Returned Treasures

[Intro]
Without the cultural resources that had been there
In the first instance, as part of how these societies are developed
Related with other people, that these are incredible cultural archives
The return of these objects and reincorporation of them
It would mean a lot in terms of social reaffirmation, cultural reaffirmation
Of the subjectivities and identities of African peoples
Especially in this present age of globalization

[Verse]
Should probably be in the psych ward, doin' one-eighty on the dashboard
Runnin' from me not a task force
Helicopter spotlight follows my movements, it's like a parasite
My brain's oversight resembles orbitin' satellites
Would never extradite, I fight dangerous type of plights
Find peace at gravesites at night, puffin' on neophyte
That soul flight, I'm magnetite, thoughts made of dynamite
Been here once, now twice, peace to the afterlife
Thrice-million ways to fly or climb out the void
Damaged Polaroid, I burned it and came out destroyed
Paranoid, their white noise is shit I can't avoid
[?] off-balance, still I remain poised, perilous
It's in the ambiance, the sin is ominous
Autonomous, controllin' our own, remain anonymous
Blank face, blank stare is what you see when you lookin' at me
Super scrappy, powers that be, won't let 'em handicap me
Try and attack me, I hope you brought a military force (Force)
'Cause I was drafted at birth, G, I ain't have a choice
With a striped back, the house of facts we 'bout to ransack
Find out why the truth was removed and replaced with Anthrax
Buried gems and artifacts, we need 'em all back
Stolen information and pieces ripped from our almanac
Insomniac, nigga, I'm woke, can't tame a silverback
Those in the way of the truth with leave on a medevac

[Outro]
The more I look at the universe, just the less convinced I am
That there is something benevolent going on
So, if your concept of a creator is someone who's all-powerful and all-good
And I look at disasters that afflict Earth and life on Earth
Volcanos, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes
Disease, pestilence, congenital birth defects
You look at this list of ways that life is made miserable on Earth by natural causes
So, philosophers rose up and said, "If there is a God, God is either not all-powerful or not all-good"
If, as we probe the origins of things, we bump up into the bearded man
If that shows up, we're good to go
There's just no evidence out there
And this is why religions are called faiths, collectively
Because you believe something in the absence of evidence
That's what it is, that's why it's called faith
Otherwise, we would call all religions evidence
But we don't, for exactly that reason
So, given what everyone describes to be the properties
That would be expressed by an all-powerful being
In the gods that they worship
I look for that in the universe and I don't find it
So, I remain unconvinced
