[00:10.529]It was 8:49 on a beautiful ninth day of July
[00:13.781]There was not a cloud to speak of, so the orange sun hung
[00:18.222]Lonely in the sky
[00:19.627]I lay prone in my cavi home
[00:21.787]Thinking of fine nappy Jackie and his jazzcat's horn
[00:24.707]Sliding in a tape of Bird on Verve, when suddenly rang my phone
[00:28.329]"Hey, Butterfly," the voice said
[00:31.537]"Slip on some duds, comb out your fro and slide on down to my pad
[00:34.206]The vibe here is very pleasant, and I truly request your presence
[00:40.348]A problem of great magnitude has arose
[00:44.435]And as we speak it grows"
[00:45.595]"Damn, what could it be?" I thought
[00:47.218]A juice I bought and rolled on down to her spot
[00:50.368]Seeing bros I know, slapping fives I arrived and pressed G-5
[00:54.591]And there was Nikki
[00:55.646]Lookin' some kind of sad with tears fallin' from her eyes
[00:59.347]She sat me down, and dug my frown and began to run it down
[01:03.721]"You remember my boyfriend Sid, that fly kid who I love?
[01:07.249]Well, our love was often a verb and spontaneity has brought a third
[01:11.946]But due to our youth and economic state, we wish to terminate
[01:16.042]About this we don't feel great, but baby, that's how it is
[01:19.564]But the feds have dissed me
[01:21.263]They ignored and dismissed me
[01:22.968]The pro-lifers harass me outside the clinic
[01:25.620]And call me a murderer, now that's hate
[01:28.501]So needless to say, we're in a mental state of debate"
[01:30.963]"Hey, beautiful bird", I said, digging her somber mood
[01:36.106]"The fascists are some heavy dudes
[01:38.420]They don't really give a damn about life
[01:41.414]They just don't want a woman to control her body
[01:43.552]Or have the right to choose
[01:46.133]But baby that ain't nothin'
[01:48.093]They just want a male finger on the button
[01:50.579]Because if you say war, they will send them to die by the score
[01:55.081]Aborting mission should be your volition
[01:57.893]But if Souter and Thomas have their way
[02:00.255]You'll be standing in line unable to get Welfare while they'll be out hunting and fishing
[02:05.037]It has always been around, it will always have a niche
[02:10.030]But they'll make it a privilege, not a right
[02:12.485]Accessible only to the rich
[02:14.953]Hey, pro-lifers need to dig themselves
[02:17.015]Because life doesn't stop after birth
[02:19.174]And for a child born to the unprepared
[02:21.781]It might even just get worse
[02:24.536]The situation would surely change, if they were to find themselves in it
[02:28.887]Supporters of the H-bomb and fire-bombing clinics
[02:34.333]What type of shit is that? Orwellian, in fact
[02:38.773]If Roe v. Wade was overturned, would not the desire remain intact
[02:43.451]Leaving young girls to risk their healths
[02:46.832]Doctors to botch, and watch as they kill themselves?
[02:50.904]Now, I hate to sound macabre
[02:52.750]But hey, isn't it my job
[02:54.900]To lay it on the masses and get them off their asses
[02:58.536]To fight against these fascists?
[03:01.781]So, whatever you decide, make that move with pride
[03:04.947]Sid will be there and so will I
[03:07.868]An insect 'til I die ('Til I die)
[03:13.266]Rhythms and sounds
[03:15.193]Spinning around
[03:18.022]Confrontations
[03:20.036]Across the nation
[03:22.281]Your block, my block
[03:23.889]Dreadlocks
[03:24.995]What a shock
[03:26.657]Land of the free
[03:28.278]But not me, not me
[03:32.650]Not me, not me
[03:37.383]Not me, not me
[03:42.017]Not me, not me
[03:46.556]Not me, not me
[04:00.049]The mind is time, the mind is space
[04:03.207]A horn rush, a bass flush for minds to taste
[04:04.670]Hey, what's happening?
[04:06.541]Insects causing fun
[04:07.508]Ninety-three million miles away from the sun
[04:10.381]New grooves, show and prove
[04:14.069]It's the move (The move)
[04:15.982]Funky songs, but let me not prolong
[04:19.528]So check it out
[04:25.746]The mind is time, the mind is space
[04:26.466]A horn rush, a bass flush for minds to taste
[04:27.966]The mind is time, the mind is space
[04:29.997]A horn rush, a bass flush for minds to taste
[04:32.477]The mind is time, the mind is space
[04:34.007]A horn rush, a bass flush for minds to taste
