10. Soledad Brothers
Soledad Brothers by Professor A.L.I.
You say gun, I say pistola
Pistola, Tupac Amaru, Cibola
You say gun, I say pistola
Pistola, Tupac Amaru Cibola
Historical vernacular, modern griot captures
Uncle Sam taxes, Latin People massacres
Leaders Sado-Masochists, bandages for damages
Brandish bag of canibus, shackle cat with manacles
Just amateurs, avoidin’ battles with management
Antagonists in arena, we’re Maximus with dragon spit
Pigs: flashin on our images, like Cameras
Flights: searchin baggages, raghead averages
Wiretaps with GPS, trackin then, baggin heads–
Slit neck Draculas, habeus corpus banishment
We variables, products of Afrocentric Algebra
Quarantine us savages, took rap, now they ravage us
Hip hop, toast on cartilage, Pop! vacating cabbages
Our poetry: advantages, messages many languages
Atticus, Spanish with, secret ink that vanishes
Bottle up our anguish then Molotov Los Angeles!?
