s.t.i.c.s - the story must be told lyrics

Loading...

the story must be told
the story must be told
the story must be told

but most politicians try to pull it by the roots, meaning we need to plant another seed, to protect and continue the legacy, of those ancient plantations

and i know that this is black chapter of our history
in many ways heart aching, but i am talking about the time before rosa parks had enough of baking in the back of the bus

the story must be told from a voice or a sound that inspires conscious souls!
i urge you to listen to the story while the story unfolds…

this is the tale about the ghosts! when there was no one to call the busters, so ”’who you gonna call?”

when you would walk into the streets and see brothers hanging in the streets
i mean you would literally walk into the streets and see brothers hanging in the streets… rest in leash from trees

what a strange fruit + billy holiday used to sing. today i say, what a strange seed to plant in your front lawn when it is bound to rot and infect all of your vegetables…especially your potatoes

there are people out there till this very day who still think it’s a shame that brothers no longer hang around in the streets like that
dangling with their feet like that
i mean dangling with defeat like that + hung by the sheets like that
no wonder martin luther king’s dream never came true when he only got the chance to pop pop… sleep like that
sometimes brothers rest in peace like that

the story must be told…
extraordinary back then was unheard. what they called militant revolution was not led by an army, one man or one word. actually it was just a letter …x

a strong reminder of justice, torture, pain, identity
hostage of the the motherland said by scientist to be the home of any other man

try to understand
that a nation
that a culture
that a people had to die to get you sugar in your tea!?

are you sure you want milk with that!?

and don’t even dare bring up fair+trade coffee, because i’ll shove that up your a++, so fast, that you’ll cough out the cup before defecating those coffee beans so neatly treated by child labor in your oh so precious 3rd world country!

wauw…well isn’t that great?

on top of robbing nation’s resources, ruining cultures, sn+tching lives, we still find the time to degrade others evolutionary status to 3rd world countries. because apparently there was a race, and this world just happened to turn out as 1st place

we
we do not realize the power of the written and the spoken word
we do not realize our obligation to maintain a proper everyday language
and so you see…

it doesn’t really matter what kind of democracy or dictatorship that you are from. whose son, star or moon you are, which kind of cartoons you draw, which color of the rainbow that your skin possesses or what you intended with your statement

because people…
people are still offended by your statement
the story must be told!
surely you understand why now…

let us refrain from these degrading terminologies!
let us call each other by names that we’ve been given by our beloved parents

…let us forgive
because this is supposed to be the battle of our ancestors and not between us

…but as we forgive, we must never + forget
which is why… the story… must be told
