'old Skull Beats' by timibofa1: 9:19am On Oct 11, 2016 |
“Old school beats” PART 1 Yesterday I enjoyed the tunes The tunes of sacrifice The tunes of struggle The melodious tunes of solidarity, The tunes of aluta… What a sudden change? Now I hear them speak in new tongues The tongues Of self Of I Of oppression Of betrayal See the drums vomit blood! I hear the drums groan I hear them speak in Hebrew, Chinese, Greek, and Pakistan as barbarians Where comes these languages? How did they infiltrate into our culture? Where are the custodians The polyglots, The scientist, The sociologist, Can we get some interpretation? Oh! I Hear the tunes of Self Betrayal Thuggery Assassination Sycophancy been Sung Not Izon Oh! I wish I can still hear The beats of ken delivered The chants of falana and kimathi echoed to my hearings See the vocalists! Who compose for us songs of the strange man! Who have change the tunes of our drums |
