 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Tell me how sway am I gonna make it
Kanye shit

In the face of crass faces
Procrastination

Sick as hell
Can't take no days vacation

Fall out evacuation
Remain devout and patient

Via radio waves from angels

I heard about libra scales
The key to wellness

And serene scenes of synchronicity
Promised if I pray and display humility

Commercial interruption
Runnin after bucks
A walking exercise in futility

Gotta make cents since the city
Tries to capitalize on human capital

Spill ya blood and tax you as utility

Water works collected
Place settings paper
Never paid a severance

Better to sever the slave cord
Cut the cable

No more channel surfin, I'm live
Station identified

Don't have to go searching to find peace
I am A dash peace sign

And that's the paradox locked inside
Of a box inside of which is a book

In which most niggas'll prolly never look

Cuz niggas don't even read
Between the lines they say

Stand-ins come extra on Black Friday
On hell's highway

Mary weepin
Missed the supermarket sweepin

Lonely Martha moanin
Sun ain't come home in the mornin
Whereabouts unknown

Awoke to the Marvelettes
A letter from the postman

Sent via certified mail notice
Sayin the judicials did ju jitsu
On her boy bogus, took em down

Something ain't feel right
She told him

You gotta stay focused
Especially at night, it's all kinda clowns
Roamin the town

Next moment the clouds rolled in
Supposing

How a man posed to
Live life lavish, with no carin

Nostrils naturally flarin to let air in

To them that's the creature feature
Harrowin these Ann Darrows
Handed pitchforks and arrows

Primate depiction that has a man
Up against a system
And a sentence that wasn't meant

I mean when he said
Not guilty the first time
He meant it

Doubled up 10
Dub spent, demented

Damn shame
More than half his life
Down the drain

System abnormality
Became the norm

Tip toe the green mile
Extractin that which is deemed vile
Defeated form

Malignant growths
Black spots
Quarantine the basement black mold

The coagula tragic bruh
Y'all coulda just sent me back to Africa

Modern day trials
Like a state sponsored
Hitched trailer after us

Take a hike or high tail it
Hit by hooded henchmen assailants

After the crash
Check the black box
Demographics African

3/5ths a fraction American

So when it's time to census

I see the black box and just stare at it

Thought I found peace
But really I don't know where it is
