Now I can’t pledge allegiance to your flag
Cause I can’t find no reconciliation with your past

When there was nothing equal for my people in your math
You forced us in the ghetto and then you took our dads
The belly of the beast, these streets are demons’ abs
I’m telling you that setup in them sit-ups is so sad
The system is a slab
Corruption is the swinger sittin’ high ridin’ dirty, drag racin’ into danger

And it’s so clean, pine trees smellin’ good
We work off in the trunk and ****** in the hood

So I can’t shed blood on any battlefield of yours

I pray the ugly truth comes and shatters your decor
And as it all falls down and tatters on the floor
I shed tears, I don’t know what really matters anymore

Cause I don’t know what really matters anymore

[Hook: Casey Benjamin]
Many things, strangest things you ever seen

Oh, look at how they swing, would you look at how they swing?

Embedded they go, no eyelids gone low

Or gone by sundown, they’re dodging 5-0
Now as I wander through the city goin’ mad
I see the fruits are plantin’ evidence instead of grass

A swindled generation with no patience, full of swag
Man they so impatient with the stations that they have
As long as they look good when they be doin’ bad
Then the separation from the truth is gettin’ vast, fast
Be a slave at first or free at last

Double-edged choices make a ***** wanna pass

Double-headed voices from the eagle on the staff
The pyramid where eyes will split the spirited in half
Divided over money
Delighted by the dummyin’ down of the importance of crowns we’ll never have

That’s why my sounds and sermons are so full of wrath
Baptize your mind, let your brain take a bath
Swim inside the river get delivered from the craft
Of the witches in this business that be livin’ off your sad
Hatin’ on your happiness you hit ‘em off with laughs
Smile ‘til they surrender, then you kill ‘em off with glad

Hello evil, I’m back

[Hook: Casey Benjamin]

Many things, strangest things you ever seen

Oh, look at how they swing, would you look at how they swing?

Embedded they go, no eyelids gone low

Or gone by sundown, they’re dodging 5-0
