"Fucking Ain't Conscious" by def jam poet Frenchie
i never said that i was here for your conscious awakening
and the only thing i'm trying to awake
are your masculine and feminine wiles see,
i was just trying to get you into bed with somebody you cared about
you know
the type of person that makes your top lip quiver and your bottom lip cringe
and if i could
i would put love in your hands and tell you to taste it
but all you seem to taste is anger and bitterness
and after over three hundred years of slavery
i thought you was ready to taste somethin else
feel somethin else
smell touch vision somethin else
but
fucking aint conscious
let's examine it: it don't win battles
it don't end racial profilin
it's not democratic or republican
it won't get you forty acres on a mule
and it don't give you equality like you think your
picket signs and boycotting does
it
only
feels
real
good
ask yourself:
when was the last time you were around panties so wet you could use it as a face cloth
wipe yourself down and smell the occassion?
but all i heard you yell the other day was
"fight the power"
what about love yo woman
and love yo man?
now that's the battle we need to win
so if winnin means wearing a silk robe with a matching thong panties
if it means kissin until billy holiday is reincarnated through your spirits
if it means huggin until you catch on fire
sex until the police come knockin
creamy creamy thighs
with tears in your eyes
and skin under your nails
and get a smile on your face
and your heart in the right place
well then
let's fuck
make love
come together
whatever it is you need to call it
let's use whip cream on everything but food
...
hey!
aint this what you so-called revolutionaries supposed to die for?
You revolutionaries,
You conscious folk
You politically insightful
don't you fuck sometimes?
make love sometimes?
have fantasies or questions
nothin conscious about blue lights and red roses
you go lookin for support and empowerment
i found it
it laid under the covers with the one i loved
how uncommon is that
when two people come together
or cum together
but like i heard before
fuckin aint conscious
This reminds me... when is Staceyann Chin getting back on the road?
