Slippery Slope |
Watching the world through a pair of broken eyeglasses |
I hope that what I see is only make-believe |
Watching the world through a pair of broken eyeglasses |
I watch the cats watch the mice |
Hit the weed 'til both legs fell asleep |
I’m not really there, fuck you gon' tell me? |
High and out of it, admittedly its own form of cowardice |
But yo, at six afro pick with the black power fist |
Corduroys and a turtleneck, I could’ve took your (unnecessary) |
Thirteen with the Malcom X hat, come on, man |
I invented bein' black, my skin was matte |
Carte blanche, I skipped the daps |
To-do list pristine, once your name on the list, the light’s green |
Peeled out the impounded Christine |
I remember when whites used to come to the hood |
Ask random black strangers for drugs |
Shrug, wistful look in the eye, blinkin' hard |
Like those was the days, blood |
Outside agitator, I get your natives worked up |
Women shimmin' out they burqas turnt up |
Sons turnt gay, dad like what the fuck? |
I don’t want trouble mister, I’m just tryna turn a buck |
And it’s sundown out by sun up |
This why I pack light, bag of tricks tied up tight |
Bindle on a stick, flophouse flea bit |
Still sleepin', daytime’s for twits |
While I was getting jumped, kept track of who got which licks |
Stop, stop hittin' him |
That’s mean |
Yeah |
I was supposed to stop drinkin' this month |
Ain’t seen a break since Tiger’s last fist pump |
My clothes is feelin' tight like a kid’s bunk |
Bed, I’ma dress like Alvin and the Chipmunks |
A long ass gown and red snapback |
I’m lookin' all abstract and half Bohemian |
The divine geometry of an afro’s median |
And other shit I retrofit meanings for later |
This hat for instance I found in a meteor crater |
I was teachin' my kid how Ben Franklin made kites fly |
Saw a bright white light appear in the night sky |
My son’s gonna feel free to be as weird as a white guy |
But probably won’t have the wealth to farm cucumbers |
But probably by that time you can farm through Tumblr |
Like, on the website you could, like grow shit right there |
Listen |
I’m so ebbed into stylin' that’s wilder than cold lampin' |
While it’s Flava Flav ain’t behave like no trampin' |
Holdin' hate talkin' Golden State ain’t no champin' (Trash) |
Hood people talkin' good we gon' go campin' (I'm good) |
All the unseen and in my case sun gleamin' |
Vex spinnin' the ex intended for puns meanin' |
Phonics on some black as Onyx word to Sonny Seeza |
Lookin' down the barrel of life like gun' cleanin' |
On some ready to shoot jack, I’m through the night |
Booky and dodgin' heavy pursuit crack a move gets tight |
Order stop, call the cops when they lack reason |
And other than when a brother offends for black breathin' |
As I hope for better options, but stay with my Listerine |
And keep it Otis Redding, Dock of the Bay type whistle cleanin' |
It could make you wanna kill a man |
If I’m real bein' shit’s demeanin' |
Ya think you know what I’m meanin'? |
