Haiku D'Etat's a poetry takeover
Haiku D'Etat's a poetry takeover
Haiku D'Etat's a poetry takeover
Haiku D'Etat
Our genre is in a state of Johnny-come-late
Awkward armor won't tear the skin off a cherry harmless
Can't scrape the surface of a grape snake charmers
Raking in an alarming great bad karma
Bait for entrapment warning wait before debate dharma
Find your own style, warm up, practice, rehearse
Tune in to what's booming soon a verse
Will match a track that hits worth the while
To develop your own pocket for rap tricks
Their organization will collapse quick stylistic
The current so-called aristocracy of the
Underground and mainstream have a vacuum
People were taken from home and culture
Poachers stole our beliefs and wardrobe no closure
Suppressed the music, enthusing school
Abusive unless you were privileged
But hip-hop found a way over the inner city village
What happened to the days of climbing charts and reading them too?
What we need to do is be more haiku to determine who'll rule
Intelligence is raiding
Ignorance is fading
Dignity
Haiku D'Etat's a poetry takeover
Path that we are paving
Road that we are taking
Integrity
Haiku D'Etat's a poetry takeover
Community educating
Woman and man relating
Unity
Haiku D'Etat's a poetry takeover
Legislature changing
Because of demonstrating
Victory
Haiku D'Etat's a poetry takeover
When the time comes where the art is in the hearts of the people
They'll take you and keep you away from these evils
But 'til then you're subject to the burning of the churches
The books and the artwork and the findings to the searches
Blackball of the music, controlling of the air waves
Hoping for a clear way when it's crowded on the fairway
Blocked up at the entrance, locked up at the exit
