You cannot find
You cannot find that missing piece of your mind
How far must we go back in time
Tell me once again
How did it all start
I'll try to listen carefully
Hear between the words
clear the air between
You cannot find
You cannot find that missing piece of your mind
Take pride in how far you have come
There's no greater skill than standing after a fall
Release what doesn't suit you well
Do some magic tricks
Conjure your own spell
I wanna take you to the top
I wanna get you out so you can breath
Just breath
You cannot find
You cannot find that missing piece of your mind

Mamacita
Nombres mios cuando yo digo
Con quien hablas asi?
Yo no respondo a llamadas en la calle
Yo no respondo cuando me hablan asi
Tu ves algo diferente
En el año 2000 y que?
Madre, hija, abuelita
Sube la mano si se aplica
Sube la bien
Sube la bien
Sube la bien
Sube la mano
Si me tocas te agarare mas fuerte
Para que te duele le le le
Espero que entiendas que tengo que guiar por ejemplo
Para que mi hija vea lo que es corecto
Ser ignorante y irespetuoso es inaceptable
No importa si eres el hombre mas rico del mundo

High Road

I wanna be gracious
I wanna be kind
I wanna take the highest road that I can find
My mind is blown
It's a feeling
Of disbelief in what I'm hearing
Reading, seeing, is not always believing
Over and over and over on repeat
No need to rewind
It's an alternate reality in real time
You can say it this way today
A different way tomorrow
Just to try to fuck with my memory
Integrity, hey ma what's that?
Everybody wants it, not everybody has it
It's like Queen Latifah said back in '93
U N I T Y
That's unity
I wanna be gracious
I wanna be kind
I wanna take the highest road that I can find
But the things you've said and done
Make we drop every good thing that my mama taught me
You can tune in
You can tune out
Just turn yourself all the way up
This is for my mother
This is for my daughter
Do it how you want just show up for one another
Please pass the sharpie on the left-hand side
I need to make a sign
I need to hold it high
There's some things that have got to stop
Nobody grabbing nobody on my watch
I wanna be gracious
I wanna be kind
I wanna take the highest road that I can find
But the things you've said and done
Make we drop every good thing that my mama taught me

Freedom
03:05
|

|
I've waited so long for this time
I wanted someone who'd listen
This time this one's for me
Somebody must pay attention
We're part of the population
We won't just disappear
If you can't compromise
What does freedom look like?
If you could look through my eyes
What do you think it looks like?
Does anyone have the answer?
Can we learn by going backwards?
Until we get it right.
We've waited so long for this time
We wanted someone who'd listen
We aren't the only ones
If you can't compromise
What does freedom look like?
If you could look through my eyes
What do you think it looks like?

Yo Soy De Aqui
02:08
|

|
No es facil la vida
No es facil el amor
No es facil perdonar los que nos han olvidado, maltrato, engañado
No es facil comenzar de nuevo
Reconstruir y reparar
Que opcion tenemos?
Yo soy de aqui
Yo soy de aqui
Yo soy de aqui
No es facil
Sentirse indefenso
Mirar la destruccion y no ser capaz de arreglarla
Yo soy de aqui..
La tierra nos da tanto
Pero a veces nos quita
Yo soy de aqui...

Barras De Oro
03:11

|
Por mi parte llevo muchas cosas por dentro
Multiplicidades de identidades
No solo hay una
No hay ninguna palabra que me describa
La bandera que llevo no pertence a solo un grupo
Un poquito de aqui
Un poquito de alla
Como piezas de un rompecabezas zas
NO solo mujer
No solo madre
No solo cantante
Amo lo que amo
Hago lo que hago
No pido permiso no hay espacio
Como el viento
Cada dia diferente
feroz o tranquilo
La melodia cambia
Tu fuerza no te fallara
Como el viento
Cada dia diferente
Omnipresente
La melodia cambia
Tu fuerza no te fallara
Como el viento
Cada dia diferente
Indestructible
La melodia cambia
Tu fuerza no te fallara
Llevo barras de oro
Escondidas en el fondo del mar
dentro de mi
No estan a la venta
No estan a la venta
NO NO
Ciento por ciento mi riqueza
Las palabras inventadas
Los grupos exclusivos desesperados por conservar el pasado que imaginaron les pertenecian
Perspectivas antiguas
La manera en que se identifica
Todos corriendo por sus vidas
Y comiendo las noticias
Como el viento
Cada dia diferente
feroz o tranquilo
La melodia cambia
Tu fuerza no te fallara
Como el viento
Cada dia diferente
Omnipresente
La melodia cambia
Tu fuerza no te fallara
Como el viento
Cada dia diferente
Indestructible
La melodia cambia
Tu fuerza no te fallara

Tippy Tap

I opened my eyes to a different place
I felt like a stranger
My consciousness was weighing on my brain
I couldn't stop it
The different ways we could play the game
It's how you do what you do that matters
All the time we spend is worth it in the end
I promise YOU.
The highest bidder takes the prize
The show ain't over so get in line
Who's next?
Goddamn
What's next?
Goddamn
The price is high so watch your back
Use your tongue to tell the TRUTH
Tell me how you really feel
Let's do it right
Let's call it by its name
It's is so familiar
What is the action plan?
Since we can't go back
Since we can't tip tap tippy tippy tap tap
The highest bidder takes the prize
The show ain't over so get in line
Who's next?
Goddamn
What's next?
Goddamn
The price is high so watch your back
Use your tongue to tell the TRUTH
Tell me how you really feel.
Tip Tap
Tippy tippy tippy tap
Eyes are watching all the time
Tip tap on the recorded line

Leave The Light On
04:09

If I leave before you I will always try to leave the light on
So you can always find your way around
Your way around this crazy place
In a sense it is right
In a sense it is so unfair
Innocence, it is like it used to be
In a sense its on me
In a sense it's on all of us
Innocence I had it once
I watched it disappear
If I leave before you I will always try to leave the light on
So you can always find your way around
Your way around this crazy place
In a sense it's the truth
In a sense it is radical
A necessary wake up call
Wouldn't you agree?
In a sense there is hope
In a sense it's in all of us
Innocence was on the wall
But I crossed it off
This house is mine
This house is yours
Paint the walls a different color make yourself at home

Let It Slide
02:50
|

|
It's about time I wrote you a letter
So many things are overdue
How can we try
How can we try to be cool if in the end I still am blaming you?
It's about time I told you the whole story
What are the things you want to hear?
How could we know where it all would lead to
without trying to live it through?
Let it slide
Let it fly
No sense it being anyone but you

SLV New York, New York
Chicana songwriter Sandra Lilia Velasquez blurs the dividing lines of rock, pop, r&b and experimental digi-funk. Singing, and sometimes rapping, in Spanish, SLV's new album PIECE OF MIND, is a reflection on the current state of affairs.
SLV recommends:
I can listen to this band for hours on end. Try it you might feel the same.
