He slid high roun' the corner
probably had just hit that crack
when bruhboy spotted me that night
and sped up in his tracks...

"Mmmm, gon' git dis heah gold
Gon' jack all dat cash
And when i'm thu get'n
Gon' snatch dat phat a**"

He displayed the gun proudly
and in my Africentric head
drums drummed hard- pounding loudly
It happened so slo- mo fast
Okay, okay... now where was this covered
in Amos Wilson's class?

I couldn't speak but
I saw in his eyes
Deep self and group hate
****!!!... he believes Yurugu's lies
Oh! the brain screamed- I'm your sister,
I'm the one you must protect!
But since Maafa's rein...

So many civilizations and minds
have been vampiristically wrecked
Our Ancestors and
the global deeply melanated family
have all fallen prey
to the mutant's depravity

Since he and she awoke
and poured out of the icebox
too many of our family
have had their souls and minds Pavlovian locked

Yes, he got the gold
But body and soul remained intact
Ancestral guidance walked me into
the middle of the street
Never to look back

No shots rang out
No blood was spilled
He just went away...
And I'm standing still

Clear-minded and focused
as Armah told in "2000 Seasons" ...pray
Springwater flowing in
Return to our WAY.
