Battlecries

Savage… [Verse 1] Savage language I languish amongst strangers Reprimanded behavior Championed by those I deem saviors Sustained by the refrains of Coltrane Find solace in phrases exhaled by Ian Curtis Only hope to travel further Young Black males murdered at unforgivable rates As I state my musical preference Assemble each sentence with meticulous precision The world I envision may never come to fruition but listen This path has allowed me to subsist in parallel dimensions Harmonics resonate at bases levels Prepared to battle these racist devils [Chorus] Recite the battlecries of Leroi Jones We agonize over the unknown I need a microphone [Verse 2] Cognitive of what history tells us Not interested in what these airwaves sell us There is a Jackie Wilson for every Elvis Don’t need religion to know what Hell is And Heaven ain’t interstellar I once found Eden Downing deuces in a dark cellar Angelic demons of cypher 20 plus in, ain’t much brighter Our story’s been scribed by the Graff writer Eternal pathfinder Profound meaning lost until you remove last blinder [Verse 3] Whole understanding of sonics shifted in an instant Very few have bared witness to true potency of linguistics There is a vast difference between originators and mimics Substance versus gimmicks Those who might have heard Versus the ones who truly lived it! [Chorus] Recite the battlecries of Leroi Jones We agonize over the unknown I need a microphone
