Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-whoa-oh

One tri-
One tri-
One tribe, one time, one planet, one race
It's all one blood, don't care about your face
The color of your eye
Or the tone of your skin
Don't care where you are, don't care where you been
'Cause where we gonna go
Is where we wanna be
The place where the little language is unity
And the continent is called Pangaea
And the main ideas are connected like a sphere
No propaganda, they tried to upper hand us
'Cause man I'm loving this peace
Man, man, I'm loving this peace
Man, man, I'm loving this peace
I don't need no leader
That's gonna force feed a
Concept that make me think I need to
Fear my brother and fear my sister
And shoot my neighbor
With my big missile
If I had an enemy (enemy)
If I had an enemy (enemy)
If I had an enemy then my enemy is gonna try to come and kill me
'Cause I'm his enemy there's one tribe y'all (woah-oh)

One tribe y'all (oh-oh)
One tribe y'all (woah-oh)
We are one people (oh-oh)
Let's catch amnesia, forget about all that evil (woah-oh)
Forget about all that evil, that evil that they feed ya (oh-oh)
Let's catch amnesia, forget about all that evil (woah-oh)
That evil that they feed ya (oh-oh)
Remember that we're one people (woah-oh)
We are one people (oh-oh)
One, one (one people)
One, one (one people)
One, one (one people)

One tribe, one tribe
One tribe, one time, one planet, one (hey)
Race, one love, one people, one (yeah)
Too many things that's causing one (to)
To forget about the main cause
Connecting, uniting
But the evil is seen and alive in us
So our weapons are colliding
And our peace is sinking like Poseidon
But, we know that the one (one)
The evil one is threatened by the sum (sum)
So he'll come and try and separate the sum
But he dumb, he didn't know we had a way to overcome
Rejuvenated by the beating of the drum
Come together by the cycle of the hum
Freedom when all become one (one)
Forever

One tribe y'all (woah-oh)
One tribe y'all (oh-oh)
One tribe y'all (woah-oh)
We are one people (oh-oh)
Let's catch amnesia (woah-oh)
Forget about all that evil (evil) (oh-oh)
Forget about all that evil (evil)
That evil that they feed ya
Let's catch amnesia (woah-oh)
Forget about all that evil (evil) (oh-oh)
That evil, that they feed ya (feed ya)
Remember that we're one people (woah-oh)
We are one people (oh-oh)
One, one (one people)
One, one (one people)
One, one (one people)

One love, one blood, one people
One heart, one beat, we equal
Connected like the internet
United that's how we do
Let's break walls, so we see through
Let love and peace lead you
We could overcome the complication cause we need to
Help each other, make these changes
Brother, sister, rearrange this
The way I'm thinking that we can change this bad condition
Wait, use you mind and not your greed
Let's connect and then proceed
This is something I believe
We are one, we're all just people

One tribe y'all (woah-oh)
One tribe y'all (oh-oh)
One tribe y'all (woah-oh)
We are one people (oh-oh)
Let's catch amnesia (woah-oh)
Forget about all that evil (oh-oh)
Forget about all that evil, that evil that they feed ya
Let's catch amnesia (woah-oh)
Let's catch amnesia, forget about all that evil (oh-oh)
That evil, that they feed ya (woah-oh)
Uh, uh, we're one tribe y'all (oh-oh)
We-we-we-we, one tribe y'all (woah-oh)
One, one (one people)
One, one (one people)
One, one (one people)
One pe-, one pe- (one people)
One pe-, one pe- (one people)
One pe-, one pe- (one people)

Let's, let's catch amnesia
Lord help me out
Trying to figure out what it's all about (what it's all about)
'Cause we're one in the same (one in the same)
Same joy, same pain
And I hope that you're there when I need ya
'Cause maybe we need amnesia
And I don't wanna sound like a preacher
But we need to be one

One world, one love, one passion
One tribe, one understanding
'Cause you and me can become one

There was no longer a physical (physical)
Record store
But we will continue, let the beat run

    I LOVE THIS SONG. It might be my favorite off this new album.

    The message of this song is pretty clear, I love how BEP's solution for this problem is "amnesia", they raise a good point when they say that.

    This song feels like it's from a similar vein as "Where Is The Love", maybe even taking it a step further.

    But I digress. GREAT SONG, I LOVE THE E.N.D., I LOVE B.E.P.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
