It's A Trip - The Last Poets

Written by：Suliaman El Hadi

How I wish I could stay far away far away

How I wish I could stay far away far away

How I wish I could stay far away far away

How I wish I could stay far away far away

How I wish I could stay far away far away

How I wish I could stay far away far away

Away from the milling masses

Filth vermin and gases

Muggings thuggings near naked bodies as they go marching past

Shamming at modesty in miniskirt mask

And it's a trip stay far away far away

Yes it's a trip stay far away far away

From the screaming and cussin'

From the gambling and hustlin'

From the nodding and the fussin'

From the confusion of integration

And segregation

Amidst the cries of let's build a nation

Separation y'all separation y'all

Separation separation

How I wish I could stay far away far away

How I wish I could stay far away far away

Yes I trip to escape the environmental rape

The industrial waste in the rivers and lakes

The mad mad race for the vastness of space

The clamour and fuss to quicken the pace

The hypocrites' call of justice for all

Though this cannot be for people like me

There's no place for the poor y'all in this society

How I wish I could stay far away far away

There's no place for the poor y'all in this society

How I wish I could stay far away far away

So I trip and I flee from the things that I see

Yes I trip and I flee from this brand of liberty

Yes I trip and I flee so perhaps for a moment

I might be free free free

I might be free free free

And it's a wish I could stay far away far away

Yes it's a trip stay far away far away

Yes I split with my mind through the passage of time

Back when men were still men and the sisters were fine

And a man had a friend and a man had allah

And a man had some land and a faith to defend

Back in time before men were deceived by the jinn

How I wish I could stay far away far away

Back in time before men were deceived by the jinn

How I wish I could stay far away far away

But Alas I come back to the real to the fact

Being poor being black being under attack

Being under attack for just being black

Being under attack for just being black

Being under attack for just being black

Being under attack and that is a fact

And it's a trip could stay far away far away

It's a trip stay far away far away

Yes it's time we all took a real hard look

At the lifestyles we have and the ones we forsook

And our past and our present at the future we crave

And at the things we encounter between the womb and the grave

And what we must do and what must be saved

And how we must struggle and how things will be

When truth is revealed y'all and falsehood has died

I wish I could stay far away far away

When truth is revealed y'all and falsehood has died

I wish I could stay far away far away

How I wish I could stay far away far away

How I wish I could stay far away far away

How I wish I could stay far away far away

From the witches and vampires that stalk me each day

How I wish I could stay far away far away

Far away from the hunter that makes me the prey

How I wish I could stay far away far away

Far away from the snare that they lay on the way

How I wish I could stay far away far away

For the soul is the prize in the game that they play

For the soul is the prize in the game that they play

For the soul is the prize in the game that they play
