| Like an epiphany, moment of clarity
|
| I was blind before, but now my eyes can see
|
| I know my destiny, I’m open mentally
|
| My spirit is ready, for the awakening
|
| The awakening
|
| Empty your mind of all thoughts
|
| Let your heart be at peace
|
| Returning to the source of serenity
|
| (Umar Bin Hassan)
|
| A courageous walk down the Mississippi road
|
| We live in the blues of the delta
|
| A good morning to your neighbor
|
| A good night to your dreams
|
| We are the song of survival
|
| A living song without lyrics or words
|
| A kind gesture, a wink of the eye
|
| A loving touch upon a child’s head
|
| A strong warm hug to keep away the doubt
|
| Grandma’s, grandma’s hands upon your face
|
| The wiping of the wavered tears
|
| Holding back the fizz
|
| In between in-between the shoe shines and the dish washing
|
| In between in-between the GED’s and PhD’s
|
| In between in-between the out-houses and crack-houses
|
| We, we create waves to live and love
|
| We live on the move
|
| Moving, moving forward through the bling bling
|
| The prison camps, the clothes castors and the hoes and bitches
|
| And the alcohol and Jesus all on the same corner
|
| We are the one and true living God
|
| All around us is life
|
| Our humanity, our humanity is the essence of life
|
| Our blood, our blood nurtures the soul
|
| Our humiliation and pain gives an expression
|
| Our ignorance gives vision
|
| To what’s like living contradictions, living paradoxes
|
| Living phenomenons, living just for the city
|
| For a smile, for a touch
|
| For hip-hop, for the glory of our ancestors
|
| And the blessings of our gods
|
| Peace |
