lyrics

(seigfried)

male black citizen,
dont that make me a war crime
cos the fucking drugs
the white kids be scared of thugs
yet they dress like them and they wanna be us
fuck that shit he said nonplussed
times have changed and a race is just a construct
for building walls cos it ain’t freeing us
i raised my hand indignantly to those who passed
names be forgotten but the spirit still reside in me
feel the heart beat of forgotten nations speak from the pridelands of a home i might never see
a whole history got taken away from me in slave ships to plantations see
i believe the struggle and the pain still speak
with the jazz on repeat
davis, bechet and coltrane smile at me
i pictured reality
a look a like basquiat so no surprise the kid paint it differently
grew in a world were i see colour vividly cos the lack thereof meant few black kids ever stood beside me

so those melodies were important,
i sailed the litlle wing of a lead guitarist,
i dreamt of turiya with a beautiful harpist,

i,
learnt that water get no enemy
freed myself of colonial mentality
but mob convictions strengthened bad intentions
home restrictions meant mad adventures
and i lost myself
and i lost myself
