Ugly American

hey hey...it's like 2..4..6..8..
and um... Nasdaq futures are... lookin great!
and um... So's America... uh!... So's democracy
I love the media... Ha!... there's no hypocracy
and I... love Sean Hannity and I trust the man implicitly
I... Believe the president... there's no complicity
in... All these Indonesian people's mysery
... Got a big silver spoon and a bowl of false history
And... How I spend all my time is not a mystery
Got... a BIG bottle o wine...my breath is blisterin
And... I'm flippin channels lookin for some nudity
Got... All I need in my house... Fuck my community
And... I don't like women and I... Hate minorities
I... Believe that people should trust in their authorities
And I... Hate these Taxes! and I... Blame the POOR!
And I... Believe whatever they say about the War
And I... Hate the terrorists, but don't know why they hate us
... ... I think it's obvious: America's the greatest!

But I can't stop now. I'm just... gettin started
I think sensitivity's GAY... plus retarded!
And I... don't trust men who don't... watch football
and I... don't think men should touch other men at all!
I never... hugged my father. We just... watched TV
And moms... Was always busy... cookin for twenty-three
And I... Hate ALL Towelheads and dad... Hates ALL gooks
and I... Got this ribbon. Says:... "Support our Troops!"
And it's... Ridin' high... on my... S.U.V.
And "I'm proud to be an AMERICAN... Where I know at least I'm free!"

[GreenEarthAl]

I don't have a tv. I'm outta touch.

I'm about to go out and Rap again tonight. I'll see if I can get a picture.

[adrockmelanie]

perfect. absolutely perfect.

[GreenEarthAl]

Well, I didn't get to perform my new song "Be Peace" on wednesday night. There were too many performers (Too many MCs, not enough mics).

BUt I did get a chance to sing Commit. My friend Dwin was kind enough to lay down some hand drumming for me.

http://www.amprosoft.com/pics/MAP/Commit.jpg
(it's a good song. Just singing that is enough I spoze)

Commit

I'm gonna love like my life depends on it
I commit
and I tell you this
I'm gonna love like my life depends on it cause it DOES

I'm gonna walk the street and greet the people I meet and say hi
I'm gonna try to touch those that don't object too much till I die
I'm gonna join every last community, I can be even more good neighborly
I'm gonna love like my life depends on it cause it DOES
I'm gonna fight to free you from all this shit
I commit, I commit, I commit
I'm gonna love like my life depends on it cause it DOES


My tv hasn't worked for a year and I don't care
I've done a lot more walkin and talking and living out there
I have filled up my mind with some damn fine books I have filled up my mind with whatever it took
It's helped me fight like my life was on the hook because it WAS
I'm gonna fight to free us from all this shit
I commit, I commit, I commit
I'm gonna love like my life depends on it cause it DOES


I'm gonna fight through whatever they do to me, for you
I'm gonna fight through whatever they do to me, for me too
I'm gonna fight it with everything I got left, I'm gonna love with my last breath
I'm gonna love like the love it just transends death because it DOES
I'm gonna love to free you from all this shit
I commit, I commit, I commit, I commit
I'm gonna love like my life depends on it because it DOES

Here's me right before I was about to go on and perform "Be Peace" in front of a live audience for the first time.
http://www.amprosoft.com/Gallery/ice9/Apr14/ice9-apr14-11.jpg

Be Peace
green.earth.al

If we could be Peace
the quality of life would increase
Feed the belly of the beast
and his wars might cease

Be Peace! Like warm grass and bare feet
Be Peace! Like no iron bars and concrete
Be Peace! Like a nap beaneath the shade tree
Be Peace! Like ice-N-I-N-E

If we could be Peace
the women would be safe in the streets
and no bombs would drop from 30,000 feet
and all children would have plenty to eat
Be peace! Won't you build peace with me
you Be Peace and every day could be hugs, kittens and apple juice
Israel and Palestine could call a truce
and we could love the Muslims AND the Jews
And report it on the news that you no longer have to choose
among one or another of our borthers
I'm not a fighter of the fighters, I'm a lover of the lovers
There's plenty more to life to discover
and every good boy does deserve a loving mother

If we could be Peace
then maybe we could all hug the trees
and the birds and the bees could be top priorities

And we could all have participation
in the rectification
of our situations
no crazy corporations
could come and crap all on our nations
and every day would be like non stop vacations
and there'd be no more dead Hatians
and no more Bush Administrations

Cuz Yo!... Bush got an attitude
Drop im like he's Hot
Drop im like he's Hot
Drop im like he's Hot

Wreckin the environment
and claimin' that he's not
and claimin' that he's not
and claimin' that he's not

they used to call that lyin
up around my block
And yo! We don't need lies to live
we got love to give
we live lives of peace and that's Positive!

Be Peace!

=====================================

So that's the new hippie manefesto.
I totally screwed up and forgot lyrics that first time I performed it there right after the picture. But later in the evening I opened for Ralph Nader and Patti Smith and I got all of the words right and that rocked!

Here's links to the rest of the pictures from ice9's performance:

[GreenEarthAl]

Yes! That's fucking right! You heard correct. I got to open for Patti Smith and Ralph Nader on Thursday night. There were more than 350 people there! The biggest audience I've ever performed in front of!

I performed Ugly American and Be Peace and got all of the words right and people applauded like mad.

Here are pictures I took and pictures that the lovely young woman sitting next to me, Celia, took of me performing.

[Bob]

you ought to record it and post an mp3 or something next time, i really really want to hear it.

also, perhaps i missed it earlier in the thread, but where was all this going down? i know you live in buffalo, so i imagine it's around there, but if you ever come to connecticut, let me know. i don't work if i can avoid it, so i have a very minimal radius of travel, but if your travels take you to or near CT, i'd like to check it out, so give me a heads up.

[Knuckles]

that sounds like a good idea (y)

[GreenEarthAl]

On Thursday there was an afternoon performance in Niagara Falls, NY (near the Niagara Falls (Duh)) which is the next county north of here. Then the Ralph Nader and Patti Smith thing was in downtown Buffalo, about a 15 minute bike ride from my house.

I have been thinking about recording some vocals and maybe even producing a few songs around it. Maybe we can record some stuff at the Mass Ave Project Community Center's open mic next month.

Eventually, I'm sure I'll get some of it recorded. I still hate my voice, but I think I'm used to it by now. Other people like it, and I think they're weird for liking it, but nobody seems to think it's as bad as I think it is.

by god, do i ever understand that mentality. that's what keeps me from talking to people :(

and yet you seem to do it, and they seem to like it. keep at it! and if it's at all possible, record it. i'd like to hear it. if nothing else, it'll inspire me. i've freestyled once, you know.

Last night I performed at the Youth for Youth benefit. The young kids at Nichols High School threw a fund raiser for the Mass Ave Project and the Compass House emergency youth shelter, and I did a bunch of rapping and some break dancing while my friend Kirk did some beatboxing.

http://www.amprosoft.com/Gallery/misc/May13/018.jpg

Bout 150 people in the crowd. Lots of young kids. They really dig the rap music.
