Album Cover P

Armand Hammer

6

Zimbabwe, Rhodesia

Drive in movie theatre

Toyota Cressida, heavy metal speakerDon′t kill the messenger

Henry Kissinger, my album's only feature

Xeroxed visas, a world passport

Home where the hatred is, no mystery God

All data lost, spirit roaming

Beast versus harlot at the garden

Sucking tongue under starlight

My six-headed bride, black on both sides

Purged before birth, numb before thirst

The happiest Africans

How I started my verse for Live Aid (85)

Rehearsed for "We Are The World"

And got cut for Chris Hayes (super high)

Had Belafonte coughing off that uptown church, that Bouday (wide-eyed)

I went to the edge of earth, sun-burnt, black as Pompeii

White women with pepper spray in they purse

Interpolating Beyoncé (illegal formations)

Your money′s no good here

No good

On face or name, logged away

I might remember, I might ask again

I be everywhere

What blessings is, what curses come

Air feels thick

The end is a six letter story

Green eyes, I'ma see you next lifetime

Something on the stove if you hungry

I think I might've left in my right mind

Why I still gotta dress for a thought crime?

Camouflage vest, don′t you cross ties

Thinking that you will, but you won′t, but you won't, oh

Poking out my third and my fourth eye

I was born on the fifth day, my drink cold and my fish fried

Spin out in every which way

I been through, I been inside

The rock pays in scale diagrams

Coke out the sky, rocks big as your hand

A Gulfstream five that don′t ever land

CIA scams, revolutionary plans

Overlapping Venn diagrams, overlapping

The hammer fell out your man's waistband grappling

Anything can happen if you tryna make it happen

Get head (head) tapped (tapped) tryna get it cracking

Mind cracked open, seeing all the patterns

Was a time would′ve been oracles and seers

Now madmen squatting in caves

Trains crashing through caverns

Stick figures hunting mammoth

Crude language, dick suck glyphs on tablets

Bushmen watch the world come off balance

The sky tumble

Hunter-gatherers, watching black giants walk out the jungle

Alien in spaceships

Low clouds sit, heavy with lightning

Men pregnant with death, frightened at the quickening

It totters on unsteady legs, boy, you invited to the christening

Your money's no good here

No good

Declined
