A sudden absolutely drastic change engaged,
by minds entombed in times behind their mind's page,
oppression, depression, recession,dissention,
by pretension equals minority ascension
ahead of your times and chasing da truth huh
then do like Martin Luther...,
and have a dream, a start, the cream for upstarts,
the way to pause ills and get laws enact,
in fact I'm a be-ing, from the Caribb-ean,
familiar with da flee-ing, da history dat we in,
full of Europ-eans, enslaving and hurr-ying,
from their continent, for gold dat dey not see-ing,
years upon years we lived in their world,
they denied us knowledge but some understood,
that freedom is da need, the right like air to breathe,
and Toussaint plant the seed, dat sprung numerous trees,
from Haiti I am not, but in fact I'm Trini-born,
the land dat brought steel-band and carnival,
but from under rule we thundered out as soon,
as we weren't useful to be used as tools,
cool and now a lot, is stuck in a rut,
music, games, art, movies and such,
in America black movies are banished to genres,
thank God Will Smith still owns the summer,
games get fame for nameless re-producers,
while rap like rats follows the pied pipe producers
reducers reducing to common denominators,
and when Justin called it pop he had much haters?
the fake operate and keep the real in chains,
real setting for a revoluting, smells all da same,
the skillful ones, thoughfull ill ones,
willful ones with lyrics to still ones,
underground ones dat blank out da drones,
existing in the Neo-zone to eliminate da Smiths,
all da clones should beware, whatever their area,
the island isn't real and the revolution's here.
