lyrics

blow out the candles
tonight i don't want any light wasted
film americana fills my mouth
but even light doesn't taste good
that's why emcee's spit out
faced with conversative complacence
we turn away to rinse with acts
still this selfish plaque lingers
like twelve years of drum disease
mix black, white, new orleans, new york, and gargle twice daily
drops of art's saline
what we saw clearly in the womb most won't know at thirty
it's a thursday and i sit at home
worried of soul hygiene
like nat used all the trane-ing visine
d-finding literally what it is to be a mic fiend
we smoke away our pipe dreams
yellow teeth decay and fall out
we stay all out
in all ways
all out
wondering what hole this hell crawled out
if it's us it's god's mouth
if it's they call saul's house
we till the earth with our plow
'til the earth's scars heal
resurrect the stars' tao
pierce the night with large howls
piece ripe walls with shit like 'revolution right now'
square off with sons of darkness in night rounds
circle daughters of light
wearing bright crowns
i'm life-bound to free death
mics drowned in d's breath
smite crowds and need rest
i frown and detest white power and regress
to a beat down for these heads
and this mic ain't going nowhere
until i brush my teeth with justice leagues
and trust my beats to put me down
for another night
blow out the candles
and get some rest
