lyrics

white supremacy is
our Babies gettin sniped
from atop high rises designed by frank lloyd wright
only to be called mischievous monkeys or thieves in the night
by talking heads on talk boxes to our Umi's horror and the saltine's delight
or that's what it seems to be, to me at least
bared teeth on a sable face is that such a scary sight
whether is be malicious or joyous
the utterances from this maw they stay boisterous
sold lies of eden like reconstruction and the great migration
no wonder we fear the destruction that comes with creation
fraction my soul into pieces, pass em out like grade school valentines
this community my nigga what's yours is mine
and vice versa
these vices might put me in a early hearse but
still the last child of a lost empire
El Dorado's son
lungs of gold
my breath be aurum
and leave the mic in gilded decorum
like fallin leaves in autumn
winter round the way, death be sweet like sorghum
watch your back my nigga
cause the rona won't miss ya if the cops don't lynch ya
