[WHEN]
THE MUSIC. DON'T SLEEP ON IT. IT TOTALLY FITS THE WRITE...

When my people were primordial and yours were a distant memory of genetic mutation and climatic influence Allah walked with man... Told him things in the time before time where there were no life spans...
We were whispered of then
When your people were still a distant memory mine were constructing monuments the world over... Pyramids in Egypt... Pyramids in Puebla...Great Zimbabwe's walls and giant heads in Olmec society.
We existed in the seed that they passed to their women that fertilized the eggs and gave birth to new generations.
When biblical stories were being written about great black men. Adam, Moses ,Noah and Jesus...
When black women were looked on as queens and Judith took the head of Holofernes and held it high, blood dripping from the stump and struck fear in an invading army...
Restored the pride of a people.
We were talked of around fires as men wondered what might the future bring.
When the first slave ship named Jesus sailed the seas and brought belly loads of Africans to a strange beach...
When the first black man was killed in front of in front of a crowd of his peers to assert authority...
When the first strange fruit dangled from a tree and Nat Turner was cooked into hair grease... The first black woman raped and impregnated with caucasoid seed...
We were talked of in a psychological study called the Willie Lynch Theory which predicted cause and effect as asserted by terror and tricknowledge... Pure fuckery.
When white Jesus became the way we see and anything black made into evil...
When we were denied the right to read...
The right to assembly...
The right to be...
When they killed Martin, Malcolm and crucified Fred Hampton, we were talked of as the future and predicted to be strong...
Black proud and pumping fists of black power.
That was then and this is now...
Here we stand, lost in the forgetting of when.
