about

2015-2017

lyrics

fam on the block: auctioned.

sugar, rice, tobacco, cotton.

human labor made into stocks with

wet nursing, forced breeding , or raising livestock and

with no decrease

runaway slave catchers became the police.

whips and chains producing slow streams at best

or fast life flow leaks at worst.

but first

slave labor produced the wall street in NYC

and cross country :

Tulsa 50 years post juneteenth there's a Black Wall Street

burned to the ground cuz of folks like these:

no chains on neck nor chains on feet

screaming "all lives matter" while our lives need

attention because of pogroms in the street.

and the gunshot ringtones that go so hard and that go so damn deep.

breaking bad habits get really bad fucking with methods to the madness

to make something outta nothing or whatever is left.

cash on deck

or for a check.

they put a gun to your face and say you bound to respect.

and i guess i deserve arrest

b/c of the tone of my flesh too right?

 i guess i deserve arrest

b/c of the tone of my flesh too right?

i'm too hyped for casual chats

on the subject.

exclusive content produced at a premium

like kevin, aziz and them but i'm no comedian

but some o these things is just hilarious.

if i don't laugh i'll cry, if i reach for my phone

for a toblerone... if i reach for my comb, i just might die

no questions asked . just tears on 

asphalt,

concrete, 

suit sleeves,

bare cheeks, and the cemetery grass y'all 

if i don’t laugh i’ll cry—


ha ha ha


if i don’t laugh i’ll cry.
