People Of The Light Lyrics by Tumi and the Volume

Live at the Bassline

2004

[Pebbles]
You shed a little light for me to see
I hope and trust you wouldn’t lie to me
The glow in us could and might just be
'Cause you shed a little light for me to see
I hope and trust you wouldn’t lie to me
The glow in us could and might just be
[Tumi: Verse 1]
Okay... Ay yo
Forests lose acres for me to carry solo newspapers
Is what I do greater than how I view nature
Leave it to God, if I know I’ll get at you later
Malcontent like Malcolm X, a last crusader
Chill out like the energy the afternoon’s made of
Take a long walk in the park and pass a few neighbours
But the attitude make this feel like you haters
Can’t look me in the eye staring down my shoelaces
I reside from the same God that made you screw faces
The same God Buddhist, Hindus and Jews praise, kid
But you tighten grips on your suitcases
I let it slide 'cause I just don’t do hatred
But the very same thing happens after a few paces
The irony of life enters my new phrases
It can’t be too late, kid for the times you wasted
I concentrate on mine giving minds a new facelift
We too sacred to make minor feuds break us
Chill at the spot where the baselines are blues take us
And rhyme to flutes played with infallible patience
Yo… I’m using art to invite the true ancient
[Chorus: Tumi, Pebbles & Both]
'Cause it don’t take a rocket scientist to get to the moon
Every man and woman got their own ten minute zoom
People of the light generate a glow in the room
I hear the wind whisper love I’ll be coming home soon
'Cause it don’t take a rocket scientist to get to the moon
Every man and woman got their own ten minute zoom
People of the light generate a glow in the room
I hear the wind whisper love I’ll be coming home soon
You shed a little light for me to see
I hope and trust you wouldn’t lie to me
The glow in us could and might just be
[Verse 2: Tumi]
Ayo… sooner than you thought we’ll be floating out
Taking lunar walks outshining
Stars with the light seen through the fog
But for now we still learning what it means to be poor
Children’s’ screams blew the war like scenes of before
Political rallies with bullets speed to your core
Blood sweeps through the floor, red sheets in the morgue
A widow willow[?] weeps to the streets in the raw
Like when will it cease when will peace reach us all
Fast forward to the present and the beast that’s still at call
Change your face and name at least you spoken for
This is the same oppression my peeps can ill afford
Privatised basic health water and minerals
Analyse ancient change and slaughters on the news
But my people still generate a glow in the room
I hear the wind whisper love I’ll be coming home soon
But people of the light still generate a glow in the room
[Chorus: Tumi, Pebbles and Both]
'Cause it don’t take a rocket scientist to get to the moon
Every man and woman got their own ten minute zoom
People of the light generate a glow in the room
I hear the wind whisper love I’ll be coming home soon
'Cause it don’t take a rocket scientist to get to the moon
Every man and woman got their own ten minute zoom
People of the light generate a glow in the room
I hear the wind whisper love I’ll be coming home soon
You shed a little light for me to see
I hope and trust you wouldn’t lie to me
The glow in us could and might just be
'Cause you shed a little light for me to see
I hope and trust you wouldn’t lie to me
The glow in us could and might just be
It don’t take no rocket scientist to get me to the moon
Every man and woman’s got their own ten minute zoom
Zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom
[Chorus: Tumi]
Help me out y’all
'Cause It don’t take a rocket scientist to get me to the moon
Every man and woman got their own ten minute zoom
People of the light generate a glow in the room
I hear the wind whisper love I’ll be coming home soon
'Cause It don’t take a rocket scientist to get me to the moon
Every man and woman got their own ten minute zoom
People of the light generate a glow in the room
I hear the wind whisper love…
[Bridge: Pebbles]
I’ll be coming home soo-oon
Every man and woman got their own ten minute zoom
People of the light generate a glow in the room
I hear the wind whisper love I’ll be coming home… soo-oo-oon
[Outro: Tumi]
Thank you very much!
