if only love could obliterate the prison bars, border guards, abattoirs, anywhere the ghouls of law and order are
a modern day belshazzar as commissar, i’ll run through the demons of their power with my scimitar
I’ve been suffering in a hell that's internal
Dante's inferno
praying that my agony will not be eternal
there's a small radius to my inner circle
never be servile in pursuit of the commercial
or in deference to the purple
who desecrate this island balanced firmly on a turtle
suffocated by the nation-state
which propagates like a carcinoma in your epidermal
at any fucking cost
so I spend my days blazed and existentially exhausted
all this shit i cannot process
feeling like im constantly being accosted
our reality is caustic
buffeted, concussed from the hell that we're ensconced in
without my girl across the crossbridge from boston know that I'd be lost
feel like i fell from the citadel compelled by a witch's spell
gruel of fingernails and entrails brewed inside a wishing well
nevertheless nevertheless
know His eye is on the sparrow til im called home by azrael
preaching like a preacher but im more like a Zapatista
maricón con dignidad y por eso anarquísta
por la autonomía
I would give my life to free infinite sentient creatures
ive got love for the people
love perceiving all creatures as equals
love as strong as their violence is lethal
mass graves underneath a cathedral
your modernity only came about through expansion externally
murdering, waves of genocide done purposely
always missionizing their lies as certainty
furthering the worst of their rapacious perversity
betraying the duty to be nurturing
churches used coercion to get the masses worshiping
that applies to all institutions universally
get to know yourself, go your own path personally
never trust a hierarch
don't even trust that i can speak to the entire part
look inside your own mind, go find that which inclines toward the divine
luminescence
a vast expanse inside of your sentience
void of any repression, void of any essence, beyond the ken of those who oppress us
who only care about their dividends
in the end they'll be ozymandias's testament
the world is yours
it belongs to the poor, to the oppressed who you ignore
a culture of conceit so deceitful
ego is the real god underneath their steeple
money, power, hate in the heart of a so-called believer
i need relief from the legions of foes gun-toting for Caesar
hey Maedhbh please pass me the reefer

lost, the abyss of our alienation,
facing degradation on behalf of the powerful,
this harassment i'm faced with
all of their hatred so flagrant
at least i am safe with you
this society's prison bars
historical process of harm
limitations on who we are
who we're allowed to become
endlessly justifying my existence
so let me bear witness to my vital difference
ecocide, a planet-wide earth devastation
habitats and species annihilated
hell that the wealthy made through privatization
valorization, brazen greed, it's so pervasive
never know if my words reach you persuasive
or if my manner or candor makes you evasive
all i know's what i know in my heart,
so where i start, take my thoughts and put them down in my art, like
makes me mourn to see the planet die
all for consumption, the function of the suits and ties
seduce us with lies to disguise the daily crimes against those they brutalize
for the untold, the agonized,
one day we'll abolish it all if we organize
self, humyn, earth + animal liberation
still swear allegiance to healing all of our relations

I'm so alienated
From my own nature
Fall on the pavement
Feel like a failure
Cannot erase it
Root out the craving to remain complacent,
Rage is inside of me, cuts like a razor
Hatred, it's hatred no matter the phrasing,
I hate the world that the lugals created,
I'll slit the throat of a transphobe or racist
cuz you're a coward ill come out and say it
yeah you're fucking sadists
i pray for patience, but I'm not playing
touch on my girls and I'll fuck up your cranium
your ideology spread like uranium
cancerous waves are pervading
oh God i pray for the highest attainment
grant me the courage to be my own savior
total damn liberation
our imagination
no more fucking nations
real emancipation
living in sync with our inner inclinations
this is the dream they keep locked down in the basement
this is the dream we been keeping since the ancients
this is the dream of ten thousand years of vagrants
facing the pain and accepting no abasement
through endless struggle realizing im an agent
this is the part where I tell you I'm scared
this is the part where I tell you I'm scared
cuz i got this burden to bear
from Rojava to Chiapas
they're endeavoring to stop this
prop up the cops push you back down on your coccyx
wealth and power noxious, their influence is toxic,
i swear they will murk you if you don't fit in their boxes
then they call it the process
of our incremental progress
fuck you won't shed a tear for anyone in Congress
fuck you won't shed a tear if you serving for the bosses
fuck you want freedom no matter what the cost is
lose a friend to suicide then tell me what loss is
transphobic fascists I'll put 'em under crosses
transphobic fascists you'll rot without a coffin
swear on my jokers card you'll pay for your profits
swear on my jokers card you're evil incarnate
so I'll fuse with my homies and blast you like Garnet
you rape the earth to promote your fucking market
that's just the truth, peace and blessings on the Prophet
this is the part where I tell you I'm scared
this is the part where I tell you I'm scared
cuz i got this burden to bear

why my girls still suffering in the depths of depression
social abjection, isolation, pressed from oppression,
while CEOs and presidents are showered with blessings
turn a believer to a skeptic rejecting the message, aw
Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim
can you mend up my dreams, stitch them up at the seams,
redeem the souls of men trapped inside this regime
send me inspiration like Trane on A Love Supreme
i love my scene, love the girls I've lived my life with,
loved the boys I've vibed with, all genders my sidekick
pious but I got some holes i wanna be inside of
eroticism like Bataille but lyrics still incisive
every creature is priceless
your life is fucking vital though society reviles us
unjustifiably denies us
spineless, cowards using power to confine us
i make a supplication raise me to a higher station
all of my labors are in praise of divine creation
seen a lot of growth since I was rhyming in my mamas basement
thoughts of suicide til I realized theres no replacement
there's no erasing, Imma speak my mind until I die
and Imma ride for the girls they tried to crucify
through shame or doubt the nameless drought
the days without a future, an excuse to just remain alive
cannot abide by the violence of iniquity
i believe in equity though you may belittle me
i believe in healing as a political priority
healing from our history of blistering conformity
my heart and soul are full of love worth more than gold
help me be bold help my sisters to resist control
I'm lyrical thanks to Rakim Allah
praise to Allah, He made me with disregard for the law
—
I'm an eccentric, I'm eclectic
gender anarchy expected, not a preference
and for that I've been rejected, learned my lesson
though this life is fucking hectic, no concessions
cuz they want me to accept it, their oppression
well-meaning folks ask me to temper my message
that would betray all the talents I've been blessed with
never trade acceptance for being a cog in their repression
I got empathy for their position
but no one seems to have empathy for the shit I'm living
neither atheists nor the Christians
wouldnt save me from a fire if they was already pissing
can't be bothered to listen
but I'll keep living my vision
though they see me as a villain should be locked up in prison
it's our condition, discrimination from our religion
while the politicians fixing to bring us our extinction
it's enough to just make you cry
become a nihilist giving up praying to an empty sky
but I'm alive so I know I got a fucking reason
cuz I'm still breathing so you know that I am still scheming
still dreaming that a better world is possible
the force of the oppressed is inevitable, unstoppable
I'll never be unclockable
but I don't crave nobody's praise I'm a philosopher
know that they're hostile to the erotic
like theyre hostile to the Nag Hammadi corpus preserved in Coptic
segregate the body from the spirit
then refuse to hear it
and queerness you know they fear it
lets make it clear total fucking liberation
root out the domination that our episteme is based in
healing for all our relations
anarchy for me is simply self-preservation
