It was 8:49 on a beautiful 9th day of july |
|
There was not a cloud to speak of so the orange sun hung |
|
Lonely in the sky |
|
I was laying prone in my ?catbeat? home |
|
Listening to fine nappy jackie and his jazzcat's horn |
|
Sliding in a tape of bird on verve when suddenly rang my phone |
|
Hello butterfly , a voice said |
|
Slip on some duds comb out your fro and slide on down to my pad |
|
The vibe here is very pleasant and i truly request your presence |
|
A problem of great magnitude has arose |
|
And as we speak it grows |
|
Damn, what could it be i thought |
|
A juice i bought and rolled on down to her pad |
|
Seeing bros i know slapping fives i arrived and pressed G-5 |
|
And there was nikki |
|
Lookin some kind of sad with tears fallin from her eyes |
|
She sat me down |
|
And dug my frown and began to run it down |
|
"you remember my boyfriend sid that fly kid who i love |
|
Well our love was often a verb and spontaneity has brought a third |
|
But do to our youth an economic state we wish to terminate |
|
About this we don't feel great , but baby that's how it is |
|
But the feds have dissed me |
|
They ignore and dismiss |
|
And the pro-lifers harrass me outside the clinic |
|
And call me a murderer, now that's hate |
|
So needless to say we're in a mental state of debate" |
|
Hey beautiful bird i said digging her somber mood |
|
The fascists are some heavy dudes |
|
They don't really give a damn about life |
|
They just don't want a woman to |
|
Control her body or have the right to choose |
|
But baby that ain't nothin |
|
They just want a male finger on the button |
|
Because if you say war they will send them to die by the score |
|
Aborting mission should be your volition |
|
But if souter and thomas have their way |
|
You'll be standing in line unable to get welfare while they're out |
|
Hunting and fishing |
|
It has always been around it will always have a niche |
|
But they'll make it a privelege not a right |
|
Accessible only to the rich |
|
Pro-lifers should dig themselves |
|
Cause life doesn't stop after birth |
|
And to a child borne to the unprepared |
|
It might even just get worse |
|
Supporters of the h-bomb and fire bombing clinic |
|
What type of shit is that? orwellian in fact |
|
If roe v wade was overturned would not the desire remain intact |
|
Leaving young girls to risk their healths |
|
And doctors to botch and watch as they kill themselves |
|
I don't want to sound macabre |
|
But hey, isn't it my job |
|
To lay it on the masses and get them off their asses |
|
To fight against these fascists |
|
So whatever you decide make that move with pride |
|
Sid will be there (ladybug will be there, doodlebug will be there) |
|
And so will i |
|
An insect til i die |
|
Rhythms and sounds |
|
Spinning around |
|
Confrontations |
|
Across the nation |
|
Your block |
|
My block |
|
Dreadlocks |
|
What a shock |
|
Land of the free - but not |
|
Me |
