Matiyashu - Like A Warrior (Dusta. Remix)

The first thing I think of when I think of a transformation is a caterpillar changing to a butterfly. And then I think of the Transformers.

No really though, all a transformation is really just a change. Right? So if a Caterpillar can wrap itself up and then emerge as a butterfly, if it can grow into something beautiful why cant we? 

Why can't, as human beings, both individually and as a race, transform ourselves?

We're caterpillars. Right now we are caterpillars. No one really likes us. We don't like us. I certainly don't like us and i'm sure you don't either. Quite frankly we're kind of gross. We don't make the world a better place, honestly we might just make it worse. If aliens exist it's no wonder they haven't made contact. We're a terrible shameful race, all we're good at is hurting one another, causing pain, and war, and genocide.

We are caterpillars.

But why? Why can't we be Butterflies? We can't we all be the Bob Marley's and John Lennon's of the world? They imagined a better place. Where people got along.

They wanted the world to be happy, and good. They were butterflies. They wen't through transformations at some points in their lives that enabled them to be people who strove for peace.

So why can't we be butterflies, and transform our lives? We should stop being the disgusting race that we are and transform, we should transform both individually and as a whole and become butterflies.

Sometimes I lay Under the moon And thank God I'm breathing Then I pray Don't take me soon Cause I'm here for a reason Sometimes in my tears I drown But I never let it get me down So when negativity surrounds I know some day it'll all turn around Because All my life I've been waiting for I've been praying for For the people to say That we don't wanna fight no more They'll be no more wars And our children will play It's not about

One day (x6)

Win or lose Because we all lose When they feed on the souls of the innocent Blood drenched pavement Keep on moving, though the waters stay raging In this maze you can lose your way (your way) It might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you no way (no way) Sometimes in my tears I drown (I drown) But I never let it get me down (get me down) So my negativity surrounds (surrounds) I know some day it'll all turn around Because All my life I've been waiting for I've been praying for For the people to say That we don't wanna fight no more They'll be no more war And our children will play

One day (x6)

One day this all will change Treat people the same Stop with the violence Down with the hate One day we'll all be free And proud to be Under the same sun Singing songs of freedom like

One day(x6)

All my life I've been waiting for I've been praying for For the people to say That we don't wanna fight no more They'll be no more wars And our children will play

One day (x6)

The lyrics are from 'One day' by Matiyashu.

All I can think about when I hear those words is how important it is to live the most positive lifestyle that I can.
