Gil Scott-Heron - Shah Mot (The Shah Is Dead / Checkmate) lyrics

My name is what's your name I am the voice of sane Remembering things that I told me yesterday My name is what's your name I am inside your frame We saw the devils, Had to make them go away My name is what's your name You may reject my claim But I expect that you won't vary from it long My name is what's your name Ours is a single aim And we can double recognize in need of form (?) Take it to the street Tell everybody you meet You do whatever, you do whatever you feel the wardrum beat Put it in the air, Spit it everywhere You do whatever you do whatever, you know you got to be there Shah mot! You only take it as a symbol Look closely, who does it resemble? My name is what's your name If you recall the change Then you can dig that we've been put into a trance My name is what to do I am inside of you I've been here ever since the day you learned to stand My name is what's your name Born on the wings of strain Ours is a justice that has long been overdue My name is what to do But we already knew And now the clouds are wearing how come to view (?) Shah mot! Take it to the street Tell everybody you meet You do whatever, you do whatever you feel the wardrum beat Shah mot! Put it in the air, Spit it everywhere You do whatever you do whatever, you know you got to be there Shah mot! You only take it as a symbol (Shah mot!) Look closely, who does it resemble? My name is what's your name I am the voice of sane Remembering things that I told me yesterday My name is what's your name I am inside your frame We saw the devils, Had to make them go away Shah mot! Take it to the street Tell everybody you meet You do whatever, you do whatever you feel the wardrum beat Shah mot! Put it in the air, Spit it everywhere You do whatever you do whatever, you know you got to be there Shah mot! You only take it as a symbol Look closely, who does it resemble? [repeat]
