black boy
lost in the dust
and found in the heavens
you understand what i’m saying?
that your destiny is in eternity
you never were originated
and you’ll never be destroyed
your destiny is with the people of the earth
who came out of you
and now they are returning
so does your job to prepare yourself
for what is to come
what is past is past
but it’ll last forever
because it prepared for you
the future that you have before you
when i was a little boy in mississippi
we sang every morning when we went to school
and i could feel the energy of all my students
we enjoyed school so much
because we sang every morning before we started
at sundawn we would play a game called “hide and seek”
and in that game
one person would say this riddle
last night, night before, 24 robbers at my door
i got up, and let ’em in
hit ’em in the head with a rolling pin
and then we could go
and seek out the first person we could find hiding
and that person became it
and then they would go and sing
last night, night before, 24 robbers at my door
i got up, and let ’em in
hit ’em in the head with a rolling pin
now, when i was maybe 30, something
i looked up at the stars one night
and it startled me because i felt something
and no one told me that the stars have feelings
and so it took me out of the world that we were all
sequested in
and it allowed me to go on to the world of eternity
and i’ve been there now, 50 years coming
and it’s taught me
this, rolling pin gives us that authority
because it is the only symbol in the hands of orion
in ancient egypt, archimid
it was called a scroll
in the bible, in the fourth and fifth chapter of the revelation
it’s called a man with a book in his hands
but we found out it was the rolling pin that we were talking about
the 24 robbers are the 24 stars surrounding the constellation called orion
and so, i got up, and let ’em in
means that he crossed the milky way
which is the galaxy that we are part of
and i hit ’em in the head with a rolling pin
meant that, in that rolling pin is the knowledge of our eternity
i think that, it’s what it means to be a black boy
to be lost, to be envious, and selfish
to be misguided and confused
but, somehow, to realize, that you’re the whole package
and it’s your responsibility to find your eternity on this earth
