Black Fist Cafe (Interlude) - Raheem DeVaughn, The Colleagues

My colleagues be my hits men on every occasion

Standing over me like knights over the globe

I’m the world inhabitable pen prodigy

Pulp like steep, yet condemned when I bleed

But look at me

A woman in a skin the whole world need

The seventies in my hair

The nineties in my futuristic flare

Wearing googles with a twenty-twenty vision

Mind by the grace of precision of a black woman’s decision to be great in her

hair

Undrwater living

I breathe and blood into birth giving

A gambling huff, a roll of th dice

I can reincarnate again and again and still choose black twice

Check my shoulders

Look at the skyline across the bridge of my chest

«What's going on?»

Marvin asked first

Raheem redeem the cords of the quest

These countless hurts ain’t just a rehearsal

They want us to see death

Like the epidemy of birth

Our tears may stand the concrete of our stare

But they’ll be the river for this world forever

Shed some

And when you’re done

Watch the world you’ve birth

Grow

Grow

Grow

You’re listening to WDMG 69.1

Wanna give thanks for that

Delightful insightful

Spoken words by Ra Brown

For that Black Fist moment

And now for you’re listening pleasure

The new soul era presents

The rhythm and blues Colleagues quartet
