lyrics

when the freeways are empty
silence eats the concrete
rigs and rock stroke the pleasure-body:
i am faust,
in the drug city darkness so tempting
we ain't bosses, how we run the block?
nigga we rentin'
this prose wilts the rose
of the shit that should be said simply
conversations with idle faces
i don't let them near me
out here like sakuraba
with the streets in a wrist lock
watching your empty storefront
get tagged up

nail polish remover
that's how you maneuver
buy the space by our place
then we get erased

development is what you call it i guess
its an invasion but they call it investment

outpacing the complacent
always complicated
keep forgetting i'm in pain
city's decimated
what's the designation
keeping upper classes faded
always for the payment
that's how we stayin'
forever on top of this
doomed metropolis

MORE THAN CRIME
MORE THAN RHYMES

THIS POST-MODERN LIFE

VERSE 2

so
blink and you might miss me
sipping bitter whiskey
perched up in an alley
where, the fiends be
leaning in the back seat
kickin up my legs
girl behind the wheel
she barely college age
we been up for days
tweaking in these streets
no speaking in codes on these burner phones
we off the top rope shooting star pressin' flippin' zones
selling drugs to pay rent
the game is heaven sent
no body stoppin me
slangin white girl in this a man's economy
