The Prisoner (free) 00:53
"As black people, as brown people, as people of color, as working men and women in general, we know and we experience the agony of the struggle for existence each day. We are locked into that struggle. The parallels between our lives and the lives of our sisters and brothers behind bars are very clear. Yet there is a terrifying difference in degree between life on this side of the bars and life on the other side. And just as we must learn from the similarities and acquire an awareness of all the forces which oppress us out here, it is equally important that we understand that the plight of the prisoner unfolds in the rock-bottom realms of human existence." - Angela Davis Political Activist, Professor, Author and former Black Panther Party Member.

Leash 02:19
Tighten the leash. Freedom you speak Poison the water Make us the 'other' Beat a dog. You will be bitten. Oppress a man History’s written. Your cage won't hold for long The will of the wretched ,forever strong Strike the rock, a landslide will come On this day, Oppressor, run “The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressed, Is the mind of the oppressed” Slip the leash
