My man is dying by his own hand
But it’s not ‘im that decided
To make this place one fit for dogs
That’s just ‘ow ‘im he found it
Cast among people cold as Snow dive in arctic misery
Compassion done left, so hate moved in
From sea to frozen sea
Picture yourself in an empty room
With the nothing Window facing empty gloom
Doing without & nothing within soon, comin’ on too soon
And our man is cryin’ believe you me
Sobbin’ like a dyin’ man do
We can’t hear a l’ing he says playing stereo
Can’t say he’s right fe doomself in
Know I can say ‘es wrong
Come down ‘pon a planet where ‘im don’t belong
You may call it suicide, in terms of for all you know
I say he sees things we can’t even fear
I’ll call it sacrifice
Givin up. Sivin in givin’ out found the simple way out
Takin’ his life, is givin’ his life, what’s this [?]?
No one sees, nobody comes, just him in this fight
I think he lef’ a note describin’ his plight
Don’t you feel like signin’ it?
Carried away on the stretcher bars
[jus got carried away
Here the saddest thing in the whole wide world
Is the one who dies this way
The white man made us many promises More than I can remember And he never kept but one He promised to take our land took it
Just so you never feel at home So that you never rest at ease Just so you never believe you walk alone There are ghosts
Don’t let your history be forgot How much was stolen what was bought How much was taken in the rear How did we get out here?
SATYA GRAHA
I dont know much about history I dont know much sociology I dont know sh#t about genocide I forgot the day the day the red man died But I do know one one is two Boy Iin sorry bout what happened to you [what a wonderful world it would be
If you were in the streets today. Or anywhere or anyway, You seen what l’in about to say People treat each other cold Like an old stone savage armed” You seen a pack of street dogs roam Dog men doing each other harm Now look into your life, I say Tell yourself how to behave Sincerely now..are you a slave to
Your musclebound, big dog Soldier of fortune
Gland crap? So learn from what Mohandas say In truth there is a better way. Yea Youve heard the words of MLK
Now tell me what your conscience say. Yea. Dick Gregory today Listen what the brother say, Yea There’s nothing noble in your fists Your canine footh attests to this, Yea You carit justify the fight my friend Arttean means to a common ends
You gotta rise above this
50 next time youre out A streets Our problems look too big to beat It ain’t so, heres what you can do: Look into your life, I say The same fault lies with you today You change it there, You change it everywhere. Yea Yea
There are ghosts everywhere Can’t be buried by no thoroughfare Carit be covered by no eight-lane game Canit be cancelled by no other name Won’t be lost between some history class Won’t be shoved up the white mans 855 Worit be hidden by no shopping mall Because soon come all of this will fall They never laid claim to this land Laid it in our Mothers hands While us we wanted everything Ghosts dont hear no freedom ring
A DOG DAY
