you make my thunder rumble
one hondo

gorging in the valley of deceit
i grieve for thee
twisted roots beneath the ancient tree
lay next to me
rain drops in my third eye
sheathe your weaponry
stretch out your inner thigh
massage style thai
spine arched in ecstasy
breathe in the most high

mela chloro
mela chloro
fields of mint
kimoyo
emeralds and cinnamon
black pearls and curls
make men crawl in the womb again

and unfurl the quilled pen
to liberate Congo
and the creative disciplines

wiggle make ya thang jiggle
curves of space time got ya in a pickle
but lets keep things civil

one hondo, habibi
I know you see me
say Jambo in kiswahili
when you greet me

on red bush tea i’m stress free
falsastin in love with the Red Sea
theories of gravity
conceal the keys to the black earth

sow your seeds in black dirt
and take a look at your self worth
its priceless
cultivate love in mass
but don’t hesitate to wup a colonizer’s

word to your male mother
your female father tryna holla
collapse the all mighty dolla
inshallah

i breathe light
white moons, black night
i breathe light
dark body, soul bright
dark skies give life

chasing femininity
failing to look within
gender triggered by chromosomes they figure
couldn’t be more wrong than white folks sayin

i’m not a killa but don’t push me
ancestors turn you into bush meat
twa mbouti
give blessing from the neteru
that’s the lesson,
i bid you adieu
