Get Myself to Saturday Lyrics

I never knew that life was simple but could have so many wrinkles
The potholes and the pitbulls and my bankrolls and my pimples
All the things that I be stressing only keep me from the blessings
I'm falling down and standing up and walking through the lessonsThere is a part of me that always means to pray
And there is a part of me that wants to run away
And there is a part of me that can't go on today
And there is a part of me that always finds a wayBut I'm looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
Looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
Looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
Looking for a way to get myself to SaturdayI raise my hands up to the sky and sometimes I wonder why
The blessed people in the world always seem to fly away
My mama is an angel and taught me to live proper
Didn't know him very well, but I'm glad I met my papaThere is a part of me that always means to pray
And there is a part of me that wants to run away
And there is a part of me that can't go on today
And there is a part of me that always finds a wayBut I'm looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
Looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
Looking for a way to get myself to Saturday

Looking for a way to get myself to Saturday(Yeah)It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alrightI'm looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
Looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
I'm looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
I'm looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
I'm looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
Looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
Looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
I'm looking for a way to get myself to Saturday(Yeah)I'm looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
Looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
I'm looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
I'm looking for a way to get myself to Saturday
(Looking for a way to get myself to Saturday)

Michael Franti & Spearhead

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/.
