They're covering the truth to cover up their tracks
Deceiving the troops
They send them to Iraq
Twenty one gun salutes
That's what their mother gets back
We don't receive no counseling
But pay cancel tax
No?refurbishments
In?them?council flats
The steps?are like the?public toilet
No cleaner for that
Infested with rats
Prevented instead of curing that
So th?y invest in the trap
They focus on th? peas instead
Then the vermin starts to spread
And multiply
And their diseases spread
Like poltergeist
And history said
"It's the same as Ebola, right?"
It repeats itself
Now they say it's the corona right?
The lies they spread
Momma made me
Tall baby
Out the guts of slavery
Grits and gravy
Shackle babies
Don't touch me
Arms crossed, back against the wall, I heard it all
Bob and weave
They're selling trees
Jungle bunny, grease monkey lean from poppy trees
There they sing to me
Hang another melody
Around their throat so I can watch them choke go up in smoke
Watch them choke go up in smoke
I know the way
It won't go away
I cannot lose
I got the tools
I know the rules
I got the clues
I cannot lose
I've felt the blues
I know the moves
Up on the roof
Let God watch me move
I know the way
If I may
Will not be contained
I remain
I'm only brain
Memory of the pain
Up on the roof
I'm calling your name
I'm calling your name
The lyrics RACE FUNCTION LIMITED of MOOR MOTHER is also present in the album Black encyclopedia of the air (2021)
Moor Mother, pseudonimo di Camae Ayewa, è una poetessa, musicista e attivista statunitense nata nel 1986. Il suo stile afrofuturista fonde spoken word, poesia, jazz e rap, creando un'esperienza sonora unica che esplora temi sociopolitici e di identità nera. Le sue performance sono caratterizzate da testi incisivi e potenti, spesso incentrati sulla lotta per i diritti civili, la giustizia sociale e l'empowerment delle comunità marginalizzate. Ayewa si ispira a figure iconiche come Patti LaBelle, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, Malcolm X e Maya Angelou, integrando le loro influenze nel suo lavoro. Tra i suoi album più importanti figurano "Fetish" (2018) e "Black Encyclopedia of the Air" (2020), entrambi accolti con grande apprezzamento dalla critica. Moor Mother è considerata una voce importante nella scena musicale contemporanea, capace di unire arte e attivismo in modo potente e coinvolgente.
