Lyrics

[Verse 1] Watching America burn from distant shores I learned to walk hot coals before I left the east coast Blackhand legend remains Call devils by their name A month late A few hundred short, but glad you came At least for everybody here for the disrupt We're our ancestor's wildest dreams Capture West African nomads To doubling back on my own Reverse middle passage in the name of love [Verse 2] Signs and wonders and nation shutters We can't be friends we can be lovers I don't want it if the justice ain't transformative Before this line dies be sure to cross-reference my coordinates Piano wire loose Came from out the ruse Strange flute Moonshine I don't need no Bantu education [Verse 3] Don't care if its offbeat or on As long as the intent is pure and my delivery is honest Illusion around us, show me who you are How bout wait until tomorrow America's a dying star Please serve chitlins at the repass Cop killer hymns Ice TV, I pity you my nigga Bloody fingers on the keypad Shoot first House of cards, pre-fad molotov bandanas Kalashnikov, police scanners I used to think body cameras was part of the answer But now I just feel stupid Lucifer's son who warned us That we can't be passed through I'm less insured Liberation independent of defeat to feel comfortable Whiteness is blinding I don't need receipts, niggas been dying Blood can't be bleached What is this forgiveness you speak I just wanna live I just wanna live
