lyrics
Tough Jews: zip guns, bareknuckle uppercuts split lips, piss
blood, plantin Vegas in the sand and waitin til it spit bucks,
fixed the World Series for less than six figures,
brewed and shipped liquor.
Meyer, Bugsy, Purple Gang, Dutch Schultz, Moe Dalitz,
Mickey Cohen…we know the hits, soldiers shifted
from broke to rich, calloused fingers, soft palms,
roast you without your knowing it just for wearing a watch wrong.
Hot blonde hangin off the sleeve of this tailored suit,
two-person dinner party, packed house, take the booth.
olive skin razorproofed, lamb meat off the shankbone,
hit the party late, dipped early to take your date home.
Smooth criminality, wealthy off the books with
two-digit salaries, lootin or griftin factories.
Princes of industry, they’d never gift us majesty,
so our kids and theirs did once they hit the academies.
On some, “Look at the nerds we’re not,” in purple Birkenstocks,
and conjuring their great-granddad’s silkiest shirts and socks.
Purchase stocks, assimilation complete,
early exits from the game, centuries away from the streets…
HOOK: We threw fists before fits,
drew guns before liquor store shifts.
We ran the city til we left the neighborhood.
Kosher Nostra, blessed the poor, ate the goods.
Christ-Killers weren’t made, so they learned trades,
protection rackets, gambling habits, a firm gaze,
The phoenix rising from the Triangle Shirtwaist
blaze with no First Aid, but the purse saves.
We weren’t white yet according to white people,
just hidden bullseyes disguised as white evil.
Eventually we sold out to the Italians, capped
hydrants of blood with wellsprings of ration.
Skimmed action for them, and kept most of it for us,
without notice or interruption while we’re brokerin distrust.
this is a beautifully cerebral, abstract hip-hop masterpiece, woods and elucid are monstrous on this record, i am honored to own a physical copy from these hip-hop legends joshuassites
