lyrics

CHORUS:
Of the truth in me/
Light falls ruthlessly

VERSE 1:
Orbital ventriloquy
Words formed ethereally
Sculptured materially
At pier pondered unseasoned scenery
Lightness of skies machinery
Time escapes with thievery
If it’s consecutive relatives
Then what’s graffitiing?
Counterintelligence programmed
For certain melanin’s/ adrenaline again
Rather sell a brother to the pen
Then let Black and Brown seeds settle in
If it weren’t for your meddling irreverence
Leverage lassoed reticence/
With a dash of tabasco and severance

CHORUS:
Hip hop soliloquy
Deconstruct antiquity
Dark from light epiphany
Shadows cast indifferently
Of the truth in me/
Light falls ruthlessly

VERSE 2:
Found leviathan/
Leave him in piles then
Phoenix filing/
Vivisect survival in
Compartmentalizing tiling/
Reviling what they’re mired in
A complex about his complex
In his smile when

CHORUS:
Hip hop soliloquy/
Deconstruct antiquity
Dark from light epiphany/
Shadows cast indifferently
Of the truth in me/
Light falls ruthlessly

VERSE 3:
Riot went a violet in rifle surprising revival/
Segregated infrastructure intersects Chicago’s vital
Lines like Secobarbital/ Fred Hampton’s martyrdom
Not a single apologist from the government/
Now with a smarter drone
With a silo-shelled hologram/ hauled within
Howling song: dawning slit/
No solving it
Self-started kit/ Mind gardening
Tool sharpening/ tried harkening
Back to the alarming/ pardoning behind bargaining
Harvesting without targeted/
Un-futured suturing/ of the truth in me
The light falls ruthlessly
