Thatch And Blood:in Earth’s Defense

WE WAS WOVE TOGETHER
SO LONG AGO
WHEN GREEN WAS A REALITY
WOVE TOGETHER
TOUGH TIED
WITH THE THATCH OF OUR BLOOD
TO SUSTAIN A LIBRARY
OF ANSWERS TO SHARE

AND FOR MUCH LATER ON

TO BE UP IN A STRANGE PLACE
AND LOOKED UPON WITH CRIMINAL INTENT
FOR CENTURIES AT A TIME
WE ARE LEFT WITH NOTHING TO LOSE

NO REP
NO ROYALTY

NO PURSUANCE
NO IRON

ONLY A SYSTEM OF ENVY
KNIFING THE HEART OF INDEPENDENT STUDY

CREATING SHAMELESS DIVERSIONS FOR
THE RECLAIMATION OF A SOUL

MAKING STRANGE THE NEW BLACK

WHILE OUR ELDERS ARE IN CHAINS

GETTING WORRIED BOUT THAT LIL' EXTRA
IS KILLING THE SOUL OF HUMANITY

I HAVE EXPENSIVE TASTE TOO

SITTING UP HERE CRAVING A REVOLUTION

I'M INTO REMEDY

INTO SELF DEFENSE



(EVEN IN A LAND WHERE THOSE WHO HAVE GONE FAR BEYOND THEMSELVES
TO SHARE A LIBRARY'S WORTH OF ANSWERS
ARE LOCKED UP ONE CENTURY AT A TIME)


WE ARE LOSING OUR PLANET

SHE FALLING OUT OF LOVE WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING TO US

USED TO PUT FRUIT WHEREVER OUR HEADS HAD LAID

PUT DOWN THERE SOME ORES MIRRORING GALAXIES FROM AFAR
WHEREVER GREAT INVENTORS DID DREAM

THE NEW STRANGE TURNED THIS WORLD TO A PLANTATION

TEACHING SEVEN GENERATIONS TO TAKE AND BE UNSATISTFIED

BABA KONKACHILA:

YOUR ARTWORK HAS BEEN ABUSED

MEND HER SO THAT SHE MAY PROSPER

IN MAGNIFYING YOUR WAY

FOR WE HAVE LOST OURS FOR SO LONG




JAH

SO LONG AGO
