Punishment
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
