A few lovely poems from the ITO members...
DA REVOLUTION
At the crest of the cliff
I stand with a raised fist
up in the air
ITO just doesn't care
leaders of the new revolution
let there be no confusion
who holds the candle to the flame
mofuckah we have no shame
ruthless in intent
savage by design
ITO rocks da house
and walks a fine line,
between genious and insanity...
we don't need no profanity
to express our point of view
or need to look coo
for da white masses
and their fat asses
we proclaim our way
on this day
that the flame shall never die
that ain't no lie
the revolution is coming so
and da ITO will keep burning! Keeep burning
FOR THE LOVE OF GAP
when the day becomes the night
and the night becomes day
I heard my love sing to the wind
chu' say? chu' say?
in the fields of gold
succumbing to eternal bliss
I heard my love sing
wha' chu is? wha' chu is?
in the garden of eden
as we tasted the golden honey of the bees
my love sang to me
is u leaves? is u leaves?
in he vinyards of olympus
where the grapes grow succulent and fat
my love proclaimed
lu' dat! lu' dat!
and as we lay down to bed
my love sweetly sang
aint no thang,
but a chicken wang
IZ
Be what
you iz
cuz if
you be
what you
ain't
then you
ain't what
you iz.
GAP
A friend of a gap
Is a gap of a friend.
2000
As we draw nearer to two-triple zero
let us not forget our Zulu brethren
who have given their lives
so we can enjoy this night
Go back to da ghetto!!!!
