I saw you from across the room and I already had plans for you

Visions of your sweat dampened body as I lie back and enjoy the view

I catch your eye and your reply...a smile to let me know you're down

If you only knew my plans for you have only started to become unwound

I introduce myself and take your hand, caressing as I bring you in

After some drinks, some conversation, our journey is about to begin

Bass dissipates as we leave this place, eagerly anticipating the next

Back at my place, I caress you face, can't wait to get you undressed

De ja vu, my vision come true, as sweat trickles down your chest

As you climb on top, I'm inside of you; I lie back and caress your breast

Drawn out seconds turn to longer minutes, pain runs into pleasure

You arch your back with every thrust as I pillage this treasure

Climax has come, and come again, utterly exhausted we embrace

If you knew then, what you know now, you would have quickly left this place

Time goes by, memories of that night you try to block from your mind

That was the night when we first met and forever became entwined

It wasn't until that fateful day; you became aware, with the results of a

simple test

Couldn't resist my charm, chose to be forever on my arm, rather than

practise safer sex

Moray

On the tongues of millions, in the hearts of generations

You've been responsible for liberating many oppressed nations

You studied repatriation with Garvey, fought in Cuba with Che

Inspired Robert Nestor Marley, you were his motivation to play

Malcolm and Martin had different views on how to court you

Both died martyrs for civil rights, in this fight trying to explore you

You are the only enemy of oppression, sister of Knowledge and Truth

The only way to change the fruit is to pull the system by the root

You guided Toussaint when his people screamed in pain

And because of you Haiti still remembers his name

You enlighten poets and scholars, you empower emcees

I count Dead Prez, Common, Mos and Talib among these

For all the years of hatred, oppression and intrusion

My people across the map scream for one thing...REVOLUTION!!!
