lyrics

god&me

god and me, all in me, guardin' me, garden need
off the kilt when eye measure up
kick w/ kill in the city's cusp
stagger hands leading
change to cups
language barred like we can't complete or
real time
trust
shadow on the settle
dust settle shadow spirit
inner realm eye can hear it
vibrate the waters till its clearly
momma bore me in that all straight

god and me, all in me, guidin' me, garden--need
every herb that we twist to fire
levitate in my true design
gifted cause the deep gave me mine
its elyone when we unify
when you unify
when you unify



birth after buck

moon light, sassafras, muscadines off the hidden vine
sand hills like sandstone of a stone mason from a distant land
ema pop & ahki out top riding down out by the kingstree
cried silent while we burned you
emerald green how we urned you
took turns to pray

say they love the ahki cause he young in from the south
with the skin super brown got a gol’ up in his mouth

parking lot pimpin' with no car
i'm hearin' the stories from ami but they love was different
i scramble the poem cause magic my vision
reading scriptures the language i'm seeking
gibran to gregory nigger to prophet
parliament politics funk was my logic then
daddy blast jazz in the mornings then
james cleveland commissioned flip’n the tape on to cd
shotty w/ pappy man this shit was in me
when i see baby they know they gon' feel me
always askin' questions when in the city
when i see drizzy
you gon' feel me, yeah

funerals like reunions without the fun but all the pay
memories bout death bright when my mama told all the lights would lead the way
who's gon' watch the youngins' while we bury
fights break'n out emotions on the floor
still ain’t heard past situations
all my elders go’n all elders skat’n
trauma buried safely under that family tree
actin like negu don’t see
they got that thing lock’d/like under sea see
act’n like a ngh don't see

prayers for my altar candle for my peace
prayers for my altar candle for my peace
prayers for my altar candle for my peace

with that skin super brown got that gol' up in his mouth
with that skin super brown got that gol' up in his mouth



somewhere in amerikkka an overcooked rice face fatherfuckr—



wrkn

workin' all day no play no way
workin' all day some play ok
workin' all day no play no way
workin' all day no play no
workin' all—yes—no play no
workin' all day some play ok
workin' all day no play no way
workin' all—shima

cause a'baby need sativa
for my baby needin' sippy cup
for my ami — only us
word to ahki — chosen ones
vision crystal — water clear
molten sand time — the chandelier
i read the or and drop a orb for real
im in the land not the world for real
avv call negu call ema call
people call that babylon
evil drawlin'
i been — y’all been ballin'
see the mystery
broken history
reformatted by the demon leaking speech
i ain't fuck
neo-papacy
all yo' nazi shit is level puppetry

workin' all day no play no way
workin' all day some play ok
workin' all day no play no way
workin' all day no play no
workin' all—yes—no play no
workin' all day some play ok
workin' all day no play no way
workin' all—shima

good gawd
cherubim
runnin' with that
mem-ah-yim
spell castin' off the holy gin
head out the whip jerk the tire dip—in
all of the scripts that he workin' on
sweat till the season has seasoned off
speak to my — in my 5th reply
spirit work twist the hip all inline
restabilize all the trauma waves so pappy can rest in life
walk down to death like he on retrieval
he don't dine in hell, he don't stunt the evil
fuck you mean!
talkn' bout
being voice
of the people
you be stupid hopin' they receive you
stick to the spirit the vision with you

workin' all—yeah—no play
you know that
you know that
you know that
workin' all day some play ok
workin' all day no play no way
workin' all day no play no
workin' all—yes—no play no
workin' all day some play ok
workin' all day no play no way
workin' all—shima



looking for a place to die

imagine me—spread peace can’t speak
broke step off gate get geek
fro martin—bare feet
with the sword in the street
tongue garbled spit’n marbles
lid warble—need blink
rap therapy sphinx
ngz was so broke—lost hope
’08 sold sinks—shit'll make your soul sink
what you think

blast this in my ahk’m rv
red dead rust plagued to the seat
still we—

i'm looking for a place
i'm looking for a place to die
i'm looking for a place to die
to be it and mine—right

house of leaves
big body at 133
crash mouth—molar cut shaved leak
peppermint swirl sink
gut crink’n help
sos— health on brink, fathom
dumb poor can’t afford to even eat the medi
just to squeeze the shit out
lemon balm fields when i sleep that the dream now
young'n so quick s'moke green, just to tryout
most want the power of control, not the full route
land owner tax slippn' easy bo’ let me find out
two asses 40 ache with the gate
watch me dry out
face hair long wooly white
eyes dancin' like the christ
still waters, thief of night
like

i'm looking for a place to
like inside outside upside out wide
i'm looking for a place to die



majesty

yeh yeh yeh
you know i
child of th all mighty and wide

we be the same and that's divine
all up in the body meditating on the gift
all up in the ruahki tracing depths what it is
dealing with the test of navigating with a cadence
riding out like i’m candi with a blade & a spear
because i need you

i need you all alive
why can't we just…i mean
why can't we just align

buck get cut can't even wait

bay stay strap'd can't even play
cause the beast be out n’all manner ways
yeah the warfare psycho-energetic with
the time sign slid'n in prophetic
