Chester Whitmore #American #Dance #History
Ya neva know who you’ll meet! I ran into Chester after the #artwalk in #Downtown #LosAngeles at a afterparty. I came upon this video during a search on google which led me to youtube and a few other sources. In person Chester Whitmore is full of life despite his age which you can not guess only by appearance.
Simply titled: #Play dat shit while you read
Expanding my horizon back to my roots
Searching for new music and old truth
putting my ears in the dirt listening back in time
to the raw sound of Djembe’s congo’s before the rhyme
before my time I’m searching for something old but its new
to me cuz I grew up without my-story all I knew was his-story
all my life a sheep I was prepped to be
Disobedient, Deviant,Criminal and felon they labeled me
the corner, detention and jail is where they placed me
told me something was wrong with me misbehaving in their society
but I aint nothing but a Panther Wise to they trickory
also a Lion and I’m going to be free
as a man I do as I please
No longer a slave in my on mind chasing senseless dollars on the lonely
Ima turn this shit upside down and make a way so me and homeys aint gotta be hungry
NO MO!!!

TIMBUKTU the Origins of books, education, trade, expedition and the discovery of america
This is our story which is being rewritten with the depressing stories of our time in America. So enough with Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and all the others, you know that knowledge already; they were used as examples of what happens to those who rebel against the government as well John F.Kennedy because it’s not a racial battle anymore it’s all about the unplayable debt. Do more research on the West this is MY AFRIKAN HISTORY MONTH YA DIGG AND IF YOU DON’T I’LL BUY YOU A SHOVEL GOT DAMN.
