[(Wolf Howls) 

I'm not a hunter but i am told, 

that, uh, in places like in the arctic, 

where indiginous people sometimes might, might,
hunt a wolf, 

they'll take a double edged blade, 

and they'll put blood on the blade, 

and they'll melt the ice and stick the handle in
the ice, 

so that only the blade is protruding, 

and that a wolf will smell the blood and wants to
eat, 

and it will come and lick the blade trying to
eat, 

and what happens is when the wolf licks the
blade, 

of course, he cuts his tongue, and he bleeds, 

and he thinks he's really having a good thing,


and he drinks and he licks and he licks, 

and of course he is drinking his own blood and he
kills himself, 

thats what the Imperialists did with us with
crack cocaine, 

you have these young brothers out there who think
they are getting something 

they gonna make a living with, 

they is getting something they can buy a car, 

like the white people have cars, why can't i have
a car? 

they getting something they can get a piece of
gold, 

white people have gold, why can't i have gold?


they getting something to get a house, 

white people have a house, why can't i have a
house? 

and they actually think that theres something
thats bringing resources to them, 

but they're killing themsleves just like the wolf
was licking the blade, 

and they're slowly dying without knowing it. 

thats whats happening to the community, you with
me on that? 

thats exactly, precisely what happens to the
community, 

and instead of blaming the hunter who put the
damn handle and blade in the ice 

for the wolf, 

that what happens is the wolf gets the blame,
gets the blame for trying to live, 

thats what happens in our community, 

you don't blame the person, the victim, 

you blame the oppressor, Imperialism, white power
is the enemy, 

was the enemy when it first came to Africa, 

and snatched up the first African brothers here
against our will, 

isss the enemy today, 

and thats the thing that we have to understand.
