| 1…200 rappers th… they all died
|
| by gun empty anger honest or hype
|
| they all died
|
| and when all the legends
|
| and heavens for them had all but went dry
|
| was there a measure to their records
|
| that had left them twice lived
|
| Ants carry their dead in their mouth
|
| Convict hard at the foot of our art…
|
| Character is what you are
|
| in the dark.
|
| In that yet
|
| Ain’t it the overpainted arrangement
|
| Of all that is painless
|
| And harmful to the pit of a person
|
| Not This famous estranging of the self to the self
|
| Otherwise Completely ingrained in
|
| You in the eye of a cut records half life
|
| Destined to lap twice your cell soaked gross daylight
|
| Intook
|
| Intook you stood And in alphabetical order you will stand
|
| Low amongst recordstore stocks and blues thief’s beliefs
|
| A testament to the achievements Of one
|
| who pushed his teeth Deep in the matter
|
| of his def decades before sleep
|
| Hell crows gotta eat
|
| And you are what is lost
|
| Ghost seeking sheet
|
| And Character is what you are In the dark
|
| From where the rent check barks
|
| Into the single cell of all things heart
|
| Each ant in their house
|
| Each ant In their stark
|
| And eventhough the closeness of continents may shift
|
| These songs are a brightblack that’ll never lift
|
| Yet let’s light leek, And now a days when we meet
|
| In a dive’s lowlit pits, we can hardly speak
|
| The words for where our dreams went weak
|
| trying the flame in our preach
|
| And it’s proof, That fires grow bigger than men
|
| To become A thing beyond pen
|
| that cometime can’t eat, From its blood in a beat
|
| Or isn’t it then
|
| Laughlines buried under a briar of beards
|
| Some drugged blind so they can yolk a whole year
|
| And grow tongue from to the coal of burnt
|
| gone&cold peers
|
| Beneath the quiet onset of the darkening ear…
|
| You see my firefriend
|
| One hunger can never truly eat another
|
| One’s hunger can never truly eat another’s
|
| Each ant
|
| in their house,
|
| Each G ant
|
| in their house… |
