[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.
