lyrics

If you put the planet on trial how'd it break down
Would Mandela take the stand and represent cape town
Would the Angels punk the cops have em layin facedown
Kiss the ground unnecesary shakedowns
Who would speak for us
Could obama charm the heavens like he reaches us
If it was up to me I'd conjure 3 beats to bust
Let Nas, Hov and Kweli speak for the streets n such
Call up Cornell West and Michael Eric Dyson's
And just for intimidation bring along Tyson
We ain't goin out without a fight
Ask Maya Angelou if she'd be down to write
Sai Baba and Dali Lama
Lecture the jurors on mankinds karma
Take it further bring in some samba dancer
And Party like we know the answer

Not guilty - Life is filthy
Blame it on the forefathers they the ones who built me
But who am I to blame
When carefully considered all be through a lot a pain

Half a you Angels been here before
I call to the stand Tupac Shakur
We ain't sugar coatin life sir give it to us raw
Is it true that these humans made you be an outlaw
Mr Marley would you come back more
Would you say things've changed or is there everywhere war
Could you say beneath the surface is a genuine core
Or is their weaponry and treachory an inborn flaw
Dr King and Ghandhi calmly
Address life in ways thats far beyond me
Said some a dem are awake but most a dem zombie
If I was you Lord I'd resort to plan B
King Solomon claimed that no part a him
Could come to terms wit the thinkin of modern men
Told me I was just clingin to what might a been
And at times revolution makes ya fight a friend
Trust I'm out here fightin on despite my my neighbors
And the kids I grew up kickin it wit was once my slavers
If the final verdict's not in our favors
Let the final trumpet sound from the soul a Miles Davis

Most High...when manipulation becomes a science. Literally a science. You can't fault the prey for endorsing the imbalance and greed promoted by the predators.
And when profit is at the very core of survival not to mention success. Self promotion trumps morality. Leaving people to choose between their gut feelings and their well being. An unfortunate predicament for sure. But one we face none the less. Although I do not believe you to be a judging God, for the sake of the song I ask that you consider our growth in awareness in these recent generations before rendering your decision. Although our work is far from done, it certainly feels as if we're finally clearing the space, emotionally, intellectually and on some levels politically to step fully into our intended role here on this planet. Not as rulers but as tuners to the highest frequency Let us live.
