Angel Fly High

Angel, fly high   

  Earned your wings last night 

(I do not own this pic)

Angel, sing sweet

As we fall fast asleep

You will take to the sky

Tears well in our eyes

Cause you go far away

Will you return if we say

Angel fly high 

Angel, can we say goodbye

Angel, of brown skin

Will our hearts ever mend

(I do not own this pic)

Angel, We cry

As your sweet voice fills our mind

And you take to the sky

 Tears well in our eyes

Cause you go far away

Will you return if we say

Angel, fly high

Angel, can we say goodbye

T the Dove



 3ft high and rising      Me, Myself and I and 

Da La Soul inspired       Psychedelic Sires

  Funky Da La clothes    Honoring Plug 2 flows

Proud of what they am    On a ParlimentFunkadelic jam

Mirror, mirror on the wall   Da La in our ears ya'll

See the evolution of the culture will never cease.   

My man, T the Dove

 Rest In Peace

Lift Every Voice




Lift every voice and sing

Till warrior with angel wings

Join in the harmony

of victory

Fire of truth in our eyes

Deserving of virtuous allies

For only the unbound control their destiny

Sing a song filled with the pain that the dark past has brought us

Sing a song filled with fight that our ancestors taught us

The face of the rising sun conquers the unrighteous ones

Let us march on for unity brings victory

In The Image Of


  

Pic -The Gift of Black Folks -W E B Dubois


 Hair like wool  Feet of bronze

Face a blinding sun

In the image of the most high

comes 

Creation

From the motherland 

To the offsprings  of nations far and wide

Tribal rhythms fill the air

Flames of fire eyes

In the image of   an intoxicating love

Hypnotic as ocean waves

Healing power, soothing songs

Souls forever saved

The Community Of You

   




  

I do not own the rights to this pic


  Thank you for always being there    When we didn't know what we thought we did

You had wisdom to spare

Firm yet gentle,  loving but tough

When the world was kicking our ass,  you said," Never give up"

Or give in cause bad times never last

 To make sure we learned from the mistakes of the past

 You taught,  "Know your worth"   Never let your dreams be deferred 

To remember action always speak louder than our words

But deeper still you helped us to see

That we weren't what the enemy portrayed us to be

 You said hold your head high but stay humble of heart

That our features weren't abominations, but works of art

Because of our minds, you said, there was nothing we couldn't do

Thank you, we're grateful for the community of you

CRT HisStory











 Well, We have CRT right here

Let it wash over you with panic and fear

 There's no systematic racism  No black or white

 We all melt into the agenda of the Christian Right

Where blue eyed jesus straps on an AK

And if you believe "BLM", he'll blow your ass away

Cause "all lives matter" certainly, they do

But, African American history has no "educational value"

Unless, of course, it's approved by the great white father

aka the demagogue, the hate-monger, the snake charmer

Rabble Rousing the poor helpless masses

To ban books, harass school boards, and disrupt teachers in classes

For if we aren't careful, we'll lose our country, man

To the Woke mob of diverse citizens who crave equity throughout the land.

Children Of The Sun ( On The Black Hand Side)




pic @kelsgorgeous


 Beautiful Nubians 

Children of the sun

Made in God's image

Created to overcome

The enemies slings and arrows

Life's ups and downs

Mind and body houses an indomitable spirit

Upon your head a natural crown

Black Love surrounds you and will never let you go

Take a moment to acknowledge the presence before you walk out the door

Beautiful Black People 

Children of the sun

The most highs blessings are before you

And you'll be gifted with every one

From Just Us to Justice (On The Black Hand Side)




 Memphis on my mind 

A black body dyin' 

in the street  bloody and beat

From an abuse of power

Trademark of cowards

Mentality of a slave patrol

Those defending them should search your souls 

Because It's not about the color of the perps, it's about the color of the victim

And this all lives matter, anti woke, dog whistle, system

But, we know, venting won't light the spark

Change can't be sustained by just cursing the dark

So stand up, use your talent, your voice, your skill

Cause, from "Just us" to justice can only be accomplished by collective will

Taking up the Mantle (Black Hand Side)




 Lift every voice and sing

Shout it from the mountain tops

Do your thing 

For the devil is busy and without a doubt

We must come together to take him out

 Every waking moment; night and day

Putting in the work as diligently as we pray

For our families, their future, our ancestors, their tribes

For the ones who shed blood for our bondage free lives

The oppressor is crafty and hell bent on dragging us back

So we take up the mantle to assure our victory in the midst of his attack
