About the song
A kata is a martial arts exercise... I consider this as much, an exercise in my writing ability for public display, to give the people a taste of what I'm trying to do while I prep more professional releases. This kata shows a bit of my sociopolitical side.
Lyrics
I travel the green Earth of God watchin' it turn brown
like the skin of a people that's turned down
whether by themselves or some form of oppressor
and can't recall their passt from the alpha to Omega
While others keep their culture as alive as they feel
We just clutch up on a Bible and kneel
but see, I had a conversation with Jah like L. Ron Hubbard
on how the Black soul is seemin' like a poor man's cupboard
Jah said "Meh na gon butter up the situation
Along the way uno forgotten how to build a nation
Instead of focus on economics and education
you simply learn how fi bruk up man-ooman relations"
So I was sent back to Earth and my mission was clear
to hit with the force of an Ali and the sharpness of a spear
in the hands of Huey Newton, and brace for the storm clouds brewin'
and work to prevent the final ruin so

[Jesus walks] as a black rebel for change
with no time for the dust to settle
[Jesus walks with me] Forget the metal
Gun-butt ya with the facts from a higher level
[Jesus walks] up in your hometown
[Jesus walks] Don't mess around
[Jesus walks with me]
