[Hook]
Spit on the corpse and I still fool forensics
Been in the courts, they let guilt through the exit
I could report who I killed to detectives
“Poisoned by nine inch steel through appendix”
Stare into void and appeal to our friendship
Parentless boy made a deal, couldn't heal, so he'd end it
Skeletons of children expended
Vanish when I peel off the bandage, huh

[Verse 1]
Barrel smoking. my apparel soaked down to the stitching
Autographed the automatic, holes found in the victim
Find identifiers but no profile in the system
Ghost towns and evictions
Wrote down past for fiction
Wait, I don't exist
Bones opaque, cellophane skin
I stole your face now your skull is caved in
Close cold case when the reprobate wins
A self portrait is a delicate thing
Shards of the mirror now cellotaped
Figure I should celebrate sin
They had the wine cellar drained
Now it's just the cell I wait in, huh
Gun with scratched off serial number
From a land the imperialists plundered
Blood on hands don't appear in the books
Hung from branches in period one
But it’s still too far from the roots
Fingerprints an enigma
Lynched for my pigment but barred from the group
Bodies charred with the proof
Distance faded the name that I carved in my shoes, huh

Spit on the corpse and I still fool forensics

Parentless boy made a deal, couldn't heal, so he'd end it
Skeletons of children expended
Vanish when I peel off the bandage, huh

[Verse 2]
Photo in the darkroom: you exposed me to the light
You were in the system, junkies OD in the night
Severed from my element, I sow seeds in the ice
Now I got crows feet at my eyes
Smile why the crows feed on my eyes, huh
I might just drown in the genepool
Time has diluted the blood that is found in my people
Cypher print on the blouse that it seeped through
Nigh extinction devout to my breed
Pride and pigment, empowered by neither
I’m on my knees
Burnt down the house of the feeble
Dirt in the mouth that I breathe through, huh

Skeletons of children expended
