To The Core

I am a scientific prolific polemic
empiricist home-grown black bone
lyricist protagonists
I was conceived in
a land removed from this time zone
there was no Bet no MTV no magazine
Named Ebony

See
my only master is the one who made me
he/she the birds the bees the trees the seas the breezes
I was conceived in a land
which is the historical opposite and
nemesis of Rome if this system is Goliath
that I shall be David's one stone


this was the time before
five-year-old children had cellular
telephones I was conceived in a land
which is the historical opposite and
nemesis of Rome if this system is Goliath
that I shall be David's one stone

it was arranged that I come into this world
to become a righteous warrior from birth every
single dripping dreadlock on my head
represents ten million sufferers on
earth

it was also arranged that I come into
this world for the purpose of being a
human rights activist

now I'm not sure
if I was right about human beings in the
way that they're acting

in this world

many were also of this fold

Accursed to be reincarnated into the human mold

species identification
and syncopation
of circulation
and respiration
gave no hope or aspiration for

soul sonic vibration

now I'm the witnesser of
Ill times
carnal prime
villages concubines
fools gold


The devil's wine traffic fines
long grocery lines and a genuine fear of
doing a hard time in places where the Sun
don't shine

the full moon is not an omen
sign

I looked at them and smile and the
Atlantic Ocean said I've seen you before
and we were resurrected once more
because we stayed true and Africa to the
core

in the ancient day you
were the students while we were the
teacher, we were the athletes on the
historical field while you were just a
spectator in the bleacher

but today the
duplicator has become the originator
the originator
has become the
duplicator the duplicator
has become
the originator the originator has
become the duplicator
sort of like a six
a cycle like a
spinning kidney dilator

you
have taken out my tongue and
transplanted your tongue into mine
so i could speak the way that you speak
you have taken out my eyes and
transplanted your eyes into mine so I
could see the world the way that you see
it you have taken out my mind and
transplanted your mind into mine so I
could think the way that you think this
was your legacy your present day and your
Latter-day campaign

African sense of self never to be seen a - gain

African sense of self never to be heard a- gain

African sense of self never to be smelled a - gain

African sense of self never to be tasted a - gain

now we grow up with no sense of community
the community is defined as like one unity
and if we have no sense of community and
no like one unity then oh my god would
have the psychological surgical strike
done to you and me

in all of the pain
and the torture our ancestors went
through how quickly we forget

this type of lifestyle is nothing other than
pathetic

and because of monkey-see
monkey-do the children do what you do
and follow you one do not see the truth
but do not see the clue and do not see
who from who I heard that blindness is
genetic

my tongue

drips

Blood

we were the ones who built the pyramids but
today we live in housing built by HUD

I'm hearing voices


I'm screaming names

I'm screaming names like Soweto
Steve Biko amadou diallol

I'm screaming names like

nkrumah Lumumba green
and Zynga Abner Louima

I'm screaming names
like Marcus Garvey Peter Tosh and mr.
Marley

I'm screaming names like Mumia
abu-jamal I scream for one I screamed
for us all

I looked at them smile
and
The Atlantic Ocean said
I've seen you
before
and we
were resurrected once more
because we stayed
true and African

To the core
