Elegy For John Trudell ft. Mic Crenshaw, Quincy Davis & Claudia Cuentas

lyrics

(John Trudell)
There's nothing wrong with us...
Except how we see or don't see
If we don't figure out something here and now...
We live in the right time and right place
To meet the need of the evolution
If we understand that, then we will be up to it and we will meet that need
Because we cannot control what's going to happen in the future
But how we use our individual and collective coherency
Will influence the evolutionary outcome
of what this reactionary, non-thinking, exploitive, manipulative beast has in mind
We cannot out fight them
There may be times to fight, but we cannot out fight them
Because they invented that kind of death
Through history, since they invented that kind of death
Every provocation has been to get us, at some point, to try to out fight them
And so to me, it's like no, in reality we've got to out think them
We're surrounded in a reality where you have to have permission to think
That's called chain of command
They don't have permission to think
Only a few get to think. See, this starts to equalize out the numbers
So if you really, really think about it, the guerrilla warrior of the future...
Is going to be the one that thinks

(Mic Crenshaw)
We peeped the allegory at the campfire listening
as elders shared the stories of the vampire's victims
how do I not make the same mistake? wisdom
generate the vision, obliterate the prison
molten lava, imminent terror
tight rope walking over the caldera
eras, ages, epochs and phases
instruments and gauges in incremental stages
it's clear who engineered the fear and doubt
more than ears to decipher what you hear about
zionist neurosis, scientific psychosis
explore the folklore, it’ll tell you that you chose this
exposed to the elements, fragile and delicate
so relevant development of agile intelligence
not practical or tactical to be on your back defenseless
capitol offenses actually prevents this
the instant telling me, common sense compelling me
self defense extensive, existence is a felony
how much of the predatory’s actually hereditary
represent the truth you carry, be an evolutionary

(Quincy Davis)
verbal alchemy when I'm spittin' these rhymes
vision to reality, shiftin in time
breaking through the lies of these prison bars
meditating in the hills trained my vision sharp
now my tactics guerrilla, take action wit principle
livin with a system where the prison is invisible
dehypnotize, reveal the schemes
who deal the fiends and seal the screams in the field of dreams
of the matrix, I’m blazin' mics, sendin’ rays of light
through the dark phase in this maze of life
see through eyes with the sacred sight
with the guidance of the spirit through the ancient rite
of passage ways to rise
how it's meant to be, from inside
realigned with my memory
activation, natural energy
earth people unite, to manifest with integrity
by way of life, represent 7G
see in my heart is the truth and remedy
to transform the pain, load up the clip
now I even got love for my enemies… bang

(Claudia Cuentas)
People are raising
Raising Everyday
Freedom in our voices
Clarity in our thoughts
Our Hearts are singing
Giving, Receiving
Commanding
The Earth is alive
The Earth is alive
The Earth is alive
She lives within us

(John Trudell)
So life was about responsibility
and the earth was the mother
So somewhere in each and every one of us there's a collective genetic memory
That goes way back to the beginning of the original dream, the beginning of our stories
And our relationship to power and reality is connected to us understanding that that is there
