about

This is spoken word poetry with African drums in the back ground. It talks about how our ancestors and contemporaries, the Dogon Tribe, of Mali Africa new about the star system/constellation Orion and the Stars Sirius A&B before the invention of the telescope and pin pointed the place where our souls go after we die.
spoken word poet Kamal Imani breaks down how we went from these spiritual heights to spiritual and cultural lows. Now That's Heavy!

lyrics

Now That’s Heavy!

The tradition of the dogon tribe in Mali Africa states that…
We were visited thousands of years ago by the Nommos.
Extra Terra Astral beings that taught us of the star constellation Orion and the stars Sirius a, b and C.

Now why is this even important to you?
Because the dogons believe that Sirius is where your soul goes after you die.
Now aren’t you concerned with your afterlife?
Or are you only concerned with the masters life?
The preacher or the pastors wife?

See the dogons new the existence of these stars
Without a telescope or satellite.

It took the European until recently to create a satellite so they can see partially
What these so-called savages could always see.
Now that’s heavy.



One teaspoon of Sirius b is so dense that it weighs 5 tons
Sidenote:
The earth weighs 6 sex tillion tons while it revolves around the sun.
Now that’s heavy.

How heavy? Heavier than Shirley from what’s happenin
Ruben from Amerikkan Idol, Big Pun and Re Run.
Heavier than those chicks from 2 tons of fun
Now that’s heavy.

I don’t mean to make light of this, but for what it’s worth
Sirius is only 8.6 light years from earth.
The black man was vibrating on a high frequency having interplanetary conferences with extraterrestrial beings.
We were seeing to it that the universe was balanced.
Now, we slinging crack, doing Step N Fetch it rap
And black on black violence.

Now That’s heavy.

Glorifiying techs, ghettos and projects, trapping our lovers for sex
Breakin Egyptian toranic biblical and koranic laws.
Fighting the enemies wars on someone elses shores
While on politics economics and education we are mute
Heavier than the land that you sittin in was once inhabited by Indians
Now that’s heavy.


In Africa we got diamond mines and no diamonds
Bling bling
In America we got diamonds and no diamond mines
Bling bling
Now that’s heavy.
