DIFFERENT STRINGS

(Verse 1)

The accent circonflexe, hey, will stay

Forever and ever on the hit name Ché

And even if I die today or rap goes away

Or come what may, Ché will remain Ché le Chuxx

Chucking up the bucks

And chucking out the records so everybody rocks

That’s the job I indulge in, my passion for it is undimmed

And so I bash and stash on the pressure

In such a manner you think it’s mana from heaven

But if I tried to box I’d never make it past seven

What I’m trying to say is that you’re you and I’m me – different stringers –

And life’s the melody we hit when we strike our separate keys

So cease watching me and make your own decrees

The real time that a man is wrong is when he’s evil

Not when he doesn’t belong to the gang, the stand, the normal order

He’s got his own stand, shallower or broader

It’s part of what life is all about

We come naked, unimpressioned, and then we sprout wings

Different, in pattern with our featheings

I got my own ideals and my own king

That’s what I sing, I care less if it stings

Different hearts beat on different strings

(CHORUS)

If I die oh would you help me on

Or would you hold me back and tell me that it’s here that I belong?

And if I cry oh, would you stand by me

Or would you walk away and leave me to my destiny?

(Verse 2)

Identicality is a lie

Similarity might be a nearer cry to the truth

But we’re too lazy, so we rebuff

But we’ve got to learn to develop the spirit of tolerance

Though at times that means bearing pain, OK, but no pain, no gain

See a life without pain may be a life in vain, huh, nothing gained, I maintain

I sustain the flame as I groove on

Life’s not static, so everybody’s gotta move on

It doesn’t matter if you’re leaving the world behind

Or if you’re crossing lines, don’t decline or recline

Just go for your own things, play on your own strings

Follow your heart til it brings you the ultimate dream that gleamed, beamed

And seemed like a dream for life because you deemed yourself low, unimportant

So, fool, you floated, discordant

Trying to beat me in what I do is stupid

SO stop. Go in and find the real you

And understand their laws are an illusion

We make our own lives, each man an institution

Cause different eyes see different things

Yeah, different hearts beat on different strings

(CHORUS)

If I die oh would you help me on

Or would you hold me back and tell me that it’s here that I belong?

And if I cry oh, would you stand by me

Or would you walk away and leave me to my destiny?

(BRIDGE)

I die when I sleep

I rise when I weep

I fly when I creep

And I stand when I leap... (....*jowling*...)

(Verse 3)

Beyond all dreams there’s the other possibility

More than just a possibility, infact a certainty

Standing stronger than the strongest mountain

It’s so clear to me, I find it strange that you’re doubting

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can see it in your eyes:

„How does a man live again when he dies?“

And oh yeah it’s there in your eyes

That you can’t conceive of a home beyond the skies

Now let me tell you the reason why

You’re seeking with your mind for a thing beyond time

But if you reach out with your spirit again

You’ll find you’re above shadowy dreams and on a higher plane

Now I can guess at your next question:

„What must I do to feel my spirit section?“

Well you are you, so you do what you feel

But for me, I take things simple, I take them chilled

I get, I give, I try to live my life with compassion

To always forgive those who touched me bad and made me sad

But that’s my own path, my own special fad

But for you – when they strike, you may want to fight

And that’s right if the spirit is alight

Cause the different birds sprout different wings

Huh, different hearts beat on different strings

Beat on different strings, beat on different strings, beat on different strings...

(....*jowling*...)

(CHORUS)

If I die oh would you help me on

Or would you hold me back and tell me that it’s here that I belong?

And if I cry oh, would you stand by me

Or would you walk away and leave me to my destiny?
