Heard you sayin that
We argue too much
I hope we never face the day that
We don’t argue enough
The broke and brittle
Separate mattresses regrettin decisions
Legal bind by baby boy that isn’t
Gettin attention
Does it count
As forever if it’s halted by death
How many anniversaries before we
Don’t share a breath?
How many couples have we witnessed
With happily ever after?
Black love caused murder back in
Previous chapters
I know North Philly n***as
Raised by North Philly dawgs
Who ain’t teach em bout the heart
Cause they ain’t know where to start
We was stunted and stagnant thru
The objectification
Lack of sensitivity passed down
Thru each generation
The type of shit that can't be fixed
By voters and registrations
The savants foiled by inclination
Black Ixion
It’s a bomb
In every man
Acknowledge it, they refuse
It’s almost like her purpose
Is to get it defused
Put it on my set
I can't sleep, can’t rest
Knowin bout your ills
How they treat you less
With these hands i swear
They can’t take you there
Ran thru battle like
Fingers thru my hair

Fire with fire
Against liars and gas lighters
It don’t matter if you grew
It shoulda never transpired
And there’s no purifyin
Lucky if you pacify it
It could turn the baddest bitch into
Valerie Solanas
I’m a North Philly n***a
Grew with North Philly dawgs
Tryna find my place in the world
When i was fallin in love
Ain’t no teacher like agony
Ain’t no father like time
Unaware of the minefield
When i told you be mines
The relics of our wars was passed
Throughout generations
The type of shit that can’t be fixed
Thru voters and registrations
And when you hear that click
You know it’s no way out
Unless I lose what I hold dear
But i don’t like that route
So I took that blow
And you felt that blast
And got
Torn by the shrapnel of the dangerous past
But if we patch this up
We could make this last
And
Cease this inherited wrath
