Tekst Utworu

Whereas breakbeats have been the missing link

Connecting the diaspora community to its drum-woven past

Whereas the quantized drum has allowed the whirling mathematicians

To calculate the ever-changing distance between rock and stardom

Whereas the velocity of spinning vinyl crossfaded, spun backwards

And re-released at the same given moment of recorded history

Yet at a different moment in time's continuum

Has allowed history to catch up with the present

We do hereby declare reality unkept

By the changing standards of dialogue

Statements such as "keep it real"

Especially when punctuating or anticipating modes of ultra-violence

Inflicted psychologically or physically

Or depicting an unchanging rule of events

Will henceforth be seen as retroactive and not representative

Of the individually determined is

Furthermore, as determined by the collective consciousness

Of this state of being and the lessened distance

Between thought patterns and their secular manifestations

The role of men as listening receptacles is to be increased

By a number no less than seventy percent

Of the current enlisted as vocal aggressors

Motherfuckers better realize, now is the time to self-actualize

We have found evidence that hip-hop's standard eighty-five RPM

When increased by a number of at least half the rate of its standard

Or decreased to three-quarters of its speed

May be a determining factor in heightening consciousness

Studies show that when a given norm is

Changed in the face of the unchanging

The remaining contradictions will parallel the truth

Equate rhyme with reason, sun with season

Our cyclical relationship to phenomenon has encouraged scholars

To erase the centers of periods

Thus symbolizing the non-linear character of cause and effect

Reject mediocrity

Your current frequencies of understanding outweigh

That which has been given for you to understand

The current standard is the equivalent of an adolescent

Restricted to the diet of an infant

The rapidly changing body would acquire dysfunctional

And deformative symptoms

And could not properly mature on a

Diet of applesauce and crushed pears

Light years are interchangeable with years of living in darkness

The role of darkness is not to be seen as or equated with ignorance

But with the unknown and the mysteries of the unseen

Thus, in the name of Robeson, Godson, Hurston

Akhenaten, Hatshepsut, Blackfoot, Helen

Lennon, Kahlo, Kali, the three Marias

Tara, Lilith, Lord, Ripon, Baldwin

Ginsberg, Hoffman, Lumumba, Gandhi

Gibran, Shabazz, Shabazz, Siddhartha

Medusa, Guevara, Gerges, Rand

Wright, Banneker, Tubman, Hamer

Holiday, Davis, Coltrane, Morrison

Joplin, Du Bois, Clarke, Shakespeare

Rachmaninoff, Ellington, Carter

Gay, Hathaway, Hendrix, Kool T

Dickerson, Ripperton, Mary

Isis, Teresa, Hansberry, Tesla

Plath, Rumi, Bellini, Michaux

Nostradamus, Nefertiti, LaRock

Shiva, Ganesha, Yemaya

Oshun, Obatala, Ogun

Kennedy, King, four little girls

Hiroshima, Nagasaki

Kala, Biko, Perón

Maudie, Magdalene, Cosby

Shakur, those who burned

Those still aflame and the countless unnamed

We claim the present as the present as the hereafter

We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun

We are not afraid of the darkness

We trust that the moon shall guide us

We are determining the future at this very moment

We know that the heart is the philosopher's stone

Our music is our alchemy

We stand as the manifested equivalent of three buckets of water

And a handful of minerals

Thus realizing that those very buckets turned upside down

Supply the percussive factor of forever

If you must count to keep the beat, then count

Find your mantra and awaken your subconscious

Draw your circles counterclockwise

Use your cipher to decipher coded language, man-made laws

Climb waterfalls and trees

Commune with nature, snakes and bees

Let your children name themselves and claim themselves

As the new day for today

We are determined to be the channelers

Of these changing frequencies into songs

Painting, writing, dance, drama

Photography, carpentry, crafts

Love and love

We enlist every instrument, acoustic, electronic

Every so-called gender, race, sexual preference

Every per-son as beings of sound

To acknowledge their responsibility

To uplift the consciousness of the entire fucking world

Any utterance unaimed will be disclaimed

Will be maimed, two rappers slain

Any utterance unaimed will be disclaimed

Will be maimed, two rappers slain
