Parables

[Verse 1: E L U C I D]

Gold-plated circuitry out the mud

I couldn't fit OJ's glove

To show up Earth before the flood

Tasting my own blood

The ark was a DNA bank of fauna

A circle of crab floating atop the water

Heaven's horn bellowed Wayne Shorter

Noah didn't bear a single daughter

All the borders were liquid

World passport at the mouth of the river bathing in whole milk

Linen and silk

Mouth full of salt and silt washing over

Dying sons/suns of a thousand Octobers

Closer

The Father landed at the highest peak

Dead Sea cliff divers saluting east

Don't let the rocks cry out first, on God

Teeth and tongue on mountain face, lips and e'rything

Talkin' 'bout showing love

[Hook: billy woods]

It's funny how significance make a difference

Notice parables of three and every other inference

It's funny how significance make a difference (Did I ever tell you I buried my father twice?)

[Verse 2: billy woods]

At the wake, awake in a dream

The motorcade curved like a snake through the streets

Black men in black suits, heavy heat

White handkerchief

The podium thick with liars and thieves

You were sick in your seat

Jackals was ready to eat

The hole was very neat

The second, a wound in the earth

Raw dirt, heat

The simple hut, elders offered snuff

Fresh slaughtered meat

Most stiff to those gorgeous sour bear hits

Tears streaming, begging the curse to live

I was a kid

I was a young man when they buried him again

On the ancestral lands that wasn't even his

So, for you, I promise no hollow words, swallow mine

Huge birds wheel in the sky

The sea spray sting, burnin' my eyes

I won't let them bury you once

[Verse 3: AKAI SOLO]

Y'all, y'all

Purple hearts given out for the skilled servant

Temper out the callous with the cool minds

A fool heated

Missteps and morals has got me frigid-hearted

Livid over how we living

You say that we deserve better, but

Look at what we doin' for ourselves

Out us, out to get you once you can't get 'em in

That's two a piece

I advance with the plan unfasten

The seatbelt seal upon packed pearl grasping

While you out getting bent

Crooked L, straightening my aim

Ease my cerebral, whether I'm riled up

Or still see, Solo still lethal

Radiating something different

As if I took a deep sea soak in plasma

Niggas love sleeping so much

They abandon they abodes in pajamas

My fit resembles my resilience

Piranhas can't bite through my Carhartt

Heart-imbued matters more to me then a chart spot

A pot to piss in or a summer fit to scroll up

Arrive at bad decisions

Schisms is incited by a sunken system

Niggas'll claim not to see it

But your vibe can't bear what you feeling

Nigga, your expression dropped when the ball did
