Baby kicks and cries in a mother's tomb
gasping for air inside of her womb
poison gases disperse in a thick cloud called doom
and the entire black race will follow soon

we track the journey of a poison pill
trace each step to the floorboards of capital hill
red, white and blue doors fly apart
while a thousand fetal tragedies bare their mark
images of dead doctors, lawyers and Malcolm X all distorted
in a red hazardous waste container filled with babies aborted

my ancestors fought for our right to breathe
yet you still kill life!
my ancestors fought for our right to bleed
yet you still kill life!
my ancestors died for the right to breed
yet.....you still kill life!

A young mother sleeps alone in a quiet room
surrounded by her fear
it shakes her, wakes her
in the middle of the night
a sharp spear pierces her belly
and the Nile River begins to flow
through her like early morning rain
wrenched with pain
she leaps from her stained sheets
and makes her way out into the street
hour and hours past
as she waits for life to pass.... through her
she dreams of the younger days wasting time
the baby's daddy she couldn't find
she even thought back to her last slow grind
flesh tears and skin gives way to surgical devices
ripped and split she pushes for her love child
with every breathe she takes
she pushes out her love child
with every breathe she takes
she pushes out her love child
now exhausted and covered with sweat
she holds her first born
and the room fills with new life
but the stench of still born death
occupies the same space and time
life fading fast
Abortions time has passed
life fading fast
Abortions time has passed
life fading fast
Abortions time has passed
Choose life!
