| You A ArmChair Revolutionary Kamal Supreme c June 11, 2003 Yo, you talk a good one everytime I come through, but the real question is WHAT U GONNA DO??? You A Armchair Revolutionary! You a Garveyite and never been to Africa. A Double Muslim and never been to Mecca. A disciple of King and never waged a boycott. Never went to a rally when one of our folks got shot by the cops. Never told a young cat to stop selling rocks. You just blah blah blah! Talking about everything under the sun moon and stars. Grew some dreads and talk about Jah. Shaved your head and talk about Allah. Got hit with some curveballs in life and turned to Christ. Wen’t pentacostal and started talking Voodoo. You too through. Yo, you talk a good one everytime I come through, but the real question is WHAT U GONNA DO??? You A Armchair Revolutionary. You talk about Mumia and forgot about H Rap Brown. And all the other political prisoners on lock down. You talk about the motherplane and acid rain and extraterrestrials and how we celestials but forgot about Amadou getting shot in the vestabull. You always talking shit you thought nobody else knew. I peeped the speculation section at Barnes and Nobles. Coming with Farrakhan and Dr. York. While swining and dining with pork on your fork. You complain about the Hispanic population escalating and nobody cares about us, and what people think about us, and why they move away from us. It makes me wonder in whose god you trust. See You talk a good one every time I come through, but the real question is WHAT U GONNA DO??? You a Armchair Revolutionary. You talk about the Arabs and Africans and Europeans and how they enslaved the Nubians and brought us over here. Our culture was robbed and because of them now we ain’t got no jobs. And the little people in the shops looking up at us from 4 foot 2 like we gonna steal something from there store. And how we shouldn’t buy from them no more, an how the man made aids so we can’t hit chicks raw. How Ascroft took away our civil laws and rights and how come black folk to scared to fight. Yo, you talk a good one every time I come through, but the real question is WHAT U GONNA DO? You A Armchair Revolutionary. And then you talk about the kids. You call em generation crack. And why they wear there paints like that? With them rags on they heads and you never took the time to talk to one of them. But you consider them… trifling niggers that would rather pull triggers on each other Than join the revolution that only seems to exist… in your head. You mad at everybody from lightskin to multiracial to bousougie And aint nobody thinking about you pa! You mad at sisters that crossed over, lesbians, gays, Politicians, the elephant and the donkey. While you sit in front of the TV with the remote like a brass monkey, flunkie or crack junkie like a black Archie Bunker, talking about the honkey. Yo, you talk a good one every time I come through, but the real question is WHAT U GONNA DO? You A Armchair Revolutionary! You ain’t no pimp By Kamal Imani © 2004 You ain’t no pimp! Rolling on dubs, rocking fur coats and ice while livin in your mamas basement And speakin of yo mama How would you like it if I said I was pimpin her… braa? Oh no, I heard ya flow. Your not the black gotti or soprano And why would you wanna be italiano? An why you call your place a crib? I thought that’s where shitty ass babies live? You aint no pimp! Duckin yo babies mamas child support And your ride or die chicks rent. Selling drugs but asking me for a $20.dollar loan! Yo dog, I worked hard for my bone. For a pimp you got some bad ass luck. You must be smoking your own product. Your conduct will only get you in the penitentiary Or the cemetery But you gonna get rich or die trying While you should be tryin to get a degree or learn a trade And then just like your public defendant, lawyer and bail bondsmen you too can get paid. You aint no pimp! How could you pimp your sistas anyway? Sisters why do you buy their CD’s and let them talk about you that way? Black folk gotta go to the next level. And let the pimps know what we will do to these devils. Damn, yall don’t understand. Why you wann be a pimp? When a pimp aint even a MAN? You aint no pimp! |
Ms. Melanin By Kamal Imani © 1992-2004 Black like Alec Wek Exotic like Grace Jones Ethereal like African Ancestral Slave Bones Like Maat on her throne When you was little they used to laugh at your skin tone But I begged their pardons and scopped you up like chocolate ice cream from Baskin Robbins So I’m fortunate to have you girl And I love to come…into your black world Your black hole of soul To ascend with you to heaven is my ultimate goal I love the way we unfold through life The way in the midst of hell You create a paradise They all said you was mean, but I knew I’d fine the nice Brown sugar and jerk spice You my dumplins on my beans and rice For you I’ll make that sacrifice Let’s chill Let’s settle down We don’t have to go mainstream we can keep it underground It’s up to you You’re my heaven I love you Ms. Melanin! You’re my buga bu My champion without competition Victorious without an opponent You’re the top muse on the catwalk that I come out for my standing ovation too You’re the president of my corporation the queen of my projects The sister soldier of sex You’re my wifey like next You’re my ideal For you I’ll keep it real I’ll be your baby face cause you got that whip appeal You’re my sugarpuss My honeysuckle My gingerspice My hot sauce on those beans and rice You’re my first love cause I forgot all the rest You’re my lady and my baby…sister you’re the best You’re my staunch defender, you always got my back And baby you got back! You taste like beef ribs You taste like beef ribs with hot sauce And you paid the cost to be the boss But we’ll share this throne I love the way you make my shower sing and my bed moan And you don’t have to worry I’ll never leave you alone You’re my best friend to the end I love you! Ms.Melanin Hip Hop & Spoken Word Fusion! |
