Black Imagination from downCHANTS by MADlines

THE END IS NEAR!
Or the beginning
Yeah, I think it's the beginning
Yup Yup it's the beginning

I ain’t going back to normal
'Cause I’m ready for change
Rearrange the whole dynamic
People over profits
No more profits over planet
Normal was grinding
Normal was minding
My business as usual
But that’s delusional
It ain’t suitable
I like to dream like Yasiin
Let’s describe the inscrutable
I break cages in your brain
They tried to make us go insane
Said we couldn’t feel the pain
From Haiti to the JA
Worked to death - what’s a payday?

Oh that’s chocolate to rock with
In the cradle of humanity
My black imagination
Can never reach capacity
Fact is black is so rich
It's impossible mess with
That’s why I’m crying then I’m laughing
Like the griots in the Middle Passage
That's why I'm dancing then I'm resting
Gwan and tell the masses
Divided we're less strong like the Diaspora Wars
Twerk about it, dance about it, gwan and hit the floor
Our music they adore, dem naw ready to explore
Our thriving bodies and our souls so the truth gone get exposed!
'Cause I ain't going back to normal
