lyrics
If you follow a light down a dark path,
The path can go anywhere,
Eventually leading to a dark end.
If you are the light, you are the path.
To all bright MFers out there in the world:
Keep shinning, man.
Respect to SAAFIR & BENNI B!
•
Panic & propaganda spreading at the Speed of Light;
If this be the Life,
At the speed of Light,
I beat a MIC.
But what’s a MIC when these MFers beat a Life
Delete a Life!?
What’s a Life, if you don’t see the Light?
Do me right,
Or we all die tonight!
End a Life,
Yours or mine,
Better choose it right.
How you livin’ when the livin’ ain’t even Life?
How you livin’ when the childred ain’t eatin’ right?
Speakin’ right,
Thinkin’ right,
Where the neophytes?
I guess we all die tonight?
That ain’t right.
Be The Light,
Or we lose our Life.
What it’s really gon’ take, to save a Life?
Save the world?
Scared of death, but what else you got?
Immortality —
Don’t know how to do it right.
It’s all over the walls,
All over the scrolls,
See the Light!
Walk to the Light,
Be the Light!
Universal Light,
GodBody Light,
The Only Light!
Body the MIC,
Body your mind,
‘Till you see The Light.
The Grandmaster is here,
Grand awakening Year,
Be The Light.
I Am the Light!
Body the MIC,
Body your mind,
‘Till you see The Light.
The Grandmaster is here,
Grand awakening Year,
Be The Light.
I Am the Light!
I’m here to remind you:
Remember to remember.
Here to remind you:
Return to Sender,
The Godbody is your body,
Tangible Light Body,
Light Being on a journey,
Moving at the Speed of Life.
Just one breathe at a time,
One step at a time;
A good pace for living Life!
You got what you need,
If you just remember to be.
Whatever you wanna be.
Whatever you wanna be,
B-Girl, B-Boy;
A moving body that’s free!
All that you need is to Say the Words,
And Let It Be.
A moving body that’s free!
All that you need is to Say the Words,
And Let It Be.

My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
