| I did not come to play with you hoes
|
| I be up too damn early
|
| Few Joe Cola’s short of a case
|
| Gaps in my life, absent from photos, somehow kept the tapes
|
| Smack the taste out yo' mouth, steamed milk, coffee and cheddar scone
|
| I wandered Azania without a phone
|
| Ordered step
|
| Flash in death, when my dick get wet
|
| Hex breaker for hire, ten thousand tiny township fires ablaze
|
| I believe in survivors
|
| Lowkey oppressors call me brother
|
| Lowkey oppressors call me brother
|
| Lowkey oppressors call me brother
|
| Black men are white men too when convenient
|
| Speak it like you mean it
|
| And I never grab the mic without grabbing my-
|
| I’mma read, I’mma read, I’mma read, I’mma read, I’mma read
|
| I’mma read right through you
|
| Motherfucker right through you
|
| This is joy, this is summer
|
| Keep alive
|
| Keep alive
|
| Stay alive
|
| This is joy, this is summer
|
| Keep alive
|
| Keep alive
|
| Stay alive
|
| Jake radio, squawk and squeal
|
| Visible exhale, Nor’easter chill
|
| Im in layers of black
|
| Stretching these old bones, pointed toes
|
| Red and blue strobe play me on wax forever
|
| Blood on the doorframe, steady leaking
|
| Told him «take that shit across the way»
|
| Please pass me by
|
| I score fiends shooting the fair one
|
| Life ain’t but fuck it
|
| Sad chord shuffle, rushed percussion muffle
|
| Short barrel red potato, move when I say so
|
| They know, they know
|
| Look mom I get paid for my thoughts, sort of
|
| Yes that make room for me and mine
|
| Levi on the way in due time
|
| Shit don’t rhyme no more, but making more sense in my mind
|
| I been all kinds of poor
|
| I know the line divide and surviving and thriving
|
| What side? |
| What side? |
| What side?
|
| There’s a riot going on
|
| What a time you chose to be born
|
| Billy Woods wrote that line first though
|
| Nah nah
|
| Lone wolf and cub via Gary Grice
|
| Hold your fire 'til you see the whites
|
| Of their eyes, shocked life had one last surprise
|
| I was surprised to find people rather die than cut you a slice of the pie
|
| Nigga was aggy talkin' 'bout «I gots to gets mine»
|
| Thats when, I knew I’d never see him alive again
|
| Spliff like a pen, everything I wrote is in the wind
|
| We didn’t win, and I can’t see doing it all over |
