Put Your Mind on Hold Songtext
von Bluezeum

Put your mind on hold and let yourself unfold
An underground vibe and I′m digging the gold
Put your mind on hold and let yourself unfold
An underground vibe and I'm digging the gold
Put your mind on hold and let yourself unfold
An underground vibe and I′m digging the gold
I'm digging the gold, I'm digging the gold, I′m digging


Last night the crescent moon rode shotgun with Venus
Puffs of clouds in a slow motion drift
Aroma of jasmines and hickory and evening barbecue
Through the sensations of life I sift
My sadness, my fears, my joy, pain, gladness, it′s all a gift
Life is one big tale and we're all God′s tongues
A gallery of stories hung so common and vast
Unlikely harmonies in perfect contrast
And it all comes down to stories
But are we the weavers or are we the weaved?
Players in a scene unseen, the conceivers or the conceived?
Hmm, lately I dream of tiny feet and toes
Of crayon scratches on clean walls
Of braiding hair, snapping barrettes and cornrows
Rolling in the grass, afternoon strolls in the park, climbing trees
Bicycle lessons and skinned knees
Like a journey, I passed a thousand houses that I see
Life be changing baby, life be changing
And the hardest thing is trusting
Just let things be, just let things be, just let things
Liberate your love and let your joy run free
When I try to cuff her that's when I start to suffer
It′s like amnesty, it's like amnesty, it′s like amnesty
Amnesty baby, and let your joy run free
And let your joy run free

Put your mind on hold and let yourself unfold
An underground vibe and I'm digging the gold
Put your mind on hold and let your life unfold
An underground vibe and I'm digging the gold
Cause I be digging the gold, cause I be digging the gold
Cause I be digging the gold, cause I′m digging the gold
Cause I′m digging the gold, cause I'm digging the gold, heh

Welcome to W-E-B-E, better known as we be
Where life, like music, is always ill
Oh yeah, oh yeah, L.A
L.A. was the place back then, L.A. was the place
Late 1930′s, 1940's, Central Avenue
Central Avenue was the lick
Everybody came there because everybody played there, see
Man you had Mingus up there, you had Ellington up there
You had Hampton was up there, everybody, that′s right
Had a place up there called the Dunbar, Dunbar Hotel
That was the place to be, yeah, that was the place


Come on, relationships, I mean, think about it
It's right there in the word, relationships, you get it?
I mean you start out on the Love Boat
And you end up on the Titanic for God′s sakes
Or the SS Minnow
But at least there you got Ginger and Mary Ann, you know what I mean
But, but come on, you start out as best friends
And bam, she's your enemy, he's your enemy
Relationships, what are they good for?
We′ll be right back after this
You′re listening to K-E-G-R, all me all the time
You give me 22 minutes, I'll give you me

As I continued on my midnight ride
I heard a spirit in silent glide
Whistling directions into my ear
Then glanced a smile and disappeared, bye bye
You want to head over there to 43rd and Bignor right off Crenshaw
That′s the place to be (man that's Leimert Park)
Yeah, over in Leimert Park where the fountain flows and oasis grows
Poetry′s metaphors bloom and jazz notes grab onto blue notes
And ride Santana breezes, checkmate and cappuccinos
And the word became flesh and chilled among Los Angelenos
There's a peaceful rage at the world stage
Hear some shouts and field hollers going out to all the healers
Watts Prophets, El River, Kamau Daoud, D. Nada, Nasif
Suji McDonald, Bujali, Frontline Poets, Sonia Murillo, Dadesic
Nyesha, V. Cali, Ojeke, Derrick Ricks
Wendy James, poetry, John Baquir
Pam Ward, Nakia, Ruth Foreman, Sequoia
Michael Datcher, Marylene Murphy
Paul Calderon
Gil Scott-Heron
Nikki Giovanni
Sonia Sanchez
Palace Wine, The Cult
Rita Dove
Here′s a good vibe for The Last Poets
And the entire flow nation
Yeah
