The Killing Season
(专辑: We Got It From Here... Thank You 4 Your Service - 2016)
[Talib Kweli:] Winter in America, never knew white Christmas 'Cause elves said the
squares is always making my shit list Spring is in the
air and all the
flowers in bloom The
powers that be wanna devour the
movement Tears disappear when they fall in the
summer rain Bleeding through this mic, but they call it entertainment Running across stages is a
drug It's like a
blunt that we crumple in raw papers Call it the
Lord's name cause we taking it in our veins Like the
feeding us intravenous It's war and we fighting for inches and millimetres Try to stall the
progress by killing off all the
leaders If we don't give them martyrs no more, they can't defeat us This lack of justice got us disgusted, look at our faces All these soldiers hate but I
saw military training The
force flags fly at a
half mast this morning Take a
bow, this might be your last performance [Kanye West:] They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya [x8] [Consequence:] The
old lady saw us on the
lawn with the
Henny Turn the
pool party into the
one from McKinney Might've been racist like the
waitresses up at Denny's So we had twelve gauges, automatics, and semis Now they wanna condemn me for my freedom of speech 'Cause I
see things in black and white like Lisa and Screech Presidents get impeached and others fill in the
throne But veterans don't get the
benefit of feeling at home So maybe those projections out at Silicon Over dro they getting injections made of silicone I
swear it's the
killing season 'Cause killing is still in season yea [Jarobi:] Louder than a
three pound, voices screaming at ya boo It must be killing season, on the
menu, strange fruit Whose juices fill the
progress of this here, very nation Whose states has grown bitter, through justice expiration These fruitful trees are rooted in bloody soil and torment Things haven't really changed, been dormant for the
moment Marks and scars, we own it, only makes for tougher skin Helps us actualize the
actual greatness held within Been on the
wrong team so much, can't recognise a
win Seems like my only crime is having melanin Connection to the
sun so strong the
relationship is lusted for Causes meant to suffocate, I
can't breathe no more Settle the
score sadly, need an abacus to tally Through all the
peaks and valleys, yo, I
recognize them sadly Black soul old enough, inner city holding up Watch me get all my goons, watch us get soldiered up [Kanye West:] They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya [x8]
