Piano Wire

[Verse 1]

Watching America burn from distant shores

I learned to walk hot coals before I left the east coast

Blackhand legend remains

Call devils by their name

A month late

A few hundred short, but glad you came

At least for everybody here for the disrupt

We're our ancestor's wildest dreams

Capture West African nomads

To doubling back on my own

Reverse middle passage in the name of love

[Verse 2]

Signs and wonders and nation shutters

We can't be friends we can be lovers

I don't want it if the justice ain't transformative

Before this line dies be sure to cross-reference my coordinates

Piano wire loose

Came from out the ruse

Strange flute

Moonshine I don't need no Bantu education

[Verse 3]

Don't care if its offbeat or on

As long as the intent is pure and my delivery is honest

Illusion around us, show me who you are

How bout wait until tomorrow

America's a dying star

Please serve chitlins at the repass

Cop killer hymns

Ice TV, I pity you my nigga

Bloody fingers on the keypad

Shoot first

House of cards, pre-fad molotov bandanas

Kalashnikov, police scanners

I used to think body cameras was part of the answer

But now I just feel stupid

Lucifer's son who warned us

That we can't be passed through

I'm less insured

Liberation independent of defeat to feel comfortable

Whiteness is blinding

I don't need receipts, niggas been dying

Blood can't be bleached

What is this forgiveness you speak I just wanna live

I just wanna live
