We be Spirit People


Long before the Ayitians fought back
the ancients taught that
heroes were not made
spirit could never be slaved
that the Afrikan would rise again
and bring the end of days

To end the ways of the beast amongst us
disarm those who harm the very least amongst us
for as much as they do unto these of us
they do also unto the Most High in us
they trigger quakes where most that die is us
tourists lounging laughing while they who cry is us
missionaries come again and again to spy on us

Long before the Ayitians fought back
the ancients taught that
fiction would be as real as fact
matter of fact?
fact won’t matter
fact won’t matter

Fact would seem to matter on the surface
but under the earth
quake machines would cause faults on purpose
purpose being
to turn Supreme Beings into corpses
same beings
who broke France's back from the backs of horses

With no standing army or marines
they showed France who the real boss is
shook their shackles
dealt the west their first free labor losses
now count the costs
thirty-plus coup d’états
spiteful embargoes
and France extorting
all designed to keep Ayiti from rising

But long before the Ayitians fought back
the ancients taught that

Afrikans could never be poor people
they be my people and your people
never those people always close people
for we people will always be free people
no matter where we be people

The Ancients taught that
Spirit could never be slaved
and we be Spirit people
long before the Ayitians fought back

Move The Village
Move The Village
To Higher Ground
Comes The Storm
