THE CENTER

[Verse 1: Moor Mother]
(It's a miracle that we are here today)

What shields us from the sun?
At the center of the earth is the conductor
The conductor of heat and the balancings of temperatures
The sun is made of

What shields us from the sun?
What does it mean to worship the sun?
The conductors of heat and the balancing of temperatures
To pray to a sun God
Who are the people of the sun?
The true black mass
How do we keep our feet on solid ground?
At the center
(Yeah I've set up my altar)
At the center
(Yeah I made my offering)
At the center
(Yes, I'm in my time)
At the center
Yes, it's a miracle
It's a miracle to be here today
It's a miracle to be here today
(Who are the people of the Sun?)

The ice is breaking
Our feet heavy with water
We are sinking
We we we
The greed in our eyes, our hearts, our hands tied together
Every bloody, bloody, bit, little bit, little-
Trying to steal a piece

Oh what a beautiful black mass
How do we keep our feet on solid ground?
Conductors of gravity
At the center
At the center

[Interlude: Sun Ra sample]
Those of reality have lost their way
Now they must listen to what myth has to say
Those of reality have been bruised and beaten by the truths
Those of the reality have been slaves of a bad truth
So there's nothing left now but the myth

[Verse 2: billy woods]
We built it inside out
Families sleeping on the street outside an abandoned house
We built on sand thick with blood
We built [?] plans, got it out the mud
They said human beings need beauty and love
We proved them wrong, we drowned our mother in the tub
Motherfucker, it's never motherfucking enough
Towering towers blot out the sun
We brought flowers to mass graves
Oil drums floating on black waves
Concrete beach
Weep for content, it's all teeth
Garbage disposal, it's not that deep
But you'd be surprised
Just a splash of bleach
I don't give a fuck what they surmise
They hide em in the street outside a beautiful home that's not mine
In the dark the light shine all the more
In my heart I'm not sure but I tried
We built it inside out in my mind
