Lyrics

Have we not programmed our lives to a haven of black boxes and loudspeakers
Connected to the knowledge bases of our infertile minds
Have we not washed from birth as you idolized and worshipped men of color
Not our black and white Moshoeshoe figures?
We soul-subtract the soul-survivors in the fourth world war of the soul-destruction.
We navigate our vision with a northern star and trace the path between
Adam and Eve back to the point where the Lord made Jesus his son
And put him down on earth to lead us.
See, this is the return of the dragon.
I'm not talking about Bruce Lee; I'm talking about true heat.
And it's either you've got cold feet, or you've got some poetry.
They say the good die young, the crackheads live long
So we crack open our heads to poetry and process it
Through the thousand convertible engines in the back room
The top shelves of our medulla oblongata.
And we stroke the marinated chocolate skin of this fine rhymes
The sweet sounds, the diversion of deep speech of this
White, pink, gray, black mixed-race queen as we use our pen to rip our panties off.
Lie in bed and cover ourselves with an A4 blanket and move and groove
As we engage in coitus to produce that fetus that when fully grown, we call it poetry.
