King Alfred Plan
Brothers and sisters there is a place for you in AmericaPlaces are being prepared and readied night and day, night and dayThe white boy's plan is being readied night and day, night and dayListen close to what rap say bout traps like Allenwood P.A.Already in D.C. to preventatively detain you and meHow long you think it's going to be before even our dreams ain't freeYou think I exaggerate check out Allenwood P.A.And night and day, night and day - the white boy's plotting night and day, night and dayThe Jews and Hitler come to mindThe thought of slavery far behindBut white paranoia is here to stayThe white boy's scheming night and day, night and dayWhat you think bout the King Alfred PlanYou ain't heard; where you been manIf I may paraphrase the government notice reads:"Should there at anytime become a clear and present danger initiated by any radical element threatening the operation of the government of th United States of America, members of this radical element shall be tranported to dentention centers until such time as their threat has been eliminated - code KING ALFRED"Bullshit I bet you say there ain't no Allenwood P.A.And people ain't waiting night and day, night and day, night and dayThere will be without the Motown sound and thunderbird Wollowing in the echoes of Malcolm's wordsThere must be black unity, there must be black unity For in the end unity will be thrust upon us and we upon it and each otherSongtexteLock in cages penned, hemmed in shoulder to shoulder - arms out-stretched For just a crust of bread,watermelon, mirages and oasis that does not existCuntured up by the bubbling stench of unwash bodies and unsanitary quartersConcrete and bobbed-wire, babies screaming Stumbling around in a mental circle because you never cared enough to be blackIn the end unity will be thrust upon us - blanketed, stipled A salty taste in your mouth from blood oozing from cracks in wooly heads Red pools becoming thicker than syrup slow down your faceSpurs matte from the life force sprung loose from wellsWelled deep by the enforcers of mock justice of the red, white and blueIn the end unity will be thrust upon us Let us unite because of love and not hateLet us unite on our own and not because of bobbed-wired deathYou dare not ignore the things I sayWhitey's waiting night and day, night and day, night and day, night and day Aus Songtexte Mania
