Meshell Ndegocello Hot Night Lyrics

Hot Night Lyrics

Angela davis :

"i was a member of the communist party.

I'm not a
member of the communist party, anymore - but i consider myself very much a
socialist.

So we'll get to that later."



Let's go



Angela davis: 

"One of the reasons why the war in vietnam was able to
happen as long as it did 

Was because this - of this fear of
communism.

And people pointed to the vietnamese as their enemy.

As
if somehow or another

If the country defeated the communist enemy in
vietnam

Things were gonna be okay at home."



But its a hot

Let's talk about the sign of the times 

Politics 

And
the plight of the revolutionary soul singer 

Its a hot night 

Head
down to the club 

For the pina coladas without the alcohol 

And
let's talk about the world y'all 

Can you pick me up? 

You know i
hate driving in the evil city 

And baby read my mind, hit la caridad 

So i can get some coffee 

And we can get our talk on 

Seems i
got caught up in this romanticized idea of revolution 

With saviors,
prophets and heroes 

But in the silence of my prayers 

I had a
vision of my hatred 

Dissolving into grains of sand 

Realized 

That to the universe 

That's all i really am 

Just a grain of
sand 

I know i get caught up in all that spiritual shit 

But there
aint much to hold onto 

We all living in a world built upon 

Rape,
starvation, greed, need, fascist regimes 

White man, rich man democracy


Suffer in the world trade paradise 

Hear me now... 

But its
a hot night, 

Let's talk about the sign of the times 

Yeah 

Politics 

And the plight of the revolutionary soul singer 

Word
up 

C'mon 

Its a hot night 

Head down to the cl
