PoliTricks
I ain't' supposed to be mad about why the barely mention me
After all I recently learned about Uncle Sam's history
The biggest bamboozle was thinking that slavery was through
Voted 13th Amendment so it's never been truth told
Mass incarceration works better than slaves to me
Cheap labor built the country
Still does presently 
Now that i understand the mission from the jump
And make all the sense and didn't shot me when they gave us Trump
Money over everything and just some slang where they bang
Prop 57 caught up cuz my people still hang
Down south and Angola got the homeboys walking round in chains
At least half of the homies that I grew up with
Have been victimized by the state and for the rest of their lives are sick
Gang Injunction just another law put upon us to strip 
The hope of building community and unity
Poli
Tricks set up just to help them get away with shooting m


Fuck the GOP
And the DNC
My i
Phone news
And your fox tv
Ms-nbc 
And my Facebook feed
Social media 
Is a monopoly 
Fuck ya Bowling Green 
And the DAP-L
The Keystone Pipe-line
Yo fuck my timeline
Fuck a wall -Fuck primetime
U can love the cops  
But never let their shit slide
& what the fuck Is a white lie?
Trump U
That's white color crime, right?
 
Cuz they got two prisons
One- for -those -who-fight-  ourselves -for -a -living 
And one for those manipulating the system their victims 
Live in conditions
Like- a mass grave 
But still they still got Golden Parachutes for big banks
They like Fuck your mortgage 
And your knowledge
And I'm like fuck The elec-toral COLLEGE
But don't dis college- DAMN

They want yaz ignorant 
Dats how they get cha
Make ya think it's the poor that'll take ya that business 
Now they like listen:
If we taxed less 
That's good for you, I promise!
Man.. you think their kids drink out the  tap water, 
Be honest!

Yo, Bernie was god to me, follow me
He called out the crooked economy 
By name
Them Koch bro folk them gone & got awry  
Weighed it like prolly
Killing that Jew is a folly, a game
Don't make him a martyr 
Instead push a farther deception 
Gon' take his message 
Plant an inception

Shits movie script
Bring on the Ruskis
Nah, blip blip 
Clip by clip we whip lashed on this last 
Smash and grab of that Black Gold
Pat Swayze on that ass  
Wolverine with my Wolfpack 
Big ups Kap 
But fuck Exxon, Amway and Goldman Sachs
Maximus Aurelias 
The people verse the villainous 
The scrilla slaves come willingist 
They instill in ah that killing us wit that 
Keep to my lane 
Keep to my lane 
Keep keep to my lane, keep to my lane
But oooh u think destined for more
& you like that horse from Troy
But you ain't one of us 
And neva gonna be, boy!!
These old grey haired dinosaurs
Got coal in their very souls 
Thinking, what's our oil
Doing under your mufuckin soil? 

(Trump Trying to stop my flow)

It is often a short walk from cops to crooks
A felon cause I got books
Magellan 'cause I've been selling my people, tell 'em explore these nooks
We've been here before but look
Outnumbered 'em all on foot

I am the clown prince
My energy gone, tell me you cook
'Cause we gon' need food to live
Or we gon' bring heat to die
I know in my mind
Then look to the sky
And tell 'em we all survived

Disrupt your worst laid plans
And I plan to be better than worse
The worst of it all, is hoping they fall when I should just hope to nourish

Cursing my kin
Burning our work force
From bursting within
I'm thirsting with him
Worship the sun first
Copernicus Men

Divide and concur
Awaken the monster
Better bring amour
You may be stronger
Poison my water
But we can still sabotage your helicopters
Sending my message via camouflaged through teleprompters
We've got sons and daughters
Standing on the Rocks for water

Kill, Kill, Kill
She's ill, ill, ill
Pull and pillage all her resources
Drill, drill, drill, no feels

Nah not me seller
Rob you Rockefellers
Better bring an umbrella
Cause we raining on all shelters
Helter-skelter you're the takers and the melters
Of our precious empire
Note sources, brother
We overzealous
Media circus
We have a purpose
And it's for the people
They don't deserve this
Nobodies worthless
Better believe we're equal
But they believe in lethal
We here to bring upheaval
And World War 3 will never see another squeal

Hypnotized you watched the great deceiver
With every single trick up his long sleeve
What you wanted to be true
Was good enough for you
A lie that you were willing to believe

It seems that you have fallen for a con man
With hollow promises of easy fix
They pumped you full of fear
And said the end was near
And conveniently they had the cure for it

They took advantage of a changing climate
Denied til the very bitter end
Where the virtues of the truth and patience weren't for you
Where brevity is all you comprehend

This is not the land my mother made
Years my father gave
Balanced on the edge of this blade
This is not my home, it never has been
My will has grown thin
A flower left alongside the grave

It feels as if the whole world is hungover
Moving through a miserable malaise
Feels like everyone
Is crippled by their stun
Stuck between their fresh fear and their shame

Some say the sun will rise again tomorrow
But no it doesn't seem to shine the same
It will not burn out
If your whispers turn to shouts
If you fan the orange embers of a flame

So I clutch the rush of fever flashing
Refresh the stress they feed me in my feed
Hope to see some change
In the midst of all the strain
Hoping for the answer that I need

And one too many candle lights were cancelled
Couldn't go on in a world like this
So you better shine so bright
Cause we're up against the night
And the shadows always crave a full eclipse
