High Low (feat. Zap Mama) Lyrics


We all walk through the valley below
We all need a little time alone
We all want a little heaven above
We all want somebody to loveYou, you and nobody else
You, you and nobody else
You, you and nobody else
You, you and nobody elseI want to be so high
I want to be so high
I want to be so high
I want to be so highOn the day a little baby born
Mama knew she couldn't be the one
But before she had to go
There's a love I want you to knowYou, you nobody else
You, you nobody else
You, you nobody else
You, you nobody elseI want to be so high
I want to be so high
I want to be so high

I want to be so highHigh, high, low, low
High, high, low, low
High, high, low, low
High, high, low, lowI want to be so high
I want to be so high
I want to be so high
I want to be so highHigh, high, low, low
High, high, low, low
High, high, low, low
High, high, low, low

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/.
