The Black Box

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
