    Man, this is pure fucking poetry.
    And the fact that they added David Byrne to the verse makes it GOAT by default.

    This is insane. I didn't know anyone else was on a rotation of Talking Heads, Jurassic 5 and Blackalicious but me, but BAM! This is about half the stable of my musical heroes on one track!

    For thirty years David Byrne has been making phenominal music...he can do anything he feels like...his latest colaboration with "feat" including the song "Money" an this "People Tree" are continued proof that he is a musical "God"!!!!

      Yeah he should colab with Feat more often. That dude seems to be on every great album of the last 30 years.

    Impossible not to dance to this. Ozomatli is awesome, so that sound is killer and David Byrne adding to it just makes it even more incredible.

  • @Opravdu

    I was going to recommend looking up the lyrics but fuck it they're so good I gotta post 'em:
    From the drop of blood, to bones and body parts
    To vital organs, forming your brain and tiny heart
    The fetus, date of birth; until puberty finally starts
    Adolescence, adult, then your elderly body rots
    It was divine decree that begun the plan
    But is diseased by the greed of the sons of man
    Don't try to leave with the guns in hand
    Understand: God's the one in command
    Did we climb out of the sea?
    Where did we come from, you and me?
    Two legs to walk, and as you see
    I'm not a man I want to be
    People growing, my backyard (I'm growing in your backyard)
    In my garden, in my heart (I'm in your garden, I'm in your heart)
    Pink and purple, red and blue (See all the colors?)
    On this sunny afternoon (It's a sunny afternoon)
    Back before time was time and space was space
    The ever-present eye divine so laced with grace
    Decided it was time to try to chase, to chase
    But what it would design, now life is taking place
    Within itself, divided; now it takes some space
    And it can't be found alive, the mind creates the state
    Of ego, now what's mine is mine
    OK, now hate will reign until the blind have eyes and lay awake in wait
    How are the seeds in the ground?
    How is my garden growing now?
    A tender kiss, a little smile
    The way a mother holds its child
    Tasty little human beings (Tasty little human beings)
    I grow them on the people tree (I grow them on the people tree)
    I will eat them one by one (Eat them one by one)
    If there's enough for everyone (Like you and you)
    Born in the ever-flowing life beyond the dirt
    Tell me what the purpose is for creating the earth
    (Maybe we created the planet as man's habitat
    Be fruitful and multiply across the planet's back)
    Well, why does hate exist?
    The war and AIDS and shit?
    If we're to be fruitful, why can't poor people pay they rent?
    ('Cause love and hate, both sides are conjoined
    Physical forms have to deal with both sides of the coin)
    Why do we die? (So you can live!)
    Why do we strive? (So you can win!
    But why did you defy every truthful word I recommend?)
    My question back, why do you recommend an ode temptationing
    (So I can test your patience and tolerance in the face of sin)
    But why attest when you hold all the answers to the state we in?
    (For you to bear witness of imperfections of mortal men)
    So it's a lesson? (And a blessing
    Journey back to where you been
    'Cause before the tree can flourish seeds must first be planted in)
    People growing, my backyard (I'm growing in my backyard)
    In my garden, in my heart (I'm in your garden, I'm in your heart)
    If you like my garden, you might like me (Look at all the colors!)
    Underneath the people tree

    Anyone heard Sticky Fingaz song "Oh My God"? The character, a broken, drug addicted man, is speaking to God and asking him many questions about life.
    From 2:25 to 3:05, this song has a similar rhythm and idea as Sticky's dialog with God. Just throwin' this out there.

    Desde la gota de sangre hasta los huesos y partes del cuerpo.
    From the drop of blood, to bones and body parts
    A los órganos vitales, formando tu cerebro y tu pequeño corazón.
    To vital organs, forming your brain and tiny heart
    El feto, fecha de nacimiento;
    The fetus, date of birth;
    hasta que finalmente comienza la pubertad
    until puberty finally starts
    Adolescencia, adulto, luego tu cuerpo anciano se pudre
    Adolescence, adult, then your elderly body rots
    Fue un decreto divino el que inició el plan.
    It was divine decree that begun the plan
    Pero está enfermo por la avaricia de los hijos del hombre.
    But is diseased by the greed of the sons of man
    No intentes irte con las armas en la mano.
    Don't try to leave with the guns in hand
    Entiende: Dios es el que está al mando.
    Understand: God's the one in command
    ¿Salimos del mar?
    Did we climb out of the sea?
    ¿De dónde venimos tú y yo?
    Where did we come from, you and me?
    Dos piernas para caminar, y como ves
    Two legs to walk, and as you see
    no soy un hombre quiero ser
    I'm not a man I want to be
    Gente creciendo, mi patio trasero (yo estoy creciendo en tu patio trasero)
    People growing, my backyard (I'm growing in your backyard)
    En mi jardín, en mi corazón (Estoy en tu jardín, estoy en tu corazón)
    In my garden, in my heart (I'm in your garden, I'm in your heart)
    Rosa y morado, rojo y azul (¿Ves todos los colores?)
    Pink and purple, red and blue (See all the colors?)
    En esta tarde soleada (Es una tarde soleada)
    On this sunny afternoon (It's a sunny afternoon)
    Antes de que el tiempo fuera tiempo y el espacio fuera espacio
    Back before time was time and space was space
    El ojo divino siempre presente tan lleno de gracia
    The ever-present eye divine so laced with grace
    Decidió que era hora de intentar perseguir, perseguir
    Decided it was time to try to chase, to chase
    Pero lo que diseñaría, ahora la vida está sucediendo.
    But what it would design, now life is taking place
    Dentro de sí mismo, dividido;
    Within itself, divided;
    ahora se necesita algo de espacio
    now it takes some space
    Y no se puede encontrar vivo, la mente crea el estado
    And it can't be found alive, the mind creates the state
    De ego, ahora lo mío es mío
    Of ego, now what's mine is mine
    Bien, ahora el odio reinará hasta que los ciegos tengan ojos y se queden despiertos al acecho.
    OK, now hate will reign until the blind have eyes and lay awake in wait
    ¿Cómo son las semillas en la tierra?
    How are the seeds in the ground?
    ¿Cómo está creciendo mi jardín ahora?
    How is my garden growing now?
    Un beso tierno, una pequeña sonrisa.
    A tender kiss, a little smile
    La forma en que una madre sostiene a su hijo.
    The way a mother holds its child
    Humanitos sabrosos (Seres humanos sabrosos)
    Tasty little human beings (Tasty little human beings)
    Los cultivo en el árbol de personas (los cultivo en el árbol de personas)
    I grow them on the people tree (I grow them on the people tree)
    Me los comeré uno por uno (Cómelos uno por uno)
    I will eat them one by one (Eat them one by one)
    Si hay suficiente para todos (Como tú y tú)
    If there's enough for everyone (Like you and you)
    Nacido en la vida que fluye siempre más allá de la suciedad
    Born in the ever-flowing life beyond the dirt
    Dime cuál es el propósito de crear la tierra.
    Tell me what the purpose is for creating the earth
    (Quizás creamos el planeta como hábitat del hombre
    (Maybe we created the planet as man's habitat
    Sean fructíferos y multiplíquense a lo largo del planeta)
    Be fruitful and multiply across the planet's back)
    Bueno, ¿por qué existe el odio?
    Well, why does hate exist?
    ¿La guerra y el SIDA y esa mierda?
    The war and AIDS and shit?
    Si queremos ser fructíferos, ¿por qué los pobres no pueden pagar el alquiler?
    If we're to be fruitful, why can't poor people pay they rent?
    (Porque el amor y el odio, ambos lados están unidos
    ('Cause love and hate, both sides are conjoined
    Las formas físicas tienen que lidiar con ambas caras de la moneda)
    Physical forms have to deal with both sides of the coin)
    ¿Por qué morimos?
    Why do we die?
    (¡Para que puedas vivir!)
    (So you can live!)
    ¿Por qué nos esforzamos?
    Why do we strive?
    (¡Para que puedas ganar!
    (So you can win!
    ¿Pero por qué desafiaste cada palabra veraz que recomiendo?)
    But why did you defy every truthful word I recommend?)
    Mi pregunta de vuelta, ¿por qué recomiendas una oda tentadora?
    My question back, why do you recommend an ode temptationing
    (Para poder poner a prueba tu paciencia y tolerancia ante el pecado)
    (So I can test your patience and tolerance in the face of sin)
    Pero ¿por qué dar fe cuando tiene todas las respuestas sobre el estado en el que nos encontramos?
    But why attest when you hold all the answers to the state we in?
    (Para que des testimonio de las imperfecciones de los hombres mortales)
    (For you to bear witness of imperfections of mortal men)
    ¿Entonces es una lección?
    So it's a lesson?
    (Y una bendición
    (And a blessing
    Viaje de regreso a donde has estado
    Journey back to where you been
    Porque antes de que el árbol pueda florecer, primero se deben plantar semillas)
    'Cause before the tree can flourish seeds must first be planted in)
    Gente creciendo, mi patio trasero (estoy creciendo en mi patio trasero)
    People growing, my backyard (I'm growing in my backyard)
    En mi jardín, en mi corazón (Estoy en tu jardín, estoy en tu corazón)
    In my garden, in my heart (I'm in your garden, I'm in your heart)
    Si te gusta mi jardín, tal vez yo te guste (¡Mira todos los colores!)
    If you like my garden, you might like me (Look at all the colors!)

    N.A.S.A. purposely planned the album to have a visual counterpart. They really wanted to make sure their favourite visual artists were included in the creative process and project.
    I interviewed them recently & we talked about all this stuff. Will post soon!

      (For you to bear witness of imperfections of mortal men)
      So it's a lesson? (And a blessing
      Journey back to where you been
      'Cause before the tree can flourish seeds must first be planted in)
      People growing, my backyard (I'm growing in my backyard)
      In my garden, in my heart (I'm in your garden, I'm in your heart)
      If you like my garden, you might like me (Look at all the colors!)
      Underneath the people tree
