Ain't No Devil But The Human
I was searching for some answers but questions were the hardest things to find I had Truth, the great de-programmer, by my side
Ain't no devil but the human
My Innocence wasn’t man made I learned a history I thought that I could trust Light shined, those old stories decayed and turned to dust
Ain't no devil but the
Ain't No Devil But The Human
I was searching for some answers but questions were the hardest things to find I had Truth, the great de-programmer, by my side
Ain't no devil but the human
My Innocence wasn’t man made I learned a history I thought that I could trust Light shined, those old stories decayed and turned to dust
Ain't no devil but the human Burned down creations with battles and rage and promises we break We are human
Karma
The more you learn, the more you know that what you reap is from what you sow The more you learn, the more you know that what you reap is from what you sow
Truth has strengthened my endurance Answers serve to straighten up my spine I believe that what comes between us are the devil’s lies
Ain't no devil but the human Ain't no devil but the human Ain't no devil but the human
The more you learn, the more you know that what you reap is from what you sow The more you learn, the more you know that what you reap is from what you sow

Description: This track is a personal triumph as it has been more than 12 years since I have actually completed lyrics to a song. To this I say bravo and I will be churning out more message-driven music that can be danced to in many cases. Yes, 7/8 is a danceable time signature!
What was I thinking with a song title like this? Pretty simply that it is "Us", "We" as human beings that are responsible for the not so positive and downright evil doings in the world. The Devil is in us. The light of love is too, but that's for another song.
There was a moment I really was "searching for some answers" as to what was the "real reason" the race and class issue has such a grip on us as a society. "Questions" had to come first of course, but it required shedding my brainwashed mindset. It is astonishing to understand how little I have known about the world. I 'was' where "they" wanted me to be!
That journey has blown my mind and I can never be the person I once was as a result. Learning truth is, in a way, subjective depending on from where you received the information and objective by way of digging down into the research knowing no one source will do. Truth is "the "great de-programmer".
I had never known the richness of my heritage in the way I do now, which has also peaked my interest in the history of humanity. I now feel like a speck of dust, which is actually enlightening. I respect the strength, courage and conviction toward life from those who came before me. This directs me away from my old fears, "strengthened my endurance", answers have served to effect how I walk in this world!
Let us see that it is lies used by the powerful and absolutely corrupt that keep us apart and from our greatest experiences in this short life. It is with this sentiment that I simply say "do good things" because "what you reap is from what you sow". Karma is real. Respect it!
