lyrics

Davis:
hard to tell if the future's bright
when surrounded by all this blight
outta mind outta sight
i embody John Henry's might
mighty moprhin big bad beetleborg
ponder the mic
like a wizard to a orb
psalms flow from my exalted horn
what knowledge you absorb
its mostly performative
brief instances of actual growth
mudblood sworn oaths
brownstone devoured by vines overgrowth
coat littered with sun-bleached bones
and the block is hot
heat swelters
water stagnates than evaporates
i'd rather not elaborate
i'll leave it to the mystery
i'm absolved by history
i rebuke your microscope
form the abstract
sonoluminescent AstroBlack
a refutation of all that is wack
sealed with candle wax

Joshua Virtue:
forgot your name before you told me
my nigga i told ya
auto misnomer it's not a sonata
it's a Sedona
Madonna
vultures in vogue voted most
popular posers
pockets of posies
bodies locked inside of they posters
eyes followed like haunted
paintings, they beckon us over
delectable culture invoke us
they who speak to the cobras
niggas fresh like the body of Christ
stale crackers shoulda put em on ice
we don't earn in this industry
your merit gets sold
you're not in control
twisted marionette holding a
precarious pose
mask cast over an aryan mold
entered the venue with a duffel bag
carrying gold and various scrolls
written in dead languages and yellow page tomes
with burnt edges listing four figure area codes
where do they go?
nary a bold nigga know
clap off and clap on i'm a different sex
met your world with with a face of flagrant disrespect
at your set fingering yo girl in my favorite dress
bet
popping beer bottles off ya baby's head
