about

Building- This is a song about people coming together in a revolutionary consciousness to build a new world. In the beginning of the song, I call the name of my ancestors. The idea behind this is because I believe the ancestors planted the seeds of revolution in us hoping we would raise them into a powerful tree of liberation by coming together and working as one.

lyrics

Building
(By Masauko)

I've been waiting all my life for
the cipher
disciples singing
songs of revolution
the circle
the drums keep ringing
louder for the spirit
awake now
it's love we're bringing
in the form of freedom
come down now
the devil is bleeding

We grow from seed to tree
Me and my people building
(Chorus)

I've been waiting for the one day
not someday
But today we need
something strong to build on
a foundation
a nation of gods (Gods)
giving more than taking
backs breaking
O my people come on
share the love you're saving
stop hazing
life could be amazing
(Chorus)
