Neophyte

feelin' so raw
livin' in these times
oh, raw, so
what are you afraid of?
a weapon in your waist
don’t you know they’ll break your body?
don’t you know they’ll take your body
and walk away, and walk away?
what are you made of
is measured by your face
the way your blood flows
i won’t let them tell your story
i won’t let them steal your glory
and walk away, and walk away
running friends dance
they’re laughing out of time
thread’s frayed
loving’s so hard
getting out of line
enjoy
sambo in polite society
renbo in the white society
but the black are then fighting me
but the black are then fighting me
in the ghostlike war
frigid n-gg-‘s girl f-cked by the black
while we stunt nonstop
we’re insecure in this image of god
we’re insecure in this image of god
we’re insecure in this image of god
we’re insecure in this image of god
so, i’m up on that line like a man gone numb
with the eyes and diamond rings in pursuit
of making insecurities silenced
air max 90s i could feel
saw your spirit as i went with the sick
infirm, where i slept with a stick
thickheaded, swollen purple lips
i died that night as i tried for live
black youth is a killer like bounty
cut the eagle and around me
black youth is a killer like bounty
cut the eagle and around me
feelin' so raw
livin' in these times
oh, raw, so
so, i’m up on that line like a man gone numb
with the eyes and diamond rings in pursuit
of making insecurities silenced
