Dinner Party Songtext
von Nahko & Medicine for the People

Woke up this mornin′ refreshed from the evenin'
Dreamin′ 'bout all the homies I believe in
I had so much time to think
I got sisters who are mothers
And brothers who are fathers to me
I was a young man, old man,
Only a kid man
And I was dreamin' ′bout that promise land
But I was stuck in my dead end town
Just a petty thief
And I was waitin′ for the day of my release
I saw the flash in your eye just as you arrived
Girl, you're so damn mysterious and sly
Now, why am I not suprised?
Well if this is supposed to happen
Then I′ll just let it happen to me
Walkin on solid ground, I found the face of the moon
He was smilin' down on us singin′ his toothless tune
He says, "My light luminates one love."
So sing me to sleep


And let the stars have their way with me tonight
I was a young girl, strong girl
A women with girl
So you found me singin' ′bout my love for this world
Makin' big step towards redemption
A medicine wheel and a gateway into the ocean
Movin' and shakin′ ′bout
Got to clear my headlight
What're my intentions here?
Are you ready for a ground breakin′ way of bein'?
I′m talkin' off that grid
And empowering a conscious way of living
My homies keep me in line
Keep me from strayin off the wayside
I keep their pores tinglin′ and their tongues tied
And I'm learnin' how to cautiously rise
Against a disguise that legally refuses compromise
If I had things my way, I′d put some hope on your plate
I′m talkin' sauteed trust and an entree of faithful
Oh and irradicate all self pity
You got a lotta work to do so get busy homie
Go on get busy
Get BUSY!
