Awesome... as always...[Brer Rabbit]2012. That's damn good visionHe spat, his gums calloused by neglectGrinned and crisped into a red deliciousIts skin zesty, the air was sweetnessHis skin was stretched and ancientCracked and seemed like a patch of pavementMuch too often and just as dark in pigmentHe was my grandfatherThe dwindling town knew him as MosesHis dwindling comrades call him MoeI don't know if it was his ageOr the way he caused folks to move awayThe air was damp but not suffocatingThe stoop was ramshackle and yet sturdyTreacherous, like the conversationBut still able to bear gravity's ambushHe was silent as he let the four numbersRicochet against permutationsOf broken dreams and personal triumphsHe spat out half of an apple seed"Look at us, we're one foot removedFrom working this very land without choiceOne foot removed from the Promised LandAnd did you know that Moses never made it to Canaan?"His question was piercing, his eyes were bloodshotRecalling more life than I could fathomI tried not recoil under his vulnerabilityAnd gave my response as I bit into the apple"The Hebrews themselves did not enter the Promised LandUntil long after they arrivedThey had to fight, and wander and waitBefore they were able to open their eyesWe are still fighting and wandering and waitingWe have fled enslavement and parted watersWe have seen the horizons promisedBut we have not yet fully arrivedGod had told Moses that it was his destinyBut Moses never believed that promiseBut if we apply better the perfect visionWe will find the Promised Land among us"I spat out an uncracked apple seedIt landed in the soil beside the broken oneMy Grandfather smiled at me and said"If we keep this up we'll have a whole damn orchard"If prophecies are self-fulfillingInterpreting scriptures predicts the futureAnd sharing better the perfect visionIs building up a new world

if you cant understand something like this then why leave a post, why listen to a band that you don't like, why try to make a point in a pointless argument, or even better why try to put people down when they found something they like.

Im glad i'm not the only one that let's the music open his eye's. The message is there, just hard to find. Unless you want to see and hear the difference

yo i don't think you're really the best person to inform others of their state of idiocy since you sound kind of, you know, crazy

Wow. That so cool. I think anyone who heard this song would get chills. I don't know what else to say so I guess I'll just replay the song.

I got chills, and the rhyme pattern in this song isn't the greatest. only the flobots could do this to me. this is brer rabbit of the flobots, and it's 2012. literally, it's 2012.

That's their message, no-ones imposing anything on anyone, I reckon they're trying to enlighten people to think more than telling us to, because you cant force people to have free thoughts

Just because I don't like the same song as you doesn't mean you need to be a dick. Get a better personality.

Stop it. What does Flobots teach us? Not to fight, or create hate.
