JAS Lyrics by Tim Liken

The Radicle

2016

Intro:
This is all kind of a mass culture, we live in
And it makes you, you look
You look like something or act like something that you really aren’t
You know, it’s like, um, a falseness
It’s like a mass personality
Just made me so narrow, that I couldn’t, really, do
I gave myself justice
So, I just broke totally away from that whole mighty damn thing
They had a lot of rules and regulations which just didn’t fit with me you know
I wanna do this the way I wanna do it
I wanna determine my own destiny
I wanna determine how I am to speak on a stage
I don’t wanna be a mass personality
I don’t wanna be a one dimension
I wanna bе me
I wanna be human
Chorus/Hook:
[Echo] Jas, jas, jas, jas, jas
Miles Davis, Nina Simonе, John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane
They are very serious kinds of artists
They approach their, their craft as it’s a life, a way of life
[Echo] Jas, jas, jas, jas, jas
Verse One:
A form of relaxation
It’s a form of emotional release
I felt raised, I felt lifted
And I realised that once I began to take my art form seriously, that, the divinity, would wrap me
Hook:
[Echo] Jas, jas, jas, jas, jas
[Echo] Jas, jas, jas, jas, jas
[Echo] Jas, jas, jas, jas, jas
[Echo] Jas, jas, jas, jas, jas
Verse Two:
Gave me a discipline
It gave me, um, an ability to, to expand my mental power
Because then I had to begin to analyse
And look into all this emotion, all this feeling
And all of this gave me a-a-a-a sense of totalness
I-I need to be in an atmosphere that is free, that is open, that is striving for truth
And not somebody else dictating to you how to do your thing
Chorus/Hook:
[Echo] Jas, jas, jas, jas, jas
Miles Davis, Nina Simone, John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane
They are very serious kinds of artists
They approach their, their craft as it’s a life, a way of life
[Echo] Jas, jas, jas, jas, jas
Verse Three/Outro:
And I used to sit there all day and listen to all those beautiful voices, you know, black voices
And because of that, I got very involved with blackness
‘Cause, it was more, more me I guess
