and everything changed, on a new year's day

Every official that come in
Cripples us leaves us maimed
Silent and tamed
And with our flesh and bones
He builds his homes

Southern fist
Rise through tha jungle mist
Clenched to smash power so cancerous
Black flag and a red star
A rising sun loomin over Los Angeles
Yes for Raza livin in La La
Like Gaza on to tha dawn Intifada
Reach for the lessons tha masked pass on
Seize tha metropolis
Its you its built on

Everything can change on new years day
Everything can change on a new years day
Everything can change on a new years day
Everything changed on a new years day

Cmon
War within a breath
Its land or death
War within a breath
Its land or death
War within a breath
Its land or death
War within a breath
Its land

Their existence is a crime
Their seat, their robe, their tie
Their land deeds
Their hired guns
Theyre tha crime

Shots heard underground round the rapture
Worlds eye captured
At last is a Mexican pasture
Tha masked screaming land or deathWithin a breath
A war from the depth of time
Shot four puppet governors in a line
Shook all tha world bankers
Who think they can rhyme
Shot the landlords who knew it was mine
Yes its a war from the depth of time

The Depostion of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie occurred on Ethiopian New Years, 1974, September 11....

this is actually the last photograph ever taken of the Emperor.

This report on the deposal of Haile Selassie I appeared in The Times on September 13, 1974. Haile Selassie I, who had ruled Ethiopia since 1930, was the last ever emperor of his country. There had been an earlier attempt to overthrow Selassie in 1960, but it had been quickly put down by loyalists. However, by 1974 a combination of factors including government corruption, inflation, drought, and famine led to a revolt by left-wing army officers that removed Selassie from power. He died in Addis Ababa on August 27, 1975. Between 1974 and 1987 Ethiopia was governed by the Provisional Military Administrative Council (PMAC), which mainly comprised the military and the police. It suspended the constitution, disbanded the bicameral parliament, and abolished the hereditary monarchy. By 1977, Lieutenant-General Aman Andom, mentioned in the article as the leader of the military government, had given way to Lieutenant-Colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam as the country’s chief political figure after a power struggle within the leadership.

technically yes, but I believe my point was a bit more ethiocentric.
