what the fuck you thinking
preaching like the new abe lincoln
sinking
acting all embarrassed of your linkedin
drinking
following the pharaoh like a minion
inklings
of another era start to sink in
ya
i'm on the top of the world now
when it burn down
i'ma fall onto the dirt ground
and i'll search round
for an abundance of pure sound
and i'll verb nouns
running along to the first town
then i'll burst out in tears
and drown in fears
but til then gotta climb like a mountaineer
ya
my father scared for me to visit his homeland
so it sits like a myth that exists for no man
an abyss on a cliff that shifts on slow sand
till it drifts to the sea and i'm just a nomad
like Uh
i get why you're tempted by broad strokes
but god bro
try to put your foot inside their chacos
tryna put a wall up while you're swallowing a taco
tryna ban a people cuz you're insecurely macho
ya
what you want what you need
what you think the key to succeed
do you do it for the good or for the greed
or for the feeling that you get when they see
and they clap for your ass cuz you act like you're free
ya
fuck a border fuck a baseline
fuck a family that's limited to facetime
fuck the it's got not a thing to do with race line
fuck a law that can permit committing hate crime
fuck a man who stands on the land and spits in they face saying fuck em all i made mine
was this hatred learned through the grapevine
did you all get sick offa fake wine
i can smell your fear like a canine
breaking out in sweats till your wet at the waistline
good god i'm tempted to desert it all
but apathy'll just applaud at my curtain call
and agony'll choke my heart like a serpent yall
it takes disciplined hands to reverse a wall
