[Verse 1: Benny Francis] They can smell the scent of blood in the air It’s been spilling in the streets It’s not the villains that we're killing Split each other down the seams Been divided by extremes Live and die by our beliefs While them vultures fly in circles Eyes for profit from the scene No prophets here, just politics Soapboxes and pig parlor tricks All flash and sleight of hand To prompt the viewer's guilt as part of this Or enduce a partisan reaction The headlines say who is to blame Subtract the views and leave the fractions Them readjust the tilt in frame The math isn't hard, the funding is fucked Funny; we're counting it quick, but the money’s in flux Shifting accounting to trusts From corporate coffers and classrooms To compounding their profits and pounding grassroots to dust [Verse 2: Savan DePaul] Maybe for a yuppie things are cool While the rest waddle with our tools And our leaders all take us for fools Currency means you can bend the rules Upon lucid rhymes I move to find the truth behind the dudes who lie Before they send their units by Gather all your loot and hide If the masses could be wary of the state’s abject crimes Distract the proletariat with made up headline Whilst their practices are there to snatch the cake from breadlines Subdue the insubordinate It’s ruthless in its performances The pieces in the box set are crumbled now Endless Escher/Bach steps we tumble down Referéndums, mob threats, and busting rounds And they’ll never rest till our destiny’s rubble-bound [Verse 3: Benny Francis] Where's our piece of the pie? Call it peace to imbibe On belief our achievements aren't just meager asides Meanwhile the elite have us beleagued on all sides Dangle treats so we can't see the sharpened teeth that they hide [Verse 4: Savan DePaul] Bend those bars around our people I'm bending these bars about our people About the plight of the homo sapiens At least the ones who struggle [Verse 5: Benny Francis] Corrupt in their ways They grew up in the shade While the sun bore down upon us an eruption of rays The rupture encased in voluptuous glaze So we fluster in clusterfuck for crust in the maze [Verse 6: Savan DePaul] Unh, jerked between the razor phalluses of politics Murder reached the gated palaces of opulence Succumbing to the bite of our cold toxic system This shit's pisstopia with no Pol Pot to piss in I Cro-Cop the diction, unh [Chorus: Savan DePaul & Benny Francis] Jerked between the razor phalluses of politics Murder reached the gated palaces of opulence (Corrupt in their ways) Succumbing to the bite of our cold toxic system (They grew up in the shade) Its pisstopia with no Pol Pot to piss in (Corrupt in their ways) Jerked between the razor phalluses of politics (They grew up in the shade) Murder reached the gated palaces of opulence (Corrupt in their ways) Succumbing to the bite of our cold toxic system (They grew up in the shade) Its pisstopia with no Pol Pot to piss in (Corrupt in their ways) Jerked between the razor phalluses of politics (They grew up in the shade) [Verse 7: Savan DePaul] Soldier blowing a hole through your dungarees Enemies extolling Poland and Hungary Bigoted clones ain’t known for their subtlety Hoping there ain’t no skulls for their duggery On a ten speed I relentlessly ride home Descending in an empty foxhole Protecting all my flesh, these ops roam Professing that the envy rots soul, ayy Professing that the envy rots souls Yeah, ayy, ayy

lyrics
You caught me floating away I was interstellar hoping to fade I was with the rebels holding the gauge And now I’m in this vessel, cold within space Being hit by memories stored in my brain Sort through the files, the drama and the trauma Them days when it was just me and mama These light years feel more like minutes As I skim through each image, my cranial spinnin’ I gotta admit it, I meant it when I was in it Stay till the slideshow’s finished Read.me text life, read it and weep I’m just an Android dreaming of my pet electric sheep Shit is deep Used to be a stargazer fervently Used to approach the set nervously Past elders burned in that block fire to third degree Skinheads pulling fake guns, that’s a first to me My Brodie really broke... And now my home planet home to murder scenes My nanny dead and gone, in front of me in the hearse to see Nanny dead and gone, in front of me in the hearse to see Her soul pure stardust, that’s what I urge to see Her soul pure stardust, that’s what I urge to see

Perilous for your paramour Protection - bring a pair or more Love is what’s fair in war Loosie culprit grooving to do adulterous movements in two and- Gulp, you screwed a jit Uber pulchritudinous Hoot and call my pseudonym Who’s the target? Just another horny husk Just another horny husk Just another horny husk of hydrocarbons Just another horny husk Just another horny husk Just another horny husk of hydrocarbons Oi cicisbeo have you met my lovekin? No need for the bayonet and musket Cupid got an automatic bow with polyammo Fatigued without camo, these niggas thirsty like camels Worm thru curvy cabana ting Heard a word through the scanner And scurred the perverts that ran with it Worm thru curvy cabana ting Heard a word through the scanner And scurred the perverts that ran with it Just another horny husk Just another horny husk Just another horny husk of hydrocarbons Just another horny husk Just another horny husk Just another horny husk of hydrocarbons

Melting in an imperial dragon’s stomach bile I felt it in me / my skin searing from acid, nothing mild The welts keep splitting / I spit furious acid on the file I felt it in me Droplets will ground the path, drowning in shower bath Hours and hours pass, clouds will now spout the wrath I play the cards that are dealt, raid the deck when needed Could’ve used a Tempurpedic for sweat-drenched sleepless endless weekends Mostly led a life of tempered speech but ain’t regretted speaking Acid rain caught a body while our bodies within beds were squeaking Corrosive drop splash while you’re prone like it’s RVD Mother nature on that heartless steez, that shit aint jargon b The opposite of basic collecting atop your bases It’s obvious your playlist’s neglecting my observations Melting in an imperial dragon’s stomach bile I felt it in me / my skin searing from acid, nothing mild The welts keep splitting / I spit furious acid on the file I felt it in me / my skin searing from acid, nothing mild

Homo sapiens sired No mistaking, it's fire Hope your brains all stay wired I'll ghost away in the mire Homo sapiens sired No mistaking, it's fire Hope your brains all stay wired I'll ghost away in the mire Homo sapiens sired No mistaking, it's fire Hope your brains all stay wired I'll ghost away in the mire You looking at one of the Vivid Kind alumni You should know these type of rhythms are hard to come by Acoustic panels bounce vibrations like bullets on 50 Each synth sound keeps pulling you swiftly Rose to top class ranks, don’t need Ofsted Did it by wrecking and making records and beats all day Better hide in cocoons before they come and pimp you Leave your house with your SO walking with a limp, duke Shit being a shut in might be the safe way No AKs that they spray today mate No AKs that they spray today mate We can make it fucking classic Cut your hat tricks Get stuffed and packed in the gut and bathe in stomach acids Likened to lichen - I’m affixed to the earth Quick to emerge, and harsh winter’s preferred I’ll stay laying low and uncover you assholes Get your Pac shit on with each other if that’s so Live covert and prosper long No one will ever say that they shot Savan Homo sapiens sired No mistaking, they fired Hope your brains all stay wired I'll ghost away in the mire I exist in the mist as a figment of the mind Stride off as the byproduct of the strife Damn I'm damned, I'm a landmine in sand dried There’s more to this than a mortar This is mortuary symphonic Ancient in its roots Since organisms with tortured organ systems were too bitch for the primordial soup Energy recouped by predatory behavior, definition glitched The sexually sinister switch administered in a pinch The sorry larvae writhing, carving thru hardy xylem Jonestown party by them Home was called asylum The talons of God curled around their third marble and dug in Better plug in and carry a big stick like Jim Duggan And I clap The line snapped, the synapse just a wiped map Suffered time lapse from well-timed slaps, here to collect my daps Ain’t take much for fake fucks to pick up mossbergs 99 cicadas sprung up from the parched earth 98 cicadas fell prey to the hawk’s urge 1 lonely cicada escaped to a dark earth Ain’t take much for fake fucks to pick up mossbergs 99 cicadas sprung up from the parched earth 98 cicadas fell prey to the hawk’s urge 1 lonely cicada escaped to a dark earth

lyrics
Gotta Stay focused Fuck the petty, stay focused Endure the worst and cherish your best moments If you want to be live like Poets Clear all of that pulp and bullshit that’s clogged inside of your head Cuz if you don’t try for goals it’ll fry your soul when you lie upon your deathbed What those goals are? That’s defined by you Life will either high five you or drive by you Keep Undeterred by the allostatic load Must consume time with contracted active role Laser guided focus is paramount to success in a neocon’s sense But I’m in my own quest to de-commodify sense What does success mean in our current framework? What dictates our needs and our current behaviors? Gathering data and constantly chasing answers Clashing with strangers with topics relating man to The material conditions of the life that we lead up What glitters ain’t always gold, sometimes it’s galena Some are willing to subjugate for their life to ease up What glitters ain’t always gold, sometimes it’s galena Don’t just do what’s easy, what’s right is the keeper What glitters ain’t always gold, sometimes it’s galena
