Title: Family Name

Lyrics Family Name

Welcome. You have just accessed the Akashic Records Genetic Information Division. This program is required for those wishing to obtain a marriage blessing from The Kingdom. When you wish to begin this program, place your right hand on the scanner and tightly clench up your buttcheeks as you might feel a slight electrical shock. Please select the race history you desire. You have selected African-American. This is your history:

First of all, the term "black and white" is a fallacy. It simply is another way of saying "this or that". Let's examine the term "this or that" in its ultimate form which is: "this" means the truth or "that which is resistant to it. When a minority realizes its similarities on a higher level- not just "black"- but PEOPLE OF COLOR, and higher still "INDIGENOUS", and even higher still, "FROM THE TRIBE OF.” and yet higher- the "RAINBOW CHILDREN". When this understanding comes, the so-called minority becomes a majority in the wink of an eye. This action will cause a Reaction or Resistance. The source of this Resistance must be banished as it is in direct conflict with the initial action. It cannot be assimilated, for its very nature is resistance. In other words, ONE CANNOT SERVE to MASTERS. You are either "this" or "that" which is not "this".

End of part one. To continue, select the program Family Name and type in the current government name you wish history on.

(London, England sometime in the early 1600s)

"We have the God-given right to run out of our colonies anyone who does not bow down to our law. Hear, hear?"

"Come on, come on keep it moving here. What's your name boy?"
"Abu Cah"
"Well it ain't now; it's Tom Lynch."

Mirror, mirror what you see?
Have I still got those dark clouds over me?
Or am I really feeling what I feel? The last days of the Devil's Deal
Mirror, what you see?

Devil, devil what you know?
You been here since 1914, but now you got to go
You been hidin' behind corporate eyes
You wanna war, but you can't fight
Devil, you got to go

You might say, "what you mad about?"
But you still got your Family Name
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Rosenbloom
I'll be John Blackwell just the same
What's your Family Name?

Teacher, teacher what you say?
Did we really come over in a boat?
Did it really go down that way?
Or did I arrive before and ruin Thanksgiving Day?
Teacher, what you say?

Preacher, preacher is it true?
That Jesus wants me to give my money to the likes of you?
Ride around in your Lexus Coupe/Drive us to the cleaners in a pinstripe suit
Preacher, that ain't truth!

You might say, "what you mad about?"
But you still got your Family Name
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Pearlman
You can call me Clay. Can I play?

People, people what's your name?
Maybe we should start all over
Let everybody get in the game
Put up a one-gloved fist
Make a sound, Violet Brown

You might say "what you mad about?"
But you still got your Family name
Pleased to meet you Mr. Goldstruck.

We found this tape in the Akashic records. This is Thomas Jefferson:

"My fellow Americans, if there is a just God, we're gonna pay for this!"

"Black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics will be able to join hands in the words of the old Negro spiritual: "free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last!"
