Fraternity of the Impoverished

The vocalist beast\nKnowledge like the Pope in this piece\nYou think the ocean is deep?\nFuck with me\nUnbelievable bars\nUnbeatable odds\nUnspeakable horrors\nAt a unperceivable cost\nYour unagreeable response lacks thought and human heart\nThis is Lyrical Law, it’s what I make the music for\nMy prayers are simple, my forehead is layered with wrinkles\nBecause of all the hardships that I’ve been through\nSymbolic Hip Hop prophet speak to your subconscious\nFrench politics got the public thinking the opposite\nI’m a hypo-lyrical, spontaneous, alchemical\nElite, neo-liberal child of the indigo\nDrilling holes through the Faraday cages of your brains\nThen I implant the arcane image of Saint Germaine\nHigh lyrical exponent intelligence quotient\nWhen I’m focused, I can engage multiple opponents\nBut I won’t if I have no motive, soldier, be careful, it’s loaded\nVerbose with emotions of psychosis\nIn case you didn’t notice when I wrote it\nI’m spitting lyrics fitting in tighter spaces than outer-space roaches\nA real MC don’t have to do what he don’t wanna do\nAnd that includes free styling in front of you\nIt’s not like something gon' change\nIt’s not like the whole world gone start praising my name\nI stay in my lane\nI’d rather die by living brave than live like a slave\nI’d rather be broke than be fake and get paid\nThese layers of physicality challenge me\nMy soul is gold and it’s the only thing that’s stable to balance me\nMy energy body has a alchemical copy that looks godly\nNot fat, out of shape and sloppy\nThe iller the rhymes, the more that I embody\nVilified when real recognize real, I gets mines\nStand with the underdog, don’t be a coward\nStop dick-riding people for their money and power\nEven an American flag says 'Made in China'\nThe national debt says the US is a vagina\nOf a black widow spider spraying blood out like a geyser\nWhy do we lose everything we fight for?\nFathers, mothers, sons, daughters\nIn the land of the lawless, sacrificed before Horus\nThe Inca, the Aztecs, the Mayans were masters\nA new beginning is coming, the irony is classic\nThe potential of life versus the potential of death\nEither way, you go through mad mental stress\nGod forbid for you, for her, or him\nWe ignored the gems, now we gotta do it all again\nWe failed Hip Hop’s laws and brought down shame upon our cause\nNow we will fall upon our swords\nThe Shaman pays homage to Solomon\nHe orders them to send the witchdoctor in\nThen asked me to rhyme again\nEvery now and then I get retarded and spit\nI would like to apologize to every artist I dissed\nEverybody assumes I wanna rhyme when I don’t\nSometimes I just wanna chill and watch you flow\nMysteries of the cathedral, the dark overlords are evil\nRipped out the vocal cords of the people\nI walk up to your bed side and disguised with red eyes\nAnd tell you to remember these rhymes\nThis is the season of Hip Hop, believe it or not\nI lined it up with the planet’s equinox\nThe coming caste-less slave society\nObviously the government lied to me\nThe Illumanti’s kidnap of Hip Hop is plain to see\nDead or alive you heard it from the Can-I-B
