Heard this on the radio today and it gave me chills - goosebumps.  Mind of a Muslimah Amir Sulaiman: Danger
http://mindofamuslimah.blogspot.com/2009/04/amir-sulaiman-danger.htm I am not angry I am anger
I am not dangerous I am danger
I am abominable stress, Eliotic, relentless
I知 a breath of vengeance. I知 a death sentence
I知 forsaken repentance to the beast in his hench men
Armed forces and police men that survived off of oils and prisons until their cup runith over with lost souls
That wear over sized caps like blind folds
Shiny necklaces like lasso痴
Dragging them into black holes
And I may have to holla at Fidel Castro
To get my other brothers outta Guantanamo And the innocents on death row
Is probably in the same proportion as the criminals in black robes that
Smack gavels that
Smash homes that
Smack gavels that
Crack domes Justice is somewhere between reading sad poems
And 40 ounces of gasoline crashing through windows
Justice is between plans and action
Between writing letters to Congressmen and clapping the captain
Between raising legal defense funds
And putting a gun on the bailiff and taking the judge captive
It is between prayer and fasting
Between burning and blasting
Freedom is between the mind and the soul
It is between the lock and the load
Between the zeal of the young and the patience of the old
Freedom is between the finger and the trigger
It is between the page and the pen
Between the grenade and the pin
Between righteous anger and keeping one in the chamber
So what can they do with a cat with a heart like Turner
A mind like Douglas, a mouth like Malcolm, and a voice like Chris? And that is why I am not dangerous I am danger
I am not angry I am anger
I am abominable stress, illiotic relentless
I知 a breath of vengeance. I知 a death sentence
I知 forsaken repentance to the beast in his hench men
Armed forces and police men
I will slice his belly open and
Free
The souls of the Navajo
The souls of the Iroquois
The souls of the Ibo
The souls of the Scottsboro boys
The souls of great Black leaders
The souls of Kandahar and Baghdad
I burn my white and raise my black flag
To free the souls of the great black leaders
The souls in Attica
The piece of solace on the prison floor Until then I am not dangerous I am danger
I am not angry I am anger
I am abominable stress, illiotic relentless
I知 a breath of vengeance. I知 a death sentence
I知 forsaken repentance to the beast in his hench men
Politicians and big business men I知 a teenage Palestinian opening fire at an Israeli check point
Point blank
Checkmate
Now what! I am an inmate short shanked to the c-o
Earlobe to earlobe
Cut short
Case closed
Now what I am Sitting Bull with Coronal Custard痴 scalp in my hands
I am Senkay with a slave trader痴 blood in my hands
I am Jonathan Jackson handing a gun to my man
I am David with a sling shot and a rock
And if David lived today it would be a Molotov cocktail and a Glock
So I say down with Goliath
I say down with Goliath But we must learn, know, write, read
We must kick, bite, yell, scream
We must pray, fast, live, dream
Fight, kill, and die free IP: Logged |

Without compassion, you become the very Tyranny you stand against...  Its easy to spout bullsh!t like that when I'm not living in the west bank, nonetheless... I dunno, its just sad!

I'm not sure I know what you mean. I think his overall message was passionate and positive. & didnt hear too much spouting of bs. I happened to be scanning channels and this was just beginning. It caught my ear and I listened to it on the edge of my drivers seat....and made a mental note to look him up.Yes, different story when you are on stage somewhere, instead of living it. Could he be giving a voice to others...reaching a greater audience, ... for people that might never get a chance to scream and shout and be heard? I don't know. Perhaps he is closer to this, or it's more personal to him for reasons we don't realize. Sounds like a passionate poet/rapper to me. Nothing wrong with that. It can bring awareness to things that people don't want to pay attention to. I felt some strong heart-force behind what he had to say. It struck me.

It really does incite violence and the lyrics are very divisive. I don't really see anything positive or uplifting about the piece in the OP. I could see his point in the beginning, talking about corruption, but once he talked about violent acts, terrorizing others, and murdering people, e.g., "clapping" a captain, the thing about the gasoline (and calling that "justice"), the grenade, "lock and load", killing a judge, killing a baliff, killing police, burning the "white flag", and killing Israelis, and then comparing himself to historical figures, that is where it went too far for me. He lost me there. I could see his point up until that part. As I've said many a time, I dislike extremes. I don't find that sort of thing appealing. I also don't like those kinds of lyrics as a matter of personal taste. I dislike rap for similar reasons, especially since those lyrics are often disrespectful of women and contain a lot of swearing. ** Also, I looked up his pages (found through Google), to see where he was from so as to see his POV. Apparently, he's from New York. I also don't see what this has to do with "divine diversities". I think that it would be better suited to Aquarius Rising. IP: Logged | |
