auset speaks: master plan (a kweli inspiration)

MASTER PLAN
(inspired by Talib Kweli)

across the globe

my people know

the suffering of struggle

our generation is a continuation

of slow progression

our nation is hungry for liberation

and we have only begun to fight.

ONE MIND

ONE LOVE

ONE ACTION

ONE GOD

blessing us with the miracle

of one movement

our foot soldiers are brave warriors

willing to die for the cause

of Black People rising towards sovereignty.

we are an army of resistance

keeping blindness at a distance

and Self-determination consistent

as we sing redemption songs

to our Ancestors drums

feeling the Nubia/Kush/Khamit spirit

pulsating through the universe

the beautiful blood of the Motherland

coursing through our veins

MY PEOPLE RISE

to cultivate the strength of the Original Man

resting deep in our core

we've fought the battle/lets conquer the war

conjure the fortitude of our ancient family

keeping their humanity through

The Middle Passage

Jim Crow

Nonstop Police Brutality

and cease our children being raised in slave mentality.

AFRIKA CRIES OUT

and as Her child born away from home

I'm ready to shout my battlecry

We all must be a footprint in the sand

Every single Black child woman and man

Grab a hold of each other/take a soul by the hand

We're marching into Zion

With Freedom as our master plan.

ASE.
