Savage…

[Verse 1]
Savage language
I languish amongst strangers
Reprimanded behavior
Championed by those I deem saviors
Sustained by the refrains of Coltrane
Find solace in phrases exhaled by Ian Curtis
Only hope to travel further
Young Black males murdered at unforgivable rates
As I state my musical preference
Assemble each sentence with meticulous precision
The world I envision may never come to fruition but listen
This path has allowed me to subsist in parallel dimensions
Harmonics resonate at bases levels
Prepared to battle these racist devils

[Chorus]
Recite the battlecries of Leroi Jones
We agonize over the unknown
I need a microphone

[Verse 2]
Cognitive of what history tells us
Not interested in what these airwaves sell us
There is a Jackie Wilson for every Elvis
Don’t need religion to know what Hell is
And Heaven ain’t interstellar
I once found Eden Downing deuces in a dark cellar
Angelic demons of cypher
20 plus in, ain’t much brighter
Our story’s been scribed by the Graff writer
Eternal pathfinder
Profound meaning lost until you remove last blinder
[Verse 3]
Whole understanding of sonics shifted in an instant
Very few have bared witness to true potency of linguistics
There is a vast difference between originators and mimics
Substance versus gimmicks
Those who might have heard
Versus the ones who truly lived it!

[Chorus]
Recite the battlecries of Leroi Jones
We agonize over the unknown
I need a microphone
