Leaded Wings

[Verse] Heavy is the head wearing crowns, I need a neck brace Said our melanin is malignant we shouldn't test fate Every time I simply seek out a metamorphosis I can't graduate, and I shatter like ghetto porcelain Tune in to politics, to be disconnected from nature Ousted outcast, refuse to imbue the Matrix The Land of the Free it is actually quite satirical Cruel and unusual how their tactics are psycho-spiritual Antiquated textbooks that’s a culture's seroquil Seeped into the ecosphere now our sanity's nearin nil Overseers veto legislation from the well intentioned Claim to be in sync with the people, but yet they failed to mention The contaminated water source If we commit atrocities then that is just the par for course On the pulpit runoff at the mouth for voting populace Metal detectors in schools can't detect lead in the aqueducts [Hook] Written in the lettering soon as I get a head of steam I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings We should be gangbangers and pushers instead of vetting kings Now we migrate cross wastelands call us the bedouins Now we migrate cross wastelands call us the bedouins It was pipe dreams when we simply wished for better things [Verse] Yellow journalists claim our situation’s innocuous Paid shills rep the media, truth is apocrypha I often ask, “what’s the point of a referendum if the whole entire system is stricken with despotism?” Yearning to learn some discernment, because it’s the best decision War of attrition, so mischievous that’s why I stress provisions Sleepless nights but it is easy to rest on pessimism Complacency, ingratiation is safe so let’s forgive them Our exuberance is palpable, they leech it from us Willingly swap it for houses and other creature comforts Calculated efforts and diminished sensibilities Bric-a-brac make us forget we’re amidst an enemy Astute have recognized, Flint serves as the template For a new kind of policy they’ll probably instate Fascists will purport to be Biblical but their path isn’t Pastor’s hands can’t pull from you up from this baptism [Hook] Written in the lettering soon as I get a head of steam I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings We should be gangbangers and pushers instead of vetting kings Now we migrate cross wastelands call us the bedouins Now we migrate cross wastelands call us the bedouins It was pipe dreams when we simply wished for better things
