COMPLY OR DIE
protecting property
with no respect for life
you’re not trained to de-escalate
you’re paid to racially
profile and criminalize
drunk on your authority
toe the thin blue line
enforcing white supremacy
there’s two choices you provide
with seconds to decide
comply or die
just make it home safe
to enjoy life, drink bud light
beat your kids +rape your wife

PONTIFICAL SECRET
pontifical secret, keep it close
stroke your boner under the robe
pontifical secret, keep it quiet
perverted priests prey on the choir
pinky swear, needle in the eye
pontifical secret, keep it hush
let jesus fuck you, our father’s a cuck
pontifical secret, don’t let it slip
only unzip your lips if you’re gonna suck
our fuckin dicks
pinky swear, needle in the eye
cross your heart +hope to die
join us pious pedophiles
as we defile God’s every child

OUR DAILY BREAD
Today we feel the hunger +pain
of life all over again
force fed our daily bread
a buffet of misery and dread
follow to where we’re led
break our hearts and crack our heads

ILLITERACY
music is a language I can speak
but I can’t read
it’s Greek to me visually
music is a language we all speak
the language we need
a few beats of peace +harmony
illiteracy
in any country, any city
anybody and everybody can translate
auditory diplomacy, tonal communique
unspoken understanding through the
universal language of humanity
