What Happened To Me - ISWHAT?! remix

The Same People 

This same Dr King, would take these same people, who were afraid of white people, just 2 weeks later, and you would see; 8 year old girls, 82 year old women, getting up, facing dogs, facing fire hoses, facing cattle prods, facing batons, facing horses. - getting knocked down, getting up and going again, with nothing in their hands except the righteous belief, of the righteousness of their cause and non-violence as their tactic. 

Dr. King would take the same man, who was scared of white folk, and have this same man face them, with all the weapons in their hands, and this man had nothing but the conviction of the correctness of his cause. Dr. King is a great man. We must know precisely his greatness. I tell all the people of the world, ‘I lay all the rebellions of this country at the feet of Dr. Martin Luther King’ !!!

Of course, when Dr.King taught me how to face white people without guns and they had all the guns, it didn’t take nothin’ for me to pick up a gun and face them … It took absolutely nothing! I could face them, look them in the eye. They’d knock me down, I’d get back up! They’d knock me down, I’d get back up! They’d put cigarettes on me, I’d get back up! While I could look them in the eye and do all this, while it didn’t take anything to pick up, … matter fact I was ready for it.

Lyrics:

A MAN CALLED BIKO 
I don’t speak for everybody 
I don’t even try to do it 
Specially since I’d have to tell 
a whole buncha lies to do it 
 
Threw away the script 
I find it’s tried and true dat
facts is really easy man 
It aint nothing to it 

Speak it how you know it 
or don’t open up your face 
Don’t wait til it’s convenient 
Cause you got an open case

most amazing disgrace 
Is every rat at one time 
Was a gangster in his prime 
Wit only honor on his mind 

Had to leave it all behind 
cause it wasn’t serving him 
His homies getting all these shines 
Without deserving them

I’m hearing all these lies 
But I see reality 
And truth of the plot in the saga
Telling me 

No matter what you claim 
Or who you sposed to be 
That you would sacrifice the life you chose 
For jealousy 

So save It for the judge 
Or save it for the slugs 
For the after life 
When you receive eternal hugs 

The only one buying it 
‘ll sell you right back 
A pocket full of lint 
That he passing off as facts 

When you bust him the act 
When you catch him in the deed 
He remind you of excuses 
that both of yall need 

And you realize then 
that you’re deep in a den 
Surrounded by tens and hundreds of thousands
Of rats and vermin that pretend to be men 



The most dangerous cat 
Is a ronin with a memory 
Who sees how it is 
and how told him It was posed to be 

And they watching him closely 
Cause he really might do
All them things that they say 
They posed to do 

But really stay modest 
Bout living so honest 
Cause he keep his arm strong
And his blade stay polished 

With only one object 
A soul living purpose 
To Bless the ancestors 
And break generational curses

Just let the lions out the circus
And for the clowns that stay 
We gone make sure the babies 
Get fed when we play 

With that Garvey type of 
Biko type of Nat Turner bang
Swing meant a different thing 
When they was watching us hang 

Now we loading the 4-4 
and looping the 4-4 
We didn’t get the mule 
But that’s not what we here for 

It’s still not clear boy?
We loyal to the last 
Wit our eyes on the future 
Understanding the past 

We don’t do it for the cash 
But you should never ignore 
We priceless with the niceness 
You could never afford 

We pen what we love 
You can listen if you like 
Black excellence is evident
When we on the mic 

On a dark and deadly night 
in Pretoria
We looking straight into the light 
with no euphoria 

And let the Spirit send the word 
Straight back to Jo Borg 
So sincere about the beauty that’s known
But hardly heard 

If you don’t make it through the night man
Just know that you alright man 
You OK man 
We gonna see a brighter day man
