lyrics

They say to follow your intuition.
It’s bad advice. I guess I didn’t listen.
Learned that every word of earnest isn’t wisdom.
The whiteness inside of me lied to me through premonition.
Writhing as I set the rhythms.
But I rejected it, what they jockeyed as excellence
Tried to stop me, a detriment on this journey to exodus.
Get with this, shit is effortless.
Barking on the track I’m DMX in this.
720 trick I’m BMXing this. So mess with this.
Pan-African feminist. Quellist. A Falconer follower.
Tough but I’m generous. Masculine but effeminate,
Centered, I’m comfortable in my own skin.
Unlike the reactionary degenerates.
We’re fundamental, even whether they’re ancillary is tentative.
I move Strange. More than half as scary as Benedict.
Life is short so history appears to be pathetic and repetitive.
To build revolution is hard and delicate. It’s Genesis.
So Lenin and Rosa are who I’ve credited.
From Marx to Assata we oughta cast away the fetishes.
I put a needle through Wilson just for emphasis.
Castaway. Basic survival, no need for etiquette.

So get washed in my stream of consciousness.
Stirred in the dialectic of action versus consequence.
There’s a lot to this.
Only stones break bones, I guess I lost the sticks.
The people’s champs are the masses that rock bottom shit.
Sarah and John Conner ish. Karen’s and Chad’s do not honour this.
A long line of grand wizards is who your father is.
I’m tearing down his statue to slap you and stab you.
The same sword from the book of Mathew.

I had to. Slay whitey in his little castle.
I had to. For all the people living in rags too.
I had to. Burn it all to ash to rehash.
Yes I had to. (I had to.)
Kick you off the mantle.
I had to. (I had to).
Slay whitey in his castle.
I had to.

We needed Fa and his crew in Hip Hop, we need to dump the trap mentality, it is wrong! The style varies and combines so many elements, instruments, melodies.. some tracks remind me of my fav military style Wu Tang, Killarmy, Gravediggaz joints. HipHopGorilla
