Lyrics

There was a man who took a stand did what he can to build the world anew
called Black tan Red and Sand Haitian Cheyenne and Mande too
Chief of the land blood of the San the Saamaka the Ga and Wassoulou
Mau Mau Maori Egbe ibo Olmec Aztec and the Sioux.
There was a man who took a stand did what he can to build the world anew
called Black tan Red and Sand Haitian Cheyenne and Mande too
Chief of the land blood of the San the Saamaka the Ga the Wassoulou
Mau Mau Maori Egbe Ibo Olmec Aztec
Mau Mau Maori Egbe Ibo Olmec Aztec
Mau Mau Maori Egbe ibo Olmec Aztec and the Sioux.

His mother supreme goddess to our world
contained only within the confines of her melanated body
the divinely encrypted mitochondrial information requisite to create all man
Black woman reflection of cosmic radiance
incandescent earthly mother and mirror to our universe
birthing all color the credulous condemned her
believing her to be as baseless as the phallic gods conjured to replace her
she is the unyielding unrelenting unbroken undying mother of all who came to be
the inescapable beginning and ending of the sacred equation that is you and me
sovereign of your actual universe
root to all persuasions
Goddess Empress Chieftess Black girl whom birthed all nations
she calls collect after torching and liberating a border town ICE facility
home of children in cages Kevlar armor and forced hysterectomy
in the aftermath of ashes the credulous thought to bind her
undermine castigate malign her
break and blind her but can you hear her call
Shoshone Atakapa Ido Tuareg Toma Songhai Aluku
There was a man who took a stand did what he can to build anew
Chief of the land blood of the San the Saamaka Ga and Wassoulou
Mau Mau Maori Egbe Ibo Olmec Aztec Sioux.

The self-liberating sovereign rose to give her hunter a vison
one to cease quarrel and quiet all derision
to Bark Out Thunder To Roar Out Lightning
Chiefhood bestowed to he whom loves avenges and lives rightly
trumpet the end of unreciprocated temperance and humility
dismantle the works of the inhumane bigoted hateful and regressive genenically
the civilized
the civilized
he whom destroys himself through the destruction of all around him conjurer of lies
recognized as physically man but never piously one
ending of all negotiations of value and worth with he whom is allergic to the sun
unburnt necro negro sage savior wading and waiting to get through
who stood stands resist reclaims repelled rebelled all you tried to do
to disappear her dignity to make her and her kin more like you
who is the ****
who has always been the
pawn of the orange man the gun in hand bigoted land will you ever see
still tethered to her mammary gland what you planed gold in hand could never truly be
we do not fear the man the hooded clan the law the gunman or the got damn blue
fantoms barren baseless bile filled bogus little ol’ you
standing there now pretending to be sleeping.
land of the captured home of the fearful
the civilized
Xenophobic Homophobic Transphobic Philophobia Heliophobic Spectraphobic Panphobic phobic phobic you
standing there now pretending to be sleeping
land of the captured home of the fearful
the civilized
forked tongued woman womb full of lies
broken disconnected ignorant and in fear of breaking water
karma carried to term ire of those you lead to slaughter
destiny’s manifest klan-destine plan to burn the world and we
never once looking around to see all the love that could truly be
fearful now feigning love for the mother and we
results of your true nature cast electorally
so your fears pheromonal draw the hunter near
smell you from a mile away colonial fear tolerate you no longer plague and famine when your near
death dealing terrorist bully pulpit profiteer
curriculums of hate u give children you hold dear
kill the ones whom teach us love the ones whose vision is clear
hindsight’s 2020 but the verdicts still unclear
I think you can’t outrun the fires born of the violence you’ve endeared
can’t outrun those fires of your yesteryear
leave it in yesteryear now
in yesteryear
can’t outrun the fires born of the violence you’ve endeared
the hunter never half-steps his footsteps you’ll never hear
his hand made steady by the love of those you endeavored to breed with fear
his arrow at the ready to pierce through your veneer
I think you can’t outrun those fires born of the violence you’ve endeared
can’t outrun those fires born of the violence you’ve endeared

gon bring em down
