East to the west (feat. LZ Love) Lyrics


Woo-hoo!To the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stopTo the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stopOne to creation, one to the sun
One to the mornin', one to the one
One to the air and the freshness we breathe an
One to the force of the change in the seasonsOne to the mother from which all things come
One to the daughters and one to the sons
One to the Father who helps us believe that
Nothin's ever gonna harm you see anOne to the soldier who walks city streets an
One to the soldier who fights overseas an
One to the man who gets down on his knees an
Prays for god and send protection please anTo the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West

One love people never gonna stopTo the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stopOne to the woman one to the man
One to the culture from the time when it began
One to destruction one to birth
One to the people who still fight for the earthOne to the people who suffer for the needs and
One to the rebels who love rockin' to the beats an
One to the healer who fights our disease and
One to the Lorax who speaks for the trees'Cause no amount of money and no amount of man
Can bring back to life what's gone when it's done and
One to the people who rise with the sun and
One to the people who sleep when it's down 'causeTo the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stopTo the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stopThis whole thing seems upside down
The whole wide world keeps turnin' around
This whole thing seems upside down
The whole wide world keeps turnin' aroundLife is too short to make just one decision
Musics to large for just one station
Love is to big for just one nation and
God is to big for just one religionOne to the practice of bein' in the flow and
One to the tears of the things we let go and
One to the moment we live in right now and
One to the East West North and SouthTo the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stopTo the East to the West
To the North and South
To the East to the West
One love people never gonna stopSing!This whole thing seems upside down
The whole wide world keeps turnin' around
This whole thing seems upside down
The whole wide world keeps turnin' aroundThis whole things Hip-Hoppers seems upside down
The whole Punk Rockers wide world keeps turnin' around
This woodstockers and loose rockers whole things seems upside down
The whole wide world keeps turnin' around

Michael Franti is a gifted and much-heralded spoken word artist and political activist from San Francisco, CA. As leader of the politically and socially-charged group Spearhead, Franti is at the forefront of hip-hop's renaissance, expanding the music's boundaries as he draws on funk and soul-driven beats. Through his music and poetry, Franti tackles a range of issues--the criminal justice system, corporatization of our daily lives, AIDS, gay rights, homelessness, the death penalty, drug addiction and suicide.

His project Spearhead produced the critically acclaimed Home in 1990. The album contained his biggest single, "Hole in the Bucket," a thoughtful lament on the plight of the homeless, and "Positive," which addressed the growing AIDS epidemic. The album boasted adept funk samplings, sinuous guitar vamps, and soulful, melodic tracks about family and social injustice. 1997's Chocolate Supa Highway was not as pop-friendly as Home, but neither did its themes of kidnappings and police brutality lend themselves to such overt accessibility. Its mixture of harsher musical styles -- techno, rock, and funk -- was a step forward for Franti as his world view broadened and deepened. In 2001, Franti released Stay Human. In it he expresses his anger at the system, his advocacy of love, and his belief in freedom through individuality and self-expression through a set of songs that revolve around a fictitious death penalty case. In it, his embrace of the genres that inspired him is achieved with eloquence.

Earlier projects of Franti include The Beatnigs and The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy, which had more of an experimental/industrial sound, but addressed many of the same social/political issues.

As a celebration of the Election of Barack Obama Franti recorded the Obama Song, offered as a free track on downloaded at their offical website, www.michaelfranti.com/.
