the total thrust is global justice - Drew Dellinger

[Larry Robinson]

the total thrust is global justice





The total thrust is

global justice

so we gotta fix the politics

and put a check upon its economics

or before you know it, a warrior-poet

may try to upend the

corporate agenda that's

got 'em blind to the real bottom line.

It's intense when you sense the only interests

on the docket

are fat cats with Republi-Crats

in their pocket.

It's crooked now

just look at how

the pundits are funded.

They're devious at CBS and, yes,

they'll choose the news that fits the script unless

I play tricks on the matrix.

(In case you can't guess shit,

I'm not to be messed with.)

The folks know my art form

comes straight from the heart for 'em.

A lyrical storm that departs from the norm

and transforms as I'm giving

rhymes for the minds in the times that we live in.

I can't hang with the anguish

and I don't want my language to languish

'cause there ain't nothing like Drew's

hip hop haikus

I got a mandate

to disturb

the urban landscape.



We got tyrannies

right here in these

States,

and you never know

when they'll go

right back to some tactics

like COINTELPRO.

If we could see through the lies

see how they brutalize

and get cops

to beat speech in the streets

and guard sweatshops.

I'm ending these industries.

Please can we factor the

effect of the

trajectory?

This whole place is racist

and sexist from North

Dakota down to Texas

with the twenty-first century's

youth in penitentiaries

and the night never seemed this dark

but now half of the stars

are behind prison bars.

Oh say can you see?

But if we can dream a new day it may be.

You had to know the baddest bro

with the phattest flow would shake up the status quo

with my adjectives and adverbs and ad libs.

Like Gandhi

protest is my modus operandi.

It's like Malcolm and Martin's

evolution with art

and revolution

'cause the total thrust is

global justice.
