~intro~
come along with us
we journey into the night
to birth art by dawn
black experience
times change some things never change
vinyl never cracks
there’s no garuntee
that these records will feed me
but sound is golden
just a dance you say
well i know better than that
it’s blood in the veins
so funky james brown
ripped it like a mighty knight
sir tear up the floor in the beginning
was the curse and the curse was
m-e-d-i-o-c-r-i-t-y
emcees lift us up
put our lips to life’s cup and
bid us drink from it
habari gani?
what’s the news in Swahili
read the tunnel walls
south african walls
philadelphia tunnels
let the people paint
~outro~
with this we take leave
to thine ownself remain true
mirrors must be friends
