UMZANSI Songtext
von Moor Mother

Quantum, quantum in the moment
Let your imagination lead you (black, black, quantum in the moment, moment)
It knows everything you don′t know yet and can't be aware of
As our common reality unfolds linearly (quantum, black in the moment)
Listen to your body deeply (quantum, black in the moment)
It holds the time and memory of all your mothers and grandmothers before (quantum, black in the moment)

And they have been everywhere you will be and have been
And so there is never a wrong place or time for you (quantum, black in thе moment)
Allow time to emеrge from its timeless degrees of freedom
And take up as much space within the moment as desired and needed
Stretching it out and filling it up to accommodate you (quantum, black in the moment)

Aerospace agency, North-Philly satellite
Dark stretch, pink shadows of the future
Ridge Ave, gave away, free jazz highway
Lone groan bubbling, lone groan bubbling
Coltrane strawberry mansion, love supreme
Plasma through concrete, life′s a dream
High screeching, feels like Rosetta
Looping the ever-present wave


Quantum, black in the moment
Quantum, black in the moment
Quantum, black in the moment
Quantum, black in the moment
Quantum, black in the moment
Quantum, black in the moment
Quantum, black in the moment
Quantum, black in the moment

Dance through the trials of my father
A war dance, Umzansi
A child alone in this world
Back against the tree of family
Strong winds of worlds apart
Future fathers outside the dream prison walls America

Encores of injustice (encores of injustice)
I dance through the trials of my father
A war dance, Umzansi
I dance through the trials of my father
A war dance, Umzansi
A war dance, Umzansi

I dance through the trials of my father
I dance through the trials of my father (quantum, black in the moment)
Quantum, black in the moment
Quantum, black in the moment
