Yo I’ma ask y’all like one time, maybe three more
times stop, stop abstracting

stop abstracting us on paper and shit
stop redistricting lives
you know what I’m saying like
oh god ok, lemme tell y’all a short story
alright alright ok yeah go shit
hos on my dick ‘cuz I look like a drawing
of the Prophet Muhammad
get blasphemous and get hard quick
yo these days it don’t take much
to get indoctrinated
becuz we post-aesthetic or maybe what, yea
hos on my dick ‘cuz I look like a drawing
of the Prophet Muhammad
get blasphemous and get hard quick
yo these days it don’t take much
to get indoctrinated
becuz we post-aesthetic or maybe what, yo
this is the guest verse
prefab bed and breakfast
the feeling is post-verve
instantly jack up my feature prices
for a side of avocado toast
with Thurgood Marshall
shooting appellate dice
in a back alley
storefront algorithms
with the art-washed itinerants
catching a free show of leftist takedowns
with after-discourse mints
while the out-of-towner pressures seem upbeat
see, one eighth dotted on the legal foyer
vaping on the bidet
while Egyptologists in the sheets
shows that you that settler colonialism
ain’t really so neat
hos on my dick ‘cuz I look like a drawing
of the Prophet Muhammad
get blasphemous and get hard quick
yo these days it don’t take much
to get indoctrinated
becuz we post-aesthetic or what like
hos on my dick ‘cuz I look like a drawing
of the Prophet Muhammad
get blasphemous and get hard quick
yo these days it don’t take much
to get indoctrinated
becuz we post-aesthetic or maybe copacetic
or maybe we [???]
hos on my dick ‘cuz I look like a drawing of the Prophet Muhammad!!!!

rosary callous mouthed
between the lips
faith breaks a tacit armistice
grain filter
pedals with a right drift
when everything but
due diligence
touches the fucking kids
(x2)
the pope is an unrepentant rapist
(or least apologist, you know what I mean?)
Sedevacantists doing the same shit
Holy See in the hands of a fatalist
the pope is an unrepentant rapist
the president is a rapist
the pope is a fucking rapist
every president is a rapist
every billionaire is a rapist
your landlord is a rapist
from the teleprompter
direct ex cathedra
global south minerals
on forehead double feature
marquee dead language
gendarme cartesian
halberd usher
crooning in a malfeasance
the hair of dog with alopecia
and jaundice
excommunicating over cocktails
wringing a business
relationship down to the
T’s on a fundamentalist script
says the deacon of foley
clanging the pews for research
Antonio Mcdyess book of prayers for
draft of knee hurt
12th pick first round
and the progress start to revert
12th pick first round
and the progress start to revert
opiate of the masses
in a jigger go figure
certainly drawn from well
hock-spit reconfigured
(x2)
the pope is an unrepentant rapist
(or least apologist, you know what I’m saying?)
Sedevacantists doing the same shit
Holy See in the hands of a fatalist
the pope is an unrepentant rapist
Sedevacantists doing the same shit
the pope is a fucking rapist
every president is a rapist
every billionaire is a rapist
your landlord is a rapist
your boss is a fucking rapist
your insurance is a rapist
your gym teacher is a rapist
your therapist is a rapist
your CPA is a rapist
your ISP is a rapist
your favorite artist is a fucking rapist
and you?

don’t want a birthright as colonizer
unoccupied as sympathizer
I remove my two eyes
and set ‘em in a two state solution
to soak eye contact
(eye contact)
the Chickasaw shiksa
fiddles on the roof of her mouth
a yenta eats polenta
in the global south
I fumigate the mishegas
on 20 inch Michelins
on the Columbus route
10-East, sans yeast
unleavened
shouts out to the power of god bombing
the comedy club in heaven
when faces express like a true Levinas
don’t want a birthright as colonizer
unoccupied as sympathizer
I remove my two eyes
and set ‘em in a two state solution
to soak eye contact
testament to a circus tent
the schmendricks levy
service complaints
for a dearth of challah
well, holla
to decades wandering the desert
evicting into choice karma
like a two state solution
to soak eye contact
baruch atah adonai
pass the peace to the minister
who got eyes low and lukewarm
a Jerusalem blue
holla
to decades wandering the desert
evicting into choice karma
like a two state—
ok, well
watch for the growing few who
substitute the war flutes into Klezmer music
as instruments of foreign aid
sustaining right to left Hebrew
to center what is Jewish
let it not fall in line to be hubris
don’t want a birthright as colonizer
unoccupied as sympathizer
I remove my two eyes
and set ‘em in a two state solution
to soak eye contact
(eye contact)
don’t wanna be your colonizer
unoccupied as sympathizer
I remove my two eyes
and set ‘em in a two state solution
to soak eye contact
(eye contact)
holla
to decades wandering the desert
evicting into choice karma
like a two state solution
to soak eye contact
eye contact
eye contact
eye contact

it is what it is ain't what it used to be (x2)!!!!
it is winter in outer space
it is justice in the West
dole farms in East Baltimore
sex offenders in grade school
it is doping in last place
influencers in no coverage zones
it is Black people in demilitarized areas
white women in Billboard Top Urban 100s
it is comedians in mourning
it is morning in the Cupertino empire
Coltan in Croatia
it is Yugoslavia in newly published books
memes in handwriting
handwriting in memes
real estate in imaginary places
it is imagination in the Oval Office
imagine, imagine
imagination in the Oval Office
imagine
1488 in Battlefield 5
it is god, country in an NDA
hush money in special counsel
character assassination under character limits
it is public relations in 2019 2020, 2021, 22, 23
it is what it is ain't what it used to be (x4)!!!!

washing dishes for these dirty whiteboys

inability to self-reflect
(oh man these fucking dudes man, oh fuck yeah?)
thought to co-inhabitants
(yo, you really gonna fucking do that?)

surrounded by dirty whiteboys
picking up after dirty whiteboys
the behest of the dirty whiteboys
making house for these dirty whiteboys

king eternal
03:43

(written by Tunde Adebimpe and David Sitek for TV on The Radio)
All men condemned by men to die
Damned by blind bitch in hallowed halls
Hear it, heed this call:
Oh fucking eternal
Infinity's hourglass will measure all measure all
So, power
Cover your balls
'Cause we swing kung fu
Oh fucking eternal
Oh fucking eternal
Afraid of thunder children, so hide your ears
Hope your fortress holds up for many many many years
Shudder, it's a shame
Lightning, call the game
Send us up a baby boy
Let the smoke carry his name
If it's a girl let her shine
We will be
Oh fucking eternal
The hour of man is nigh
So gather up all supplies
And stack 'em up high
Stack 'em up high
Faith, Nathan I could see it in your eyes
Warmth, Nathan I can see it in your eyes
Golden houses, silver brides
Immortal erection, tongues untied
Oh fucking eternal
Oh fucking
We will be
