00:00Hey, my name is Lindok Uushe Kosh Mashega.
00:03I'm South African and I'm a word expressionist.
00:07Society calls me a poet.
00:24The storms of our forefathers' bones will tremble upon every young one of them.
00:30Like the footsteps of an injured elephant stuck in your lazy damn pockets.
00:35Tsunami will asia its way to your minds and preach death upon your black conscious
00:40like the demean out of your politicians' mouths.
00:44They will seek your original philosophies.
00:47And out of the lungs of your toes you will send nothing.
00:50Because what you thought outlined you is traced back to their footprints,
00:54so blueprints are never better than duplicates, so fight this.
00:59You do not know what the hell you are nor about.
01:02Because our perceptions and behaviors have become crutches in our lives.
01:06The day we were conceived, our DNA was encrypted in our bloody body and veins.
01:11How dare our names be of doubt?
01:14When we are the thresholders of change, we spit fire.
01:18And the arson of governance bows down to our shade.
01:21Light has already been obtained.
01:23We are free now.
01:25How so weird, old young man.
01:28Who knows not of dog bites and your movement measured by the color of your skin.
01:33The world is your oyster.
01:34It is purposely eaten by the hands of the privileged.
01:37When lost did you check your worth?
01:40Build self-construction and self-identity.
01:43What is the struggle of now?
01:45They are done with Gweda's generation.
01:47If itos could score, fees could fall.
01:50Covered in bigos blood, where else could we go wrong?
01:53Take back your pride.
01:55Build stop nonsensees the size of our incog rights.
01:59Live the indisposable promises made on top of dead black people.
02:04Build tables over voices that were supposed to protect us, but now fail to serve us when they see us.
02:13They see fading corpses.
02:16I will not be sunk as my ancestors long before our arrival.
02:21Forgotten manuscripts as lost diction.
02:24Oxford misconstrued Timbuktu.
02:28Didn't you remember Mansa?
02:31Musa.
02:33Wait to metric gold in the mind.
02:38The lies that bind are missing chapters.
02:41Painted perspectives.
02:43Glance to downtrodden sight.
02:47Elevate with two steps.
02:49Elevate with two steps.
02:52Your soul carries more truth than ancient stars.
02:58We always remember your elemental form.
03:02The cosmos lives within your skin.
03:07My head has been up since Malcolm X seized.
03:12You're the falseness of our identity to loosen your disrespect.
03:22My fate has always been to breathe underwater.
03:23Anticipation of breath is odd.
03:24Move within the stitches of time.
03:32Labor traded as diminished day.
03:33Hollow, hollow, hollow points.
03:34Lights lives in our songs.
03:35We breathe songs everywhere.
03:37There is an enchantment to our names.
03:40When they want to silence us.
03:42They bend their knees down our throats.
03:45They bend their knees down our throats.
03:47Metamorphosis.
03:48Metamorphosis.
03:50We come back as anything.
03:51You will not end us.
03:52We come back as anything.
03:53You will not end us.
03:55That was...
03:56You will not end us.
03:58That was...
04:00Black child pride.
04:01We need to fix that sin.
04:02We need to fix that sin.
04:03We need to fix that sin.
04:05Such a sin being black.
04:06silence us.
04:08They bend their knees
04:10down our throats.
04:12Metamorphosis.
04:14We come back as
04:16anything. You will not
04:18end us.
04:23That was
04:24black child pride.
04:27We need to fix
04:28that sin.
04:30Such a sin being black.
04:33The next
04:34piece is called Ubo.
04:36Gana.
04:39Ubo.
04:40Enter them.
04:43Infiltrate.
04:45Go in.
04:47Don't be shy.
04:49You're okay.
05:06Take pride and insult it
05:09with the best description
05:10of fulfilled.
05:12Inherit a listen between
05:13signs of sealed prayers.
05:16Take your fears to the
05:17reality of your fight.
05:19Love yourself bare and dusty.
05:21Love yourself bare and dusty.
05:22Release the lioness to practice.
05:24I'm not scared anymore.
05:27This is me.
05:28Unapologetic and ready.
05:30No one can save you.
05:32May the galaxies fulfill its dreams upon all.
05:36I chose me.
05:37There's never been a better time
05:39to live than now.
05:40The rise of any phoenix is a revolution
05:52waiting to be set alight.
05:54I know the honor of truth now.
05:56Imitanda zoka mama
05:58I sange ya pepuka.
06:00Ising me something
06:00komba ngapambi ini.
