lyrics

My problem is
I'm too poetic,
prosodic in profession,
harmonic chord progressions.
I've got more to be stressing
than these words that I rip
like bitter winds do lips,
like Winterkin with whips.
Lighting hitter-ones and rip.
Little ripper sipping, soak in token oceans
Floating in frozen lakes,
choking on hot debates,
hoping that the first mistake
wasn't me tryna be great.

I wasn't tryna be great!
what I wanted was to beat the wai
'cause I couldn't escape.
Where I waited white was hate,
wanted to wipe us off their asses,
like brown sticking molasses.
That's why I'm taking classes
over by North Shore
where both drab and fantastic get snored
by snow so impassive.
But my folks poured
down the drain.
I don't know even know their names.
I'm bored on the El, and this piss smell
is really getting to me.
The getting is good: the gulls all a-gawking,
but cousin I'm caught caressing a Caucasian.

My baby ain't bad; she better than poison.
Swallow and swish whether wet or sword lick.
Of course it's a flick of the tongue.
Your boy spits from the tip of his lungs.
Drugs fun. Party done.
Love won.

This ain't Wimbledon!
I am not a simpleton,
neither are all of my brothers, sisters, and kin.
You cannot win.
You cannot win.
You cannot win.
Sin as a cultural idea is a spectacle.
Debord be proud of me: I got my lessons did.

My problem is
I'm too nice with it,
nice in the sens of playing dead for the vultures---
a culture so entrenched in conditioned
passive aggression, it's maddening.
But folks wanna use you,
when you slip, abuse you:
one o' six, in the glock or the box, waiting---
will they choose you?
Before then you will lose you;
you will lose yourself.
