Tumi and the Volume - Signs

Travel light
The bags of life need handles tight gripped
Cause man knows it’s vital
Bright candle light in manholes
Like you got closed mind
Yes you are confined
Freedom’s natural as time moving, riot shooting
Now its kaffirs and boers aside
Doing Pantsula Jive
That’s two thousand five
Sing hallelujah survive
Better to just shoot up and die
See that the truest of signs
Lead back to you as divine
You decide, who defines
Human pursuit through what eyes

When nothings perfect rise
Above the surface trials
Are there for purpose, signs

What you interpret defines
What you on earth for rely
On human effort and signs

When it all goes downhill
And you sitting inside with a flat wheel
Turn the window up better be alert
Get a gear-lock and a tow truck with a bit of luck
I told you
It’s a game of casino poker
When the lottery roll over
Close but no Philly blunt, no videos
No silly hoes, no millions
But so what
You are bigger than a photo-op
With a foremost pop star
Know your chakra
How to grow to adult
From a stone that was sown
In the soil to a thrown like Shaka
I got soul but I am no Sinatra
Rhythm hit me hard like Malombo drums
Keep faith in God if you go through drama
Lift fist up if you know the signs

When nothings perfect rise
Above the surface trials
Are there for purpose, signs
What you interpret defines
What you on earth for rely
On human effort and signs

When nothings perfect rise
Above the surface trials
Are there for purpose, signs

What you interpret defines
What you on earth for rely
On human effort and signs

In a world with a dark and a bleak past
Who can up and tangle with these stats
Few if not trample each lap
Like an animal jungle free perhaps
It’s the way of the dreamer path, or
It’s the latest VISA passport
Break down when you need to fast forward
Stay south when the beast is up north
Kick rhymes and they say that I am a poet
Its life and its played just like a sport
But it’s not the sought
With Nikes on walk soft them souls just might be wore out
Torn and that resolves nothing
Sure as mountains raw shouting
Molten rock on floors
My eyes saw the signs are raw
That resolves nothing
Sure as mountains raw shouting
Molten rock on floors
My eyes saw the signs are raw

When nothings perfect rise
Above the surface trials
Are there for purpose, signs

What you interpret defines
What you on earth for rely
On human effort and signs

When nothings perfect rise
Above the surface trials
Are there for purpose, signs

What you interpret defines
What you on earth for rely
On human effort and signs
