lyrics

they came and went
my 1st in
burst in
reverse
wind
to
spin
men
with
ten
sins
cause
sin
bends
pretend
friends
pre-ten-din
but
then
again
we ain't friends
begin
when
the beat grows
my heat glows
I speak
in
sequels
to feed
souls
and
reach
those
hoes
and
pimps
the dead
the quick
your pedestal
flips
weed seed
medical spliff
uh-huh
I hope
your president's listening
cause this wind
spins to
the top
of
the
earth
the dirt penman
no the first
women and men
were NOT injuns
they INDIGENOUS
you're the immigrant
...pop pop pop
who shoots
the innocent
wrap em
in a
christmas gift
glass full O' ashes
drinkin
that
wine
wickedness
see mine
ain't fine
but
I'm
diligent
see mine
keep dying
the cry's
militant
black minds
keep frying
they still shipping
it
black lives
crack rocks
the crack business
is
BLACK LIVES
DON"T MATTER
police privileges
just look
where
Bill & Hil
Clinton
is
...y'all still don't seem to be listening.
