Hook- Xtra, xtra read all about it
I’m comin’ for your throne, you’re getting ousted
So give it up or you know that we can joust it
Xtra, xtra, I had to announce it. (x2)
Verse #1- Can’t describe how hard I would try if,
I was David staring at the eyes of goliath
I’d slay him, then fall back, a humble triumph
Sometimes it’s better to maintain silence
Other times, got to strike them with violence
Chop his leg off, rip an eye out, pirates.
Bloody tyrants, act like they care
Then generate a virus, starting with day care
Expect me to play fair when you have conspired
To fund, form and train the al-qaeda
Tell me I’m a liar, but these are your own folks
Look’em in the eyes ‘n tell’em it was homegrown
Nine eleven postpones, with no trial
And 300 million Americans in denial!
Hook (x2)
Verse #2- 1776 the Declaration!
Revolution! Liberation!
But for what? To Free us from taxation?
Or to move toward globalization?
My daughter’s young she don’t get that conspiracy
Or understand them big words, like tyranny
My girl puts forth the effort of an angel
Y’all would rather see us with horns instead of halos
Ask me to lay low when you have acquired
Money, drugs, ‘n power through Al-Qaeda?!
Xtra, Xtra! Shots have been fired!
Man down ‘n we’ll never know what transpired!
Media monarchs suppress the truth,
Technology now’a days suppressing youth!
Confessional booth, only on reality shows
To make us think that reality shows, so
Hook (x2)
Dear Mr. President, why are we are war?
Sometimes I feel like you don’t know anymore.
Look, I’m only asking questions
Like is the microchip just a political weapon?
Just checkin’, I read it before,
Delgado, congressional hearing of ‘74
Once more, why do you so desire
To lie to the public when it comes to Al-Qaeda?
Shouldn’t they know about the people who trained ’em
Not the people who framed ’em, the people who blamed ‘em
I have a daughter who deserves to grow
G.M.Os in her food ‘n she deserves to know!
‘N now I’m puttin’ you out there for closure
Admit it, this is political foreclosure!
Hook(x2)
Welcome to the may day feast, a pagan celebration;
Place your wreath in the east among the decorations.
…Observe the demonstration
Given by the priestess who teaches the education.
Elevation of energy which is spiritual
Acknowledged by, recitation of which is lyrical…
Call it a miracle, I call it magick
Philosophical teachings of Laurie Cabot.
We practice, under moon light, thru pitch blackness;
Nocturnal like bats, yet, the fact is –
They still hate & call us half witts
Gather ‘round the circle ‘n the celebrate the sabbats.
Bless the salt.. bless the water,
Mix ‘em both together then consecrate the altar;
This is now sacred space!
Circles & squares become sacred shapes!
Hook –
As above/So below, as with-in/so with-out
Positive manifestation will cure doubt
When the crops don’t grow; the rain has a drought
Cast energy thru spells ‘n watch ’em all sprout
Take a second to listen – ya’ 3rd eye has the vision;
I’ve been to Egypt ‘n back, still sittin’ in prison.
I never knew I could dictate my own destiny
Till I relinquished my weaponry, you getting’ me?
Lets take a walk down a road less travelled on
Decypher the scrypts out the crypts back in Babylon
…I’m a mastodon!
Knockin’ down trees with my knees walkin’ thru the mist of Avalon
You’re a padawan, I’m a Jedi master
Dark side tried to capture, ended in disaster
Only after rapture you’ll find greener pasture
Decorated with vases made of alabaster.
How does one compose an elegy
For the loss which he has yet
To GRIEVE?
See, she was born
October 3rd, 1972
(Too) young to LEAVE!
I, couldn’t believe it, the way I was told
Like, “She was barely 50 years old!”
Zoned out, lookin’ up at the sky I thought.
“WHY?”
I NEVER had a chance to say, “Good-Bye”
How many years passed now?
Goin’ on 5!
But the blow has yet to be softened in my
MIND…
…Even writing this right now, I’m starting
To cry
…But refuse to wipe my eyes dry!
I’d rather let my tear drops drip…
‘N dot these “i’s”
Maybe I am not ready for this at this
TIME…

Where were you when the towers had fallen?
Spreading debris like a flower does pollen.
I was in school, 2nd period class;
3 states away & could still feel the crash!
Our teachers had ushered us into the gym.
It was obvious life was about to turn grim!
They wheeled in a cart w/ a television set;
What we watched on that day I will
NEVER FORGET!
One by one they all took the stand,
Swearing to tell but the truth.
Word by word, gestured by hand,
Lies had escaped from their tooth.
The towns people drank it,
Like tea from a kettle
Branding us demons and devil
My life they would take it,
Their god hath forsake it…
I guess that’s the death of a rebel!
Tarode, tarode an ode to my tarot
Spreading my metaphorical wings like a sparrow
Depictions of ancient Egyptians; the pharaohs
Resonating deep in my bones like marrow
When I struggle to navigate this ocean
You are the beacon guiding my emotions
I, drink you in like medicine or a potion
And solemnly swear to honor your devotion.
Like a telescope examining the open night sky
I, notice something waving at the side of my eye
When I focus, however, all I see is darkness
Dreary & empty, cold as the arctic.
“Hello? Are you there? Where’d you go?”
From hot summer nights to the 1st fall of snow;
“A’yo, I can sense you. Reveal who you are!
Shine like you did amidst the brightest of stars.”
Darkness, infinite voidness of colors
Maniacally laughing at me just like the others
Why? Why have you ignored all my cries?
Casting your curse, making truth out of lies.
I beg you enlighten me, prove your existence
It’s clear to me you’ve already proven persistence
But now I am old & I feel like I’m dying
Searching the open night sky while I’m crying.
Poetry is empathy conveyed thru words
Other formats lie, poetry is true words
For example: look at the way they do it
Disrespecting the culture w/ poo-poo words
Taking up too much real estate on paper
Kidnapping paragraphs ww/ less than few words
At one point in my life I struggled to speak
Not to speak literally, like, I KNEW words
I just found it difficult to express how
I was feeling till I learned new words
A vocabulary is important y’all
Patriotic even – red, white & blue words
So before you dismiss all of this as whack
Give poetry a chance ‘n try to do words
When you succeed you can say, “Thanks,
For teaching me all those new ways to
USE WORDS!”
