I can still hear the steel drum, reverberating inside my soul
the MDMA still hasn't left my body

I'm still on the edge of reality
But I know the beat can be a powerful thing
and if that beat is connected to the truth
then it can unite a people
beats and culture
culture and beats
we may have lost our land
but its 500 years
and we are still drumming
We Are The Halluci Nation

That beat, That beat is the heartbeat of the universe
its the same beat as the one in your chest
let go, let go and just set yourself free
it begins with the tap of your feet
let this ancient beat take control
there is nothing to know
but everything to feel

It starts to the west,
this is for the birth of the sun
this is for the spark of all of life
this is where it all begins
the wonder and awe of it all

Then to the south,
for youth and the spirit of rebellion
take control and let go
creation is the destruction of all things
only the renewal of all things
life springs eternal

To the east,
this is for death
this is where all things end
this is holy and pure
death brings all things into being

And finally to the North,
for the Great Spirit,
for all the wisdom of all of humanity
the beat, the beat starts again

Beats and Culture
Culture and Beats
find that pure essence,
where all things begin
and dance to all of life,

these are lessons I learn again and again
keep the record of life on repeat
Great Spirit in The Sky, play dat beat back...
