Angela davis :
"i was a member of the communist party.
I'm not a member of the communist party, anymore - but i consider myself very much a socialist.
So we'll get to that later."

Let's go

Angela davis:
"One of the reasons why the war in vietnam was able to happen as long as it did
Was because this - of this fear of communism.
And people pointed to the vietnamese as their enemy.
As if somehow or another
If the country defeated the communist enemy in vietnam
Things were gonna be okay at home."

But it's a hot night,
Let's talk about the sign of the times
Politics
And the plight of the revolutionary soul singer
It's a hot night
Head down to the club
For the pina coladas without the alcohol
And let's talk about the world y'all
Can you pick me up?
You know i hate driving in the evil city
And baby read my mind, hit la caridad
So i can get some coffee
And we can get our talk on
Seems i got caught up in this romanticized idea of revolution
With saviors, prophets and heroes
But in the silence of my prayers
I had a vision of my hatred
Dissolving into grains of sand
Realized
That to the universe
That's all i really am
Just a grain of sand
I know i get caught up in all that spiritual shit
But there aint much to hold onto
We all living in a world built upon
Rape, starvation, greed, need, fascist regimes
White man, rich man democracy
Suffer in the world trade paradise
Hear me now...
But it's a hot night,
Let's talk about the sign of the times
Yeah
Politics
And the plight of the revolutionary soul singer
Word up
C'mon
It's a hot night
Head down to the club for the pina coladas without the alcohol
Let's go
And let's talk about the world y'all
Angela davis: "and nike has a factory in ho chi minh city..."
Let me be the first to say this,
Fuck the first bitch
That ever asks me to buy her some dumb shit
C'mon
Niggas be fighting
For jordan's they can't afford
Bought in a store
Costing more than a hundred, yeah
Capitalism got em trapped in a vision
That ya love to watch way more than a sunset
Ah
I feed my babies with music
I tell the truth
But now i'm a target in they market,
Ain't that a summummabitch?
It's an urgent emergency
Courtesy of the counterinsurgency
Trying to murder me
Yeah
And now it's on, and ah
It's cuz i verbally hurdle all their absurdities
Accurate rhyme poem and i,
Survive the storm and ah
Certainly words can be weapons
If people heard me they thinking they god,
That they decide what's right and wrong
They live in a bubble
I live for the struggle
After the fight,
We home on a hot night,
My woman is nice and warm but ah...
It's a hot night,
Yeah
Let's talk about the sign of the times
Politics
Ah
And the plight of the revolutionary soul singer
C'mon
It's a hot night
Head down to the club for the pina coladas without the alcohol
And let's talk about the world y'all
Let's do it, c'mon
Join the party, fist in the air,
Everybody for the
Revolutionary soul singer
Side to side,
Third eye on the prize,
We'll take a ride with the
Revolutionary soul singer
Give the seeds what they need to breath and proceed
It's the revolutionary
Soul singer
Word up, yeah y'all,
We prepared y'all, no fear y'all
Come on
It's a shame the way we all run around
Blind to the facts, yeah
It's a shame the way we all run around
Cuz you blind, baby
Blind to the facts, ah
Yeah
It's a shame the way we all run around
Cuz you blind, baby
Blind to the facts, yeah
It's a shame the way we all run around
Cuz you blind, baby
Blind to the facts of who you are
Yeah
But it's a hot night,
Ah
Let's talk about the sign of the times
Politics
And the plight of the revolutionary soul singer
C'mon
It's a hot night
Head down to the club for the pina coladas without the alcohol
And let's talk about the world y'all
Let's do it

Angela davis : ("the prison industrial complex")
"And now of course, that the welfare system has been disestablished
And there are no jobs, so to speak - for for women who are told, that if they don't work...
They can only get welfare for a certain period of time and then they have to find a job.
Now they haven't had the opportunity to go to an institution like this.
They may not have the skills. Where are they going to find a job?
And if they have children, how are they going to pay for childcare,
In order to guarantee the conditions which will allow them to work?"
