[Meshell Ndegéocello, Talib Kweli - Hot Night letra de lyrics]
"I was a member of the Communist Party i'm
Not a member of the Communist Party
Anymore - but I still
Consider myself very much
A socialist so we'll get to that later"
Let's go "One of the reasons why the war in
Vietnam was able to happen as
Long as it did - was because
This - of this fear
Of communism and people pointed to the
Vietnamese as their enemy as if
Somehow or another, if the country defeated
The communist enemy in Vietnam
Things were gonna be okay at home"
But it's a hot night
Let's talk about the sign o' the times
Politics
And the fight of a revolutionary soul singer
It's a hot night head down to the club
For the piña coladas without the alcohol
And let's talk about the world, y'all
Can you pick me up?
You know I hate driving in the evil city
And baby, read my mind, hit La Caridad
So I can get some coffee
And we can get our talk on
Seems I got caught up in
This romanticized idea of revolution
With saviors, prophets, and heroes
But in the silence of my prayers
I had a vision of my hatred
Dissolving to grains of sand
Realized that to the universe that's
All I really am just a grain of sand
I don't want to get caught up
In all that spiritual shit
But it ain't much to hold onto
We all living in a world built upon
Rape, starvation, greed, need
Fascist regimes white man
Rich man democracy uh
Suffer in the world trade paradise
Hit me now, come on
But it's a hot night
Let's talk about the sign o' the times
Politics
And the fight of a revolutionary soul singer
It's a hot night head down to the club
For the piña coladas without the alcohol
And let's talk about the world, y'all
Let me be the first to say this
Fuck the first bh ever ask me
To buy her some dumb shit
Ns be fightin' for Jordans they can't afford
Bought in a store, costing
More than a hun-dred, yeah
Capitalism got 'em trapped in a vision
That tell lies they watch way
More than a sunset, uh
I feed my babies with music, I tell the truth
But now I'm a target in they market
Ain't that a sumummabitch
It's a urgent emergency courtesy
Of the counterinsurgency
Tryna murder me, yeah, and now it's on
And uh it's cause I verbally hurdle
All they absurdities
Accurate rhyme poem and I survive the storm
And uh certainly words can be weapons
If people heard me
They thinkin' they God and they
Decide what's right or wrong
They live in a bubble
I live for the struggle
After the fight, we home on a hot night
My woman, it's nice and warm, but uh
But it's a hot night
Let's talk about the sign o' the times
Politics
And the fight of a revolutionary soul singer
It's a hot night head down to the club
For the piña coladas without the alcohol
And let's talk about the world, y'all
Let's do it, come on
Join the party, fists in the air
Everybody for the revolutionary soul singer
Side to side, third eye on the prize
We take a ride with the
Revolutionary soul singer
Give the seeds what they need
To breathe and proceed, it's the
Revolutionary soul singer
Word up, yeah, y'all, we
Prepared, y'all, no fear, y'all
Come on
It's a shame the way we all run around
It's a shame the way we all run around
Cause you're blind baby! Blind to the facts!
It's a shame the way we all run around
Cause you're blind baby!
It's a shame the way we all run around
I said you're blind baby!
Blind to the facts of who you are!
But it's a hot night
Let's talk about the sign o' the times
Politics
And the fight of a revolutionary soul singer
It's a hot night head down to the club
For the piña coladas without the alcohol
And let's talk about the world, y'all
Let's do it
"And now of course
That the welfare system has been
Disestablished - and there
Are no jobs, so to speak -
For the women who are told
That if they don't work they
Can only get welfare
For a certain period of time and then they
Have to find a job now they
Haven't had the opportunity to
Go to an institution like this
They may not have the
Skills where are they going to find
A job? And if they
Have children, how are they going
To pay for childcare
In order to guarantee the conditions which
Will allow them to work?"
