lyrics

Symbolism’s my graffiti, got an eye out for the needy
Been awake since the American-Morrocan peace treaty
It ain’t hard to tell, we on the teet of Neffertiti
And the history we got ain’t even history believe me
I been on my J O B’s with this, pots and pans and grease with this
Everything ain’t lies but holy Jesus this some evilness
And no one wants to face the truth so most won’t even see this shit
Then point a finger at you for not eating what they feeding us
Please this the disease, they get you by repeating it
Saying it again and again, but this time meaning it
And once more cause why not, it’s everywhere on my block
They say yours ain’t gone work unless I go and get my shot
And now I can’t shop or get a beer at a bar
Unless I prove I’m vaccinated and show a bouncer my card
I swear to God I think I know how the Jews felt back in Germany
It’s the most insecure folk trying to poke you with their certainty
And everybody’s full of shit, the politics of doctoring
Big pharma’s big hands the only thing they honoring
I’m trying to paint a picture so that maybe you could see it clearer
It’s not about your health, it’s bout what you be eating in the mirror
And careful what you snacking on, got good people acting wrong
The hubris of being right mixed with a fascist song
And a hook so catchy got you singing in your head
I can’t wait til the people I disagree with are dead

Hook 1
Put me in a box and try to label me as anti
Am I anti sky because I walk the ground and can’t fly
Try to make some sense of all your thoughts cause I just can’t guy
I’m trying to eat my piece in peace but y’all poisoned the damn pie

Epick 2
You’re putting us at risk by not complying with the narrative
For all of us to be safe cooperation’s imperative
Yet you think that you’re special as if you don’t got a care to give
And you could give a shit about whether your grandparents live
I never met a soul who’s as selfish as you appear to be
Acting like the mask I wear somehow shows that there’s fear in me
I wear it cause I care about the health of those who near to me
While you act like you’re too good and then say it’s all conspiracy
You and all those Trumpers are the reason that we’re where we at
Saying it’s all fake denying science and that there are facts
People catching sicknesses and spreading them is fairly tracked
Yet you say germs a theory and terrain is what is staring back
Don’t even get me started on comparing this to Germany
You’re nothing like the Jews you get to choose in this emergency
And you chose not to vax knowing damn well there’d be consequence
No-one’s segregating you, you chose this route with confidence
We tried to give incentives to show you what we were facing
You then called it coercion and said no to half the nation
So own it and be honest this is not descrimination
You’re not allowed where we are now you chose your destination

Hook 2
Put you in a box and then I’ll color you as that guy
Five year old mindstate where all you doin is ask why
Try to make some sense of all your thoughts cause I just can’t guy
There’s slow and steady truths while you just believe the fast lie

Verse 3 (K-Rino)
The climate has got eerie so what is the plot really?
Clearly once a conspiracy is proven it’s not theory
The people have grown weary of weak inferior images
They used to insult our intelligence now they diminish it
Baiting and switching history to infinitely condition us
And finish us with viscous degenerate initiatives
Disable programming enslave you is all that they do
Then you let em take over the flesh the creator gave you
Create laws to incarcerate your offspring and make yours
Fall on their face like a drunk person riding a skateboard
A cruel agenda smoothly executed by the true offenders
Bend the rules and tell a two year old that they can choose their gender
Hold up, it gets deeper black, how?
Cause we’re the only people that get forced to publicly apologize for speaking facts
Blinded us with clever deceit, cause we were never taught
The history they told us not to ever repeat

Hook 3
Put us in a box and try to label us as theorists
Attached to your body denying the soul and spirits
Try to make some sense of all your thoughts and why you fear us
We think outside the box while you just follow where they steer us
