purpose I
chose to look deep, peep beneath the surface dove
into the sea of my soul deeper than words could really describe
I saw freedom unfold as I emerged on the other side
third eye open wide, won't sleep on intuition no I won't deny
what I've always known, yet feared to acknowledge (knowledge) of self
much more real than a college degree, and I'm glad I got a degree
but look, no book could show me how to be me
and tuition you pay won't show you how to be free
like water drops absorbing sun to hop, out of the sea, it's elevation…
re-creation…celebration…liberation….
