Mind control

Mind Control, mind control

Mind control, mind control 

I have been lying to myself 

For many of lifetimes

I have forgotten for a moment 

About from where the light shines 

I have been lied to by my opressors

They are the ones that brainwashed me 

And forced me to lie to myself 

Ofcourse my elders have been lied to as well

So I really can’t trust in all that they say 

But I do know to love them anyway 

And that is hard

Lies are like a poison

That is passed around our community 

Like a man made plaque 

There’s so much of tearing each other down

With comparison, competition

And lust, jealousy, greed 

As we proceed to live in our lower chakras

Surviving in ego 

I am grateful that the most high Yahweh 

Has resurrected my soul from the sunken place

So that I can soar in the sky like and eagle 

I know who I am, I remember 

I am the aboriginal blackwomban goddess 

That has been here since the beginning of time 

I have walked this land forever

There is nothing new under the sun

I am still suffering today From the suppressed memory 

Of being sexually assaulted

Abused, tortured, mutilated

Massacred, experimented on and obliterated

Time and time again

I have walked this land forever

There ain’t nothing new under the sun

And when my body is laid to rest

My soul shall return to my mothers bosom

In the ocean

Spread my ashes

In the sea of the diaspora 

See they lied to you

When they told you that you have no worth

And then they turned around and robbed you

Of that same exact worth that they

Convinced you wasn’t worth nothing

Manipulation at its finest

Black man Black Woman

You are king and queen 

Mother and father

To civilization

But the oppressor got us like

Lets hate ourselves and eachother 

But praise the one that

Forced us to our knees

Got us begging please

Massa accept us

Treating eachother like animals 

Animals treat eachother better

Than we do

Turning on eachother like enemies

Talk about confusion

And since we are the parents of all

They following our lead

Just a bunch of fake savage ass peaople

Walking around

With their hearts closed

Hurting and betraying one another

Stabbing eachother in the back

When all we really want to do and be 

Is love and accepted

I don’t take my complaints to man

I take them to Yahweh

Because misery loves company

And I am seeking for solutions

I receive my wisdom 

from the most high Jah

Im not interested in sitting around and complaining 

I’m about that action

Gratitude is the attitude

Love heals my broken heart

There’s a solution to every problem 

And if your mind can create one

It can surely create the other

I could free many more of my people 

From slavery

If only they knew that they were slaves 

Complacent with mediocrity

Truth be told the only person that is going to save me 

Is already dwelling inside of me

No outside source is coming to save you

The journey is within 

None but yourself can save your own mind

Death to the narcissist 

I am the captain of this ship

Don’t nobody run this shit but me

You see?

And I say this next line proudly

Very proudly

Fuck your government

PEACE
