vibe i - wone lyrics

yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah

son of a wonche man of the medicine
son of a soldier armed force veteran
westside 18th crenshaw and washington
gold coast shoreline midnight darkenin’
1619 400 walkin’ in elmina cape coast gouree ported in
story recorded in spirituals and imagery
skin coated melanin livin’ in the memory
whole world wholesaled imprisoned in our misery
vividly the struggle we endured in our history
defined through the hustle we insured so artistically
aligned in our dance and the pure drums mystically
from the village to the streets
comes the rhythm and the beats
diatribe is the only vibe i see

from the village to the streets
comes the rhythm and the beats
diatribe is the only vibe i see

middle passage came it wasn’t no soul train
san juan bautista a river they called james
please don’t confuse with the godfather of soul
the big payback is a story that’s never told
shielded tucked suffocated or thrown away
yielded incarcerated and blown away
come on feet (keep runnin’)
the song of our back still sweet
bleedin’ of my mama and papa but never me
who was the first to chant to heal the hurt (me!)
who was channelin’ all the spirits while tillin’ dirt (me!)
who was cypherin’ on the block and gettin murk’d (me!)
who was dancin’ singin’ excluded while they at work (me!)
who was pinpointed broken down stolen from and stopped (stopped)
who was being clocked and jocked and hit with rocks (rocks)
descendants of van peebles, spike and fanaka
griots god’s jali toltecatl in oaxaca
henrik clarke, josef ben, sebi dr. claude
maya madame walker and abroad
we are the artists the warriors of word (word)
and movement mastery majesty observed
obo and a. wone
proud where we came from
sittin’ on the edge we were
masters from day one
landed in a portal (portal)
alien in nature (nature)
twenty fingers clenched
on a mission we gone take ya
from the village to the streets
comes the rhythm and the beats
diatribe is the only vibe i see

from the village to the streets
comes the rhythm and the beats
diatribe is the only vibe i see

i be afforded and endowed with a gift
teach the world rhythm to feed the soul in the glyph

d is the duty is every artist should assume
i is the influence so inspired when in tune
a is the call that the art sparks all
t is the tree strong roots sprout tall
r is the royalty you feel when you’re free
i is individuality me
b is the beauty from the groove we share
e is essential to effect everywhere

from the village to the streets
comes the rhythm and the beats
diatribe is the only vibe i see

from the village to the streets
comes the rhythm and the beats
diatribe is the only vibe i see
from the village to the streets
comes the rhythm and the beats
diatribe is the only vibe i see

now you get it
i know you get it now
diatribe
what we wanna do is
connect the 54 nations to the 50 states
show all the history where everything derived from
the chronological lineage
through all the years
close the gap
rich history
bridge the culture
learn the languages
trade it off
i give you somethin
you give me somethin back
we gone go back and get it
sankofa connect it all
liberate the spirit the mind and the people
through music
movement
that’s it ‘
i like that
gone get it
come on……
