Salt

In the daylight
salt
In the nightlight
salt
Salt in the wound

Light weight
but i stay heavy
small thing
but i say plenty
good from the get
saving them pennies
legs like spaghetti
set my watch 420
dream chaser
no paper
made mistakes
big eraser
learn from
kept on
moving
show and proven
all that salt
aint soothing
learn from the pain
don’t do the same
make a dirt lane and
clean your own shit
All come around
call it hoop
we stay in the bit
cause it loop
grassroots deeper
than we knew
come and feel
that truth come
down on you
Live for no man
we called it
find leaders
within ourselves
co operate with
each other
thats don’t leave your
friend behind and
be good to
your mother
indentured servants
slavery
power social control
our common humanity
never had a chance
it was already sold
ripped out the nest
egg ready to hatch
truth hurts
regurgitate
put it on plate
thats hard to digest
hard to take
truth hurts
dig deep
cold stares
slow creep

In the daylight
salt
In the nightlight
salt
Salt in the wound

dehumanized
staring at each other
licking them wounds
hungry motherfucker
thats hella sus
they need cheap hands
that need us
say its a hard time
to be alive
but i think its always been
when you standing below
other men
its always a crisis
we full of vices
fuckshit
in this state dreams fade.
drowning in class war
choking on jim crow
leaves us dying
in the street
overseer officer 5-0
our tragic stories
never out of reach
who believed the
words they preached
how long anger steeped
deep rooted
start digging
we all know
they been killing
look at the rez
look at the prison
look at the hood
look at the trailer
look at the system
look at the face
say the name
wheres the spark
all this salt
do we have the courage
to play it smart
radical struggle
empire
class and race
horse and cart
burn it down
john brown
abolition
was it between skin
or profits reaped off it
still succumbing to it
truth hurts
dig deep
cold stares
slow creep
