Where Is The Raised Voice Of Black

My Formative Years, Until I Was 12, Was All Shaped By Jamaican Culture, By That Economy, By The People In My Family, Who Are Agriculturalists, Who Were Plantation Workers, Who Harvested Those Crops And Took Them Down To The Boats Run By The United Food Company, To Load Those Ships At Night, Hence All The Songs That I Sing That Come From That Environment.

Fascism Is Fascism. Terrorism Is Terrorism. Oppression Is Oppression.

You Can Be Arrested And Not Charged. You Can Be Arrested And Have No Right To Counsel.

I Am Who I Am Despite What America Has Put Before Me. I Am Who I Am Despite The Obstacles That We Have All Faced Based Upon Race And Based Upon Social And Spiritual Humiliation.
