saw the black eyed peas last night
JUST FANTASTIC
amazing performers
totally fun

jackie and i wearing ear plugs
as r teenagers bounced next to us
hands in the air
we all grow up

u must nourish ur soul
with the salve that soothes
broadway books babies
ingest it

tomorrow and tuesday i tap
with a tony winner
and some bright eyed 20 somethings
reminding y i first tried

some spend their lives trying to cure disease
others run into burning buildings to save others
some of us entertain
it is what we do

make people laugh
smile
feel good
inspire

(the b-e-ps sing)

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
