Compassion

from Trapdoor by Defcee & Messiah Musik

lyrics

A pox on our house. Rot in the mouth
got our teeth lookin like a block in the South.
Keepin watch and the count--knuckleheaded math:
“One for us, two for you,” underfed and mad.
You’re pumpin lead or gas, and this page smells like gunpowder
while this country’s biggest fuel source is dunce power.
Hungry for Republican functions to crush the fun outta,
cuz my taxes pay your wages--ain’t no lunch hours!
Cupboard layin bare, they’re eatin carrot cake and ice cream.
Tried to tear away our eyes as parents played with pipe dreams.
Lady Justice dietin on Perrier and light beams,
while roads to Hell are paved with contaminated crime scenes.
Tried to catch us slippin like we’re Diddy on the crotch rocket.
Threw money at the problem, but it landed in the cops’ pockets.
Phone full of dope. Now our hands are just pop sockets.
Past stays the present and the future...we are not prophets.

[HOOK (x2)]
...cuz if they gave a fuck, then they’d act like it!
If they gave a fuck, then they’d act like it!

Why we always gotta beg for money from a printing press?
Different dresses, same devils revelin in eviction threats.
Whole generations in a house made of gingerbread.
Brains on drugs: all these classes packed with pickled eggs.
Deepfaked dreamscapes, imaginations freebased.
Still starved for all the safe spaces that these creeps ate.
Emcees on the cheese chase--bad backs, feet ache,
got us rollin out another tape in case the lease breaks.
Purchasin escapes from our personal faith bubbles,
To alternate universe versions of selves that the fates juggles.
Faint muscles in long arms pushin away struggle.
Hate stays hustlin harder than love, so my pace doubled.
Open the hyperlinks: read em and weep--
preseason victory parades leadin their teams to a sweep.
Guess it’s nothing new to me. Just look at kindness and cruelty--
those who deserve em the most receive em the least.

[HOOK (x2)]
