Oh Mr Sentinel *****, you *** with the bullwhip and echo tongue For four hundred years they had your fathers and mothers toiling the sugar and cotton fields no better than oxen and horses They were all beasts together without rights or gain All you knew was what Babylonians put in your heads Your perceptions are nothing but that of a slave As bright as those of the oxen and ***** That were your mates
Now you sit here thinking you're Bob Marley without stringed guitar you may have a pen in hand but nothing much has changed what you call a brain is just a dusty mirror from ***** in the Plantation mansion you are just the *** overseer who gives your *** to ***** at night payment for echoing his words and ******* a **** on Saturday Who are you really but a mindless carcass with no class Your momentum comes from ***** and is ***** it's 21st century and you are still a Sentinel on the cotton fields
You come cracking your bullwhip talking trash your ****** *** still has a ten dollar price tag hanging off it the mixed blood of your ancestors fight for dominance in vain four hundred years of slavery and you're still in chains mind asleep there's freedom in the sun whether in tropics or in snow town freedom is a mind unchained to *****'s bulls and stunted **** Show me the freedom of a ******* Sentinel the mottafucker chicken Go find your ******* radicals and do your worst, how did yourΒ Β pimping go in Liverpool. or where you too busy spinning your **** in Birmingham Alabama.
