Friends, Minneapolis is burning again.
The winds have changed, a strange
Burning sent to occupy the people,
the people. An evil has landed in
Minneapolis. Minneapolis is burning
like Mississippi in the 50s and the
60s.

Are you with me? Are you aware
about what is going on there? There?
They’re saying prayers in churches.
There is civil unrest – youth, children
are nervous, are nervous.

Are you in service? Are you fighting,
igniting, writing, providing your voice
right now?! Now!

Minneapolis is burning again. It is
A trend that began again is 2025.
How are we going to survive if
Minneapolis is burning again?
More than a trend, this is a becking
call. I am calling all

activists, organizers, strategizers,
professors, ministers, preachers,
atheists, seekers to say what is
Going on is wrong! Is wrong!

Minneapolis’s streets burn,
burn, burn! The structures
Holding these states of ours
burn, burn, burn!

From previous tragedies we
Should have learned, learned!

The streets of Minneapolis might
As well be one big urn holding the
Ashes of the lost, those we have
lost to death.

Oh Minneapolis, why you? Why
you again comrades, friends?

Why must the burning reach you
at this time? The Minnesota nightfall
Finds warriors and soldiers in your
streets. 

Fascism must face a defeat!

These are flames from the elite!

Minneapolis must know peace, peace,
peace, peace, peace, peace, peace,
peace. 

Minneapolis is burning again.

Minneapolis is burning again.

Minneapolis burns again, again,
again. What are we going to do about
it comrades, friends?
