Sloth
Kick your blankets, get up! rain has come.
Grab your seeds head to garden.
Gather oxen, go plough, go back to our indigenous ways.
Reminisce archaic time, untie-knot with sloth!
Fertile East soil wave at black men
Black men! black men! come get your riches.
Black men! black men! we lived prior to technology.
Reminisce archaic time, untie-knot with sloth!
Spill bottle liquor, collect wood for fire, cook sorghum beer.
Throw carpets away, head to the kraal get cow dung.
What is google? black men! black men go consult elders.
Reminisce archaic time, untie-knot with sloth!
Sleep and sloth are tongue and saliva.
Only Jeff Bezos can hit the hay.
