Speak Life Lyrics

I pray thee, I pray thee
Once again
I wonder to be surrounded by ones with such talent...ya know

Speak life
Live a humble and meek life
Ordinary day of the week life
Try to search and seek life

Way up
Keep your head up and stay up
Even when you sore and pain love
Never given up til its game up
Keep your aim up

And focus
Don't concentrate to what's bogus
Never set law far upon us
Handle your biz like grown ups, Own up

It's amazing
The way Jah fire keeps blazing
That's why I constantly praise him
For some of them it's a phase
So they're gazing

On the street lights
Dem they catch up in street fights
Cause unpretending they street wise
And put to end to a brief life
I feel Like...

It's a mystery
How we can keep repeating our history
Making the same mistakes as our ancestry
Seem like all of life lessons missed with
It's risky

So give praises
One day you may find your oasis
Rise up to the challenge you're faced with
Be a pool and creative
You'll make it

Its basics (Wo-Oooah)
People been though in it for ages (Wo-Oooah)
Many other cultures and places (Wo-Oooah)
On the regular basis (Wo-Oooah)
They're so many cases

Lets face it (mann)
Way too much time has been wasted (mann)
Building military bases
Fighting our war with no basis

Life is sacred (Wo-Oooah)
*And every baby born naked (Wo-Oooah)
*Some of em nah like guatala ris big (Wo-Oooah)
And don't care what they making (Wo-Oooah-oh)
They can't take it

So speak life (mann)
All dis darkness don't feel right (mann)

Are the notes in the following Russian song real, or are they due to electronic adaption, the tones are incredible high.

After listening only once I'm inclined to say it's a mixture of both. Most of those high notes are really sung (either live on the spot or in play-back) but the utmost high seem to be got taken over by some instrument (probably electric guitar) and then further enhanced via computer or synthesizer.

The voice type used is called falsetto.

A prime example would be Ivan Rebroff who sported four and a halve octave in range, allegedly.

I think the soprano range technically ends at C6. Well, he hits a note at the highest fret on my electric guitar which is a C# and then zooms up another step with way too much power and "cut/edge" to be real. There are octave devices that mimic the sound played and boost it up the scale an octave (or TWO). He has to be using something like that. Some are foot-switchable and work in real-time. His tone up in that range is definitely unnatural and synthesized.

Thank you BHelmet for providing this extra information. :cool:

I was aware of synthesizers but didn't know anything about how octave devices are used for this specific up-scaling and amplifying of these very high notes.

Nice to have learned about them now... ;)
 
I know I know ... art is double side sword ... but it makes life beautiful .. playfulness and kindness are part of that game play ... maybe the whole masking and carnival ideas are the way to help us to express our inner world and to be able to see it from distance ... sort of a platform for visualization of self - remembering process ... objective art is not easy to create, as you have to let your self go and at the same time to keep the line up of ideas "consistent" ... yes it is easy to say today what is belonging to objective art, but there is no rules on how to create one, and we are in the same need as every other time, to create again this piece of imagination that will be able to trigger and activate synchronicity in those who are messengers of gods on earth like Tesla ( _http://www.tfcbooks.com/tesla/1897-01-27.htm) and Gurdjieff (_https://www.gurdjieff.org/challenger2.htm) ... , and who have hidden codes to resemble certain knowledge that will help humans to advance in their esoteric and spiritual connectedness in the cosmic senses ...


"It's A Hard Life"

I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart.

This is a tricky situation -
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone -

You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart.

It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts -
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love -

I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone -

How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
Waiting for love.

Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When you're in love -
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in every way -

It's a long hard fight -
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love.
 

What are words worth?
What are words worth? Words
Words in papers, words in books
Words on TV, words for crooks
Words of comfort, words of peace
Words to make the fighting cease
Words to tell you what to do
Words are working hard for you
Eat your words but don't go hungry
Words have always nearly hung me
What are words worth?
What are words worth? Words
Words of nuance, words of skill
And words of romance are a thrill
Words are stupid, words are fun
Words can put you on the run
mots pressés, mots sensés,
mots qui disent la vérité, mots maudits, mots mentis,
mots qui manquent le fruit d'esprit
What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words
It's a rap race, with a fast pace
Concrete words, abstract words
Crazy words and lying words
Hazy words and dying words
Words of faith and tell me straight
Rare words and swear words
Good words and bad words
What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words
Words can make you pay and pay
Four-letter words I cannot say
Panty, toilet, dirty devil
Words are trouble, words are subtle
Words of anger, words of hate
Words over here, words out there
In the air and everywhere
Words of wisdom, words of strife
Words that write the book I like
Words won't find no right solution
To the planet earth's pollution
Say the right word, make a million
Words are like a certain person
Who can't say what they mean
Don't mean what they say
With a rap rap here and a rap rap there
Here a rap, there a rap
Everywhere a rap rap
Rap it up for the common good
Let us enlist the neighbourhood
It's okay, I've overstood
This is a wordy rappinghood, okay, bye.
What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words
What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words
He'll stop... Don't stop... Stop. ....
