about

I wrote this for a friend who was feelin the black dog.

It comes from a spiritual reference and gives a practical instruction. Look up, is the message cos for some days the glass looks half empty, so although it may be heavy - LIFT.

lyrics

Won't You Lift your Lid? Get Up, Get Uppa x 2

Yeah lift up the lid, go'on take a good look
yeah the beats are laid and the funk is played
man the cuts are crazy go grab the hook
if ya feelin for a lift come 'n feel it
see the sun is hot see the people swayin'
as the crow flies so the Soup is layin'
get Soup get warmed re-awaken
yeah lift up the lid for the days breakin'
we got a soul-soup designed to quench up
the hunger, the gap to bring down the fence and the walls
let the de-vision be a re-vision embark a new misison
come catch a new vision
some say kitsch but I says break
some say stitch but we makes a remake
if ya down with the Knomaad program
I feel led o say, lift up the LID

Ch.
Won't You Lift your Lid? Get Up, Get Uppa x 2
Won't You Lift your Lid? Get Up, Get Uppa x 2

Catch a vision for the fonk
catch a vision for the jazz
catch a vision for your soul
chase the blues with the lid up, get up stand up
be up free up the heavyweight
gravitate the Spirit, put 'ol yesterday away
hey the past is past and the future's bfore me
the pearls comeforth from the life that paid the price
payment is made, check the balance sheet
coe and invade, the purpose the reason
the gift is given
the love is livin
my Spirit is willin'
my lid is lifted
we are the gifted, we are the legacy
he way s shifted from the self to the servin' see
we got the chance to expand possibilities
make shure to dance with the lid up get up GO

Go go go ahead go go go ahead

Ch.
Won't You Lift your Lid? Get Up, Get Uppa x 2
Won't You Lift your Lid? Get Up, Get Uppa x 2

Bridge.
Lift up the lid go on re-awaken
Lift up the lid go on re-awaken
Lift up the lid go on re-awaken
Lift up the lid for, for the break x 2
