Lyrics

[Intro: Sample] "I have locked and barred the door There is danger in the devil's hall" [Verse 1: E L U C I D] This piano is played underwater by a slave ship's suicide jumper with 8 fingers And no he 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's is (?) fast 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 burning And the churches keep burning 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 Ridin' on an island, wildin', cats all silent Livin' off young lions and crooked guards alike She'd rather take her own life tonight [Interlude: Sample] "The Antique Black belongs to me The Antique Black belongs to me I plan to present them to my friends The brother of a greater universe" [Verse 2: E L U C I D] Don't talk to me about Black on Blqck crime Unless you addressing the condition that we tend to live in the mind Behind its design, the intention Sickness and its symptoms Symbols is bug I blow a dub and zone Narco Jesus of the indigo telephone What'd ya' do when you low (low) What'd ya' do when you low (low) What'd ya' do when you 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 Gotta engage with a rock Shave off the top, flick Like when your man get a drop Triple flame emoji, too hot, too hot Prison to parole and you're back on the block The recidivist vision concrete ceiling Rage to express the most unsettling feelings behind the 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
