[Intro]
A spider climbs down from the web on my door
And he was sure to evolve into a beetle with wings
A fly drifts in and he lands on my wall
To hear the beautiful stories and the rhymes that I sing
The humans [steps] in with their pesticides
They say we saving your life
I'm like, "What do you mean?"
They sprayin' my home
And then they k**ed all my family
And they ran out of targets
Now they aiming for me
[Opening Monologue]
I remember once upon sometimes
We were silly kids and colored in, inside these lines
For several years we heard these peaced out threats
Of a new world and a world war that only left us left
And next
Uprisings, multiple protests
They wanted peace and we wanted peace but whose blood got shed
And those streets did bleed
And the city fatigue
And not an eye did sleep
'til there were few eyes left
And they told us to put the guards down and put our hands up
White flags wavin'
Holdin' no fear, only Gods trust
And the bombs did burst
The broad stripes, early lighting stars did emerge
And saw these red rockets glarin' talkin' back to my words
I think I was screamin'
"They rapin' my people here on the cement"
The birth of a nation a lone marauder
Had conquered all that he could with a single semen
The victim's bleeding
The Emperor stands over her exposed cleavage
And steals the only clothing she had so he could cover his demons
The city struggles to breathe
Asphyxiated while the smoke was choking the trees
The sun sets bail and she's painting the leaves
The monochromatics of Fall
She's amused, she's appalled
The irony in it all
See I don't often observe
I'm drowning out these thoughts with t.v. ads overheard
A couple thousand dollars college dreams could be yours
A cup of this concoction and your cancers is cured
Freedom rings are submerged
The Privileged blind and defer
The grey-suits who they pay
To keep us Monsters under beds as they inherent these days
Yet I was raised in the sun
Now I'm closing my tab
The rain taps on the gla**
Reveals a smirk as it asks
"Can Cooley come out and play?
Can Cooley come out and play?"
And I have no excuse for today
