lyrics

Flag So High

(Chorus)
Was not created for the grind
Was not created for the the 9 to 5
I am not a suited man, no queen upon my note
And a flag of indendendence I fly above my boat.
So, fly, fly, so high, so high
Fly, fly on mountain side

(Verse 1)
(Chorus)
Was not created for the grind
Was not created for the the 9 to 5
I am not a suited man, no queen upon my note
And a flag of independence I fly above my boat.
So, fly, fly, so high, so high
Fly, fly on mountain side

(Verse 1)
When the daytime's done, the night shift does begin
We string up speaker box and let the crowd come in
With the beat of drum, and let sirens wail
This deadly combination shall always prevail.
(Repeat chorus)

(Verse 2)
I fish for my supper, give my thanks every day
Open up with a joyful heart in every way
To the wisdom of our elders, those who walked before our time
Nurture the fruits of what we learn as we reach our prime
(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
We promote a clean mind,
A clean heart,
Sow the seeds in the minds of the youth
The expressions of love and truth

(Final Chorus)
Was not created for the grind
Was not created for the the 9 to 5
We are not all suited kind, who we choose upon our notes
And a flag of independence we fly above our boats
So fly, fly, so high, so high
Fly, fly on mountain side

I played in a band with the producer back in 2003 and we recorded several songs together. This album's rife with tongue in cheek humour subtly putting 2 fingers up at 'gangster rap'. Great production. The Uplifter
