It's A Trip - The Last Poets[00:00:00]

Written by：Suliaman El Hadi[00:00:00]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:00:00]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:00:04]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:00:08]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:00:12]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:00:16]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:00:20]

Away from the milling masses[00:00:24]

Filth vermin and gases[00:00:28]

Muggings thuggings near naked bodies as they go marching past[00:00:32]

Shamming at modesty in miniskirt mask[00:00:36]

And it's a trip stay far away far away[00:00:39]

Yes it's a trip stay far away far away[00:00:43]

From the screaming and cussin'[00:00:47]

From the gambling and hustlin'[00:00:49]

From the nodding and the fussin'[00:00:51]

From the confusion of integration[00:00:53]

And segregation[00:00:58]

Amidst the cries of let's build a nation[00:01:02]

Separation y'all separation y'all[00:01:06]

Separation separation[00:01:10]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:01:14]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:01:18]

Yes I trip to escape the environmental rape[00:01:21]

The industrial waste in the rivers and lakes[00:01:25]

The mad mad race for the vastness of space[00:01:29]

The clamour and fuss to quicken the pace[00:01:33]

The hypocrites' call of justice for all[00:01:37]

Though this cannot be for people like me[00:01:40]

There's no place for the poor y'all in this society[00:01:44]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:01:48]

There's no place for the poor y'all in this society[00:01:52]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:01:56]

So I trip and I flee from the things that I see[00:01:59]

Yes I trip and I flee from this brand of liberty[00:02:03]

Yes I trip and I flee so perhaps for a moment[00:02:07]

I might be free free free[00:02:11]

I might be free free free[00:02:12]

And it's a wish I could stay far away far away[00:02:14]

Yes it's a trip stay far away far away[00:02:18]

Yes I split with my mind through the passage of time[00:02:22]

Back when men were still men and the sisters were fine[00:02:26]

And a man had a friend and a man had allah[00:02:30]

And a man had some land and a faith to defend[00:02:33]

Back in time before men were deceived by the jinn[00:02:37]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:02:41]

Back in time before men were deceived by the jinn[00:02:44]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:02:48]

But Alas I come back to the real to the fact[00:02:52]

Being poor being black being under attack[00:02:56]

Being under attack for just being black[00:02:59]

Being under attack for just being black[00:03:03]

Being under attack for just being black[00:03:07]

Being under attack and that is a fact[00:03:11]

And it's a trip could stay far away far away[00:03:14]

It's a trip stay far away far away[00:03:18]

Yes it's time we all took a real hard look[00:03:22]

At the lifestyles we have and the ones we forsook[00:03:25]

And our past and our present at the future we crave[00:03:29]

And at the things we encounter between the womb and the grave[00:03:33]

And what we must do and what must be saved[00:03:37]

And how we must struggle and how things will be[00:03:40]

When truth is revealed y'all and falsehood has died[00:03:44]

I wish I could stay far away far away[00:03:48]

When truth is revealed y'all and falsehood has died[00:03:51]

I wish I could stay far away far away[00:03:55]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:03:58]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:04:02]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:04:06]

From the witches and vampires that stalk me each day[00:04:09]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:04:13]

Far away from the hunter that makes me the prey[00:04:17]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:04:20]

Far away from the snare that they lay on the way[00:04:24]

How I wish I could stay far away far away[00:04:28]

For the soul is the prize in the game that they play[00:04:31]

For the soul is the prize in the game that they play[00:04:35]

For the soul is the prize in the game that they play[00:04:39]
