The Point

• Written by 

i'm from the roads not the streets, backwood creepin
holy sneakers, hand-me-downs, receiving
church raised still deviant, meaning devil in the head still speakin
never had stomach to digest the mess that the weak spin
blessings of the worlds for the elite and
the rest of us baaah with our sheep grin,
and cower to TV pens. cerebellum weaken
inter-synapse ads on the deep end,
we heaped in steeping piles of bull shit, better fertilize or die,
dreams of leaving a life of struggle, bunkering down
in huddle til we realize that why
the safety can't be ours, is the guys up high
first the thieves then the ones who divide the pie
never gonna be even: well, surprise, surprise
greed and fame is authorities highest prize
what i got can't be bought, its a mind-device
diamond blades to cut carots into refined in sight
hope your spine is strong enough to keep you reclined at night
sleep gets scarce, when the pain of others reminds whats right
nearly 900 dead at cops hands, since this new year rung in at midnight
they're all gunning and still free, we're poor without property
the shit-stym just don't sit right, the arc of history better get right
like a rip tide, cuz the vocal poor get ripped right outta their cars
pushed thru pinball legal proceeding, the point is shame and demeaning,
with the hope of you agreeing, that your not a human being.
do you see it? point of your life to a boss is the work,
the part that you hate is the same, so how can you agree with
someone who finds glee in your pain? if you disagree with
the plan, billy club bull put you in the can
cuz Power to the People, means you ask nothing of the Man.
Goddamn, can my cigarette lungs, keep up with my typing wit
like a lazerbeam shot through lightening spit, liberatory
history counterbalances a springboard tongue tip
knobby tire turn grip, gravel spray on the bass kick
i'm ender-ing off with the egg in a space ship, Brillig graced this
can you dig it Lemmy's spade the way I aced it
 
grace note to next movement, migrant boat to escape shooting
in syria the gas price drops to prevent looting, but public massacre's
scarier the last life flopped, rent a movie and/ break the
blood/ propaganda/ brain barrier
screw that, if our lives are that cheap
lets choose to not sell'em scrabble them together like beer run
change counting to fund the next rebellion.
downtrodden got beat boxes over hard-knocks
stories we gotta tell' em, life-stealing employers are
the real felons, the rich will lie the poor are honest
thats how the greed develops, we get by IN SPITE OF
not BECAUSE of the Job creators, snappy as a
pitch-fork provoked ditch gator, every ceo a mini
bitch-vader, caped out in angst: TGI Fridays waiters
a profit mind-state's vacant, never satisfied or placated
skip the hamster wheel, heartily laugh at you
out of breath jogger types wondering why your soul
feels static and unreal, sentimental but cant feel
detrimentally devoid of a spine that can deal
wih just a little resistance, cuz i'm just squeaking
til we get wheel pitched in a new direction
tacking wind-tight intention, cresting stacked bass
a pyramid in the brass section, revielle time to rise
No More Subtracting the Nine-to-Five, from entire lives
we'll share our pennies together, then throw
your life denying dice, we know they ain't laying right
and can't contest with your badged boys in sight
your greed leaves lands as poison blight,
functionally devoid of life, laws systematically
avoid what's right, like what the poor denied
water, food, shelter, dignity and an unjudging eye
like to make money for someone else is the only
judge of what's right, whether your wallet or your
belt is tight. I know the poor don't deserve their lot and
the rich exploit to get what they got
company man gets a headstone, empty life and company plot
thats the dream if you with it grab a shovel and dig it til you drop
