lyrics

(Chorus 2x)
Empire shakes beneath the weight of its sins
look up out the window know this shit finna end
too big to fail man this shit gon pop
play the key of life with a hammer and glock

(Chucky)
Since 93 i’ve survived three apocalypse
Global warning pending so i opted in to talking shit
Black man rapping is my politics
Art making negro is the opposite of white politicians
Wolf in sheep’s clothing or the isms
cause of your anxiety’s decisions
freedoms all good until you get it
now you gotta reason your existence
bottling too much will make you end it
40 years from now
you’re looking down upon your
Uncalloused hands asking what’ve really done
there I go projecting
hit the course correction never sweat it
Never let the fear fuck up the present
past tense niggas in a prison
I be like when light hit he prism
darkside rhyming right now is what you getting
Fuck the pigs and the police
me, I abide by the laws of physics only
until I leave my body on some sick shit
zeitgeist dies to diction
rhyme scheme the E=mc2 if you listen
driving to fast you might miss it
Driving to fast you might

(Chorus)

(Eldon)
While he grasped at the mirage of his muscles’ own immediacy
he made no real progress along the road to real regency
what they call a lull i call leniency
Pussyfooting purveyors of tricknology encode their own indecency
Believe themselves to be warriors and that they’re not
Simply just another scratch upon the granite block
i ran the gamut hot, bare footed and unwashed
Traded talent for rock and slang stone at Goliath’s lot
Traded rock for a don cannon and began banging out on the block
Ran up on their city hall and planted the tick tock
Guido Fawkes on the tongue
all parliaments fi get stung
she said slow down sweet chariot i too buss my gun
I said hop inside
lets give revolution a ride
insurrection is love spelled backwards and I am weary of love denied
They say history don’t repeat itself but it does rhyme
With that in mind consider i and i soothsayers of the times
the black Sublime
