Out of chars and ashes like golden salamanders
The old years
The green years will leap
Roses sweeten the air
White hair turns black
Wrinkles vanish
All, everything flies back to sea
Flee death
Ghouls glued to the screen til they stop moving
That's the thing about a chess piece, gotta peep how he movin'
Gotta play stupid
The King sleep in the doom ship
Hubris outside Ruth Chris
Every bird get his wings clip
Munitions flyin' in an empty sky
Saw a Lion at the Bronx zoo when I was nine
It stuck in my mind
Sometimes feelin' like the tiger on Shrines cover
The fusillade cut them down in a line brother
The fuselage shuddering as he playin'
You know I prayed to every one of them motherfuckers
Old man putterin', mutterin' to myself
Money come slow like publishing
House full of ghosts half wonder if I'm one of them
When they come ask you, go 'head, tell 'em what you know
Truth be told, never even knew my government
Many years ago, my mother and I made a covenant
I look in they eyes when they get what they coveted
Fire in the sky, satellites plummeting
G showed me the whistle and said he not gettin' cut again
He got 213 months but he never got cut again
Everything buffering
Reality lagging
Sometimes barely recognize the people I love
It run hot and fast like arterial blood
Splashy kicks
The night slip-slippery
Wrist, wrist, wrist
Can't lie, some of these rappers do be glittering
Embittered but still air kiss
Kiss death, black lipstick on my neck
In bed she's a dead fish, but it's more to life than sex
Meaningful things
I hear what they say in the light of day, but let's see what the night brings
The flap of ragged wings
Black Thanos finger snaps five gems on a four finger ring
It's no going back no more
We drew lots in a dark corridor to kill the king
Our sweat stink
Yeah doggie we need them things hand speed like bing, bing, bing
I used to love her now I see it was just a fling
Took two glasses out the cupboard and poured us a parting drink
(She waited for me to take that first sip, though)
