Burn my eyes out v2

burn my eyes out,
burn the lies out,
salt the earth,
summers coming, watch the ICE melt,
pound the pavement, bang the drum with a thigh bone,
whenever you see blue, you can spy chrome.
When I see the po, even though Im white as snow, I feel cold, 
because i know that if i wasn’t me, i could be in the death zone

how you think somebody feels / if their skin isn’t state approved? 
We know it takes all kinds, blacks and whites, reds and blues,
But let me issue what feels weird to say out loud but’s true:
the quote-unquote white race is centuries old fake news.

how many flowers, sitting shivas, mass graves, ghettos, concentration camps, riots,
new orleans funeral bands, wakes, cries of grief, 
services at synagogues, mosques, churches, temples, rituals, prayers and wreaths,
until that arc of the universe / is finally achieved?

I do believe.

But then I see a man with his life leaking out
cause his necks under a knee

I see and see 
What I saw 

And then I want to scream


I can’t ---

but always remember we got the dream, 
and you got a lie,
it might take a thousand years, 
but your kind is going bye, 

your tide is rising high, 
heres a coin for the boatman,
think you seen it all 
but youre blind, man, 
cant even see / 
your very own life, man.

donald trump and his kind might have their day
but their era of terror is doomed / to be  buried in the dust, 
burnt up like Pompeii,

ha, you think you’re alive? 

your kind’s just an empty impression / in the ash
for our great-great-great grandkids museums,
i learned it as a kid,
to every thing there is a season,
kids’ll spit on your grave
to bring the rhyme to completion.

Burn my eyes out

burn my eyes out,
burn the lies out,
salt the earth,
summers coming soon, watch the ICE melt,
pound the pavement, and bang the drum with a thigh bone,
any man needs shelter,
hes always welcome up in my home.

how come when theres blue 
i always spy chrome?
When I see the po, even though Im white as snow,
I feel cold, get too close 
and you go into the death zone.

so how you think a person feels
if their skin contains more melanin than mine? 

Now dont get it twisted, at the end of the day, 
cowardice and fear 
are color blind elements.
Ive seen all kinds, blacks and whites, reds and blues 
But the white race is just centuries old fake news,

it doesnt exist, but its still 
a dangerous concept,
thinking less of she or her or they or him and them,
its just so easy to be lenient,
because hatred is just / so convenient,
that anger flowing through your veins 
feels like such an easy win.

Dont be a Vader,
I hate the haters, 
sometimes i wish the president
would get ate by an alligator,
shit out orange diarrhea in the swamps of florida,
but those swamps are the graves
of Seminoles and warriors.

Murder and birth, 
being damn lazy, or putting in the work.
Staying down, 
or standing back up, despite the hurt.

Who had a flu game?
Who lied about nuclear weapons 
and financed Contras with that cocaine?
Whos on the night train?
Whos the true American?

Aint nobody perfect but we should try and do the right thing,
no excuses, the law no ones above it,
but when the systems fucked up
then there must be justice.

Now If youre of a cosmic turn, 
you might be relieved
to know that balance is always achieved,
the only question is 
how longs the trail of blood it leaves.

how many flowers, sitting shivas, mass graves camps and riots,
new orleans funeral bands and wakes and prayers and wreaths,
until that arc of the universe
is finally achieved?

I do believe.

But then I see a man with his life leaking out
cause his necks under a knee

But then I see and see and see 
What I saw 

And then I want to scream

Its all about the
cash rules everything around me,

so the cats making mad bank manipulate and shape

poor dumb suckers as cops, rats get a bit of cheese
to protect the cream, a dollar and a dream

But I see what you do
cause im sharp as a laser beam

And we got the dream, you got a lie,
it might take a thousand years, but your kind is going bye, 
your tide is rising high,
heres a coin for the boatman,
think you seen it all but youre blind man,
cant even see your very own life man,

so sha na na na, pyroclastic, here comes the lava,
yeah the donald trumps of the world might have their day
but their era of terror is doomed / to be burnt and buried in the dust
just like Pompeii,

ha, you think youre alive? 
youre just an empty impression in the ash
for my great great grandkids museum,
lies for no reason,
to every thing there is a season,
and when i spit on your grave
that'll bring my rhyme to completion

Smoke Rings and Absinthe

Some/times when I’m feelin' hopeless I just pull out the pad,
and / scribble with the heart of the homeless and the soul of the mad. /
I spell smoke rings and absinthe, / expel folk rhythms and abstinence,
and excel at outlining the absence of what i used to call passion. /
An expert at self-manumission, I got my vision on a mission /
and I’ll leave you wishin’ for that intermission intercission / transmission /
to put a stop-and-frisk on this / verbal perdition. /

Y’all, I can’t take much more of this /plugged up /
in every orifice / I debase my flow /
with the whorishness, / USB ports filled /
y’all need more ordinance. /

But who hasn't ever seen HD porn / in the retina
4K glow glorious? /

I be of the screen / with the double vision. /
to leave you wishin’ for an intermittent intermission intercission transmission. /
Binocular optics go and capture the image, /
it's both obscene and serene,
is it salvation or a scheme? 
A dollar or a dream. Does it matter
if I take what I / need with cream /
or use the infrared beam? /

Sometimes I don't know, so I go rococo with the flow /
and like a Ghost in the Shell, dart in / for the fatal blow
like Motoko / Kusanagi,
with a small squad / we vanquish your whole army. /

But transhumanists are movie shit, quite extremely dubious /
your Rubicon is looming / yet i bet you’ll still want grooming. /
The brain is gay for pelvic movement
the flesh is set for gross confusion
the soul is braced for its illusion
the skin's got blues from a contusion. /
Putting it all aside
life ain’t a smooth ride, so muster up some pride /
and drop your faith by the road-side,
no one’ll take it / - you afraid to go naked?
Afraid to hug hatred? Afraid to flow aimless /
like a water droplet down to the basest /
ocean of serenity and commotion, /
the Dollar Tree and sons of Odin?
who’ll catch you holdin', Holden?

No stress, it’s just immutable, golden, / boasting
on the mic, it’s irrelevant right?
Well, / my slang stays elegant
and rugged as an elephant
shot for my tusks and now there’s hell to pay. /
So i think its time to wrap it up / and say
so long, farewell, aveetesay good day.

aabc

alphabetic analyst
i bomb / your / city / with the soul
of a pragmatist,
putting the boot to your door and
four to the floor to
achieve a high score /
start a new war,
make it like busta said,

 "gimme some more".

the man in the glasses

you see but don’t observe, / you hear but do not listen, /
let me try to draw / your attention. /
you see but don’t observe, / you hear but do not listen, /

so without permission /
i combine the rhyme, with the rhythm.

the earth fires my brain with the flow /
of the wind and cold, /
brushing through the knowledge tree. /
look beyond the phat stacks /
and the cold, dead, translucent sea. /

i’m that unifying force / in the vacuum of space.
all throughout the universe, / i’ve been studying the hip-hop verse, /

and i always give respect -- because it was the cats who catch wreck  /
on wax, / who taught us how to come correct. /
plus, of course, the books. /
y’see, because y’all ain’t fish, /
my rhymes ain’t got hooks. /

so give respect. / i know y’all can detect /
the brain cells more numerous, and savage /
than bill gates and his cabbage, /
plus i’m armed with a weapon / that i never fear to brandish. /
the man in the glasses ain’t ever been plastic.
