Fabricated canopies; no soul; serve to oppress

Communities of one; Lowery shapes; shuffle streets

Congestion of souls; IGNORED; nobody will bless

Creating walls of silence; barriers; isolation completes

 

Its silence no words; no words; a total brick wall

All our son’s and daughters; shot down; just die

Sit them on the wall; BOOM; you watch ‘em fall

They’re   broken eggshells; Why you livin’ the lie

 

Disin culture; shamin roots; I’m still your brother

Be proud; respect yourself; you are who you are

Get beneath the ground; ROOTS; same as any other

Celebrate your community; now; invite a neighbour

 

Rivers of blood; look at it; its blockin up the gutter

Flesh dropin; its eating away; a maggot infection

Step up to the plate; SPEAK; truth you must utter

Listen to my message; hear me; culture integration

 

Raise the blockade; say the word; now build that bridge

Be a teacher; be pupil; don’t matter your colour or creed

It’s a people war; ENGAGE; peace flow over that ridge

Be there for each other; unite my brother; plant that seed

 

You have the power; don’t ask; make that right choice

Blow it away; remove that shadow; stop all the killin

Join our culture; SING; become one; strong with one voice

Workin to our choice; we’re human beings were ‘Cultural Jamin’
