Ozomatli - Embrace the Chaos lyrics

(feat. Common)

[sample of peace rally being broken up]

[Common]

Embrace the chaos

C'mon and embrace the chaos

We like to, embrace the chaos, yeah

[singing]

Yeah

Am I a patriot of the chaos?

Everyday I watch young studs play blocks

In front of buildings, dealing what they gotta

Currency and game exchange (What else?)

Souls bought and talked with the Father of Time

Ask if I'm embracing it

I either wasting it

My mind feel like I'm chasing it

Everyday it gets harder to author a plan

Consult with the gods cuz I know they smarter than man

It's hypnotic how the chaotic harbor the land

Through raw metals, slick women, cars and sedans

Guess we all part of the dance in one way or another

The way a man beat his woman, feeling that he love her

They way five children get killed by their mother

Parts of the universe still to discover

The real uncover fake

Whether love or hate

For revolution, chaos we embrace

[singing]

[Common]

It's like I wrote for freedom

My god sticks in

"You gon' have to tote for freedom"

I awoke in the p.m.

To let my folks know it's gonna

Be a brighter, there's light that shines on the corner

In the dawn of the chaos, I try not to be

A pawn or a player

So nights I stay up

Write words, for me it's like a prayer

Knowing it'll be, I put it in the air

And stare at the emotions of those in the commotion

Hoping its the chaos that we grow from

Opened a cold one, build with warriors that hold gun

For the same prize, our souls run

From they window, they see no sun

I say "Revolution, when he gon' come?"

Yes he came, in way that may seem strange

Only through chaos will we ever see strange

[trumpet solo]

[singing]
