World Impact

(album: Hygiene - 2022)

A sharp new butterfly knife
Purchased from a discount site
Snitch jacket and what it invites
Kids have such curious minds

Just another school yard beef
Another fight between drug thieves
This one starts and stays ugly
Thirty dollars of steel in his spleen

There are things that you see coming
Rolling like slow moving trains
Engine down city bus on a one way
No point in changing lanes

Three year stretch in juvie
Just sit and keep your nose clean
Work your traps avoid beatings
Rework your inner workings

Eighteen and out the door
Cold waiting on mom's front porch
Yoga mat on her basement floor
Big nothings what you have in store

Collision
Can't avoid it now
Collision
Bodies strewn around

Collision
Course committed
Collision
No opting out

There are things that you see coming
Rolling like slow moving trains
Some stay and while others go running
But the crushing force just gains
