For sun rays and Sundays
on more than just one day
my tongue spray like gun play
poke holes in the clouds
I'm Daily Operating as a Guru
like Keith
using loops and breakbeats
against a hegemony
that made 'em ignorant
cogs in the machine
playing for the Romans
spolarium dreams
so I'm sitting on a stoop
just to kick it to y'all
the advice is- watch your step
and make sure you don't fall
for the celebre cause
or whatever holy war
if chopping one head
seems to spring two more
just tell cousin, bring the firebrand
and scorch the stumps of their necks
after my verse has disconnected them
and be you and never them
never them
this is my '95 theses...
My '95 theses.
Check the credentials
the verse written in pencil
the message is the truth
potentially mend you
it intends to- you should allow it
it compels you- you should follow it
then meta-morph your self
and become like no one other
take the word and spread it
to your sisters and your brothers
let's go against the world
like Lesane P. Crooks
creating currency
and have the system shook
throw the Kindle at wackness
and all these bible thumpers
(that ain't hip hop!)
and rap by the numbers
plus we don't need TV or radio
selling music hand to hand
like we cooking up yayo
now airplay sounds like betrayal
backstabbing Bambata
with its farfetched portrayal
you want to wreck?
first learn the elements
and don't just rap
go out and better it
my 95 Theses...
This is my 95 Theses.
