lyrics

Verse 1
This ain’t bout cars or the clothes
This ain’t bout silver or gold
It’s a groove with a sexy soul
So take shorty hand and move to the floor

But just keep one ear on the speaker
You and your fam, I’m trying to reach ya
Not reach you like trying to teach you
But like reaching out in a manner of speaking

Consider this an invitation
I couldn’t be more blatant
We’re all descendants of
The Lost Tribe of the Imagine Nation

Yes, I imagine nations
That are free from the war and the hatred
I let me music state it
Mindframe it and maintain the sacred

Chorus
Maintain the sacred
Maintain the sacred
Maintain the sacred
Maintain the sacred

Verse 2
Om Shanti Shanti Om
Check the timezone, ET phone home
This mantra not poem
Get into my zone, I’m both here and gone

That’s word to my moms
Ishtar on the mic, these not hands these claws
And I don’t spit just because
Hock it, cockpit then we taking off

Are you even here right now?
Put your name on sacred ground, stomp loud
Let these be the vows
I got us in mind when I write it all down

And I got half a mind to tear all this shit down
Rebuild, realign with my tribe, sing out
I won’t silence the war chant
or stifle the rain dance cuz all this joy is sacred


In the face of these haters, in the face of the demons, these accusers, these slanderers: we maintain our positive energy, we keep our heads high, we keep our smiles bright and we laugh in the face of that, that energy HA HA HA HA

In the face of haters: ha ha ha ha (HA HA HA HA)
In the face of haters we tell em: ha ha ha ha (HA HA HA HA)
In the face of haters: ha ha ha ha (HA HA HA HA)
In the face of haters we tell em: ha ha HA

Maintain the sacred
Maintain the sacred
Maintain the sacred
Maintain the sacred

Maintain the sacred
You joy is sacred
Your pain is sacred
Your rage is sacred
Your love is sacred
Your body’s sacred
Your sex is sacred
Maintain the sacred
