Sound Is God [Prod. by DJ Grumble]

from Episode II: S​.​M​.​O​.​K​.​E. by Billy Conahan

about

The opening monologue comes from Ravi Shankar describing his view on what music is, and how it can make you "feel crazy, or go mad." Then, into a monsterous track by DJ Grumble.

lyrics

Now this is Destiny, and ain't no bargaining
I'm in charge till a thousand men come marching in
Till the Sergeants come barging in to threaten my civility
These lyrics like a matchbook, sparks of creativity

In verses and soliloquies I often compare
The gunshot to a snare, the beats to a prayer
And I find that it's unfair, to dare to tell the truth
When the truth is so hard to bare.

I'm an educated fool, no wonder I hated school
Fuck a test, had a habit of testing the rules
I'm trying to change the world with the talents I've been given
Time will tell if heaven or hell that we are living

Cause God saved the Queen but forgot about the children
I wish'em well, the wishing well is filling
The feeling to see the people I love / not get they're fill in
The mission for wealth is vicious, it's often a contradiction

If anybody is listening, hope you haven't succumb
Hope you understand the message, I'm not speaking in tongues
And I refuse to pledge allegiance to a nation of guns
If the world is round, the west will never be won


With every breathe in my lungs, know that I meant every word
(I've got to) make this music and it's gotta be heard (2x)

It's like that ya'll, it's like that ya'll
And if you don't seek the truth, you'll never get the facts ya'll!
