Saul Williams - Sha-Clack-Clack lyrics

If I could find the spot where truth echoes I would stand there and whisper memories of my children's future I would let their future dwell in my past So that I might live a brighter now Now is the essence of my domain and it contains All that was and will be And I am as I was and will be because I am and always will be That n***a I am that n***a I am that n***a I am that timeless n***a that swings on pendelums like vines Through mines of b**bytrapped minds that are enslaved by time I am the life that supersedes lifetimes, I am It was me with serpentine hair and a timeless stare That with immortal glare turned mortal fear into stone time capsules They still exist as the walking dead, as I do The original sufferhead, symbol of life and matriarchy Severed head Medusa, I am I am that n***a I am that n***a! I am that n***a!! I am a negro! Yes negro, negro from _necro_ meaning d**h I overcame it so they named me after it And I be spitting at d**h from behind And putting "Kick Me" signs on it's back Because I am not the son of Sha-Clack-Clack I am before that, I am before I am before before Before d**h is eternity, after d**h is eternity There is no d**h there's only eternity And I be riding on the wings of eternity Like HYAH! HYAH! HYAH! Sha-Clack-Clack But my flight doesn't go undisturbed Because time makes dreams defer And all of my time fears are turning my days into daymares And I live daymares reliving nightmares Of what taunted my past Sha-Clack-Clack, time is beatin my a** And I be havin dreams of chocolate covered watermelons Filled with fried chickens like pinatas With little pickaninny sons and daughters Standing up under them with big sticks and aluminum foil Hittin em, tryin to catch pieces of fallin fried chicken wings And Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben are standing in the corners With rifles pointed at the heads of the little children "Don't shoot the children," I shout, "don't shoot the children!" But they say it's too late They've already been infected by time But that sh** is before my time I need more time I need more time But it's too late They start shooting at children and k**ing them! One by one, two by two, three by three, four by four Five by five, six by six, but My spirit is growing seven by seven Faster than the speed of light Cause light only penetrates the darkness that's already there And I'm already there I'm here at the end of the road Which is the beginning of the road beyond time, but Where my n***as at? (Oh sh**!) Oh sh**, don't tell me my n***as got lost in time My n***as are dying before their time My n***as are serving unjust time My n***as are dying because of.. time
