about

Carving its way through the poetic, Where are the Keys? is a composition that questions the questionable.

lyrics

Tumi Mogorosi - Where are the Keys? (feat. Andile Yenana & Lesego Rampolokeng)

Python squeeze accordion
Past and future juice in this
Sewer turtles + spittle spewers
Hades hate gate-keep Dominion?
We rattle keys to the magic kingdom
Dread antennae pick up extraterrestrial, Toshman
AMABUTHO it in a Zim jam-anthem
The Omega factor
Land’s spirit
All on beneath within around + us in it
A linkage infinite
Sheet music Hieroglyphic-writ
Rhythm Pulsate
Silence’s violence discord swallow tongue
Percussion tattoo down to bass-marrow
Ivory tinkle fluid spinal tap
No perjury… scalpels out …Gwala surgery
Horns gore deep Essence core
Ancestral voices war-dance out God’s Window
Heart + mind melody makes spines harmonise with entrails/innards
Electric-storm censor castles /
injustice palaces
Parcel gutted out to stark-
dark posterity
We come in… Disembowelment reclamation mission mean
Power addict abject state
Disseminate obscene – control virus value system dictate
Shatter-machine music cut through
minds rhyme
with how hearts vibrate in time
Liberatory beats in tandem
DREAD REVERB… ultrasonic vocab
theory to praxis radical process
MUD BOUND WORDSOUND GENESIS
Life…Revelation
Revolution in Black Movement
Sleepy hollow shadow notes
Creep thru senses crevices
dark embrace…
Genius resides in BLACKNESS
Thaba Bosiu
Nocturnal Mountain raised fist spirit habitat
Blood rivers mystic baffles psychics + psychiatrists
How Kgalagadi muddies Limpopo yet keep the San tomb clean
Blues…Black…Darker than grey
Creation sounds Gold Reef Mine Rockfall
crush-sounds
Guitar-string gun spit tear flesh
Black sonic science
Darkest Acoustics
Black slaughter up from under
back of beyond the lash /swish
Existence level cockroach
Even there the serpentine
between the keys in Fikile’s pianoed spinal-column
Set it of… on Broken bone saxophone moan
Morning horn …the dawning
Black dreams are born… we’re on
Jackboot sense smash
Slit wrists quench thirst
Vulcan tangle mangle flesh
A Mengele experiment
Blood clash brainsplash
Piteous Black Sash
Slash that…vinyl scratch
The pain slide through the gash
Tripping off morning horns
Past the dawning Black futures are born
Drum-Bang out hunger pang
What the cut throat sang
creation music politic It
both mystic +concrete
No one Dimension
Sound first -opp
then com-pressed
through Hell-Gates
Reverberate across space + time
Locked in with the rhyme
They genocide ideology revamp
concentration camped out
Lüderitz to Auschwitz
Death blood-lines
holocaust inheritance
Shark / Death Island choice
Broken wind instruments
Murderous voices
poison-gas class-sick as Wagnerian
Impeach the epoch
from torture to echo-chambers
Unborn murmurs
Carcasses on conscience
corpse consciousness
Fart-bass tremors
Ancient howls posterity whispers
Drum – thunder – roll this present
history – traumatic sonic remedy
Mass therapy frequency music
Heal-force vibratory
Without amnesiac side-effect
Brain on the Col-
Trane tracks Mthuli ka Shezi
Shaka spears ?
Wine curtain torn
Blood on the sugar cane
Slave sweat made Hullets sweet
Dropped in dum-dum
staccato in Cape Flat
Dop rhythm
Kaffir Coolie Hot-Not
Rim-shot
Sky burst
Heaven come rest on Africa breast
Impeach the epoch
Put the age on trial
Single file execute the times
Perennial race war crimes
meanwhile they luxuriate in class climes
From the rubble
bubble-bloodbath-salts
Black sweat makes malts
Armoured noise against silence’s pestilence
facing violence
for Mongezi
Lymphatic fluid polished
Cullinan Diamond
Kimberley Gold……………………………
The Atlantic howls cold in skeleton
commerce spells trap
Hells bells demonic snares
Liberty’s eyes stare blinder than Justice
Dark angelic notes Volcanic
velvet at core
Black image creation Breath
Brotherhood in Blue Notes
Motherless child feeling
birthed hanging from the ceiling
hanging trees
grief hit surface
Magnum force drum-
pierce up to putrid existence core
quest:
Strike the life Motherlode
