DIFFERENT STRINGS
(Verse 1)
The accent circonflexe, hey, will stay
Forever and ever on the hit name Ché
And even if I die today or rap goes away
Or come what may, Ché will remain Ché le Chuxx
Chucking up the bucks
And chucking out the records so everybody rocks
That’s the job I indulge in, my passion for it is undimmed
And so I bash and stash on the pressure
In such a manner you think it’s mana from heaven
But if I tried to box I’d never make it past seven
What I’m trying to say is that you’re you and I’m me – different stringers –
And life’s the melody we hit when we strike our separate keys
So cease watching me and make your own decrees
The real time that a man is wrong is when he’s evil
Not when he doesn’t belong to the gang, the stand, the normal order
He’s got his own stand, shallower or broader
It’s part of what life is all about
We come naked, unimpressioned, and then we sprout wings
Different, in pattern with our featheings
I got my own ideals and my own king
That’s what I sing, I care less if it stings
Different hearts beat on different strings
(CHORUS)
If I die oh would you help me on
Or would you hold me back and tell me that it’s here that I belong?
And if I cry oh, would you stand by me
Or would you walk away and leave me to my destiny?
(Verse 2)
Identicality is a lie
Similarity might be a nearer cry to the truth
But we’re too lazy, so we rebuff
But we’ve got to learn to develop the spirit of tolerance
Though at times that means bearing pain, OK, but no pain, no gain
See a life without pain may be a life in vain, huh, nothing gained, I maintain
I sustain the flame as I groove on
Life’s not static, so everybody’s gotta move on
It doesn’t matter if you’re leaving the world behind
Or if you’re crossing lines, don’t decline or recline
Just go for your own things, play on your own strings
Follow your heart til it brings you the ultimate dream that gleamed, beamed
And seemed like a dream for life because you deemed yourself low, unimportant
So, fool, you floated, discordant
Trying to beat me in what I do is stupid
SO stop. Go in and find the real you
And understand their laws are an illusion
We make our own lives, each man an institution
Cause different eyes see different things
Yeah, different hearts beat on different strings
(CHORUS)
If I die oh would you help me on
Or would you hold me back and tell me that it’s here that I belong?
And if I cry oh, would you stand by me
Or would you walk away and leave me to my destiny?
(BRIDGE)
I die when I sleep
I rise when I weep
I fly when I creep
And I stand when I leap... (....*jowling*...)
(Verse 3)
Beyond all dreams there’s the other possibility
More than just a possibility, infact a certainty
Standing stronger than the strongest mountain
It’s so clear to me, I find it strange that you’re doubting
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can see it in your eyes:
„How does a man live again when he dies?“
And oh yeah it’s there in your eyes
That you can’t conceive of a home beyond the skies
Now let me tell you the reason why
You’re seeking with your mind for a thing beyond time
But if you reach out with your spirit again
You’ll find you’re above shadowy dreams and on a higher plane
Now I can guess at your next question:
„What must I do to feel my spirit section?“
Well you are you, so you do what you feel
But for me, I take things simple, I take them chilled
I get, I give, I try to live my life with compassion
To always forgive those who touched me bad and made me sad
But that’s my own path, my own special fad
But for you – when they strike, you may want to fight
And that’s right if the spirit is alight
Cause the different birds sprout different wings
Huh, different hearts beat on different strings
Beat on different strings, beat on different strings, beat on different strings...
(....*jowling*...)
(CHORUS)
If I die oh would you help me on
Or would you hold me back and tell me that it’s here that I belong?
And if I cry oh, would you stand by me
Or would you walk away and leave me to my destiny?
