Defari - These Dreams lyrics

Aiyyo put one in the air for the ancestors
Y'know?
Cause without them, there'd be no us
That's real
There's something on my mind everyday
All the time
It's the legacy, y'know? Generations
Of black people now bust this

Aiyyo I think about this government
Three strikes capital punishment
Enslaved my peoples for four hun-d-red
Yeah, plus some
Often dream of goin back in time
And givin slaves guns BUK!
So they can watch the master run
Watch them devil try to get away then
Clap his back with the shotgun
I got one, let's cut his head off
Let's take it to Harriet Tubman
Show her that we ready to set it off
She get Nat Turner, Nat go get Sojourner
Sojourner send a messanger
For Touissant L'Overture
Through the underground railroad, we go
Through the dark to the edge of
Forrest to meet with Denmark
Vessey, you know he got soldiers ready
Ready to kill like lions, in the Serengeti
So like a stampede we rush the plantation
Settin fire to everything
Burn them down like cremation
No hesitation, free up the black nation
Kill them devils take his ships and
Head back for the mainland the game plan
Yet and still it's just a dream
I never forget, in my mind it never leave
Aiyyo

I never forget, in my mind it never leave
These dreams, filled with days of slavery
Never forget, in my mind it never leave
These dreams, filled with days of slavery

Yo, aiyyo Jamie was a slave
Every baby she'd have the
Master would take away
She never seen one long enough to give a name
Everytime the master would rape
Jamie'd feel ashamed she was only fourteen
Violated, used and abused, far from a queen
I met Jamie in a dream
I gave her a brand new
M-16 with two magazines
I told her next time he come around
Act like you want him, get him to lay down
Make sure that he take off his clothing
After that I want you to fill him up
Full of bullet holes release the whole clip
Set trip on that motherfucker
Tell him that's for disrespectin
You and your mother
Your grandmother, your great-grandmother
Your brother your father
In the land they call the mother
Next thing you do is round up all the rest
Stay together and shoot your way
To freedom, God bless, aiyyo


Aiyyo, I got DJ Babu in the house
From the World Famous, Beat Junkies
Aiyyo, yo Babs how you feel about this?
And this goes out to all the ancestors
Especially to my grandmother
The foundation, rest in peace
Love you grandma
