the jonestown express - ka'ba (spoken word) [q219] lyrics
[intro]
“ka’ba” by amiri baraka
[verse]
a closed window looks down on a dirty courtyard
and black people call across, or walk across, or scream across
defying physics in the stream of their will
our world is full of sound
our world is more lovely than anyone’s
though we suffer and k!ll each other
and sometimes fail to walk the air
we are beautiful people with african imaginations
full of masks, eyes, arms, and noses
though we sprawl in gray chains
in a place full of winters, when what we want is sun
we have been captured, brothers
and we labor to make our getaway
into the ancient image
into a new correspondence with ourselves and our black family
now we need magic, now we need the spells
to rise up, return, destroy, and create
what will the sacred words be?
