Remembering George Jackson

Soledad whisper
Black Panther Sankofa song
rhythmic djembe drum

Thank you for the add request and for sharing the truth about what happen to Sean Bell. The oppressive weight of this society must be lifted from all people and the truth must be told. This is an evening in which my own rights were violated. I was busking in the subway after a Celtics game and before the crowd of people came I was forced to "shut it down" by the transit police. I hope you don't mind if i post the poetry that has gotten me kicked out of now two train stations, this time with the proper permits and breaking no laws other than speaking the truth.

THE LIGHTS (truth by Cap Tin)
Current mood: awake
Category: Writing and Poetry


Liven in the land of own your own hunger
Listen to the man who roam the loan wonder
Pacifist learn to pass on fisticuffs
Forget the bluffs clear your eyes you've been lied to
By a nation that ill buy and deprive you
Of you so called rights well here come the lights
Ask yourself this question the lesson part one
People shouldn't doubt my son

How can a man turn fifteen million into nine billion dollars?

Well! Here's some facts you won't hear on the radio
911's no joke so let me say it slow

"The controlled demolition of the world trade center complex was impart a cover up for the ENRON scandal"

Aw dam uncle sam you can't handle
spark'n a flame for the fame of twelve candles

Pacifist learn to pass on fisticuffs
Forget the bluffs clear your eyes you've been lied to
By a nation that ill buy and deny you
Of your freedom of choice
to chose to love one another
where all here cuz were from the same mother
Pump'n bar bells until my arm's swell
To shake with a firm grip let the perm rip
Cuz the day I flip that's.. total destruction
Bombs at the junction of cultural survival spirit revival
Now is the time take a look in your Bible
Or holy Koran the moment is on
Don't ever call me an average man I'm an African
Roots more blacker than their whole faction
Diggin for truth cuz its time to take action.

Pacifist learn to pass on fisticuffs
Forget the bluffs clear your eyes you've been blinded
By a tyrant who's criminal minded

Indigenous home land mulatto my motto … cuff the system
Got the preachers son for a drummer me sister she want a hummer gonna start a revolution do under with dumb n dumber right about now shinen the reason just love and rhym'n scream'n cuff the system

If you didn't know were the one that's gonna bring the walls down
Been around the world since we bailed from Paul's town
hell bound hell no were not goin society's the one that's gonna reap what its sow'n
say it loud now … cuff the system never bow down
Probably get shoot by the CIA but that's ok if they kill me ill come back as a martyr in a day scream'n cuff the system!

Cuff the system
This democracy's a mockery
Cuff the system
Cuff the system
This democracy's a mockery
Cuff the system
Cuff the system
This democracy's a mockery
Cuff the system

This democracy's a mockery I've seen the white devil inside me try n to rob me of my sanity I plan to be more than just a modern day slave in this land of the free stolen home of the brave.

What's free? For the man to tax me takes it out my check and he don't even ask me
cuz their try n to fund a war they need more weapons once the corps hits the shore there's no contest n Cuff bush both the old and the young for try n to do the middle east the way the west was won.

Got em Liven in the land of own your own hunger
Listen to the man who roam the loan wonder
Pacifist learn to pass on fisticuffs
Forget the bluffs clear your mind you were lied to
By a nation that ill buy and deprive you
Of you so called rights well here come the lights
Now get up stand up and join the fight…….

Loving what you're teaching!

Loving what you represent!

Continued blessings in all you do! Take care...
