lyrics

Verse 1:
Welcome to the shit show, elements of schizos
elephants on thin rope 'cause sadism is in vogue
Entertainment to my ivory skinned kinfolk
The elephants will not forget this pain, bent on a sinful
Retaliation, who can blame 'em? been played with for centuries
Fought against their growth and refused to grant them entry
To basic rights, I hate this blight of racism we suffer
Those who fight the toughest battles blast at one another
While puppetmasters laugh, sit back, and sip on Jack
Enjoy the show defending all that they inflict on blacks
Somehow shocked that slaves had got a chip in their shoulder
Then passed it on to their descendants when a bit older
Been soldiers in a war of systemic oppression
Bigots still look back and call the pandemic a blessing
Hearts are incandescent, still rejecting like a surgery
The social stigmas placed on them while pigs committing perjury

Hook:
Mantis the miasma, think my life Mahabharata
Plus the Ramayana, fought Ravana with Lakshmana
A war of dynasties was raging while I fought true evil
Glad I got a pantheon of gods to help me beat 'em

Verse 2:
Reason is the purest form of power I could find
Ink in bleeding spots on paper helped push further minds
Keep up the tradition, thinking could this all be fiction
Glitching pixels on a system, RPG depiction
Schizophrenic diagnosis, miss my friends, might die alone shit/
All my alter egos my archenemies, they're death a bonus
Losing focus, blurry eyes, every second spent on smoking
Pennies too, I'm broke and broken, Croak like toads from overdosing
Kamakiri, man you oughta fear me
Rapper obsessed with inferno, Dante Alighieri
Took five shots, hope son of God is steering
And I still ain't got a license, but I got a key ring
Used to own a car I never got to use
An old jalopy rear view mirror showed me broken views
Know I'm bumping CNN I don't mean the news
This a war report, more than what's on channel 2
