Black people, what y'all gon' do Black people, what y'all gon' do Black people, what y'all gon' do when you wake up and find that you're dead with maggots and roaches eating the pus out of your prostituted minds and white deathly hands massaging your [?] red-hot branding iron? You're writing songs of love but not for me They're writing songs of love but not for me Here we are the employees of all love but yet we are working overtime to cover up our loneliness John Coltrane died in vain of love supreme John Coltrane died in vain of love supreme Where are the loaves to [?] screams of black unity? John Coltrane died in vain of love supreme Where are the higher octanes of righteousness and truth? John Coltrane died in vain of love supreme Where are the higher registers of peace and love? John Coltrane died in vain What are black people doing enough of that they shouldn't be doing? Nothing, nothing, nothing Black people what y'all gon' do Black people what y'all gon' do I see junkie bitches giving birth to gonorrhea-faced babies that come out nodding to the rhythms of God Bless America And these same babies grow up to be good-looking corpses that haunt the streets of Harlem raping syphilic-minded wombless black pussies who dream of becoming virgins once again in the hereafter Stop in the name of love Stop in the name of love Stop mugging that old woman She's been saving her money all year for a trip to Electric Circus where she died the very next day Oh God, oh God!! God ain't dead, he's down at the family planning office handing out birth control pills to black women telling them they are gifts from Heaven Look, there's Old Sam the Rhino searching for a last sip of ancient sweet love in an empty wine bottle in the gutters of his soul And the air has become polluted with white lies of love while love is dying from overdoses of misused Christianity and legitimate insane asylums and legal torture chambers called [?] outside Bed Stuy and Huff Are we the black people we once loved with the [?] of time Time was ours to hold in the soft love warm chambers of our hearts It was we the afro mommies and daddies of a son [?] would turn our strands of hair into antennas to tune in the juju madness and syncopated love rhythms of Africa And we love with time and we took the time to love And with the right time, we'd love And we loved time after time Will we ever love again? Will we ever love again? Will we really ever love again? Or will we just sit and rot away with the brighter tomorrows and the scag fill rat-cluttered pissed this halls of our minds Black people what y'all gon' do
