Come
    take the court.
    Yo the banana peels are carefully placed. So keep
    your shell toes carefully laced. The illest NGH got
    peppered and maced. Now amplify this. Turn up
    the bass. And think about it.

CHAPTER 16
    Picture me, lampin’ in the company car. Rims
    like Tibetan prayer wheels. NGH WHT? I’m
    a star. I cruise the block like a feather back and
    forth ‘til I land as the song in your ear or the
    book in your hand. Now the whole fuckin world
    â€™bout to know who I am.
    Got your whole system up in my trunk. That ‘dog
    eat dog’ make my woofers bark: atomic crunk All
    my trill NGHs know who be bringin da funk. Lees
    and shell toes like it’s Black History Month.

CHAPTER 17
    Son of a vortex. African roots. That chicken foot
    hex. Binary star NASA can’t compute. Linear
    complex. It’s simple. Bloodlines span from
    LalÄ«bela temples straight to chitterling minstrels.
    Spin it back to the intro.
    There was one. Bore witness to the rays of the
    sun. Synthesized in her own image. Photo negative.
    Shun. The development of Parliament. The phallic
    bop gun. Thus, the mother-ship connection spawned
    the birth of the drum.
    Ancient drum begat drum. Kingdom go. Kingdom
    come. Ancient sector of the scepter risen up to the
    sun. Hidden hand of man begat patented clone of
    the drum. Boom Bap strapped into a wire, tightly
    coiled, and re-spun.
    Trigger sound. Trigger gun. Drum machine. Machine
    gun. Bodies piled. Carefully filed under beats that were
    once reprogrammed to become: unplugged concert of
    sun. Every ray with sample clearance. Every two begat one.
    Boom Bap hard as a gun. White cross-trainers, unstrung.
    Let these suckas know the cost of making Harriet run.
    Let the North Star be your guiding post when turned
    from the sun until knowledge reigns supreme over
    nearly everyone.

CHAPTER 18
    Check it out now! Check me out now!
    I let these MTHRFKRs know what I’m
    about now. And ain’t no way no one could
    ever play me out now. Because I represent
    the present, NGH, right now!
    Check it out now! Check me out now! At the
    helm of the ship. Shipping out, now! NGH us
    angel dust and devout, now! Heaven high as
    the sky. Never come down!

CHAPTER 19
    Attention: another dimension. Another
    complicated twist too twisted to mention.
    Another pair of NGH lips tongue-tied to
    perfection. Another frame of mind exists
    beyond comprehension.
    Attention. Fourth realm of ascension.
    The absence of tension. A corporate lynching.
    Their god is their henchman. And he ain’t
    just pinching. This NGH bites! And, according
    to pictures, this NGH white!
    WHT?! Come down SLCTR rum pumpum
    pum! Me keeps me tremor in me pocket. Come
    and get some! Again! Come down SLCTR rum
    pumpum pum! Me keeps me tremor in me pocket.
    Come and get some!
    Gimme diamond. Gimme gold. Gimme sugar.
    Gimme candy. Me wine and me handy and dat
    in me panty.
    A stoppa! Na issa supa cat manna you a na lingo.
    Tell him to come back. Tell him he a murderer. Tell
    him mamma womb a she da real carrier. Woman
    no a cry a you a no suffer. Tell him come a man
    a who a no batter. Have mercy.

CHAPTER 20
    Let me mold a guitar of your bodily bazaar.
    Strap your tongue, chord your lungs, string
    your toes. And bows that precede the rain
    shall serpent symphonies in your name.
    Mother of countless daughters. The tricks of
    time. It is your thrust and grind that defines
    us. We are the offspring of your decapitated
    head. The bastard sons of Father Time.
    Let Saturn be reborn a girl. Let her nurture
    her children rather than eat them. Hide them
    from our forefathers and the angry ghosts
    of X-mas past. Let them be raised away from
    the phallic dangers of our times.
    Let their secrets remain secrets until we are
    ready to cherish them as our own. Nurture
    and adore them. The timeless secrets of
    creation:
    The darkness that yields light. The seed that
    bears fruit. The mother that bears the cross
    of her fathers and her fathers’
