Get Up

Get up
Get out of your head
Look out of your window
What do you choose instead?
If you’re passing the time
Drifting passively numb
Building your sublime
Maybe you should get up
Get out of your head
Choose your path
Choose your life instead

Let me wiggle it
Let me jiggle it
Wack it, smack it and crack it
Do I draft it?
Do I copy it?
Do I write it?
Yes I do.
Do you like me?
Do I care?
Let me show you
How I dance
And watch me
How I dare.
Can you hear me?
Do I see you?
Let me show you
You’re still there
How I feel you
How I like you
Let me prove
I’ll last your stare.

Let me shock you
Let me rock you
Let me laugh, giggle and scream
Let me strip
Let me dress
Let me cry
Let me impress
Want you to see
What I’m made of
Wanna be the new
Rock Goddess
Can I be your lady?
Aphrodite
With quality, leadership and success
Can I entertain you?
Don’t wanna change you
Want you to listen
Gotta be the best

Let me reap it
Let me sow it
Rap it, trap it and
Build my nest
Can I show you my freedom
Put me to the test
Maybe you’ll slam me
And ridicule me
Call me a crap lyricizest
But I’ll show you
What I’m made of
I’m better than all the best.

Love me
Or shove me
Just listen to me
And trust me
Will they slate me?
Will they rate me?
I’ll just have to see
How my energies fest

Contradict me
Inspire me
Free me
Epitomise me
Demise me
Despise me
Fate me and
Create me
Integrate me
I’ll support you
Not retort you
Got my own style
No crappy taste

Reciprocate
Interrogate
Interpretate
The ideal mate.

Let me join you
Let you heal you
I’ll see your karmic state
I’ll find you
I’ll clarify you
I’ll draw your current rate
Let me act, refract
Watch you react
Don’t photograph me
For my soul’s sake.

Wanna interest you
Want to capture you
The essence of a time
The space
The place
The world
The face
The crime
The war
The peace
That fine
The debt
The home
The dream
The time
Remember Band Aid
Fair Trade
Round the world
I’m not gonna fade.

PALICE 12.10.04

(I remember writing this in the back of the car, took me no longer than about 5 minutes, with my brother sitting next to me and I read it allowed: ‘Palice, did you just write that now?’ ‘Yes Will, just now, staring out of the window. Why not, just passing the time’.
The timing of the words interests me the most and what other artists were writing at the same time: what I like to call ~ The Orchestra of Life).
