MeShell Ndegocello - Hot Night LYRICS

Angela davis :
"i was a member of the communist party.
I'm not a member of the communist party, anymore - but i consider myself very much a socialist.
So we'll get to that later."

Let's go

"One of the reasons why the war in vietnam was able to happen as long as it did

And people pointed to the vietnamese as their enemy.
As if somehow or another
If the country defeated the communist enemy in vietnam
Things were gonna be okay at home."

But its a hot night,
Let's talk about the sign of the times

With saviors, prophets and heroes
But in the silence of my prayers
I had a vision of my hatred
Dissolving into grains of sand

That's all i really am
Just a grain of sand
I know i get caught up in all that spiritual shit
But there aint much to hold onto

Rape, starvation, greed, need, fascist regimes
White man, rich man democracy
Suffer in the world trade paradise
Hear me now...
But its a hot night,
Let's talk about the sign of the times
Yeah
Politics
And the plight of the revolutionary soul singer
Word up
C'mon
Its a hot night
Head down to the cl
