La La Lies

The hardest job of being a poet is to agitate the masses

especially when the masses would rather be lulled deeper into sleep

So here is something you can't understand

how your money hungry leaders could just kill a man

Here is something you can't understand

how your money hungry leaders could just kill a man

That was the chant at the Malcolm X festival

when some man in a Marcus Garvey costume tried to sell me a Free Huey T-shirt

And in protest,

I handcuffed him to a white woman with a Martha Stewart head wrap and Dashiki on

and she had the nerve to ask me in Swahilli to kick a poem

So i grabbed the microphone and said,

 Check One!

So i grabbed the microphone and said:

Check One!

One day in 1948 every man, woman and child in Palestine

woke up wondering why the rest of the world was suddenly calling the best parts of their country Israel

But that was too real so they shut my mic down

The festival was a non profit event funded by the IMF and my level of truth bought them way outside of compliance so i decided to project my voice and become even more defiant

And i said,

Amiri Baraka once told me if you want to catch the truth

then you got to follow the money

So here we go, here we go here it come, here it come

here it come come

Which father and son gained the most off of 9-1-1

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled

was to convince his own people that he wouldn't be willing to kill'em for 40 billion

Even though it's well known
that the father's CIA illegally financed the amputation of thousands of Angolan children

Even though it's well known that the father's sloppy ass Gulf War

murdered ten of thousands of Iraqi civilians

Even though it's well known that the father's defense investment firm

had its initial public offering right after we loss our loved ones in them two buildings

But when the poet tells the truth then the poet becomes the villain

High dosages of reality fuck up your feelings

But since i want change, even with a gun to my head my motto remains the same

Until we have truth, how the hell will we ever have true healing?

President lies, FBI covers up media spin the story 'til you don't give a fuck

If the poets only please the crowd, then the masses wax corrupt

LaLa La La LaLaLa Lies!
