Rap Music is my Art Form

Born-and-raised Aurovilian, I created a rap group called The Lyrical Trinity (TLT), the concept being three rap alter egos in one man. The first and primary rapper is The Druid, followed by Young God and the Nomad, each representing Mind, Body and Soul respectively, while all being part of a whole - hence a trinity. This particular piece is written from Nomad’s perspective. While obviously pertaining to family, this song is really about finding strength in our roots, however far away the apple rolled from the tree, so to speak, because no matter how bad or good things get, we can never forget those whose love is unconditional! Who loves unconditionally? The people you call family! Auroville is my family: it’s my roots and without them, I don’t know where I’d be.

Where would you be without those who you care for, and that care for you?

My Family

By Nomad

TLT

(Me and My...)

Where would I be without family

Those I care for that care for me

I see my nephew and all he could be

How could I lose sight in this life they offer protection

My family like Smith and Wesson are my only weapon

Blood and bond bind us strong

I know that’s where I belong but for a while I know that I had it wrong

I lost sight of them by my side

When I needed them most they were still down to ride!

My dad he’s the man! My brother’s his right hand

My mother she’s the heart, her and my sis keep us from falling apart

We got a new member in November to join our crew

A precious little boy was born, my nephew

Where would I be without my family

Those that I care for that care for me

Me and my, me and my, me and my family

Me and my, me and my, me and my blood

Me and my, me and my, me and my family

Me and my, me and my, me and my kin

For all them I’d do anything!

Me and my, me and my, me and my family

Me and my, me and my, me and my blood

Me and my, me and my, me and my family

But I lost my way like the black sheep

I’d be out all night, while my dad lose sleep, just cos I had love for the street

And I can’t blame em, for anything

They gave me everything and every chance to win

Yet I’m confused, still living by sin, I choose to lose! Every time and time again

Maybe I’m corrupt the cancer cause

Collecting and projecting the family flaws

Rack my brain why I’m the stain on my strong family name,

I think I got the wrong family name

They gave me nothing but love, yet I was too busy, blind being a thug!

Getting mixed up with pigs in the mud

Till it was too late! I was in too deep

Me and my, me and my, me and my family but I lost my way like the black sheep

Me and my, me and my, me and my family

Me and my, me and my, me and my blood

Me and my, me and my, me and my family

Me and my, me and my, me and my kin...
