Generate meaning
1
I see slow genocide,
2
Bodies strung like tanning hides,
3
oh and the fly covered babys,
4
and in the mirror love
5
I see another sun,
6
I will try hard to smile back at me.
7
It's no burnt cork affair,
8
It's no undue despair,
9
I know a joy that's mocked
10
and I know a grief.
11
I know a slave name
12
and I know a cold shame!!
13
and I know I cried in disbelief!
14
But I see a porno star
15
loaded on alcohal,
16
I see a rolling stone,
17
And I see a creep,
18
Comin to on my knees,
19
Empty hands full of all I will keep!
20
Smiling black faces,
21
Can anyone see?
22
Is anything radical in wantin' to be?
23
And on his wedding day
24
they took Sean Bell away,
25
cops let their bullets spray
26
in the same city where I am a man.
27
And when the gavel fell
28
over that bloody hell
29
everyone walked away
30
no one even got canned!
31
This nations comprimised
32
just shrugged and turned it's eyes
33
Some maybe shook their heads and muttered
34
"What a shame..."
35
But his body's
36
My body's
37
Your bodies could die in pain!!!
38
Smiling black faces
39
Is anyone free?
40
Is anything radical
41
In wantin' to be?
42
But I see love breakin through,
43
Right through the face of cool.
44
Time to heed Nelsons call,
45
Not to let self stay small,
46
Know we can conquor all of this bullshit
47
If we know where we stand.
48
Square on the side of love,
49
Know how to arm a dove,
50
I know I want to sing
51
So I know I can.
52
And if there are joys to come,
53
If there is movin' on,
54
If there is love abounding let it sustain
55
Oh coo coo brown babe,
56
Black baby with my last name!!
57
And I can see Smiling Black Faces!!
58
I can see Smiling Black Faces!!
59
I can see Shineing Black Faces!!
60
Keepin their teeth,
61
Sayin fuck grief,
62
What a release!!
what else can i hide in here? #shorts
