Wolves
(专辑: Lets Get Free - 2000)
[Wolf Howls] I'm not a
hunter but i
am told, that, uh, in places like in the
arctic, where indiginous people sometimes might, might, hunt a
wolf, they'll take a
double edged blade, and they'll put blood on the
blade, and they'll melt the
ice and stick the
handle in the
ice, so that only the
blade is protruding, and that a
wolf will smell the
blood and wants to eat, and it will come and lick the
blade trying to eat, and what happens is when the
wolf licks the
blade, of course, he cuts his tongue, and he bleeds, and he thinks he's really having a
good thing, and he drinks and he licks and he licks, and of course he is drinking his own blood and he kills himself, thats what the
Imperialists did with us with crack cocaine, you have these young brothers out there who think they are getting something they gonna make a
living with, they is getting something they can buy a
car, like the
white people have cars, why can't i
have a
car? they getting something they can get a
piece of gold, white people have gold, why can't i
have gold? they getting something to get a
house, white people have a
house, why can't i
have a
house? and they actually think that theres something thats bringing resources to them, but they're killing themsleves just like the
wolf was licking the
blade, and they're slowly dying without knowing it. thats whats happening to the
community, you with me on that? thats exactly, precisely what happens to the
community, and instead of blaming the
hunter who put the
damn handle and blade in the
ice for the
wolf, that what happens is the
wolf gets the
blame, gets the
blame for trying to live, thats what happens in our community, you don't blame the
person, the
victim, you blame the
oppressor, Imperialism, white power is the
enemy, was the
enemy when it first came to Africa, and snatched up the
first African brothers here against our will, isss the
enemy today, and thats the
thing that we have to understand. [Clapping]
