The lyrics of the song “Mothership Connection” contain aspects of afrofuturism. The introducing lines “well, all right, Starchild citizens of the universe, recording angels, we have returned to claim the pyramids partying on the mothership, I am the mothership connection” refer to the future and the black people have returned from their planet to take back their stolen properties for example the pyramids they built during the time of slavery. It also indicates that now they are more powerful than white people. The lyrics of the song also suggest that African Americas are unified meaning that if one person is hurt, everyone is affected by it “hit me, you gotta hit the band”. Mothership is also the chariot that helps listeners of the song to escape, told in the line “swing down, sweet chariot, stop and let me ride”. The lyrics “swing down” refer to an old negro spiritual “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” which is about the daily hardships as a slave and being rescued from slavery. Parliament’s work was fully absorbed in afrofuturistic themes. The artistic vision of Clinton was planted in the album Chocolate City with the opening song being “Chocolate City”. This lyrics of the first track start with “Clinton’s half-spoken, half-rapped first verse, “What’s happening CC [Chocolate City]? They still call it the White House, but that’s a temporary condition too. Can you dig it, CC?”(Bird,31). The album’s theme focused on Washington, D.C. which was a place where blacks settled when they migrated from the south. At the beginning of the 1960s, Washington and the District of Columbia were two different places. The former was “the White House, monuments, slick museums and ornate embassies”, while the latter was “neighborhoods, playgrounds, stores and churches”(Bird,31). Following the riots spewing from the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination, black people began splitting off into different neighborhoods. Here, black people formed a vision in the midst of the division that was taking place. Clinton saw their power in unity and took this idea and applied it to “Chocolate City”. He states that the migration of blacks to the inner city was a good thing and that it would evolve into a chocolate city. Clinton goes on to say, “Tell ‘em to make sure they got their James Brown pass. And don’t be surprised if Ali is in the White House. Reverend Ike, Secretary of the Treasury. Richard Pryor, Minister of Education. Stevie Wonder, Secretary of Fine Arts. And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady. Are you out there, CC? A chocolate city is no dream. It’s my piece of the rock and I dig you, CC”(Bird,31). This vision of a utopia that Clinton has is important because it has been inspected in other afrofuturistic art forms. The lyrics of this song illustrate the seeds of his vision that would eventually help him carry out this afrofuturistic approach to his music.
