Confucius said
Man you better thug out
get the bag and then bug out Uh
Try to run home
you might run your luck out
'Cause just when your bases loaded
They'll roll a grenade
in the dugout You're out
Earth folk not a mellow bunch
We got our thumbs
in the air like hell or bust Uh
Look at who we done blessed
with our trust
I don't think we'll be left
with too much
Hand on my heart and my mind
on my drugs
Got a Vonnegut punch
for your Atlas shrugs
They love to not love
it's just that dumb
Lord sweet Buddha
please make me numb
Brain bounce off walls
like a sentient Roomba
Just found out
his creator's stupid
Lit by the supermoon
I'm too lucid
Plus got shrooms in the blood
I'm zoomin'
Beep beep Richie

The X on the map

Just us ducks here sitting
Where murderous chokehold cops
still earnin' a livin'
Funny how some say
money don't matter
That's rich now isn't it
get it Comedy
Try to sell a pack
of smokes to get food
Get killed and it's not an anomaly
But hey it's just money

You see the piece now run it fast
On the tarmac in a starter jack
C4 when I run it back
Like a track star
run a record lap
Nah like when
his needle catch Yeah
Clean look poet pugilist
A shooter's view
a Zapruder flick Yeah
Too rude for ya rudiments
Who convinced you you could move
against the crew in this
Comin' up through the fence
Off shore outta
Port-au-Prince Yeah
Overture left his fingerprints
On our hearts at the gate
and the world our residence
How can we be the peace
When the beast gonna reach
for the worst Yeah
Tear all the flesh off the Earth
Stage set for a deafening
reckoning
Quick like the pace of a verse
So I'm questioning this quest
for things
As a recipe for early death
threatening Yeah
But the breath in me is weaponry
For you it's just money
