lyrics
buy track
THE STREET EXPLODES AS THE BRAIN FROM THAT CHILDHOOD BETWEEN THE BADNESS AND THE GOODNESS
 THE FIRE THAT FREEZES THE BULLET THAT RICOCHETS AND IMPACTS AGAINST A COTTON DOLL
 THE POSSIBILITY OF WAR WITHOUT HUNGER OF HUNGER WITHOUT CRYING OF PAIN WITHOUT WHIPS
 THE AIR OF THE AFRICAN BEAUTY WHICH WITH HIS POWERFUL MAGIC REBELS AGAINST AN IMPLACABLE AND DARING WORLD
 LIFE SLACKING AND RUPTURING THE NONSENSE OF THE LEGEND THE VOICE OF ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE THE WIND WITHIN FOUR WALLS COLD AND BLACK HITTING LIES STRONGLY THE WAR IN OPEN FIELD WHICH INFAME SEEPED IN THROUGH THE PIPES OF THE REVOLUTION
 THE RACE BURSTS INTO THE WORLD WHICH FLEES AND TRAPS LIKE A WEED INFECTED WITH PARASITES. 
-
 LIGHTNING FLASHES IN DEADLY TIMES RAW AS DEAD FLESH MISERY THAT LIES TO TOOTHLESS PEOPLE  AND TAKES ADVANTAGE TO REPRESS THEM POWER THAT SHINES FOR THE STOLEN GOLD 
AND FEEDS THE UNDESERVING PEOPLE POWER THAT BECOMES DISPROPORTIONATE  AND BLOWS UP AS A BOMB LINKED TO A FIERCE BATTLE ALIVE  AND BLOODY AS WATER THE SEARCH FOR FREEDOM FREEDOM, FREEDOM, FREEDOM!
 THE CAVERNS FULL OF COLLAPSED  AND NON ENDING TUNNELS SPILLING REBELLION FROM THE FULL WISDOM A SHADOW CONFRONTING TWO SORTS OF HUMAN BEINGS ONE IS THE INHUMAN FARCE  THAT HAS LASTED MORE THAN 400 YEARS. FLASHES OF LIGHT REFLECTING A ROTTEN SOCIETY: THE OPPRESSION OF HUMANITY
 SLIT LIVERS BUT PURE HEARTS THEY STRUGGLE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS UNITY AND EQUALITY TO COMBAT IMPERIALISM, TO FIGHT OPPRESSION 
AGAINST THE UNSCRUPULOUS BEING, THE SOUL THIEF THAT BURNS OUT AS A GAS CHAMBER IN CLOTHES AND NAILS AND IT BLOWS UP LIKE A VOLCANO! A SHOT IN THE BACK AND AN EXPLOSION IN THE FACE
WALLS THAT WANT TO BURY JUSTICE UNDER DEPRAVED NUMBERS THE REVOLUTION IS RIGHT PRESENT  AND VISCERALLY TIMELESS IN WARRIORS, FOR TRUTH AND LIBERATION HONEST PEOPLE WHO WON THEIR FREEDOM IN THE PAST AND WILL KEEP ON WINNING  SO IN THE FUTURE -
 LACRIMOGENOUS GAS EXPANDING AVOIDING SUPPORT TO THE WEAKEST IN FRONT OF THE UNHAPPINESS AND THE OPPRESSED
 PRESSURE ROCKETS BURNING  THE CLEVERNESS OF THOSE WHO ARE RISING EVERYONE, OF ALL COLORS CUT HEADS WARNING BLOOD RIVERS GETTING WET BY THE HOT RAIN WAKE UP BEFORE DYING LIKE A DOG HOPE IS BORN WHEN THE FIRST APPLE FALLS DOWN FROM THE HANGED TREE
 NO LONELINESS, FENCES NOR CANNONS WILL BE ABLE TO DEVASTATE THE INCREDIBLE HEART OF FREEDOM
 THE BEAST MARKED BY CARBON AND BOMBS BY THE GREED OF THE BLIND AND THE ONE-EYED PERSON
 GUNS OF JUSTICE BURIED IN A WELL OF VIOLENCE AND TRICKS A VILE SENTENCE AT POINT-BLANK RANGE THE FIGHT OF WOMEN AND MEN IN THIS LAND
 -  SHE'S A POET SHE'S A REVOLUTIONARY SHE'S A BLACK MAMA SHE'S A BLACK BLACK MAMA
 SHE'S A POET SHE'S A REVOLUTIONARY SHE'S A BLACK MAMA SHE'S A BLACK BLACK MAMA

LYRICS:

THE STREET EXPLODES AS THE BRAIN
FROM THAT CHILDHOOD
BETWEEN THE BADNESS AND THE GOODNESS

THE FIRE THAT FREEZES THE BULLET
THAT RICOCHETS AND IMPACTS
AGAINST A COTTON DOLL

THE POSSIBILITY OF WAR WITHOUT HUNGER
OF HUNGER WITHOUT CRYING
OF PAIN WITHOUT WHIPS

THE AIR OF THE AFRICAN BEAUTY WHICH
WITH HIS POWERFUL MAGIC
REBELS AGAINST AN IMPLACABLE AND DARING WORLD

LIFE SLACKING AND RUPTURING
THE NONSENSE OF THE LEGEND
THE VOICE OF ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE

THE WIND WITHIN FOUR WALLS
COLD AND BLACK
HITTING LIES STRONGLY

THE WAR IN OPEN FIELD
WHICH INFAME
SEEPED IN THROUGH THE PIPES OF THE REVOLUTION

THE RACE BURSTS INTO THE WORLD
WHICH FLEES AND TRAPS LIKE A WEED
INFECTED WITH PARASITES.

-

LIGHTNING FLASHES IN DEADLY TIMES
RAW AS DEAD FLESH
MISERY THAT LIES TO TOOTHLESS PEOPLE 
AND TAKES ADVANTAGE TO REPRESS THEM

POWER THAT SHINES FOR THE STOLEN GOLD 
AND FEEDS THE UNDESERVING PEOPLE
POWER THAT BECOMES DISPROPORTIONATE 
AND BLOWS UP AS A BOMB

LINKED TO A FIERCE BATTLE
ALIVE  AND BLOODY AS WATER
THE SEARCH FOR FREEDOM
FREEDOM, FREEDOM, FREEDOM!

THE CAVERNS FULL OF COLLAPSED 
AND NON ENDING TUNNELS
SPILLING REBELLION FROM THE FULL WISDOM
A SHADOW CONFRONTING TWO SORTS OF HUMAN BEINGS

ONE IS THE INHUMAN FARCE 
THAT HAS LASTED MORE THAN 400 YEARS.
FLASHES OF LIGHT REFLECTING A ROTTEN SOCIETY:
THE OPPRESSION OF HUMANITY

SLIT LIVERS BUT PURE HEARTS
THEY STRUGGLE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS
UNITY AND EQUALITY
TO COMBAT IMPERIALISM, TO FIGHT OPPRESSION

AGAINST THE UNSCRUPULOUS BEING, THE SOUL THIEF
THAT BURNS OUT AS A GAS CHAMBER
IN CLOTHES AND NAILS

AND IT BLOWS UP LIKE A VOLCANO!

A SHOT IN THE BACK AND AN EXPLOSION IN THE FACE
WALLS THAT WANT TO BURY JUSTICE UNDER DEPRAVED NUMBERS
THE REVOLUTION IS RIGHT PRESENT 
AND VISCERALLY TIMELESS
IN WARRIORS, FOR TRUTH AND LIBERATION
HONEST PEOPLE WHO WON THEIR FREEDOM IN THE PAST
AND WILL KEEP ON WINNING 

SO IN THE FUTURE

-

LACRIMOGENOUS GAS EXPANDING
AVOIDING SUPPORT TO THE WEAKEST
IN FRONT OF THE UNHAPPINESS AND THE OPPRESSED

PRESSURE ROCKETS BURNING 
THE CLEVERNESS OF THOSE WHO ARE RISING
EVERYONE, OF ALL COLORS

CUT HEADS WARNING BLOOD RIVERS
GETTING WET BY THE HOT RAIN
WAKE UP BEFORE DYING LIKE A DOG

HOPE IS BORN WHEN THE FIRST APPLE FALLS DOWN
FROM THE HANGED TREE

NO LONELINESS, FENCES NOR CANNONS
WILL BE ABLE TO DEVASTATE
THE INCREDIBLE HEART OF FREEDOM

THE BEAST MARKED BY CARBON AND BOMBS
BY THE GREED OF THE BLIND
AND THE ONE-EYED PERSON

GUNS OF JUSTICE BURIED
IN A WELL OF VIOLENCE AND TRICKS
A VILE SENTENCE

AT POINT-BLANK RANGE
THE FIGHT OF WOMEN AND MEN
IN THIS LAND

- 

SHE'S A POET
SHE'S A REVOLUTIONARY
SHE'S A BLACK MAMA
SHE'S A BLACK BLACK MAMA

SHE'S A POET
SHE'S A REVOLUTIONARY
SHE'S A BLACK MAMA
SHE'S A BLACK BLACK MAMA
