[Mr Gee]
So Where’s our hope meant to come from? Because We’re lost if we place our hope in you. We’re lost if we sit around and wait for you to change. Your system, your world, your mind, your rage; hoping that one day we’ll be seen as.... human.
And where’s our justice meant to arrive from? If this world is soaked in White supremacy; saturating its ancient laws, submerging all, like an infernal stream of thought forever flowing through time.
Drowning us at birth, seeping into our graves, placing tender droplets upon our foreheads, baptising our shame. Because Our freedom… Our freedom was once a crime, our freedom was once denied, our freedom was once despised…
And you can’t seem to abolish that thought From within your mind, no matter how hard you try. You Fear the equality of truth, will burst your riverbanks by changing its tides. Are we so difficult to love? So easy to hate, is it commonplace to devalue our lives? Under the pretence that we devalue your Space?
All Ghettos are man-made; orchestrated with a smile. All Racism is mapped, we just navigate its sick design. So Spare me your liberal cries, or carefully painted protest signs, because I know that today’s ally so woke can float with tomorrow’s white flight. It’s just a matter of time, as we all sink into this difficult history. 400+ years underwater and I’m still struggling to breathe.
So what happens to a dream deferred? Does it now explode into nothingness, without a question, without a word, without a thought or the idea that it will ever be heard? A Well meaning gesture drenched by the pressure of your system, your mind, your rage, your world; Hoping and praying that one day..... we’ll be seen as.... human.
[Lorraine Hansberry]
My position is that we have a great deal to be angry about, furious about, you know they’re still lynching negroes in America. And I feel as our African friends do that we need all ideologies which point toward the total liberation of the African peoples all over the world.

Words and speech by Mr Gee and Lorraine Hansberry
Music written, arranged, mixed & mastered by Seth Mowshowitz
Performed by Fold along with:
Violins – Kieran O’Malley
Overall a brilliant collaborative record between artists on the Bastard Jazz & Tummy Touch labels. We've also got a remix on there under our old name Mujaji. Fold
Hailed as "the best Downtempo band you've never heard" Low In the Sky deliver a lush, bleepy masterpiece on this, my favourite of their outstanding and highly underrated repertoire. Fold
