Progenitor from Progenitor by David Boykin Expanse

once upon a time not long ago
on the west side of the c-h-i—c-a-g-o
a mythic mysterious
cryptic slick serious
maestro with nice flow
developed a style so
revolutionary it threatened the whole game
so systematically they starved him out
buried his name
disciples went underground but were unable to maintain
but heres’ a few remnant verses of the teachings that remain

from he who speaks questions information conceals
the truth which to see who seeks knowledge is revealed
don’t ask set about the task do the math
power’s obtained in the process remain true to the path
spit fire speak truth acquire the gifts and be living proof
of the impossible

wreck sets with no apology and minimum technology
just natural acoustic music of high quality
create constantly in this odyssey
ever evolving culture to evade
slave wage economy
melodies beats lyrics mind body and sprit
blended properly fulfill prophecy

breath control diaphragmatic yields express control
nonproblematic over instinctual habits
through these means most effectual
emotional and intellectual impulses are subdued
regulating mind state sedate
carry the weight of the world and tempt fate
as the world waits
with baited breath

charred bones of old tone poems dismembered smolder in the embers
soon to be rekindled by those who remember
the progenitor
low frequency flow grow
penetrate the perimeter and proceed to replenish the
creativity reservoir with a most bizarre musical repertoire

ooh la la la
thats the way that it feels when you know that its real
ooh la la la lets take to the sky on a musical high
ooh la la la la la la

ooh la la la
thats the way that it feels when you know that its real
ooh la la la lets take to the sky on a musical high
ooh la la la la la la

ooh la la la
thats the way that it feels when you know that its real
ooh la la la lets take to the sky on a musical high
ooh la la la la la la

ooh la la la
thats the way that it feels when you know that its real
ooh la la la lets take to the sky on a musical high
