DrumLanguage Ayinsko

…this started as a workout, but spirits kept loud talkin all in my ear. I decided to submit again…

forces out here
proscribing folks’ existence
telling you who you should be
runnin round talkin bout: get like me

thing is,
we have the power to flip they whole demo
reject the false lights & reach down
deep inside for our own spark
mimic the sun & come back on ‘em
manman’m tap di mwen: bayo limyè w
my ancestors avenged the new world
dis generation can avenge the whole world
mwe got that fire

There are a few real fronts out here these days
One of these is food.
There are multiple registers of sovereignty
In this consumptive world system
A free people must needs feed themselves

You are now attuned to Drumlanguage

I pray you will be both
moved & fed
