[Verse 1]
Misunderstood, mis[G]guided maniac,
Lacking social skills and will
to [Em]fit your mold.
I told your kind before
not to expect the world
From I who [F]hates the world,
I'll burn your [Am]flag unfurled.
[F]Propel[Em] my anger past rage,
What you thought [G]was phase
is the air to my everyday
[Em]I raise a fist against
your rusty cannons
Abandon my every shred of decency
Devise plan to [F]topple politician
in vicinity
Your ideas of liberty, archaic
[Em]You took freedom
and enslaved it.
I don't portray the role
of revolu[G]tionary,
[Em]Just slice the j[G]ugular
of society on a [Bm]Tuesday
[Em]While crews play cypher-
cypher- freestyle
I listen to [G]Miles with in[Em]verted smile

[Verse 2]
inking scrolls in exile.
[Em]Infantile attempts by heads
at bending necks
You pose no [Dm]threat
Behind the [Am]ears you still [Dm]wet
Hold tight to stereo[Am]types
like Newport cigarettes,
[C]Pitbulls as pet[Em]s,
and bootleg mix cassettes.
Infantile at[Dm]tempts by heads
at bending [Am]necks[Em]
[Bm]As my mind g[Am]rew you slept.

[Verse 3]
[Am]Expect [Em]no friend from this
[Bm]form I took
You mistook me as one of your own
I bleed words of the griot onto poems
Lonely wanderer,
[D]There's no [Em]honor amongst thi[Dm]eves,
There's more than [Em]amongst
[F]Mc's
Who needs enemies
with friends like these
[Em]Quick to deaden pulse for that Maltese mic
[G]Beware the Cannanites performing
pagan rites
[Bm]At twili[Em]ght as last of the
embers glow bright
One can see [G]the looseness
where things were once tight.
I [Em]prefer reciting prose over
composition[G]s by Riech.
Re[F]cite...[G]

[Verse 4]
They [Em]impolite...[G]
Neophytes...

[Verse 5]
So trite.
[Em]Infantile attempts by
heads at bending necks
You pose no threat
[Dm]Behind the ears you still wet
Hold tight to stereo[Am]types
like Newport cigarettes,
[Em]Pitbulls as pets,
and bootleg mix [Dm]cassettes.
Infantile attempts by heads at bending necks

[Verse 6]
[Dm]You
pose no threat
Behind the [G]ears you still [Am]wet
Hold [C]tight to stereotypes like
Newport cigar[Em]ettes,
[Am]Pitbulls as pets,
and bootleg mix [G]cassettes.
Infantile at[Am]tempts by head[G]s at bending [Em]necks

[Verse 7]
You pose no threat
Behind the [C]ears you still wet
Hold [Am]tight to stereotypes like
Newport cigar[Dm]ettes,
Pitbulls as pets,
and bootleg mix cassettes
I vent my [F]anger on all [Em]angles Would strangle

[Verse 8]
[Em]
angels if
they'd let me.
Suspect entire populous in
attempts to sup[G]press me
Left empty when [Em]all
I trusted rusted thin...
Able to see true [Am]layers,
[Dm]Undefined [Em]tongue I spoke to familiar strangers,
now seems even stranger
Cradled that blue baby in his manger until
I grew too weak to utter lies
Stomach filled with roaches
not but[C]terflies
[Em]I sever ties with all of you
who despise me.
Welcome to the [Em]truth, undefined reality.
