My colleagues be my hits men on every occasion Standing over me like knights over the globe I'm the world inhabitable pen prodigy Pulp like steep, yet condemned when I bleed But look at me A woman in a skin the whole world need The seventies in my hair The nineties in my futuristic flare Wearing googles with a twenty-twenty vision Mind [?] by the grace of precision of a black woman's decision to be great in her hair Underwater living I breathe and blood into birth giving A gambling huff, a roll of the dice I can reincarnate again and again and still choose black twice Check my shoulders Look at the skyline across the bridge of my chest "What's going on?" Marvin asked first Raheem redeem the cords of the quest These countless hurts ain't just a rehearsal They want us to see death Like [?] the epidemy of birth Our tears may stand the concrete of our stare But they'll be the river for this world forever Shed some And when you're done Watch the world you've birth Grow Grow Grow You're listening to WDMG 69.1 Wanna give thanks for that The lifluence cyphel Spoken words by Ra Brown For that Black Fist moment And now for you're listening pleasure The new soul era presents The rhythm and blues Colleagues quartet Featuring Raheem DeVaughn
