La Femme Fetal

La Femme Fetal - Digable Planets

It was 849 on a beautiful 9th day of July

There was not a cloud to speak of

So the orange sun hung lonely in the sky

I lay prone in my catboat home

Thinking of fine nappy Jackie and his jazz cat's horn

Sliding in a tape of bird on verve

When suddenly rang my phone

Hey butterfly

The voice said

Slip on some duds comb out your fro

And slide on down to my pad

The vibe here is very pleasant

And I truly request your presence

A problem of great magnitude has arose

And as we speak it grows

D**n what could it be I thought

A juice I bought and rolled on down to her

Seeing bros I know slapping fives I arrived and pressed G 5

And there was Nikki lookin' some kind of sad

With tears fallin' from her eyes she sat me down

And dug my frown and began to run it down

You remember my boyfriend Sid

That fly kid who I love

Well our love was often a verb

And spontaneity has brought a third

But do to our youth an economic state

We wish to terminate

About this we don't feel great

But baby that's how it is

But the feds have dissed me

They ignore and dismiss me

The pro lifers harass me outside the clinic

And call me a murderer

Now that's hate

So needless to say we're in a mental state of debate

Hey beautiful bird

I said digging her somber mood

The fascists are some heavy dudes

They don't really give a d**n about life

They just don't want a woman to control her body

Or have the right to choose but baby that ain't nothin'

They just want a male finger on the button

Because if you say

War

They will send them to die by the score

Aborting mission should be your volition

But if Souter and Thomas have their way

You'll be standing in line unable to get welfare

While they're out hunting and fishing

It has always been around

It will always have the niche

But they'll make it a privilege

Not a right accessible only to the rich

Hey pro lifers need to dig themselves

Because life doesn't stop after birth

And for child borne to the unprepared

It might even just get worse

The situation surely change if they will find themselves in it

Supporters of the h bomb

And fire bombing clinic

What type of sh*t is that

Orwellian in fact

If roe V wade was overturned

Would not the desire remain intact

Leaving young girls to risk their healths

Doctors to botch and watch as they kill themselves

Now I had to sound macabre but hey

Isn't it my job to lay it on the masses

And get them off their asses to fight against these fascists

So

Whatever you decide

Make that move with pride

Sid will be there and so will I

An insect 'til I die

'Til I die 'till I die

Rhythms and sounds

Spinning around

Confrontations across the nation

Your block my block

Dreadlocks what a shock

Land of the free

But not me

Not me

Not me

Not me

Not me

Not me

Not me

Not me

Not me
