it was 8:49 on a beautiful 9th day of july   there was not a cloud to speak of so the orange sun hung   lonely in the sky   i was laying prone in my ?catbeat? home   listening to fine nappy jackie and his jazzcat's horn   sliding in a tape of bird on verve when suddenly rang my phone   hello butterfly a voice said   slip on some duds comb out your fro and slide on down to my pad   the vibe here is very pleasant and i truly request your presence   a problem of great magnitude has arose   and as we speak it grows   damn, what could it be i thought   a juice i bought and rolled on down to her pad   seeing bros i know slapping fives i arrived and pressed G-5   and there was nikki   lookin some kind of sad with tears fallin from her eyes   she sat me down   and dug my frown and began to run it down   "you remember my boyfriend sid that fly kid who i love   well our love was often a verb and spontaneity has brought a third   but do to our youth an economic state we wish to terminate   about this we don't feel great , but baby that's how it is   but the feds have dissed me   they ignore and dismiss   and the pro-lifers harrass me outside the clinic   and call me a murderer, now that's hate   so needless to say we're in a mental state of debate"   hey beautiful bird i said digging her somber mood   the fascists are some heavy dudes   they don't really give a damn about life   they just don't want a woman to   control her body or have the right to choose   but baby that ain't nothin   they just want a male finger on the button   because if you say war they will send them to die by the score   aborting mission should be your volition   but if souter and thomas have their way   you'll be standing in line unable to get welfare while they're out   hunting and fishing   it has always been around it will always have a niche   but they'll make it a privelege not a right   accessible only to the rich   pro-lifers should dig themselves   cause life doesn't stop after birth   and to a child borne to the unprepared   it might even just get worse   supporters of the h-bomb and fire bombing clinic   what type of shit is that? orwellian in fact   if roe v wade was overturned would not the desire remain intact   leaving young girls to risk their healths   and doctors to botch and watch as they kill themselves   i don't want to sound macabre   but hey, isn't it my job   to lay it on the masses and get them off their asses   to fight against these fascists   so whatever you decide make that move with pride   sid will be there (ladybug will be there, doodlebug will be there)   and so will i   an insect til i die   rhythms and sounds   spinning around   confrontations   across the nation   your block   my block   dreadlocks   what a shock   land of the free - but not   me
