COMPENSATED EMANCIPATION

Why am I here?

Why am i here?

Why am I here reading this I paid to be here blood money out of cotton pants

Made myself a ship out of Andrew Jacksons

A hundred (?)

At any moment

At any moment the Queen should be coming around

Coming around at any moment the Queen will be coming around

Coming around coming around at any moment the Queen will be coming around

Coming around the Tilbury docks, coming around

Coming around black bully hill

Coming around to tell me how whiteness bridges the geographical

How it bridges continental boundaries with handshakes and I.O.U.s

At any moment the Queen, shall be coming around

At any moment the Queen shall bе coming around wearing more jewеllery to tell me about the fact of blackness

And how anti-blackness has colonised the domains of truth Every domain, every property of the queen

So when I say the truth won't do you no good here

You will understand the hostile environment of breathing, walking talking, dreaming against the law

At any moment they'll be coming around, coming around

At any moment they'll be coming around, coming around

Tories, the Liberals, the Conservatives, the Republicans, the Democrats

At any moment

At any moment they'll be coming around to deliver another blow, choking

Choking

Choking, choking, choking

At any moment they'll be coming around to deliver another blow, choking

Choking in the house of life and death and deeds

Choking

Choking

Choking in the house of Lords and reptiles

Choking

Choking

At any moment they'll be coming around

They'll be coming around, they'll be coming around, they'll be coming around

To deliver another blow choking, choking, choking, choking

Choking
