lyrics
Eye for an eye in the land of the blind,
Panic inscribed in the plans she divined
Blood jumped in her eye reading history in the present
A homeland that’s only known misery as a tenant
Fanatics in the streets setting Jews alight
For now it’s an effigy til they’re ready to do it right
might be tonight, surrounded on all sides
By Smiling lynch mobs trotting out their war crimes
Where can she go and feel safe? It wasn’t at home,
or trapped here, in a stove of real hate
Seared, plated, insatiable, saliva from their fangs
Her escape was too great for her to have died in a cage
Of other white bodies, genocide abridged
Into cute hashtags on shirts, visors, and limbs.
It’s time to battle for survival again,
…but maybe if they all died, it would end.
HOOK x2
If there’s no one to fear, maybe they’ll disappear
If we scare em bad enough, maybe we’re in the clear.
When peace doesn’t work, and the police in the square
Are just new gestapo, we gotta fight with more than prayer…
Shattered swastika skeletons for blackboard chalk
A more effective lesson than the Admor’s talk
What happens when the protection we asked for stops,
gore dries in the gutter, and the last foe’s dropped
Will we be able to live with ourselves in the stillness?
Can we truly heal the world with shelling and killing?
Or will that be when our humanity’s fed to the kindling,
And there’s bloodstained bones ahead of where we led our children?
Is this how we’d want our neighbors to do unto us?
What’s been done to our bodies in ovens and ruts?
When mud becomes dust, will our reflection remain,
…Or will we be a mirror image of vengeance and pain?
Cottonmouthed with bloodthirst, tongues burst,
Lungs hurt breathing in the cold suffering of a rough earth
Can violence cure violence, or is the virus uncontainable?
We’ll sort all of that out once we make it through…
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
