The year is seventy-eight, I emerge fully formed
In this land of breaks where illiterates swarm
Gathered and prayed to ego's torn
Each king is displayed and his hill mourned
As scholars disperse like bullets
This sqular takes soul and loops it
Walls conquered, canvas of the museless
Planet rockers plus the message is useless
I walk through their thoughts and emotions
My corpse was caught in commotion
It's course I fought with devotion
Poetry unthawed to lawless erosion
One reads above massacres below
Hoodlums battered with prose
Pace through shattered windows
Post blues of scattered widows

Let the record show
This music died with sweet prose
Let the record show
There's a new slave hymn to compose
Let the record show
This music died with sweet prose
Let the record show
There's a new slave hymn to compose

Within a decade of blackness
This sonic charade fell to madness
Capitalist renegades shrugged like atlas
And the skies fell jaded into anguish
Afrofuturists degrade alongside regressives
Enslaved by counter-counter culture messages
Capitalist rebellion placed on Africa necklaces
Uncle Tom's cabinplace overlooking deathwish's
As ultra magnetic tapes defy this critical beatdown
Straight outta pathetic wastes I surround
Satori in Compton's deathless state I've been crowned
My own destroyer in devilish fate and sound
This radio plays our slow suicide
While puppeteers use this guise
To engineer these useless eyes
As blind to the truth's quick rise

Let the record show
This music died with sweet prose
Let the record show
There's a new slave hymn to compose
Let the record show
This music died with sweet prose
Let the record show
There's a new slave hymn to compose

They used to do me out in the park
They abuse me as the city grows dark
I've been scratched and deconstructed
For pleasure this match has combusted
I'm a phoenix forced into normalcy
Spreading black thoughts at the roots of conformity
This project blowed till the ant's icon
Atmospheres decomposed and he serves Babylon
Now puppeteers imitate the public enemy
Accompanied flows disintegrate into jewellers centrepiece
Knowledge rapidly shrinks over nearly everybody
So the genius's naturally flee at nearly godspeed
New flesh spreads over public frequencies
Resistance is dead and crucified frequently

Let the record show
This music died with sweet prose
Let the record show
There's a new slave hymn to compose
Let the record show
This music died with sweet prose
Let the record show
There's a new slave hymn to compose
