letra de i smoked a spliff - lebo mashile

[verse 1]
i smoked a spliff with jesus christ last night
i smoked a spliff with jesus christ last night
then leaned over and stuck my eyes inside his soul
the father let me take a journey through his pain
and beside the tears of judas i saw my own
“j” said: he and man built a nation in my mind
where god and gods ruled for an eternity
the universe guided as through the in-betweens
to find that people needed more than just militancy
i could provide nothing more than everything
the earth gave birth to me the flesh of natural truth
and in the hope of feeling light within themselves
i bleed my love for their fears as proof
by the time i died i was an ordinary man
they made me god so they wouldn’t have to do the same
i lost the pulse of humanity in this religion
but sometimes i feel it though in solitudes of pain

[refrain]
but he was jesus and i’m a sister
so i’ve been through more sh-t
’cause i’m black, and life in hard in jozi when you’ve got tits
so j.c. sparked another cone
as i told him about this brother
with the rainbow colours in his dome
[verse 2]
my life was prayer to his rhythms inside him inside me
creation was a haven in his chest
he was me as a spirit, lover, sister, mother
friend in arms like no other
i was born to be the summer in his fingertips
he in my belly made the moonrise where my midnight sits
and as he ravaged his way through my mind
i entertained plastic hopes to find a future in our path
but it burned at both ends
it’s over now and as i sift through lies
i know i can depend on no love
for none can replace my own
and when the tears stopped falling jesus took me home
and then he stepped into the fury of my soul
j said: love is infinite gratitude for the power of the self
seek the answers in your own voice before you look to anyone else
nurse the child who weeps in the valley of your suffering
cleanse her face with ebony rains
and make way for what the future brings
teach her to make love not find love
to be love not seek love
to grow love and know love
that she might give love and receive love in due time
but don’t make martyrs from the flaws of mortal kinds
before you let another burn you think twice
remember no one is worth your paradise
[outro]
so maybe he was right
and maybe i’m all alone
maybe we’re both f-cked up
we were both definitely stoned
it’s just a story about what happened last night
and how two spirits got real open when the herb was tight
