Many States

[Intro]
You didn't think I could go a whole album
Without talking my shit, did you?

[Verse 1]
I'm not a koch brother, I'm not a dome peeler
My album cover shows when I drop I'ma dope dealer
A model flow spinna, the smoke spitta, a throne sitter
A lone killer for sole thrill, I got no skrilla
I could pull the system down, it's got no liver
If you wanna know the government, I hold mirrors
Known killers inside our fucking homes with us
'Prolly microphones inside our own pictures
They wanna blow Palestine off the map, and Iraq
And if you stand in their way they'll gun at that
You gotta check the history, look at who came before you
'Cos if you don't, the presеnt people they'll ignorе you
They called Muhammad Ali enemy of state, it's not true
You're going to war, and if you don't, they'll destroy you
I'm making history, the type not seen in books
If you wanna learn about it then don't read your syllabus, 'cos

[Hook]
Many states wish death upon me
Blood in my eyes, dawg, and I can't see
I'm tryna speak what I'm destined to speak
The states tryna take my life away
I poke holes in the state, I think it might sink
My back to the wall, now you gon' see
Better watch how you talk, if you talk and they see
Then they'll come and take your life away

[Verse 2]
Justice for the writers, the fighters, and toll payers
Justice for the poets, not the have-it-both-wayers
Justice for the people in Guantanamo Bay, it's
Illegal torture, racist persecution, hope slayers
This is for the people in harsher-than-most dangers
Reliant on donations, whose homes are like cold glaciers
Defiant, but they're dying these strangers became neighbours
Mandela, common enemy, weapon and bomb makers
I'm following the papers from Grenfell to the death rays
Pulling back the layers from Arconic to the jet planes
Eurofighter Typhoons and the cladding it gets made
In the same factory, these are facts I'll send straight
Listen, there's something that I won't say
It's nothing, I'm a fuckin lyrical sensai
I'm not afraid to say I will not represent state
It isn't difficult, not while I money-spent trace

[Hook]
Many states wish death upon me
Blood in my eyes, dawg, and I can't see
I'm tryna speak what I'm destined to speak
The states tryna take my life away
I poke holes in the state, I think it might sink
My back to the wall, now you gon' see
Better watch how you talk, if you talk and they see
Then they'll come and take your life away

[Outro]
Many states
Many, many, many, many states
Wish death 'pon me
Lord, I don't cry no more
Don't look to the sky no more
Have mercy on me
