Walk Away

Learn, teach, build, protect yourself. This should be automatic. We encourage you to focus on what will propel you to a better life.  Contained by no man, by no beast. 

“Automate”

“…In essence, one other thing, instead of you and me running around here seeking allies, in our struggle for freedom, in the irish neighborhood, or the jewish neighborhood, or the Italian neighborhood, we need to, we need to seek some allies among people who look something like we do”
- Malcom X

“…Sit down at the table of brotherhood”
 - Martin Luther King Jr.

“…Its time out for you and me to stop, running away from the wolf right into the arms of the fox, looking for some kind of help. That’s a drag.”
- Malcolm X


Its sure ain’t easy and it may get harder as the days moves on
with every lesson, baby be a blessing cuz you never know
what might change, rearrange for the better or go up in flame
Better count your blessings, keep stepping, don’t you ever give your life away

You got to change, you gotta make waves
you’ve got to stay, hell no
I’m not playing games with the enemy

Automate,

“I have a dream, that one day… Rise up!”

(this should be automatic, this should be automatic)

Its sure ain’t easy and its gon’ harder as the violence swarms
a historic lesson, moving and shaking till the battles won
You hear those sirens of tyrants don’t you ever let em think they’ve won
With strategic guidance we’ll rise and overthrow with an uppercut

You’ve gotta be smart, you’ve got to have heart 
You’ve got to say, Hell no
No weapon thats formed will ever conquer me

You must Automate

“I have a dream,”

convert your mind

“that one day”

(this should be automatic, this should be automatic)

“Rise!”


Its sure been easy to fall so victim to dysfunction
beg and pleading for reparations from greedy ones
(what you expect?)
what might change, rearrange if we built everything we need
Then who could take or really break us when you got the blueprint and key?

You got to stand, You’ve got to demand
You’ve got to say, Hell no
I’m nobodies slave that’s on everything
YOU

Automate

“I have a dream,”

You’ve felt this pain, its a game, lets get this straight
You should know it already

“Rise!”

Rise up and make your way, strategize, keep faith.


“All of this rage. In a wake thats headed towards justice rather than killing each other this is a different moment ya don’t say? Thats exactly right. Thats what we want, thats what we need. But the challenge is gonna be: Can we pass on to the younger generation the expression of that rage like: Douglas and Dubois and Ella Baker and Ida B Wells Barnett and Malcolm X and Martin King, through Love and Justice rather than hatred and revenge. Thats the challenge. Theres got to have a moral quality and spiritual content to it. Because the rage is going to come. America you’re gonna reap what you sow. Sooner or later  you’re gonna come to terms with those who have been sacrificed for your progress.”
- Cornell West

It never rains here in LA
It never rains here in LA

Sorting mine
I been well over the sober line
Over time
Keep a bible at hand and I stay reside
Losing mind
Oh my God
Nobody taught me how to feat
Hoping that I don’t fumble dreams
Everything gray and mundane 
I know this
What?
To make good choice
Ignore it
And nobody knows it, knows it
Only me 
And I keep forgiving my simple mistakes
But it never rains

It never rains
Here in LA
It never rains
Here in LA

You vanished
Have you come for me?
To manage hidden miseries

Where you been these days?
Something feels so strange

Almost Heaven
