Lyrics

Weapons

[Verse 1]

Inaccurate perception of these remnants

We viewed as peasants

Move like swung pendulum when the moon is crescent

Interests intertwined like Co-defendants

Hope to be remembered by descendants ...refined rituals, robust with mistrust

Constructs discussed mad familiar

My path is nonlinear

Converse with shadowed figures in shallow mirrors …let’s reconvene once these skies are clearer

Balance teeters uneven …Been receiving conflicting reports

Reality’s wrapped

You could lose breath over untaxed Newports

There use to be honor in ones you fought

An abstract thought, a brand new sport

[Chorus]

Regain perspective

We’ve all been off message

We won’t win all sectioned

Survival we stressing

Regain perspective

We’ve all been off message

We won’t win all sectioned

As one we all weapons

[Verse 2]

Ran a gambit expensive past planets

Yet remained on the same block

Steel trained between temples

Broke chains as the enslaved watched

Still ain’t forgave Koch

No trust, that’s why we blame cops

Held in contempt from the get

Y’all talk respect

But we treated as threats

Voices in check

We Born as suspects

Wonder why we upset?

Reluctant to walk streets as they blood let

A brainwashed public elects inept gov’ment …More than troubling

Now tell me, with this math, who’s struggling?

Infrastructures crumbling

[Chorus]

Regain perspective

We’ve all been off message

We won’t win all sectioned

Survival we stressing

Regain perspective

We’ve all been off message

We won’t win all sectioned

As one we all weapons

[Verse 3]

Tamir couldn’t play So I don’t

Of course we want hope …but it’s all being painted so bleak …On repeat…

They change speech

But same cold dead eyes

Deadass

Devised my own program

To outlast forecast

Their 4/4’s blast

But we all just casings

Finally made progress

On what we’ve been chasing

All these frauds …They truth adjacent

We the born proof they all refused facing …Soul is vacant

Placing hands on pressure points

Fuck who they anoint

We ain’t boys

This noise from deep within Center

Sidestep vendettas

Venom derived from oldest deltas

Transmit through broke antennas

We smash agendas!

There is NO surrender!

Fuck all them trendsetters

This here is straight gutter …Muthafukas!
