Sorrow Tears & Blood c/o Fela Kuti

Person A:

That’s a good reference point too.. You had Maya Angelou in Ghana as an activist and artist, and the highlight of her decade was her time with Malcolm

Person B:

60s man, niggas back in the fits but not really with the shits yet

Where the Malcolms

Person A

Where?!

We (think we) got too much to lose.. As Fela said, ‘I want enjoy, I no wa go’

Person B:

Hmm it’s wild, I need to tap in with Fela

I feel like he’s back in the zeitgeist but idk if folks really hearing him like that

Person A:

Right, the culture appropriates worse than the vultures sometimes.. I feel good about an awakening coming tho, they got us fucked up right now

Person B:

That’s a bar. A sad unfortunate bar.

I too feel good about the awakening underway

Gonna do my part to agitate it

Person A:

!!

Disturb the already disturbed peace
