| Blow out the candles. |
| Tonight I don’t want any light wasted
|
| Film Americana fills my mouth but even light doesn’t taste good
|
| That’s why MC’s spit out
|
| Faced with compensating complacence we turn away to rinse with act still this
|
| selfish plague lingers
|
| Like twelve years of drum disease
|
| Mix black, white, New Orleans, New York and gargle twice daily, drops of art’s
|
| saline
|
| Everything’s gone blurry
|
| What we saw clearly in the womb most won’t know at thirty
|
| It’s a Thursday and I sit at home worried of soul hygiene
|
| Like nat used all the training Visine
|
| Defining literally what to be a mic fiend
|
| We smoke away our pipe dreams
|
| Yellow teeth decay and fallout, we stay all out, and always, all out,
|
| wondering what hell this hole crawled out
|
| And touch the sky’s mouth with this thing these songs house
|
| We till the earth with dark clouds 'till the earth’s scars heal
|
| We resurrect the stars dile
|
| Pierce the night with large howls
|
| We peace white walls with shit like revolution right now
|
| Square off with sons of darkness in night rounds
|
| We circle daughters of light wearing bright crowns
|
| I’m like, bound to free death
|
| Might drown in these breaths
|
| Mics crowd and need rest
|
| I frown and detest white power and regress to beat laid down for these heads
|
| And this mic ain’t going now where
|
| Till I bush my teeth where justice leaks and trust my beats to put me down for
|
| another night
|
| Blow out the candles, and get some rest |
