People of the Light Gil Scott-Heron, Makaya McCraven

[00:35.82] Standing in the ruins of another black man's life
[00:40.68] Or flying through the valley separating day and night
[00:45.83] "I am death!" cried the vulture. "For the people of the light."
[00:55.88] Charon brought his raft from the sea that sails on souls
[01:00.71] And saw the scavenger departing, taking warm hearts to the cold
[01:05.84] He knew the ghetto was a haven for the meanest creature ever known
[01:13.03] Light of the people
[01:14.01] Light of the people
[01:16.86] Light of the people
[01:19.66] Light of the people
[01:24.35] In the wilderness of heartbreak and a desert of despair
[01:29.91] Evil's clarion of justice shrieks a cry of naked terror
[01:34.87] Taking babies from their mamas
[01:37.42] Leaving grief beyond compare
[01:40.59] Light of the people
[01:44.43] Light of the people
[01:46.92] Light of the people
[01:49.67] Light of the people
[01:51.29] So if you see the vulture coming
[01:53.20] Flying circles in your mind
[01:56.01] Remember there is no escaping
[01:58.42] For he will follow close behind
[02:01.72] Only promise me a battle
[02:04.30] Battle for your soul and mine
[02:08.19] Light of the people
[02:09.26] Light of the people
[02:11.86] Light of the people
[02:14.54] Light of the people
[02:16.31] Light of the people
[02:18.98] Light of the people
[02:22.11] Light of the people
[02:25.62] Light
[02:43.24]
