Higher Plane

I’m gonna play my vinyl in the urinal, and that’s final Life is bad when you're sad Ain't you glad they took you out of school, coz you were cool Chicks don’t understand your waveband, don’t know the beat, take a seat Let me explain, give it plain, feel the pain, I’m on a higher plane Take a shot, I’m hot, fire around my soul, like coal burning in the night, dynamite Touch the aura, stars at night delight in my plume They give me room to shine, divine Radio waves take me further down DJ thinks it’s cool to swear, records on air, doesn’t understand, I’m on a higher plane Can’t explain to lower creed, we give them seeds to grow, and still, they sow Watch them bow and scrape, no escape, see them run Radioactive fallout kills the pain, don’t eat the fruit without the silver suit Read the signs, stars are on the wane, I’m on a higher plane Black women wear white to shine the skin, purify the race, educate the masses to a greater state White man loves black, he sees the dark touching deep, can’t sleep without the thought, black women enslaved to bleed, chained and made to sleep White women wear black to get back, we’re all insane, you know where I am Now we’re on the moon, and very soon to change the smile to gloom Looking down I saw Iran Pressed a button during sandwich break, changed the map forever Rediscovered China on a trip to Mars, now there’s just a wall Made the six o’clock around the globe Jupiter seemed a distant star, and we all went to sleep Tomorrow was another day to play.
