All this movement needed was am Anthem, Mosh is it

[Melodybe]

thank you Eminem

Listen to the lyrics, watch the video, send it to your friends

I knew that someone great was going to give us an anthem, Eminem had potential but I wasn't expecting this.

I am still awe struck.

On a lighter note, the people that make black hoddies are about to get super rich.

Here are the rhymes:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
And to the Republic for which it stands
One nation under God


Scrutinize every word, memorize every line
I spit it once, refuel, reenergize, and rewind
I give sight to the blind, mind sight through the mind
I ostracize my right to express when I feel it's time
It's just all in your mind, what you interpret it as
I say to fight you take it as I’m gonna whip someone's ass
If you don't understand don't even bother to ask
A father who has grown up with a fatherless past
Who has blown up now to rap phenomenon that has
Or at least shows no difficulty multi task
And juggling both, perhaps mastered his craft slash
Entrepreneur who has held long too few more rap acts
Who has had a few obstacles thrown his way through the last half
Of his career typical manure moving past that
Mister kiss his ass crack, he's a class act
Rubber band man, yea he just snaps back

Come along, follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark, that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength,
Come with me, and I won't stear you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
Till the light, at the end, of the tunnel, we gonna fight,
We gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march through the swamp
We gonna mosh through the marsh, take us right through the doors

To the people up top, on the side and the middle,
Come together, let's all bomb and swamp just a little
Just let it gradually build, from the front to the back
All you can see is a sea of people, some white and some black
Don't matter what color, all that matters is we gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause, no matter the weather
If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better
They ain't gonna stop us, they can't, we're stronger now more then ever, They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go,
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push up, mush, fuck Bush, until they bring our troops home come on just . . .

Come along, follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark, that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength,
Come with me, and I won't stear you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
Till the light, at the end, of the tunnel, we gonna fight,
We gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march through the swamp
We gonna mosh through the marsh, take us right through the doors, come on

Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us,
Mosh pits outside the oval office
Someone's trying to tell us something, maybe this is God just saying
we're responsible for this monster, this coward, that we have empowered This is Bin Laden, look at his head nodding,
How could we allow something like this, Without pumping our fist
Now this is our, final hour
Let me be the voice, and your strength, and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme, just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify the times it, and multiply it by six
Teen million people are equal of this high pitch
Maybe we can reach Al Quaida through my speech
Let the President answer on high anarchy
Strap him with AK-47, let him go
Fight his own war, let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our soil
No more psychological warfare to trick us to think that we ain't loyal
If we don't serve our own country we're patronizing a hero
Look in his eyes, it's all lies, the stars and stripes
They've been swiped, washed out and wiped,
And Replaced with his own face, mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight you'll know why, because I told you to fight

So come along, follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark, that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength,
Come with me, and I won't stear you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
Till the light, at the end, of the tunnel, we gonna fight,
We gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march through the swamp
We gonna mosh through the marsh, take us right through the doors


And as we proceed, to mosh through this desert storm, in these closing statements, if they should argue, let us beg to differ, as we set aside our differences, and assemble our own army, to disarm this weapon of mass destruction that we call our president, for the present, and mosh for the future of our next generation,
to speak and be heard, Mr. President, Mr. Senator

2. Yah. Well. Like all rap...

It ain't something you can whistle on a long march.

Anthem, my ass.

You need actual music for anthems.

[StrongbadTehAwesome]

3. I don't know...as something that doesn't need actual music,

it could be pretty effective when yelled en masse by protestors. Sort of a song-length version of "Hey, hey, LBJ..."

[Melodybe]

4. Just read the words they rhyme, rhythm is music

at least to me, sorry you don't like rap.

[aquart]

12. Rhythm is the beat. It's a component of music.

It's tragic that you believe that's all there is.

[saracat]

7. I agree.

And even the English is used poorly! But his intentions are good.

[Journeyman]

5. From this old man, with checkered attachment to rap. . .

and hip hop (uncertain what it's called), left cold by most but not all, bemused not impressed by repetitive arm spray, and usually confused by lyrics that seem more emotional than intellectual -- there was a tear or three wiped at the end, and pride there's still attachment to the truths of our lives.

What ever inspires helps hold us to the Higher Laws. I gather strength and resolve from Mr. Jefferson. I believe others shall find their will through Eminem. And we shall all find peace.

[aquart]

13. I cried, too.

There is no question that Mosh is effective.

It just ain't an anthem. As for the rhymes, good luck to you as you march along and try to rely on the rhymes in Mosh to help you remember the lyrics. He sporadically uses end-rhymes and the others are within the body of the lines.

[Journeyman]

14. Agreed, aquart. I won't be humming Mosch in the shower. . .

or whistling it, or absently singing along (for the life of me, I can't see how anyone can do much more than plug along to most of this music), but it's a powerful piece. For me, probably more so visually than musically, but powerful indeed.

[LiberalVoice]

6. Holy fuckin shit.

Thats all I can say...

That was awesome.

[The Minus World]

8. Wow

I just watched the video, and I got to thinking - do people fully understand the implications of this? The paradigm has shifted.

Remember a couple of years ago, how afraid public figures were of indulging in a healthy criticism of their government's behaviour; how only a handful of artists had the courage to stand against the administration - only to be met with jeers from right-wingers and the corporate establishment?

And now, pre-election 2004, not only is such criticism acceptable, but it's as *mainstream* as you can get.

Honestly, with the near-sightedness and self-absorption that the right-wing exudes, I doubt they could have planned for the dramatic shift in American consciousness over the past four years. No amount of faith-based pseudo-reportage can counter the unified voice of citizens who live in the "reality-based" world.

[Melodybe]

10. Nice posts guys, very thoughtful

I am so proud of Eminem, he is brilliant and he wrote that song for us

To give us that spark and keep us going

Eminem was already going into history, now he has cemented his place for possibly even the next hundred years.

This is the beginning of a new world, and Eminem just put his stamp on the moment.

I am so proud of him.

[LiberalVoice]

9. Check out the bonus track from the black Eyed Peas new album.

Third Eye -

You were fooling me once before
but i tell you there's no fooling me twice no more

'Cuz when i open up my curtain, my curtain
Trying to get away with murder, with murder

Yeah, you was fooling me once before
But i tell ya, there's no fooling me twice no more
Stop your oppression, oppression

Check it out, i've got a question, a question
If Bush is Pinnochio, Pinnochio
Who the hell is Gepetto, Gepetto?
Beware of Gepetto

[Melodybe]

11. Whoa, good stuff. I love the Black eyed peas, they are making history

too

"Where is the love" Has yet to get old.

We are so lucky to be alive, it sucks while your living through it, but to be making so my history we will be remembered forever.
