Martial Arts Do Not Exist (In America) Lyrics by Sifu Freddie Lee

2014

America is not ready for the martial arts
True art is expressing yourself straight from the heart
Body, mind and spirit is not meant to be broken apart
Without the spirit, the martial artist becomes a fighter
A real Martial Artist will never retire
Every fighter will eventually expire
A real martial artist is like water not fire
A sifu is not someone that you hire
A sifu lives the way
He cannot be easily found everyday
Like a Zen master he is hidden away
You cannot understand him through intellect
You need to become the sage yourself and resurrect
You are the Buddha, that is correct
Find the inner spirit within and connect
You will never discover the secret if you dissect
You need to become who you wish to be
Don't be misguided by those on TV
Telling you over and over again to be like me
To be authentically yourself is the key
When you express yourself truthfully you will see
Buddha came upon a significant realization sitting under the Bodhi Tree
He realized that he should no longer follow
He himself is the Apollo
The light is within him
Not within any religion
The ending of desire and the development of compassion
Teaching people the way became his only passion
Expressing the truth, his teachings can never be out of fashion
All you see within this media and culture is a distraction
To try to take you away from right action
Those who are blind will have a violent reaction
Like in Plato's Allegory of the cave
Mostly everybody in this world is chained down like a slave
Blinded in darkness they cannot see the light
Force them to come out and their eyes will hurt because it is too bright
Their eyes will have so much pain they may even lose their sight
They are used to being in darkness seeing shadows
Encouraging them to break free and come out of the cave is a constant battle
What they see they think is truth
If you speak otherwise, they want proof
Drag them out of the cave and they will scream
Like taking the drugs away from a dope fiend
Your intentions are good but they will treat you very mean
Very few are ready to wake up from the dream
They may even seek to kill you if you destroy their fantasy
Not everybody in this world is ready for the reality
It is difficult guiding others towards developing their spirituality
So the real Martial Arts ends up remaining hidden
As you can see, teachings on spirituality in public schools are forbidden
Real martial arts cannot exist in the West because the laws of America cannot be overridden
