JAS ('Speed' Remix)

This is kind of a mass culture we live in

And it makes you, you look

You look like something or act like something that you really aren't

You know, it's like a falseness

It's like a mass personality

Just made me so narrow

That I couldn't really do, again, myself justice

So, I just broke totally away from that whole modern dance thing

They had a lot of rules and regulations

Which just didn't fit with me, you know

I wanna do this the way I wanna do it

I wanna determine my own destiny

I wanna determine how I am to speak on a stage

I don't wanna be a mass personality

I don't wanna be a one dimension

I wanna be me, I wanna be human

It's a form of relaxation

It's a form of emotional release

I felt raised, I felt lifted

Jazz

And I realized once I began to take my art form seriously

That the divinity would rap through me

Jazz

Jazz

It gave me an ability to expand my mental power

Because then I had to begin to analyze

And look into all this emotion, all this feeling

And all of this gave me a sense of totalness
