    VERILY..VERILY..VERILY (a call 2 unite BLACK MEN)

    One 2 one 2..one 2 one 2..one..2...one..2
    Is the mic on?
    Okay...

    Verily...verily..verily
    I say 2 thee
    Come round
    2
    The Lounge
    And join the party
    BLACK MEN UNITED
    In our destiny
    No slights
    No fights
    No acrimony
    Slice the ropes
    Jealousy
    Yes we are free
    2 destroy
    Of restore
    Our community
    Enuf space is available
    No
    Need 2 pee
    Pon the wretched earth
    Where I
    Plant my tree
    No need 2 revolt
    We're all revolutionary
    Exposing minds
    2 the
    Prime
    Black aristocracy
    A king 2 U
    U a king 2 me
    Our purpose
    2 produce
    A Black decree
    Respect given
    Respect due
    The way it should be
    We are cut
    From a different
    Vibe
    The pride
    Inside
    We can
    All surmise
    No need 4 subterfuge
    No clandestine
    Suprise
    Don't fire
    Till we higher
    In our ladies
    Eyes
    Can't catch the wind
    Fighting over
    The prize
    Ain't no better
    Or who is best
    Black man grow old
    Surviving the test
    We all got stigmata
    Pon we chest
    Fighting the
    Hype
    Of stereotype
    2 abreast


    Verily...verily..verily
    I say 2 my brothers
    Ain't about love
    We MUST
    Respect each other
    What one man don't have
    Another can give
    No more crabs in the barrell
    We all can live
    We all know
    The pot is hot
    Water boiling
    With brothers shot
    Walking 2 party
    Gettin frisked by cops
    The Brother
    Who shot Huey Newton
    Was selling rock
    No need 2 pose
    We all got
    C--KS
    Some got a little
    Some got
    A lot
    But it ain't what ya got
    It's how U flow
    Ask any woman
    Man
    They all know
    The glide
    In your
    Stride
    Is what attracts
    Not your arrogance
    Or Ur worthless
    Artifacts
    I ain't tryin
    2 be Che Geuvara
    In Bolivia
    Or die pon a mountain
    Of hatred
    From hypothermia
    We all have. Love
    4 the diaspora
    So let's stop
    All the intercine
    Intifada
    I got plenty P-SS
    In me bladda
    But I won't
    Pee
    Or Ur
    Tree
    Or use Ur back 4
    A ladda
    Just chill
    Swill
    Beer
    And eat fried fish platta


    Verily...verily..verily
    Brother
    I respect you
    So let's gain the appreciation
    Of Mel, jill, Brenda, Wize, Jaz, hot69 and Sister 2
    2Senuf
    But envy
    Make a crowd
    Let's be
    Black
    Men
    United
    And shout
    It loud
    So our forefathers
    Can hear we spit
    From the grave
    Brother
    The man U protect
    Is one who will save
    Ya A--S
    When the white man
    Catch ya smokin grass
    Don't mean 2 be
    Rude or be crass
    But the Brothers in Lounge
    Could teach a Black History Class
    All voices in our Collective
    Could reach even higher
    But ain't no lead singers
    In this
    Black Man Chior
    Situation is critical
    Somewhat dire
    I want 2 know the meaning
    Of Brotherly Love
    Before I expire
    So take thse words
    From Ur Brotha D'ee
    And remember that
    If ya don't stab me in mine

    I GOT UR BACK!
