Poachers

[Verse 1]

They caught ya man coming out the building

Knees in the back arms twisted losing feeling

Child Services took custody of the children

Neighbors milling/backseat grilling

Like tell us something

Before we start knocking out walls and ceilings

Dirty dealings done dirt cheap

I’m on the third floor fire escape balcony seats

The roach burns discreet

Blue and red stage-lighting the street

Whole scene read like Midsummer Night’s Dream

The wood steam/came through on the low stylo of a drug plane

Empire in flames/Hirohito/it’s all in the game

A moment in the sun and son ready to name names

Knows me as Steve Biko/rap with the cheat code

Co2 helped the sour get diesel

For laughs he gave power to the people

Stepped back and watched

But ain't touch nothing like a peep show

[Chorus: E L U C I D]

Pig radio

Smoke em out the spot

Sizzle and pop

Perched high above the block

Where codefendants folded

Surveillance rolling

Falling off the bone

So composed

Vein frozen

Detailed divulgence

[Verse 2: billy woods]

They came for me in the rainforest

Where i rap it ain't no tourists

Never seen again

But I’ll concede they earned that Red Badge of Courage

Shoulda boiled the water

Now im left to spoil your daughter/court your spouse

Do little repairs around the house

Everybody’s got a plan till they get hit in the mouth

A bird in the hand was how I took it

But fam went another route

Either way

Got to get behind the mule and plough patiently

When she moons blow her back out and bow gracefully

Ever the gentleman he left but not hastily

Nowadays that pass as chivalry/basically

Put my weekend in the air/lazily

The smoke curl

No apparent reason she actin’ crazily

But hey

That’s your ol’ girl

Owe her the whole world/woods unfurl

Like rebel flags the devil’s laugh black talon’s Eagles grasp

The metal flash/daguerrotype/picture me rolling

Seen an old whore in the right light/that’s a Kodak moment

[Chorus: E L U C I D]

Pig radio

Smoke em out the spot

Sizzle and pop

Perched high above the block

Where codefendants folded

Surveillance rolling

Falling off the bone

So composed

Vein frozen

Detailed divulgence
