Piano Wire

[Verse 1]
Watching America burn from distant shores
I learned to walk hot coals before I left the east coast
Blackhand legend remains
Call devils by their name
A month late
A few hundred short, but glad you came
At least for everybody here for the disrupt
We're our ancestor's wildest dreams
Capture West African nomads
To doubling back on my own
Reverse middle passage in the name of love

[Verse 2]
Signs and wonders and nation shutters
We can't be friends we can be lovers
I don't want it if the justice ain't transformative
Before this line dies be sure to cross-reference my coordinates
Piano wire loose
Came from out the ruse
Strange flute
Moonshine I don't need no Bantu education

[Verse 3]
Don't care if its offbeat or on
As long as the intent is pure and my delivery is honest
Illusion around us, show me who you are
How bout wait until tomorrow
America's a dying star
Please serve chitlins at the repass
Cop killer hymns
Ice TV, I pity you my nigga
Bloody fingers on the keypad
Shoot first
House of cards, pre-fad molotov bandanas
Kalashnikov, police scanners
I used to think body cameras was part of the answer
But now I just feel stupid
Lucifer's son who warned us
That we can't be passed through
I'm less insured
Liberation independent of defeat to feel comfortable
Whiteness is blinding
I don't need receipts, niggas been dying
Blood can't be bleached
What is this forgiveness you speak I just wanna live
I just wanna live
