Question 4 U... about lyrics in Welcome 2 America


(Moderator edit: the title to the thread has been edited to make clear the subject matter of the post - l'ange bleu)


In the Welcome 2 America song,

there is a chant that is backwords that goes...

"clear the channel of God now, Clear the channel of truth, clear the channel of sin. Clear the channel, clear the channel."

what do u think that means?

I believe when we clear the channels, we VIBE.

That's been discussed in a sticky for W2A I believe. Might be worth checking the gazillion existing threads first next time.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Sorry man,

I usually vibe over in the Art, Podcasts, & Fan Content form.

there is so much written here in this form about him from his music, woman, business, life and death, that it gets a bit much to comb through...

Can U point me in the direction of a thread that focuses on his vibe?

until then...

I'm Vibing,

A conversation between EWE & EYE

***

I have a question regarding Welcome 2 America song... during the part where Shelby says dismantle all monopoly's, in the right speaker, spoken backwards there is a phrase that goes "clear the channel of God now, Clear the channel of truth, clear the channel of sin. Clear the channel, clear the channel."

what do u think that means?

to me it is saying whatever your perception of God, clear the channel. what ever your perception of truth, clear the channel, what ever your perception of sin, clear the channel. clear the channel now.
Our bodies are they not channels?

When the channels are clear we vibe
***
Frequency’s

What are you vibrating on through from
Clear the wave Files of your heart soul and mind start fresh with the truth
***
If you clear the wave files, and there is nothing left, how do u start fresh with the truth?
it wouldn't be here
***
Exactly because you weren’t starting with anything corrupt we are not formed or made out of corruption we’re first made innocent
***
But it also gets a little tricky when you insert the divine
***
And that’s another long conversation
***
what if you don't have to insert the divine. if we were first made innocent the divine would already be apart of the software
***
Yes and that is another long conversation
***
we are the software
***
We are the software and sometimes I need to reboot
***
that's funny I just herd Prince say... If I were to reboot I would be a **************.
because we have the same software
***
Oh snap!!!! 🙌🏾
***
lol he just finished... developer. He said u would like that smile

It's in reference to Clear Channel the media conglomerate, which is IHeartMedia now(?) - I think it was a bug bear for him at the time, the gatekeeping of radio and media channels by these huge corporations.
