Peshawar

[Intro]

Does it mean to be born again?

Is it full of pain or great ecstasy?

[Verse 1: E L U C I D]

At a desk now, twice exiled, black gentile

Full quarter short, rough way to walk, white wally wave jumper

Growing older and younger

Rappers make me sick like airport mall fragrance on empty stomach

Bismarck stutter step going off

Africa in the tick of the crunk

Gold fronts chomp at the tip of the spear

I'm all in the sun

I’m her favorite squeegee man

Geechie black and tan, camo chocolate chip

When niggas look like niggas

One drop tainted angel

Indigo and sassafras

This too shall pass

[Verse 2: billy woods]

Gleefully watching the system crash

No matter, though, they easily reboot it

Back of the napkin math, looking fucking stupid

"Alas," all I said when I seen how they plan to use it

Thou shall not make a machine in the likeness of a human

Mind, that's the rubric

Deep Blue verse Vladimir Putin

Stepped in the other room, but HAL still read your lip movements

Tears in my eyes listening to machines make music (It's beautiful)

[Verse 3: E L U C I D]

King spittle, watermelon man

See the slang editorial, keep it

Hands and chants secret, scanned the crowd

Don’t ask me how, for the last time, beat it

Ninety on the Loop Parkway, Robert Moses boost the crime rate

Musty how the wine taste

Blind faith without works is dead

Make an iron sheik

Flying past your head, watch and pray

Lie in wait

Friendly fires, you don't know the half

Don't make me a liar, out of all we have

[Verse 4: billy woods]

If you really ill, let me see you build with no mortar

When you there on the ground, there's no border, no matter

It'll still be a slaughter, my aura matte black

Polaroid portraits in Peshawar, crushed scorpions

Gorgeous sixteen echoing through valleys and gorges

God's gift, green as the prophet's cloak

Black tea with cardamom and mint, tendrils of hash smoke

A tree split by lightning, the glow from the wood stove

[Outro]

You're gonna get better

You’re doing okay and you’re gonna do better

You're doing okay and you’re going to get better

You're doing okay and you're going to do better

We really get what we ask for

We get what we really ask for

We get really ask
