Title: Vultures Post by: gman on February 05, 2004, 10:35:59 AM Ay yo we livin in a world run by despicable demons
And they been killin off my kinfolk since before I was semen Some folks is dreamin With a s***eatin grin beamin Sayin 'thank you massa' after he give them a reamin Yo I'm steamin, like a pot on the boil when I watch the Murderous manouvers of the baldhead accoster Invader like Darth Who hate the people with swarthy skin They locked us in, like sardines in a tin Corralled, captured and kidnapped from the kingdom of Kush Now they lock us in a dungeon just for burnin the bush Well like pharoah I guess they heart must be hardened So many Black people getting beat up by the warden And also yo no estoy olvidando los puertoriquenos ni tampoco los mexicanos Hermanos We all in this s*** together Rising up from underground and coming up from out the nether Regions, in legions seething with fury rage and anger But not with hatred cos you know we overstand the Principle that love alone can conquer You cannot raid the bunker It's time to throw down the ankh-or The life force that keeps me calm in the tempestuous Depths of the ocean that swallowed some of the best of us When they jumped off the ships into the sharks' mouth Some got a blade and cut the pirates' hearts out Cos there's no amistad with enemies From Nat Turner to Sojourner, better check your pedigrees They got your parents and seeds Locked in penitentiaries Send they scientists to Africa to inject disease In us nigs I guess to them we're just guinea pigs But now we gotta rip they masks off and blow off they wigs From off they bonnets Check out the dope hip-hop sonnets We blaze the chronics And then the sonics soar like comets High over the baldhead vulture that murder and insult ya Wants you dead to pick at the bones of your culture Like Bob said, you sing bout the oppression they put you through They take the music then they steal it, sell it back to you At vastly inflated prices, it's fishier than pisces It's time we recognize who the lice is That infest this god-blessed nest and sacred refuge F*** the vultures that be eatin human refuse... [May vultures gnaw your innards if you bite my lyrics, ya heard] Title: Re: Vultures Post by: gman on February 05, 2004, 10:42:03 AM I should add:
The above lyrics are my verse from a song by the now sadly-defunct and never-recorded Portland, OR supergroup "Da Shacklesnappaz". The chorus was not written by me but by my boy Drew Mac, a lyrical genius if ever there was one... to put my verse in context I'm going to write down the chorus below, just bear in mind, as I said, Drew Mac gets the credit for it: Vultures Tryin to capitalize on our culture Before you know it they'll take your soul over With their mental remote-controller, thought I told ya It ain't nothin new S***'s been goin on long long before Elvis stole the blues... |
