Greentea Peng


Searching for balance, praying for clarity
Ma strip me naked, take this identity
Tell me it's unity
In Lak'ech Ala K'in
I am you, you are me [1]
Searching for balance, praying for clarity
Ma strip me naked, take this identity
Tell me it's unity
In Lak'ech Ala K'in
I am you, you are me

I wear clothes, I like to hide
So no one knows what I'm made from
Deep in my soul
Taken from home so far we stroll
Deep in these roads
Think we control this shit, we don't
But fuck we could, I wish we would
Throw away these phones, get a bit more holy
See the world more slowly, take time to smell the roses

Searching for balance, praying for clarity
Ma strip me naked, take this identity
Tell me it's unity
In Lak'ech Ala K'in
I am you, you are me
Searching for balance, praying for clarity
Ma strip me naked, take this identity
Tell me it's unity
In Lak'ech Ala K'in
I am you, you are me

See all I know is that I know
Nothing at all, this shit is so
Mystical, magical
I know we don't know our potential
How could we when they lie they cast spells
And they try dropping bombs from the skies
Like we are not stars
Inside me there's a war
Gem eye, gem eye

Searching for balance, praying for clarity
Ma strip me naked, take this identity
Tell me it's unity
In Lak'ech Ala K'in
I am you, you are me
Searching for balance, praying for clarity
Ma strip me naked, take this identity
Tell me it's unity
In Lak'ech Ala K'in
I am you, you are me
[1] “In Lak'ech Ala K'in” is a Mayan phrase whose modern translation is:

I am another yourself


The traditional interpretation is the next line that Peng sings:

I am you, you are me


The phrase acts as a symbol of unity and interconnectedness and is used a way to greet the person to whom you’re speaking. The phrase has a similar meaning to the Hindu greeting “Namaste,” as well as the Lakota tribe’s greeting of “Mitakuye Oyasin.”
