La Femme Fatal

(Butterfly)
it was 8:49 on a beautiful ninth day of july
there was not a cloud to speak of
so the orange sun hung lonely in the sky
i lay prone in my cabby home
thinking of fine nappy jackie and his jazz cats horn
sliding in a tape of bird on verve when suddenly rang my phone
hey butterfly the voice said
slip on some duds
comb out your fro
and slide on down to my pad
the vibe here is very pleasant
and i truley request your presence
a problem of great magnitude has arose
and as we speak it grows
damn what could it be i thought
a juice i bought
and rolled on down to her spot
same bros i knows slapping fives i arrived and pressed g5
and there was nikki
looking some kind of sad with tears falling from her eyes
she sat me down
and dug my frown
and began to run it down
you remember my boyfriend sid that fly kid who i love
well our love was often a verb
and spontaneity has brought a third
but due to our youth and economic state
we wish to terminate
about this we don’t feel great
but baby thats how it is
but the feds have dissed me
they ignored and dismissed me
the pro-lifers harassed me outside the clinic
and called me a murderer
now thats hate
so needless to say we’re in a mental state of debate
hey beautiful bird i said
digging her somber mood
the fascists are some heavy dudes
they don’t really give a damn about life
they just don’t want a woman to control her body
or have the right to choose
but baby that ain’t nothin
they just want a male finger on the button
because if you say war
they will send them to die by the score
aborting mission should be your volition
but if souter and thomas have their way
you’ll be standing in line unable to get welfare
while they’ll be out hunting and fishing
it has always been around
it will always have a niche
but they’ll make it a privilege not a right
accessible only to the rich
hey pro-lifers need to dig themselves
because life don’t stop after birth
and for a child born to the unprepared
it might even just get worse
the situation would surely change
if they were to find themselves in it
supporters of the h-bomb
and fire bombing clinics
what type of shit is that?
orwellian in fact
if roe v. wade was overturned
would not the desire remain in tact
leavin young girls to risk their healths
doctors to botch
and watch
as they kill themselves
now i hate to sound macabre
but hey isn’t it my job
to lay it on the masses
and get them of their asses
to fight against these fascists
so whatever you decide
make that move with pride
sid will be there and so will i
an insect till i die

rhythms and sounds
spinning around
confrontations
across the nation
your block
my block
dreadlocks
what a shock
land of the free
but not me
not me
not me
not me
not me
not me
not me
not me
not me
not me
