Hanging by a noose

Hanging by a thread

Hanging by a noose

Hanging by a thread

Hanging by a noose

Hanging by a thread

Hanging by a noose

Another brother dead

If I can… take the stand

I would tell you that some of us were licked before we began

That freedom was just writing in the sand

With the bible under my left hand

I’d ask the jury what makes them so grand

Was it all part of the plan?

God damn, I got a list of demands

Going ballistic and I’ll never play pretend

That we don’t kill sons and send pics to the fam

Sick twisted revenge. When will this shit end?

These the cards we were dealt, So it’s hands on deck

For the lives they hijack. The last time I checked

Some fall through the cracks I’m pondering the text

Of Martin Luther King

While they looting queens of their now and future Kings up in Queens hearing all the screams in the scenes of my lucid dreams

And this life seems obscene all about the green so we fight fiends pricing life among other things

Hanging by a noose

Hanging by a thread

This was the life I was fed

Came under curse

And seen the worst

This is the life that I feared

Hanging by a noose

Hanging by a thread

This was the life I was fed

I know, deep down

I’ve seen brothers die

Deterrence? Detergent. To wash away the sins

Of a nation, determined, to take away our kings

Now it’s urgent. Like sturgeons, they hiding gold within

Heating up the furnace, yeah I’m going in…

Pen game heavy I don’t leave my sentences lighter

Lighter to my sentences you’ll start a fire

Not vigil, inferno, this is the canto

Whatever the pantone, fuck your skin tone

Allegiance to flag or Stockholm syndrome?

No reason to brag, I’mma let that thing go

Island of tyrants, silence is violence

It’s time for the inmates to run the asylum

Confiscated youths, obfuscated truths

System set-up for some of us to lose

Ovations, Guilty by association

No hesitation, assassination

We lost our humanity between neck and C4

So be sure, no detours, seen this scene before

The stage door, trap floor, blunt force, snap cord

Pray for, back to default

I lay sword towards court and ask what’s it’s forte

The retort, I keep score, is there’s no recourse

Patience running thin like the blood of CB4

And I’m tearing at skin asking what we bleed for?

I’ve been up all day…

Enchante, to meet my fate

No sleep all night

Ready more than ever, sunrise demise

We are defined by deaf ear and blind eye

And the law is a priori

Seek the fall guy

The pimped butterfly

Justice move it to the side

Dead till proven otherwise
