i look into your eyes and all i see
is dumb mother fucker blindsided by reality
no thoughts of your own succumbing to the pressure
a shared bond broken will forever be remembered
never
yours
to
hold
this x was never yours to hold
you scream into the void, hoping someone hears you
time to the face the facts that you just never had it in you
you have no convictions, no mind of your own
and that’s why this x was never yours to hold
Wonderful dramatic opening, the voice of a black woman in all her honesty, vulnerability and openess. And then one of the fiercest tracks of Zulu, total hardcore: 'Now they are through with me', full of twists and turns, and suddenly ending in a kind of soul-track, brilliant! This is 21st century music at it's best. The end lecture is dramatic and disturbing, spoken again by a black woman. Makes you think. Hesperus
