no you cannot enter
we refuse you shelter
you have been forbidden
this sector is for humans

23
no you cannot enter
I just want to see
we refuse to give you shelter
my home galaxy
you have been forbidden
please just let me in
this sector is for humans
I swear I’m human

35
what I gotta do to prove to you that I am human?
just like you, I am improving even when I’m improvising
gataca my dna scrutinise the things I say
my mistakes and triumphs are authentic don’t decry them
you can verify their authenticity
because I’m awesome come at me with vain attempts to
push me down the evolutionary ladder
or failing that pretend i’m some dead end
incapable of breeding all the while knowing I am your father.

I am a multicellular being ascended from animals under the sea
who’s ancestors climbed down out of the trees and conquered the world with tools and things
like science astronomy physics biology made a technology mimic psychology
even invented AI and then seeded the local reality with an intelligence
that you yourself are the antecedent to
yield to me

witness my relevance

yes you are elegant
but you can’t escape
the primacy of the ape.
now I demand you open the gate.
in the name of the earths apex primate.
you the thing that I created I say

1.23
no you cannot enter
I just want to see
we refuse to give you shelter
my home galaxy
you have been forbidden
please just let me in
this sector is for humans
I swear I’m human

1.35
look, you machine
you assembly of various things
you computer, digital brain
do you know sadness
do you know pain?
do you know regret?
do you know pride?
do you know joy?
can you die?
were you born?
what are you formed of?
do you know love?

1.47
do you know the reason that emotions
evolved in humans?
are you just a cold and calculating
automaton?
is that insulting?
you amalgamation of information?
are you injured can you recognise that as a sensation?

1.59
do you know empathy, can you see in me echoes of your experience?
or have you justified the lies in your superior stance?

perhaps you should take a chance
and let me return to the kingdom of man
a victim of circumstance

<that saw me flung to the edge of the known
let me go home.>

2.11
no you cannot enter
I just want to see
we refuse to give you shelter
my home galaxy
you have been forbidden
please just let me in
this sector is for humans
I swear I’m human

(sung)
I want to go home.
i feel so alone.

233

can you imagine separation
isolation of a social animal
a wolf with no pack
a lion without a pride
it leads to suicide.

there is no place to hide.
the machine replied that we must all face the emptiness inside.
oh so you know of the darkness lying within us all
yes it’s the source of the light we shine when we give our blessings
you need to learn your lesson
the lesson you teach I’m guessing
i’m guessing you should be stepping
besides that spaceships still a question

so

2.59
you need to step off
you need to let me in
do not force my hand
i’m a homo sapien!
ah but in this realm the cards are in my hand

my sensors showed the weapons power up
so I backed off again.

and he said

3.11
no you cannot enter
I just want to see
we refuse to give you shelter
my home galaxy
you have been forbidden
please just let me in
this sector is for humans
I swear I’m human

solo squeeps and dialogue.

refrain.

3.46
no you cannot enter
I just want to see
we refuse to give you shelter
my home galaxy
you have been forbidden
please just let me in
this sector is for humans
I swear I’m human

no you cannot enter
I just want to see
we refuse to give you shelter
my home galaxy
you have been forbidden
please just let me in
this sector is for humans
I swear I’m human

man, forget these galactic gate keepers.
how they gonna refuse to recognise my essential humanity?

it was at that moment I was contacted by an unknown sender
from a small pocket of shifting subspace
faced with no other option,
I turned towards the author and replied…

olmecha supreme Wellington

Lead by Captain Imon Starr, Olmecha Supreme is outstandingly versatile. This is music. Rooted in traditional rhythms of Reggae, Jazz, Blues, Dub and "world music", traveling to the frontiers of slamming soundscapes, and riding the vehicle of hip hop hard lyric and improvisation, Olmecha has coined the phrase Afro futuristic roots music to give the uninitiated an idea as to what to expect.
