“Old school beats”
PART 1
Yesterday I enjoyed the tunes
The tunes of sacrifice
The tunes of struggle
The melodious tunes of solidarity,
The tunes of aluta…
What a sudden change?
Now
I hear them speak in new tongues
The tongues
Of self
Of I
Of oppression
Of betrayal

See the drums vomit blood!

I hear the drums groan
I hear them speak in Hebrew, Chinese, Greek, and Pakistan as barbarians
Where comes these languages?
How did they infiltrate into our culture?
Where are the custodians
The polyglots,
The scientist,
The sociologist,
Can we get some interpretation?

Oh! I
Hear the tunes of
Self
Betrayal
Thuggery
Assassination
Sycophancy been
Sung
Not Izon
Oh! I wish I can still hear
The beats of ken delivered
The chants of falana and kimathi echoed to my hearings
See the vocalists!
Who compose for us songs of the strange man!
Who have change the tunes of our drums
