The Procussions-Simple song



I first heard the procussions through my brother, he's probably heard and listened to every song a thousand times from this genre. I guess its the era he came from, when he was growing up was when all of this music was big. Its still around and artists come out in this genre all the time, but they get no exposure because the general public doesn't listen to this type of stuff anymore. Its a shame too because that's one of the reasons this group is no longer around. Money reasons, illegal downloading, and lack of exposure forced them to disband about three years ago. Some of them went on to write music alone (one of them gets critic ratings of 4.5/5 stars on his work even today, which says something about his talents) and another is pursuing his artwork and focusing more on that.

The music is less beats and has more jazz influences, and the words have a lot more meaning behind them than something that's just catchy. I miss music like this sometimes. I never really listened to it when i was younger and now that its not popular i wish it were. Guys like atmosphere have kind of broken through that and made it, but people who like atmosphere don't go out and find all these other artists like the people under the stairs and the procussions, and they should.



On the audio canvas stands this man with his hands like a mantis
submerged in the word like Atlantis to plant this seed, 
we feeding of the roots of David
and finally freed from enslavement 

see this is where the pavement meets the path
the power principles of purity are unmasked
at last our direction is that of the outcast
outlasting temptation like the thirty day fast

redeemed from the past renamed in the present
i sing to the king who came as a peasant 
he's offering that pleasant state of humility
the light of the world with the strength and the ability

 to transform norm to extraordinary
making prophets out of prosecutors, if necessary
and rags to revolution, poetry from pollution
felon to family man, problem to solution

and the solution is clear the revolution is near
no more confusing people with fear
the constitution appears to make freedom a right
but you know its only found in the sunlight

i say you know its only found in the son right?
i got one love, one aim, and one fight
c'mon...

at a loss for words i heard something in my mind sing (la la la la la)
without a care in the world i stand firm on a cloud singing (la la la la la)
waking up at the dawn, i had a song in my heart it goes (la la la la la)
i found peace in a vision of love and yo it sounds like (la la la la la)
