Lyrics 2:30 - Propaganda, L's

2:30

In 2017, two minutes and 30 seconds, we were on Pangea one land, one nation,
one planet.
I, and my ancestors were the same age, two minutes.
Seconds.
We saw how small we are.
We saw how privileged we are to see how small we are.
We saw black was beautiful.
And if you just let black be black and it blocks
out the light, the light rebuilds, the brilliance, it didn’t even know it
You know, we should trust black more mixed mtaphors could speak volumes.
Planet knw we needed it.
We were two days away from Nazis marching on American
soil spitting the most viral irony on the american myths, the greatest
generation rhetoric.
We were three days away from cars, driving into peace,
white lives matter, blood and soil appropriated, Polynesian, mosquito
repellents turned white hoods, Tiki torches, turnt burnt crosses frat boy
uniforms in all khaki, which were kind of funny though
Three days ago, we were one planet, two minutes, 30 seconds.
Our perspective
was orbital.
Would you know it?
When you look back down at the ground from
space, the word America ain’t written across the ground, it don’t look like the
maps.
Streaked across the globe, streamed revolution, televised bend,
Oregon highways turns into one ways to support the traffic
Kim Jung was singing Bob Marley, Vlad French kissed Trump, Tanahashi at Cornell
squashed their beef, Biggie and 2Pac did a song together, Stormy Daniels and
the prophet Daniel drank Thunderbird, Elvis and swing dancing finally admitted
to being appropriators and gentrifiers, weinstein thought twice about unzipping
and meek, he was set free early two minutes, 30 seconds
I straightened my side eye at them sitting low red hats, hippie white girls
with hoola-hoops Who cared about traffic on the 4 0 5 heavenly bodies just
showed off their curves.
Beautiful stretch marks space can be sexy.
Let our appetite for destruction satiate for a second.
Traded our guns for
roses.
Two minutes, 30 seconds
You too cool for the glasses was you too stupid to not look directly at it?
Did our president actually look directly at it?
After every expert said,
don’t look directly at it.
Did you laugh?
You ever made out with somebody,
you know, you shouldn’t, have?
You ever touched something, you know,
you wasn’t posted touch?
Aye you ever seen an eclipse?
You ever been to Stone henge?
You ever felt connected to Mayans and Druids at
the same time?
Doguns, Egypt, Etruscans, Ethiopians, two minutes, 30 seconds.
Have you ever experienced something that was so far above you and what’s going
to happen, whether you was there or not get, it felt like the entirety of the
Cosmos
Conspired just to show you something about yourself.
Two minutes, 30 seconds.
Too bad none of us will be alive for the next one
