Join Robert as he performs an original song called "Breaking Our Condtioning" and offers commentary on the lyrics. He touches on the riots, black lives matter, spiritual matters, and of course, freedom.

Breaking Our Conditioning

The spirit of my ancestors

deep in my bones

double helix DNA coursing

through my poems

wings wide spread on my

way home

the will to be free the only

thing that I know

so get your hands up off me

you know you not worthy

I come from my father

you just a mere earthling

seeking after money plotting

on me/cursing

I've studied all my life

I can see the plan working

you and kind behind the scenes lurking

falsely illuminated born of the serpent

crushed under my heal you can feel

my power surging

warriors from every creed and color

converging

wide awake staring at the men

behind the curtain

no fear in the eyes you bet' not

try nothing fishy

freedom fang clutching we bout

to get busy

they quaking in they boots

cause we're

breaking our conditioning

My mother is picture

My father is a king

Underneath my human

Clothes a spiritual being

Tries to escape from material

Things

Above my head murderous

Control freak thieves

They got me in they clutches

And they love to squeeze

Until I can’t take no more

But then they just stop

They never let the pressure

Blow the lid off of the pot

Because it might reset the game

If the weasel goes pop

I’m speaking over dirty jazz

Like Moka Only

I never met the cat but I

Feel like he’s my homie

Cause I always bump his music

When I’m rolling feeling lonely

Looking at the coastline

The mountains in the distance

Thinking deep thoughts like

Would Jesus be a Christian?

Or would he feel sad about

His words being twisted?

Why do blacks hate

Bush when Obama is no different?

I pray my tongue don’t trip

On the harshness that I’m sipping…

I’m back again like boomerang

This track is going to my brain

Like down low propaganda

Be speaking through your computer games

Movie screen/teleprompters/cameras

Peeping at you/they say it’s for your safety

But they really want to trap you

And get you in the system

If they gave an inch you’d

Take a mile and then start resisting

we’re made in GOD’s image

so freedom’s in our spirit

there’s nothing they can do

eternal flames can’t be quenched

with guns germs or steel

Winged beings never submit to tyrant’s

will because the sleeper will awaken when

the secret is revealed

they try to keep our focus on

the outside not the inner

if they stop the fight before it starts

they’ll always be the winners

they’re vastly outnumbered

and they’re quaking in their loafers

pick up the sword of truth

go forward mighty soldier

if GOD be on your side then

no one can oppose you

so take your place reclaim

crown and rule like you’re

supposed to.
