[Intro: Rich Nice]

What's happening, brothers and sisters?

Welcome to our time


[Spoken Interlude: Jessica Care Moore]

Afro-Angels hide my weapons in tangles

Black Star Spangled, fragile like hematite with the East oils I write

Despite the lack of sunlight, got my battle boots tight

Now that the government's gone, can't tell your left from your right

Winged assassins laughin while the New World's collapsing

Mother Earth's ribs crashed in, armed with cowries, I'm blasting

As the Earth rebels my womb swells

The birth of Black Magic, savin my people force of habit

You can't find if you ain't never had it

Spiritually crafted black-listed hair-twisted ghetto embargo lifted

Power-shifting comb-fisting I predict Goddesses you running after witches

I kiss my fourteen stitches. Keep all my baby girl wishes

I predict all the oceans turn dry

Not one baby girl will cry as you attempt to grow broccoli from the desert

We will take our pregnant bodies, drink from underground rivers

Wash your face between our legs

While recreating humanity, we will summon Yemanja

Search for our fertility, ban all pink and yellow pills. Ban all pink and yellow pills

I predict killing fields of ghetto armpatch anti-Hatch

Hate groups will be bombed, childbirth becomes outlawed

Always will be branded numbered and logged. All paper money is gone

Confused scholars can't interpret our scrolls, your sky has holes

We know the young is old

Nastradamus, tell us how the story gets told (Told, told)
