Student Rap Texts
From the workshop with Ambroise Gaglo
(July 2, 2003)
New views, new faces, new words, new places;
I need to get away, change the climate and the races.
Everywhere is loneliness, poverty, hate
I wanna change the system, take control - or too late
Power to us, why can't you see
Just follow me, and we'll all be free.
Nothing is impossible,
everything achievable-
INCREDIBLE
New words, new faces
new words, new places:
need to get away
change the climate
and the races.
Let's go away,
fly with me
now and every day.
Nothing is impossible,
everything achievable-
INCREDIBLE
Here we are
in our place,
no problems
like time or pace,
it´s our special space
Different countries, people and habits,
different cultures, tongues and merits.
Let's teach our kids to be xxl, open and free
cosmopolitans is what they gotta be...
New views, new faces,
new words, new places;
I need to get away,
change the climate and the races.
But everywhere I go, yo,
I see greed, hate, frustration -
and it really sucks, yo...
it's worth some contemplation.
I wish I could make things change,
help people widen their range
Why do children have to die?
Why do mothers have to cry?
There's no need for all this greed -
there's enough food for all to feed
Why don't we see the light and spread the seed?!
New views, new faces, new words, new places;
Change the climate and the races.
We need to get away alohalohahey
We have no clue where to go,
that's the question on this show.
Malta, Malta - we love Malta,
These are the things we would alter...
Hawaii away so far, we say Aloha!
In dry Spain, we would miss the rain
Australia is nice and warm,
but the people are too calm.
and we also don't like Rome -
That's why we stay at home!
