We all got our roots from *down South* here in the “use-us-eh” - from slave array. What you say? We be industrialized Detroit read, mowed down, philly bread, MOVED around trying to do better in a blue collar town like grandma said. Got our hair dyed & fried, fore our Nation got downsized with de smoke in our eyes, we didn't see the remix as a techno spell but we still be. Sun people. Southern folk. children of Punt/ Ptah's dark stars. No matter how far we wander. Or where we be so-called “living”. Our South is an inward direction.

Hey Kalamu;

Nuthin’ matters…but then again everything does. In this existence that we call life, things ain’t always literal. She/we /thee speak in meta4. Not babalonian babble. We make this borrowed tongue our own through Pun/ the P Fun(k).

Southern is the direction we hail from, back in our beginnings. We all got our roots from *down South* here in the “use-us-eh” - from slave array.

What you say?

We be industrialized
Detroit read, mowed down,
philly bread,
MOVED around
trying to do better
in a blue collar town
like grandma said.

Got our hair dyed & fried, fore our Nation got downsized
with de smoke in our eyes, we didn’t see the remix as a techno spell

but we still be.

Sun people. Southern folk. children of Punt/ Ptah’s dark stars. No matter how far we wander. Or where we be so-called “living”.

Our South is an inward direction. It’s home.

djenra,
southern girl, 2.

Me? Not Southern in the least, yet I manifest more than a few traits and ways that can be distinctly referenced as being carried genetically from my Southern (& transcontinental) connections. And how about a Hungarian giving the remix a gogo-like swing? Music is a universal language, indeed! Yes indeedy, from a DeeCee baybee who’s now taken temporary root in Illadelph, I’m feeling this.
