Slam movie - Sha-Clack-Clack lyrics

rate me

Song by Ray (actor Saul Williams)<br /><br>

If I could find the spot where truth echoes<br>

I would stand there and whisper memories of my children's future<br>

I would let their future dwell in my past<br>

so that I might live a brighter now<br>

Now is the essence of my domain and it contains<br>

all that was and will be<br>

And I am as I was and will be because I am and always will be<br>

that nigga<br>

I am that nigga<br>

I am that nigga<br>

I am that timeless nigga that swings on pendelums like vines<br>

through mines of boobytrapped minds that are enslaved by time<br>

I am the life that supersedes lifetimes, I am<br>

It was me with serpentine hair and a timeless stare<br>

that with immortal glare turned mortal fear into stone time capsules<br>

They still exist as the walking dead, as I do<br>

The original sulphurhead, symbol of life and matriarchy<br>

severed head Medusa, I am<br>

I am that nigga<br>

I am that nigga!<br>

I am that nigga!!<br>

I am a negro! Yes negro, negro from _necro_ meaning death<br>

I overcame it so they named me after it<br>

And I be spitting at death from behind<br>

and putting "Kick Me" signs on it's back<br>

because I am not the son of Sha-Clack-Clack<br>

I am before that, I am before<br>

I am before before<br>

Before death is eternity, after death is eternity<br>

There is no death there's only eternity<br>

And I be riding on the wings of eternity<br>

like HYAH! HYAH! HYAH! Sha-Clack-Clack<br>

but my flight doesn't go undisturbed<br>

Because time makes dreams defer<br>

And all of my time fears are turning my days into daymares<br>

And I live daymares reliving nightmares<br>

of what taunted my past<br>

Sha-Clack-Clack, time is beatin my ass<br>

And I be havin dreams of chocolate covered watermelons<br>

Filled with fried chickens like pinatas<br>

With little pickaninny sons and daughters<br>

standing up under them with big sticks and aluminum foil<br>

Hittin em, tryin to catch pieces of fallin fried chicken wings<br>

And Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben are standing in the corners<br>

with rifles pointed at the heads of the little children<br>

"Don't shoot the children," I shout, "don't shoot the children!"<br>

but they say it's too late<br>

They've already been infected by time<br>

But that shit is before my time<br>

I need more time<br>

I need more time<br>

But it's too late<br>

They start shooting at children and killing them!<br>

One by one, two by two, three by three, four by four<br>

Five by five, six by six, but<br>

my spirit is growing seven by seven<br>

Faster than the speed of light<br>

Cause light only penetrates the darkness that's already there<br>

and I'm already there<br>

I'm here at the end of the road<br>

which is the beginning of the road beyond time, but<br>

where my niggaz at? (Oh shit!)<br>

<br>

Oh shit, don't tell me my niggaz got lost in time<br>

My niggaz are dying before their time<br>

My niggaz are serving unjust time<br>

My niggaz are dying because of.. time<br>

<br>
