Original Emancipation lyrics

Is it a reality or is it a dream?

2 your sprit eye say eye love u in spite of my slavery

We're both 2 blame 4 this lesson in life
cuz this is the path we chose

eye'm sure eye knew u long ago

Look in your soul-it knows

And eye would never claim more righteous
Dare Napoleon and Hitler see

It depends on who u ask my friend
eye love u do u love Me?

How will history sing my brother?
What song will our children teach?

The Emancipation Proclamation is well within our reach

Tear dow the walls that make us bicker
4 many years eye fought your war

One stroke of your pen could conquer
Every sin our actions bore

Eye implore the goodness thats in all of us
An example we now must set

4 when this life is over
What U be is what U get

The Dawn is coming!
The Dawn is coming!

Acknowledge and save us all
Free my people 2 bring the message

Heed the call! Heed the call!

And this song from every mountain top
Every child will surely teach

The Emancipation Proclamation
Is well witin our reach
Eye love U do U love me?

I´ve been asking for these lyrics for years now, and most ppl on the org wouldn´t even believe me that they exist. Orger Lovemachine once told me in a previous thread that the lyrics were printed on a flyer that was given out during one of those Paisley parties in the 90´s.They were also printed in the defunct fanzine The Continental from the Netherlands.
" I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?"
