From The Divide

Updated: Jun 8, 2024


V1

Hash, bash, fight for release

Never can never can trust the police

Right hand, left hand, slap on the grease,

Sell from the well your last masterpiece.


Trite, white, a check in the box

No time this take time to detox

Limousine, guillotine, jack in the box

Art shopping cart ain’t no paradox.


C1

Traces of broken things

Try to back down

From the divide


V2

Drip, drip, there’s blood on the scene

Trace back track back the primary gene

Roar overhead incarceration machine

Home monochrome where the streets are mean.


Think, blink, visualize

Lie to, buy two, try to devise a

Getaway judgement day rationalize

Your rights to fight to disenfranchise.


Fist, pissed, unhumaned by creed

Good understood subverted to greed.

Scheme more scream war all to force-feed

Toothed voting booth just to make ‘em all bleed.


Bridge


V3

Caste, trashed we colonize

Sell to well do categorize

Poor Cold War try to militarize

Brutalize glamorize and monetize.


Last, blast, global broadcast

Pushed to the edge every body harassed

Run from the sun from the brutal forecast

Drill baby kill maybe iconoclast


C2

Traces of broken things

Try to back down

From the divide
