Whereas break beats have been the missing link

Connecting the Diasporic community to its drum woven past

Whereas the quantized drum has allowed the whirling

Mathematicians to calculate the ever changing distance

Between rock and stardom Whereas the velocity of the spinning vinyl

Cross faded, spun backwards and re-released

At the same given moment of recorded history

Yet at a different moment in times continuum

Has allowed history, to catch up with the present We do hereby declare reality unkempt by the changing

Standards of dialog, statements such as 'Keep it real'

Especially when punctuating or anticipating modes

Of ultra-violence inflicted psychologically or physically or depicting

An unchanging rule of events will hence forth be seen as retro-active

And not representative of the individually determined is Furthermore, as determined by the collective consciousness

Of this state of being and the lessened distance

Between thought patterns and their secular manifestations

The role of men as listening receptacles is to be increased by a number

No less than 70 percent of the current enlisted as vocal aggressors Motherfuckers better realize now is the time to self-actualize

We have found evidence that Hip Hops standard 85 RPM

When increased by a number as least half the rate of it's standard

Or decreased at three quarters of it's speed

May be a determining factor in heightening consciousness Studies show that when a given norm is changed in the face

Of the unchanging the remaining contradictions will parallel the truth

Equate rhyme with reason, sun with season, our cyclical relationship

To phenomenon has encouraged scholars

To erase the centers of periods thus symbolizing the non-linear

Character of 'cause and effect reject mediocrity Your current frequencies of understanding outweigh that

Which as been given for you to understand

The current standard is the equivalent

Of an adolescent restricted to the diet of an infant

The rapidly changing body would acquire dysfunctional

And deformative symptoms and could not properly mature

On a diet of apple sauce and crushed pears Light years are interchangeable with years of living in darkness

The role of darkness is not to be seen as or equated with ignorance

But with the unknown and the mysteries of the unseen

Those who burnt, those still aflamed and the countless unnamed We claim the present as the pre-sent, as the hereafter

We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun

We are not afraid of the darkness, we trust that the moon shall guide us

We are determining the future at this very moment

We now know that the heart is the philosophers' stone Our music is our alchemy, we stand as the manifested

Equivalent of three buckets of water and a hand full of minerals

Thus realizing that those very buckets turned upside down

Supply the percussion factor of forever, if you must count

To keep the beat then count Find you mantra and awaken your subconscious

Curve you circles counterclockwise, use your cipher to decipher

Coded Language, man made laws, climb waterfalls and trees

Commune with nature, snakes and bees let your children

Name themselves and claim themselves as the new day, for today We are determined to be the channelers of these changing

Frequencies into songs, paintings, writings, dance, drama

Photography, carpentry, crafts, love and love, we enlist every instrument

Acoustic, electronic every so called race, gender and sexual preference

Every person as beings of sound to acknowledge their responsibility

To uplift the consciousness of the entire *** world Any utterance unaimed will be disclaimed

Will be named Two Rappers Slain
