Phoenix Rising
Eye was listening to the following beat and it took me back to a piece of art Eye made back in 2015 called Gods Cry/Phoenix Rise (above) and inspired the following poem…
Gods Cry
Broken sorrow they cannot hide
Every time the Benu Bird dies
From Her Own
Her Own Ashes….
Gods Cry
Broken sorrow they cannot hide
Every time the Benu Bird dies
From Her Own Ashes
The Phoenix Will Rise
No more Westing
No more Resting
Phoenix Rising
Soul on Fire
Everything
Is slowly changing
She feels the Neteru crying
Every tear shed takes Her Higher
Every tear shed takes Her Higher
This is what it feels like when the SoulFire Phoenix Rises
No more Westing
No more Resting
Phoenix Rising
Soul on Fire
Everything
Is slowly changing
She feels the Neteru crying
Every tear shed takes Her Higher
Every tear shed takes Her Higher
This is what it feels like when the SoulFire Phoenix Rises
Gods Cry
As Phoenix Rises
Higher and Higher
Her Soul’s On Fire
Rise Phoenix Rise
Gods Cry
Broken sorrow they cannot hide
Every time the Benu Bird dies
From Her Own Ashes
The Phoenix Will Rise
Gods Cry
Broken sorrow they cannot hide
Every time the Benu Bird dies
From Her Own Ashes
The Phoenix Will Rise
No more Westing
No more Resting
Phoenix Rising
Soul on Fire
Everything
Is slowly changing
She feels the Neteru crying
Every tear shed takes Her Higher
Every tear shed takes Her Higher
This is what it feels like when the SoulFire Phoenix Rises
No more Westing
No more Resting
Phoenix Rising
Soul on Fire
Everything
Is slowly changing
She feels the Neteru crying
Every tear shed takes Her Higher
Every tear shed takes Her Higher
This is what it feels like when the SoulFire Phoenix Rises

Hip-Hop Pedagogy Community Education Workshop Series…
Hip Hop Culture is a reverberation of centuries-long resistance to oppression by Black and Brown people in the Americas. Born in the Bronx from meager beginnings; emerging from the ghetto streets plagued by poverty and violence, Hip Hop is now a medium that empowers people across the globe. However, the Hip Hop Industry and, to some degree, the world of Hip Hop Education are no longer held accountable to the people. This Program seeks to reconnect the most influential parts of Hip Hop with the streets it was born from.
– Zulu King K~Swift
The Hip-Hop Pedagogy Community Education Workshop Series is designed to promote the multidisciplinary pedagogy of Hip-Hop Culture. Recognizing Hip-Hop as a major influence on youth culture today, this workshop series will inspire participants through the Five Elements of Hip-Hop Culture.
