Haile Selassie |
Haile Selassie |
High as the eye of an osprey |
I’m driving |
Poseidon you tried to stop me, from diving |
Lookin' for my |
Lookin' for my |
Lookin' for my |
As I float |
Brand new shell for my goals |
Tattoos all on my coast |
Throughout history |
It has been the inaction of those who could have acted |
The indifference of those who should have known better |
The silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most |
This, has made it possible for evil to triumph |
Selassie |
Man’s limitation, transfiguration |
I can dance done at the welcome to the demo |
Modern man comes to the weddin' in the limo |
Mixin' doves with the rice rain |
Uncle Ben’s off the rails on the night train |
And that storm took us to the platform, pushas |
Back to the bachelor’s backdoor, unhook us |
Hope this track take you back to where the fat girl pushed us |
And that’s very old like Blackberry Bold but the Juice |
Sweeter than where the party at, or |
Releasing these niggas from the roofs, and |
Leavin' these niggas on the loose, or |
Keepin' these niggas in the coupes, and |
Leavin' these niggas on the noose, |
Free… Shamu fan, got a world to see! |
Then until the philosophy which holds one race superior |
And another inferior |
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned |
That until there no longer |
First class and second class citizens of any nation |
That until the color of the man’s skin |
Is no more significant than the color of his eyes |
Selassie |
To the limit |
The limit in the Methadone clinic |
Ridin' with the pack like a Pelitan |
Flyin' with the sack in the trap like the pregnant |
As it breaks in the backs from the cracks that we step upon |
If I triple my worth, will it cripple my mom? |
If I simple my search, will it mental my calm? |
Will it hurt if I give you my palm? |
To tell in it and don’t put a nail in it |
How you gonna see the world if you wailin' |
And readin' my palms like there’s braille in it |
Is it the trail or the forest? |
Or the forest with the trail in it? |
That’s a sail with a 12 in it |
Water coming through from impalin' it |
Nothin' left of the boat but my holes |
Still I fill up the world and I float, like |
A qualified man with vision |
Unmoved by daily selfish interests |
Led to right decisions by his conscience |
In general, a man who knows from whence he comes |
And where he’s going |
Will cooperate with his fellow human beings |
He will not be satisfied with merely doing his ordinary duties |
But will inspire others by his good example |
You are being watched by the nation |
And you should realize |
That you, will satisfy it if you do good |
But on the contrary, you do evil, it will lose it’s hope and confidence in you |
Selassie |
H-h-h-hydrant open wide |
On the side of the colonized |
Swimmin' in the street, fell asleep on my mama thighs |
Blockin' out the noise that destroys lil' boys |
Live enjoy, ships ahoy, get deployed by the rock-a-byes |
D-d-d-deep into the sea of my dreams |
Lyin' fall asleep at the feet of my queen |
Hawk comin' right to the beat of your wings |
Song for the Ethiopian King |
Haile |
