lyrics

Beaten under bridges where I live/ with my kids
Trash lids open/ on the lam/ out the pen
When I ran shit/ never thought I’d see the damn clan spit
On the old god/ with his odd gold teeth
And his raw-soled sneaks/ now it’s all so deep

Protect your nest/ projects infect the best
And reject the rest/ caress the flesh so patient
Then leave your head meshed with the pavement/

In Laymen’s/ terms I been spurned by the turned back/
Burnt black/ dirt-nap/ taking bird baths latched tight/ in
A rest stop stall with my raps so black
And my last thoughts scrawled on the cracked white walls

I miss my moms/ I kiss the picture in my palm
This system’s making victims of us all
I listen for your call but it never crawls underneath my sheet
To shake me from my penance in the street/ it’s deep
