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, That's 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 there's something that's 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. That's what's happening to the community, you with me on that? That's 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, That's 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 that's the thing that we have to understand.
