Fela (Somehow I don​’​t think Charlie Parker would be quoting Goethe)

from with a moko jumbie & a persona of three. by Ripdae La Wise & Carl Yvan Prévil

lyrics

Carl: On peut oublier son passé et aller de l’avant. Des gens le font tous les jours. On peut se rappeler de son passé sans avancer. Des gens le font tous les jours. It’s possible to forget the past and go forward. Many people do it everyday. It’s possible to remember the past and be stuck. Many people do it everyday.

Chorus: Smuggin’ at the beast, & reaching for my weapon, if Babylon (babylan) fall (fahll), this target is a blessing. Signify mayhem, better not lose sleep. Signify mayhem, better not lose sleep. Smuggin’ at the beast, & reaching for my weapon, if Babylon (babylan) fall (fahll), this target is a blessing. Signify mayhem, better not lose sleep. Signify mayhem, better not lose sleep.

Verse: Rifle shooter, hittin’ targets, dead at winter, all these corpses, pillow talking as he hits ‘em, wars on ice, skate past salad bars for beef, watch ‘em splice, chop abominations with glee, I see an ending, bright for me, dark for you. Feeling threatened? Combat me as you end, taste the blood, it’s oozing out of my captions. My vivid pictures illustrate mutiny mutilation. Give us anarchy, we deserve transgressions, weaponizing weirdo eyes to expand human conditions. Kafka’s on a beach in spontaneous dreams, a shore calls to him, as I wake up to read.

Chorus: Smuggin’ at the beast, & reaching for my weapon, if Babylon (babylan) fall (fahll), this target is a blessing. Signify mayhem, better not lose sleep. Signify mayhem, better not lose sleep. Smuggin’ at the beast, & reaching for my weapon, if Babylon (babylan) fall (fahll), this target is a blessing. Signify mayhem, better not lose sleep. Signify mayhem, better not lose sleep.
