Disaster capital commodify catastrophe
It wasn’t me, I’m just a casualty swallowed by the Sea of Galilee
Heavy luggage, too much toiletries
Baggage full of rations slash ashes from the agony
Assess my antipathy, another word for hatred
Anxiously awaiting days painted by the sacred
When it came to me I had to save face, I couldn’t take it
Find me at the bottom of the basin, wading in backwash
I asked Atlas for answers, the asshole just shrugged
I couldn’t keep up, hanging by a holster
Couldn’t even blame him, get that Dirt Off Your Shoulder
Let the beat breathe, false teeth under wreath, sword unsheathed
What’s the word? I bequeath these slurs to whom unearths the absurdity
What’s hurting thee? It stings when I pee
I said what I said, why you laughing at me?
What’s so funny (x2) lately I been showing up to work dressed bummy
Could you please fill me in on the joke? You’re such a tease
Spread disease, an uneasy feeling I’m still reeling from tragedy
Not to be blasphemous, but God please help us
Story of Lazarus, I know you wouldn’t abandon us
Acolyte rising tide with the celsius
Fahrenheit 451 shoved in furnaces
Now who’s the antagonist? From sun up to sun down
Quick succession, teach you a lesson and spark the catalyst
Political vacuum, suck me off in the absence of oxygen
Offshore oil rig, siphoning veins
Arteries and capillaries going up into flames, it’s quite frightening
No need for deciphering, feel it in your bones- SHAKY
Im afraid that’s bout enough, wired my jaw shut
No place for the weak, it’s too early to speak
Eyes wide open, Ludovico Technique
I hear explosions, we hid in the Trojan
Sack of Troy, soldiers deployed, all victims of erosion
If you neeeeeed me you can fiiiiind me at the bottom of the oceeaaaan

A Foreign Army Invaded my Funeral Procession
I went on Shark Tank selling anthrax totebags
My target audience is American suburbanites who share pastel infographics bout Palestine on their instagram story, no pain and all the glory
Just disposable content for you to not give a fuck about
And move on to the next fad you feel obliged to care about passively
(Now back to my business proposition)
They didn’t see the vision, told me to take it somewhere else
Well I’m just being myself, so now it’s on to illegitimate money acquisition
Phishing emails and ransomware, the whole bloody affair
Selling mixtapes from the trunk of my car like ’96 Hova did
Who am I kidding? Nobody really wanna listen
I got jumped on my way home, refused to give up my dough
What little I had, they shot me in the face and my brain went *splat*
A foreign army invaded my funeral procession, glory to the martyrs
Lemme give you a little history lesson, well
For starters, picture imperial puppet masters fucking with their subjects
European laws and contracts
Dealing out the cards, sleight of the hand
Cut it up with barbed wire, a violent C-section on the land
You see, sections of the populace aren’t allowed access to certain parts
Off-limits, border patrol is rather vicious
Villages vacated *backtobacktobacktobacktobacktobacktobacktoback*
Raped and pillaged, they took no prisoners from even neutral villages
We been fighting back ever since and now I got what’s called “ancestry of interest”
Can you believe this shit?
Illegal settlements protected by heavily armed guards
No access to decent medical supplies unless a part of upper echelon
Most people would call this some type of apartheid and supremacy
But you need support it if you want that American presidency
Democratic or republic, fuck it, crabs in a bucket
I grab a grenade and I chuck it, at em
Shit is despicable, the liberation’s applicable to all struggles cross the world, oppressors get what they deserve
The proletarian dictatorship, they afraid of the shit
Downtrodden, my physical’s gone and no longer with us but my spirit lives on between these Ableton loops, calling on all able-bodied troops
Counteract the regime its not a dream, I know to some I may come off just a little extreme
But I have a mouth and I must scream, the just thing to do
Burn it all down and then rebuild it anew, and from the ashes where we make our debut, fuck what you knew
Skirmishes flourishing gather tourists just for purging em
A foreign army invaded my funeral procession, peace to the martyrs
A’udhu billahi minash-Shaitan nir-rajim, know what i mean??????????

Checkitoutcheckitoutcheckitoutcheckitoutcheckitout
Dripped inertia cover freeze dried fluid
Skip minutiae rather get right to it
A date with the pen, that’s time well spent
Coasting life, these rhymes kinda like revenge
And we been exceeding payload, pass me the halo
I found a spare one aboard the U.S.S. Pueblo
You want it, just say so, otherwise lay low
Fed him to the wolves, he was only eight days old
Inconspicuous, flow so meticulous
Continuing to seek to keep meaning ambiguous
Rather ridiculous, I don’t respect English
Menacing percentages I’m guessing can relinquish
Dizzy deficiency, soliloquy, you shittin me
Learned from The Villainy, rehearsing for my symphony
Uncanny valley, where you’ll find me spit obscenities
Online curiosity, made this beat off toluene
Beelzebub, that’s my dawg from the country club
Riddle me this: hammer and sickle need a ticket stub
Insular, not concerned with competitors
Incision on my brain squirting non-sequiturs
Dispossession aint serve me no lesson
Kicked to the curb, outcast, mad stressing
Hopefully these expressions outlast me
I’m under the impression that heaven has now passed me
Deaf dumb and blind, look, everything is fine!
Sharing is caring but I believe it’s all mine!
Hustle all the time, it’s a crime to be poor
Kick you out by force, make sure that you’re insured
Amorphous importance, I’m worried about my performance
Whichever way the moon orbits, bow in accordance
Don’t get it confused, not a supporter of idolatry
More of an oddity analogous to an anomaly
He must be up to something, Much Ado About Nothing
Huffin and puffin it’s fucking not up for discussion
Stoccato bravado, singing a hymn, due diligence
No equivalence, made order outta dissonance
A hideous sight, finite, mass death
Sorry to the heads, I gotta get this weird shit off my chest
Immolation, book full of empty pages
Faceless Patient Zero for contagion
Enemy guerrilla miltia, disengaged
Try to gauge this, boss battle many stages
Turn of phrase enrages high places
Book of Revelation laced with sedatives
Never be complacent, fetus in a faucet
Rations feed us til we flee the Cossacks
Aw shit, situation gleams Byzantine
Not making it out til at least the next holocene
Straight from the go, the whole operation was doomed
Step in dogshit, scrape it on an open wound
Got a lot on my mind you might mistake for performance
Sleep well, we’re storming Jerusalem in the morning
Machiavellian hellion spur rebellion
Authoritarian Aryan utilize Orwellian
Subtitles on, try not to lose focus
Luxury apartment guarded by the homeless
Mahmoud Abbas blackhole score illuminate
Bridegroom new leap from ritzy ruminate
Pythagorean theorem, Peruvian lost voyage
Victorian child, mild case of paranoia
Within the vicinity, find meaning multiplicity
Monomaniacal defy seeping serendipity
Certain significance lurking in all things
Buttery profusion, stereocilia rings
Cochlea bursts ground sounds a quick turnaround
Balaclava shroud, I’m joining The Weather Underground
Hydrochloric acid devour thru the plastic
Get Ur Freak On, I’m writing stats on how spastic
Give your bitch a facial, glacier melts precipice
No precedence to this shit, this the Genesis
They said I couldn’t do it, only works in theory
My plug got the work, we met in Kowloon Walled City
Allow me to demonstrate, heart palpitates enough to satiate craving for acetate
Solution dilates enough to drop the birthrate, mass castration, inverted fellatio, balls dangling
Inmates hydrating off sodium nitrate, once the mandate ends, mass migration
It’s too late they founded a state, it’s a hot location
A rather shitty, sticky situation
No sign of stagnation, a stalemate
Antiquated caliphates encapsulate past desecration
Complication elevates, no end in sight, a figure-eight
Used to fuck her when she menstruate, but it made her hyperventilate

Wrong Channel (feat. Whirlynn)
Snotnoze Saleem:
Police pelted with pebbles, I don’t need your help
I’ll pass the Van Allen belt all by my damn self
Propagate propaganda, slather it, cornucopia
Lil accident murderers off tabs of that MK Ultra
Innocuous somnambulist, facts, your raps is laxative
Come take a crack at this, ima Unabomb all your packages, jack
Ted Kaczynski, rush the stage on Salman Rushdie
Can’t nobody fuck with me, dead or alive, Ted Bundy
A true narcissist, solipsistic, solo existence
Discussing twitter discourse over hot cups of hibiscus
Protest an occupation then right back to your settlement
Elephant in the room, you’re practicing the wrong sentiment
Whirlynn:
Dead, born
Dead,,,, BORN
DEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD
BOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRN
DEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN
