"as the world hurls towards seven billion more listeners
seven hundred plus see the killed and held prisoners
seven thousand one hundred islands I been missing
cause I grind seven to five, at night I’m writing scriptures
as hot as the block as cold contradictions
pen drips with honesty, I don’t offer fiction
go to competition the bone that they try to pick with me
and learn the moral lesson and marching forward to victory
no flag waving, celebrating your invasion
you call it thanksgiving, we call it things taken"

I can see how tradition makes us do what we do
Like keeping things in plastic so this shit will stay new
some things we gotta lose, some things are worth keeping
It wasn’t all bad, but wasn’t all peaches

To make up for the fact they probably kicked it hard last night"

"I fought the devil last night and almost lost
Now I’m drinking bottled water
Flushing out the toxins
Vomiting and coughing
feeling closer to the coffin
Than I ever have
Every morning that I arrive
Is a night that I survive
Just to be alive, sipping chai
Listening to my favorite DJ"
