Torin’s happy birthday rap song to Kalu

Chorus:

Hey ho, there goes a very happy yogi

And he sings songs sing along so we can laugh and joy

and his name is his eminence Kalu Rinpoche

Blessing us with us on his twenty-first birthday

Repeat

Congratulations now you’re legal in the states

Man if I was king i’d give you the key to the country

Yangsi Rinpoche holding down the Shangpa

And us in North America we’re holding down the fort son

Ready for your return and we hope to sing an encore

And pray for every being that you’re meeting on your world tour

And go far and beyond and gone

Om gaté gaté bodhi svaha

And we’re all together now thanks to our karma

Sangha with super uber duper samaya

Go Kalu rinpoche you-tube guru

After seeing you man I’m so glad to meet you

And wrote this song just to show a bit of gratitude

our presence alone’s enough to change somebodies attitude

You’re too cool for school, got too much love yo

It’s impossible to watch you and leave in a bad mood

You’re facebook statuses are far from trivial

I never knew how words could ever be so powerfu

That’s why we don’t do this here cuz we have to

We do this cuz every cell in us wants to

Chorus x2

Yo I grew up on drala rock I knew not to follow the

Rules that had ‘em falling back snoozing

I wondered where the mala at

So the only law’s karma

All’s fair in love and war, you can’t stop the drama

So I stepped on the path with baby steps

Bt it’s like there’s so many dues we ain’t payed it yet

So its like I’d be so happy to help pave it yes

Aso just go me the way and I’ll lay the tracks

But I digress

If I don’t meditate my mind’s a mess

That goes without saying son it’s kind of obvious

But samsara’s like a cataract

And if we be the pupils then you’d be the retinas

Cuz that’s where the truth is

Student and gurus are kind of in the same boat

You can be the yin and we can be the yang yo

So the last thing I’ll say then on this special day

Is not what you can do for us but what can we do for you playa

Chorus x4
