I am the remix, I am the remix, I am the remix I am the version that my ancestors alluded to in the original Soul stirring vocal tracks stemming into my DNA My bloodline was mixed and mastered this way The echoes of my parents panning left to right Transplanting from mono to stereo sounds put together I am vinyl gripped from the catalog before being laid down Then flipped on its side to begin the instant replay Cause it sounded so good you had to run it back Mama, I carry the reverb of every word you'd pray in my southern tone Like a Mahalia Jackson solo. I hijacked your smile hid it underneath my cheeks But I am big boned as Grandma Jewel, on my daddy's side Her pigment and posture poised over me and I wear it like an album sleeve of pride This artwork cover is glossy and fly I've enclosed a bonafide discography I hold my father's passion for music and it's swirling in my ebony calligraphy He went crate digging with Ms. Elizabeth LaVern back in 1981 Love was so cool back then that it, Sly and the Family Stone Slid into their soundtrack to produce me at the dawn of the Millennial generation So I flow alternating hits from analog to digital drop I am a sample ripped from my parents masterpiece Chopped into audio clips from, Roberta Flack to the Last Poets spoken in native tongues Can you hear the hand stroke on the drum? I am so afro blue I am the remix, I am the remix, I am the remix I have become an anthem, a downloadable edible melody I am whirlwind of womanhood concealing a clandestine mystery The matriarchs tasted a sampler of sound bytes to create me Heavenly as manna in their mouth But foreign tongue trips over the hip hop tempo They are lost in the loop of an 8 track and down beat rhythm Stumbling over the syncopation of my flow I've been flipped over like a cassette My hidden gems have yet to be discovered My meter is still smothered in soul Speed it up a hair, crossfade, then find a new instrumental Mix me with it, like a dope dance track being born on the turntables I am the fables the ancient orators spoke of centuries ago Timeless as golden oldies and negro spirituals They laced me with the beat of the bango Even the Bantu and Shango know, so I was elevated me through the ancestry My genes swing and lindy hop Phonograph the ragtime in my spine, crank up the bebop in my hips a notch I am a jazzy lass with a splash of uncensored lyrics leaking out my lips Every part of my anatomy is stamped explicit I am the remix, can you hear it? Hear me roar From the ceiling to the floor let my version pour out the speaker Thumping and giving you something so fresh, so real I am the version of the original with mass appeal I am the remix, I am the remix, I am the remix
