Their World and Silent Cycle of Self-Enslavement
You are born into their world. Your parents are forced to register you and soon finger-print you so that they can control your movements and determined your worth. If your parents were not economically secure enough to have you, then your arrival has enslaved your parents even more to take a loan or spend money they are yet to earn. Food, drink, shelter all costs because they have placed economic value on the land that they have stolen, yet if your parents try to steal it back, they will enforce their law (which is based on land ownership rights or possession onto the very people they stole the land from).
If your parents were born into their twisted biblical philosophy of “go forth and multiply”, coupled with the self-hate enforced on them by colonialism, slavery, apartheid, etc, they are ill-equipped to make a decision that is to the benefit of you, your community, your country or your planet. I say this because they will have to sacrifice themselves to the system to give you all that they think you need according to what they have been brainwashed. They will buy disposable diapers / nappies, because it is cheap, yet poisonous to the very planet that you will have to live in once they are long gone. They will buy the latest outfits that their media sells as cute and trendy for the new parents to get for their kids. They will save for your education or disguised Euro-cation that will enslave you as an African even more than your enslaved parents are doing unwittingly. Your mother has been your primary teacher and no one asks, what if your mother is just a mental slave euro-cated by the very slave master to enslave you. Who needs the ropes and chains, when your own parents share the slave-masters info to enslave you? Ironic, isn’t it. You attend their schools, read their books, watch their TV, listen to their music, where their brand name clothing, play their play-station, spend your family money to enrich them and wonder why Africa remains on its knees.
Your primary school euro-cation could also be seen as a holding pen to prepare you with only enough information to work for them. If you think I am crazy, then why are you never taught to start your own companies, but instead to find a job in theirs. All the while you are fed advert after advert, cartoon after cartoon, one blood thirsty game after the next until you mimic their decadence, their disrespect for elders, their disregard for life, their destruction of the planet and hopeless and their macabre advertising of darkness and selling negativity as news . You counter their darkness with religious or spiritual search for external Godliness, when internally you hold the essence of God. Yes, they have even infiltrated the very religions we run to and shifted its focus from empowering our God-selves to bowing down to their images. They strip away our belief and greatness by twisting the truth from literature to scripture to novels to media, they have a hand in glorifying themselves and demonizing the masses. See they control what you read and see. They own the networks that get information to the masses. They own the media and can thus decide what you are allowed to read or see or learn. In a blink of an eye they can turn a people’s hero into a terrorist, they can make the whole world call its greatest entertainer a whacko and have millions celebrate the killing of an unarmed human being. They can make the colour black be associated with evil, while white is associated with purity and cleanliness. They remove the title of creators of rock music from African Americans like Chuck Berry and Little Richard and hand it to Elvis Presley and the whole world keep quiet and let’s it be. They can make Egypt seem like it not a part of Africa with movies featuring white skinned people, when the Kemites / Egyptians were black. They can even make the symbol of Christianity, Jesus Christ, look more like a Swede, than the blackman he truly was. For if the Son of God is white, then what colour must God be? So you bow down to their image every Sunday and wonder why your Mom or Dad changes their accent when white people call the house. They made you believe that Adam and Eve were white in all the books you read, but Africa is the cradle of civilization and humanity. It is proved that all modern human being descended from the San, so should Adam and Eve not look like the San? All peoples come from Africa, so Africa means Human and race is just a lie and all people are mixed from that very first San people. However, this is not taught in their schools or universities, because it does glorify them. In fact, try telling this to your teacher or lecturer and ask that it be included in the history textbook to give Africans and Africa back its self-worth. They will demand that you supply the proof in triplicate from someone that has a degree from their institutions. You see, only they can credit you with that accreditation. How can we the people allow their slave master to continue to educate and inform their people?
You finally complete school of university if you are lucky and have become your parents. You have a huge debt of the student loan you took and have to search for job, because your parents were not able to supply all their children with a home. You don’t only have the student loan, but have to pay to survive in their world where you don’t make your own food or farm or own anything. In fact, you are just a supplier of a skill for their empire to grow and you the modern day slave can do just enough to live pay-check to play-check. In fact, that is how they sell your life to you. Your pay-check is divided into repaying credit cards, student loans, rent, phone-bill, food bill, light bill, petrol bill, school fees, car loan, etc. Usually this adds up to your entire pay-check or even leaves you in debt. The irony of it all is that when our ancestors were slaves, the accommodation, food and water was supplied by the slave master. Today’s slaves pay the slave master, now known as the estate agent, back for rent, water and visit their stores for food and other survival needs you might have. How do a people put their survival in the hands of their enemy?
By this stage of your life, you have met someone and society demands of you to settle down and have a child or children of your own. Can you now see that the cycle of enslavement has become a silent cycle of self-enslavement? We have internalized their silent mission from one generation to the next, since our ancestors were mentally brainwashed with their information. Only when you know this information, can you step away from it and create and alternative path. I always find it interesting when people say that it’s just the way it is. WHY? It is way it is because they made it seem to be the norm. In the same way that they created this norm, you/ we can create a new norm that sets us free from their cycle of enslavement. It begins today … with you

Verse I wrote for a Global Anti-World Cup 2010
World Cup 2010 be nothing but a scam man
Welcome to the Land of the San, the birthplace man
All humans on this planet be originally Africa
Chorus
World Cup 2010 be nothing but a scam man
Africans, its time to over-stand their masterplan
The World Cups a Charade
South Africa’s getting played
Big business …
That’s whose really getting paid
As 63 billion rand of taxes they raid
What profit will THE PEOPLES investment have made
Verse
Thee attention world gathers for the wrong reason
It’s the long cold hearted capitalist season
Where basic human freedoms violated for money
In the land of gold, we chase a gold cup that’s funny
Suddenly money changes “never & never again”
Never say never, The same money’s running everything
Where Khoi & San bodies hung, impaled & battered
Is where they built the stadium & 4 billion got Blattered
But we’ll foot the bill, just to foot their ball
On the graves of our ancestors, how can we stand tall
Here Hegemony erases the memory of the San
And lands send players to get played by the man
This scams like “Yes we cans tans” distracting nations
Subduing revolution with media mind occupation
When FIFAs money making machine moves on
Has Africa finally the Worlds respect won

The Babblers from Babylon Babble on ... Talk is Cheap
Babblers from Babylon - Talk is Cheap
Chorus
These babblers from babylon, I hear them babbling on and on/ The battle it be over even before its begun X 2
Now you can't chant down babylon/ If all you have is an empty song/ Now you cant chant down babylon,
when you dont know whats going on
Verse 1
Ohmmmm !!!!!
In the beginning was the word and the word was made man
See even God took actions on the words in his plan
Can you understand when our words were our bond
Now rappers speew words like their mouths are magic wonds
Conned from wordsworth, tell me whats your wordsworth
When your words never ever into action even give birth
Words be like Oh No, now Im meaningless
Before these empty MCs, you see I had meaning yes
The meaninglessness of words has now escalated
Self-hatred paraded on poster poles are under-rated
Sacred was the word when we thought before we spoke
Its a joke when freestyle MCs freely on their words choke
Poke it with a stick, words meanings sticking to the page
At this stage we've forgotten how to use our words to rage
Uncage the words meaning, let your words manifest
Lest saying isn't doing, so on your words do your best
Chorus
Verse 2
Babblers babble 'bout blowing up as an MC
But cant see the industries still run by mental Slavery
Artists are an apostrophe, owned they're their property
Promptly, promoting commodities a priority
See these slaves endorse products aplenty
Where MCs get 10% while industry gets 90
Empty MCs on Empty TV's
Words are empty thanks to the corporate squeeze
Please - I never thought that I'd see the day
Where your flow is more important than acting on what you say
Hey ! big word spitters, who do you actually rhyme for
So hardcore that the masses of listeners you ignore
Im sure MCs an acronym for mental captivity
No sustainability cause everyone gets in for free
Put them on your guest list, you guest yes pockets empty
Empty like the beers they consume after entry
Chorus
Break
Drums come and call on the son
To return the meaning to where word came from
Some spit venom verbally inflicting pain
When all fades away only the word will remain
Ohmmmmmmm !!!!!
Verse 3
These babblers babble on and with forked tongue spit at the sun
They've come to cruxify the revolutionary one
Beware of these ones who speak with forked tongue
On a cross in Calvary, they the word hung
Spun Democracies falacies and free-trade policies
Feeding these global capitalist media monopolies
Empty promises from politicians to economists
The conning list, they insist silences pessimist
Make passivists from activists, opportunists capitalists
Capital YES SIS, Tokyos the apprentice to their riches
B.E.E greedy , legitimize privitization
Selling our nation sold to foreign economic occupation
Gone are our revolutionary youth who fought for freedom
See them in the malls acting like dumb ass Hilton ...
Their battles won if the words meanings gone
On your words be impeccable and true change will come
Masses minds won when medias brainwashing gets done
These sons of capitalism control the sales of the gun
Chorus
These babblers from babylon, I hear them babbling on and on/ The battle it be over even before its begun X 2

Mixed Mense - Coloureds - rhymes 4 my new CD
COLOUREDS – MIXED MENSE
Chorus
Coloureds x 2 ... Mixed mense
Mixed, thats how the planet will get fixed
Mixed, Im tired of your your polit-trix
Mixed, when will the gangs the drugs get fixed
1st Verse
Mixed is who we truly are, there’s no such thing as race
Trace all humans to Africa in the first place
Face the fact, race is socialization of people
Difference in cultures so slight its feeble
We’ll find more similarities than differences exists
Insist we're family, open up your collective fists
Botanists lists, influence these separatists
To separate the masses to benefit capitalists
Capital lies get told to keep us separated
Division with religion and race is manipulated
Hatred, created to shift the masses attention
Distractions used to thwart the enemies detection
Detect them in their media influencing how we think
Its not true just because its on TV or in ink
Sink their flagship of racist classification
Declassify their lies and their mental occupation
Chorus
2nd Verse
Before I was too black and now it seems I be too white
Simunyeah we are one , yeah right
If might makes right, we might be wrong for too long
Why do politicians still sing Apartheids song
Same racial terminology and focus on diversity
A country of tribes and still no unity
The worlds in denial, everyone’s actually mixed
Mixed is the only way this planet will get fixed
So you can call me mixed, I’m just more honest than you
We’re from one race called human, you know that’s true
Glorified gangs that’s all tribalism is
With cultural diversity being your euphemism please
It’s a racist disease, cultures always evolving
Everyone take from each other for problem solving
Xhosa mixed clicks from San to change Ngone
Xhosa and the Zulu came from the north to this country
Chorus
3rd Verse
Xhosa, Zulu, Mixed and Sotho
Black, White, how long will tribalism continue
Divide and conquers entrenched in our mentality
A mental shift is needed by all of us globally
So we can see the capitalistic manipulation
Media manipulated for mental occupation
Occupying minds to fuel racial violence
Distracting from the force that causes compliance
Silence is consent so capitalists keep winning
Spinning into turm oil, salivating at their sinning
Grinning at victories, hiding behind democracies
This demon is all about maintaining its economies
Eco-catastrophes & revelation prophecies
Human property, devils aren’t detoured by these
Please reach inside, take courage with a deep breath
Our long walk to freedom requires capitalisms death
Chorus

The Ajax Cape Town vs Santos game was a BORING, EUROPEAN STYLE OF SOCCER BY NUMBERS THAT HAD NOTHING SOUTH AFRICAN ABOUT IT.

The Ajax Cape Town vs Santos game was a BORING, EUROPEAN STYLE OF SOCCER BY NUMBERS THAT HAD NOTHING SOUTH AFRICAN ABOUT IT.
If this is what we can expect for 2010, then I’m more than convinced that we wasted 4.5 Billion Rand on that new stadium. I know that everyone wants to be positive for Bafana Bafana and South African soccer, but WHAT SOUTH AFRICAN SOCCER? All I saw was a combination of the European long ball and pass the ball to the player that you’re facing. IT WAS BORING AS HELL. The talk of Cape Town and South African 2010 was immediately replaced by Ajax Amsterdam and European sterile technical, feeling-less play-soccer-by-numbers. It had NO PASSION, NO FLARE or hint of LOVE for the game. People started doing the “Mexican-wave” to entertain themselves and the game was like a screen-saver. “Professional” soccer players that played like ROBOTS, doing what the coach or what THE NORM of how soccer is played in EUROPE and what seems to be what is expected of them. WHERE WAS THE SOUTH AFRICAN FLAVOUR? Don’t even try to tell me that the “Vuvuzele” was it, that’s just some noisy uncoordinated – eardrum - rupturing crap. It’s dull drone seemed to be in sync with the dull unimaginative play of our cities “best”.
I have begun to question the concept of “our best”. Have you noticed that watching some Saturday or Sunday-league game or a game of “hondjie” now seems to be more exciting than watching what is considered to be our top teams? It’s like Pop Idols or S.A.’s got talent. Where the hell is the real talent hiding? You will find it in our clubs and churches and schools and malls and on mattresses on township fields. And the truth is, that what we are seeing being paraded as our best, is just the ones who are dedicated enough to find out about the trials, know someone with a connection and have transport to make it to “try outs” and auditions. Our best are working a low-income job to help families pay bills or dropped out of school to hang-out on street corners or just do not have the drive or dedication to be on time every single time. It’s a messed up social system that keeps the mediocre in the limelight, while the real talent slips through our fingers. That is what it felt watching Ajax Cape Town play against Santos. Remember “Teenage Dladla”, he brought himself and our SOUTH AFRICAN way of playing to the game. Saturdays game was a sterile game of text-book European, Brazilian technique analyzed and regurgitated soccer without feeling. That’s not ours. That’s not what we play in the township streets of South Africa. Why are we play like they do?
We should be dancing to our own drum and not try to catch up with their way of playing a game that we play completely different. You can never beat someone at a style that they created. OUR SOCCER is losing support because we have all these international coaches teaching our players to ignore their natural flare and enjoyment of the game of soccer. Who cares if we loose, if we are not having fun playing this game the way we do? Laughing, tricking, creating, enjoying and mostly celebrating OUR WAY of playing soccer. I’m not insulting our players, just the coaches inhibiting OUR SOUTH AFRICAN STYLE OF PLAYING. I thought it was the OUR 2010 World Cup …
