Where You At?, by Derrick Carter

As I stop, and take the time
To inventory, the inside of my mind
I realize, it's not as full as it used to be.

With images of justice, or desires of liberty
The world has changed, or is it me that's new?

A different set of morals from a different set of clues
So still I wonder, is this all there is to life?
The ever changing cycles, in a world that's damp and ripe
There must be more, yeah, my heart I hold to this.

I've enjoyed love and I've seen the peace and bliss
But as you know, all things must end, except the need for faith
And the spirit that's within to keep you strong.
Move forward with power, program yourself to feel,
With depth enough to know what's up, and heart to sense the real.

Where you at?

As I stop, for the frame we set aside
Below the baseline, a secret place awaits for us to hide.
To pass the time as the war goes on-and-on.
A post-apocalyptic sunset, a post-apocalyptic dawn
Of just a thought of the world we want possessed
A place that wasn't honest, was just a house with an address.
Of existence, wrought with fear and mistrust, a life inside a box,
No life inside of us.

Find your soul, use your inner voice,
The road less traveled, is now the path of choice.
Realize, with time comes change
New attitudes, new values, priorities rearranged.

Move forward with power, program yourself to feel,
With depth enough to know what's up and heart to sense the real.

Where you at?

Welcome, genevieve. Yes, they're lyrics from Derrick Carter and they were on a Techno song, Deep House genre.

Thanks for the welcome. I love poetry and song lyrics. Have been spending time reading the poetry in the story section. Wish I could write like that. :-)

Probably just old school me, but I could not enjoy it due to being bothered by the title and the preposition at the end of the sentence....

Like a burr in my saddle, I guess...lol

Would you have liked it better if it was "Where are you at?" LOL. Or perhaps just, "Where are you?"

The "where you at" interrupts the flow of the poem, but I think it also slaps you in the face and asks you point-blank to get it together.

They are really good lyrics, speaking to the essence of happiness, fulfillment and the purposeful life.... I just chafe at the lack of respect for our language sometimes, but I do see the point and it does grab one.

Welcome genevieve! Tu parles francais peut-etre?


Oui je parle français. J'étais né à Montréal, mais j'ai habité aux Etats-Unis pendant 20 années.

Thanks, Hot Pants. I especially wanted you to see 'em.

I don't think the techno song has the "Where you at" lines in them.

I'll email the song to whoever wants to hear it.

Je ne parle pas francais

I did like the lyrics though. I probably have a gig of lyrics saved that move me.
