Leaded Wings

[Verse]

Heavy is the head wearing crowns, I need a neck brace

Said our melanin is malignant we shouldn't test fate

Every time I simply seek out a metamorphosis

I can't graduate, and I shatter like ghetto porcelain

Tune in to politics, to be disconnected from nature

Ousted outcast, refuse to imbue the Matrix

The Land of the Free it is actually quite satirical

Cruel and unusual how their tactics are psycho-spiritual

Antiquated textbooks that’s a culture's seroquil

Seeped into the ecosphere now our sanity's nearin nil

Overseers veto legislation from the well intentioned

Claim to be in sync with the people, but yet they failed to mention

The contaminated water source

If we commit atrocities then that is just the par for course

On the pulpit runoff at the mouth for voting populace

Metal detectors in schools can't detect lead in the aqueducts

[Hook]

Written in the lettering soon as I get a head of steam

I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings

I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings

I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings

We should be gangbangers and pushers instead of vetting kings

Now we migrate cross wastelands call us the bedouins

Now we migrate cross wastelands call us the bedouins

It was pipe dreams when we simply wished for better things

[Verse]

Yellow journalists claim our situation’s innocuous

Paid shills rep the media, truth is apocrypha

I often ask, “what’s the point of a referendum if the whole entire system is stricken with despotism?”

Yearning to learn some discernment, because it’s the best decision

War of attrition, so mischievous that’s why I stress provisions

Sleepless nights but it is easy to rest on pessimism

Complacency, ingratiation is safe so let’s forgive them

Our exuberance is palpable, they leech it from us

Willingly swap it for houses and other creature comforts

Calculated efforts and diminished sensibilities

Bric-a-brac make us forget we’re amidst an enemy

Astute have recognized, Flint serves as the template

For a new kind of policy they’ll probably instate

Fascists will purport to be Biblical but their path isn’t

Pastor’s hands can’t pull from you up from this baptism

[Hook]

Written in the lettering soon as I get a head of steam

I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings

I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings

I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings

We should be gangbangers and pushers instead of vetting kings

Now we migrate cross wastelands call us the bedouins

Now we migrate cross wastelands call us the bedouins

It was pipe dreams when we simply wished for better things
