asheru & blue black of the unspoke heard - setting sun lyrics

intro:
[?] africans gather around to see their king dressed as a clown, why he there so? to show he still get power as he lays he’s life down
so throughout the story never get children see their father grow up , cos the father is not around to give wisdom to the son; and that’s basically everything been going on for so long that we don’t know anything different. its like children , you know , brought over here from african slave ships …

[asheru]
yo , this is the story of the setting sun
getting sent to p-ss wisdom onto the son (x3) [chorus]
yo this is the story of the setting sun

my only son saw me die he screaming far and wide
i took a look at the look in his eye
he was shook , but the soldier refused to cry
he was thirteen and green, seen the whole scene
too young to understand to old to intervene
so i’m lying here ,dying, trying his year
telling him he has to act like he just don’t care (yeah)
retaliate when hate is in the air
and demonstrate the might of his holy warfare , see we in a world where nobody really cares and [?] caviate the carriers that everything is fair
he couldn’t hear but i think it was clear
because he watched me with a look of no doubt and no fear
when the years p-ss -ssemble the m-sses
take off your mask and put on your gl-sses
so you can see the hand of brutality that that wants to feed you but struck me
see i had to dodge but they really couldn’t *blank* with me, but they don’t that this is much more than me
you after my father before me , fought like a mighty moor to ensure liberty
its your culture , so be very very clear that yours is the voice that nobody wants to hear
some unforgettably too petrified to vivify and live a full till they die so
don’t be quiet , watch your diet
study everything around you and then apply it
if you have an idea try it
if you don’t wanna b-boy don’t buy it ‘cos it’s a lie
see we, the greatest power in the world curled up like a fetus with a defeatist attitude
agreed to mistreat us and they will beat us until they eat us or until they no longer need us

yo this is the story of the setting sun
getting sent to p-ss wisdom onto the son (x3) [chorus]

outro:

so this is a follow up till like sun up to sun down
the same story the same just told from a different perspective
and like that split second between
when the father is is getting ready to die
and the son sees his father die
this is all the communication going on
between a dying man and a young child
and they don’t even have words between each other but it’s that unspoken heard ,know ‘am saying ?
that thing that you hear that doesn’t even have to be said
know ‘am saying? setting sun
i’m out
