Wake up Dead Man

Lyrics

[Verse 1] This piano was played underwater by a slave ship's suicide jumper with 8 fingers And no we didn't take a selfie I'm squatting at the final frontier of gentrification To the east Sound bath meditation in a form of vacant Breaking bread, ribs, and hundred dollar bills Bank tried to scoop a cred Went in my past without a will Found her face down Blood pool, air thick and sickly Frigid December morning, please come quickly Black is savage facts on taxes No flags, no gods, no masters I don't have to do a thing but stay Black and die That's what my mother say Flow gon' run away Arcade on the deuce, Winter '81 overproof sound I don't feel my age Days spill into the next And the churches keep burnin' And the churches keep burnin' There's work and that's just where I come from It's not that something's up, but something's up! Back in our minds again Tell me what's happening This is not a revelation These are not revelations Wages ascend, don't get taxed And for us, even suspicion might not earn a trial Rottin' on an island, wildin', cap on silent Livin' off young lions and crooked guards alike She'd rather her own life tonight [Hook] All we hold Dear and close Seems so far from home If you hear my voice Roll back the stone Roll back the stone [Verse 2] Don't talk to me about Black on Black crime Unless you addressing the condition that we tend to live in in the mind Behind its design, the intention Sickness and its symptoms Symbols is bug I blow (?) zone Narco Jesus of the indigo telephone Whattaya do when you're low (low) Whattaya do when you're low (low) Whattaya do when you're low (low) The flesh is weak Yellow cones and caution tape My breast tissue absorbs cop bullets at close range Laugh in pain Whole hood felt Wrath of Kane Megablast '88 Shake the block, say your name, say your name Got engaged with a rock Shave off the top, flake Like when your man get a drop Triple flame emoji, too hot, too hot Prison to parole and you're back on block The recidivist vision concrete ceiling Rage to express most unsettling feelings behind a wall They used to hang you and cut the balls My baby ma tripping, won't visit at all Talk is cheap Faith is strong but desperate Holdin' on This beat so god damn (?) All night prep, can't stop me Death is only a dream Black gold Pipeline keep pumping These cuffs will keep you afloat [Outro] [?] [Hook] All we hold Dear and close Seems so far from home If you hear my voice Roll back the stone Roll back the stone Roll back the stone Roll back the stone
