The irony of life is such, at the same moment

I let the ink flow started writing this here poem

Would have love for her to hear itNot even an hour past, my mother′s body disconnected with her spirit

Few tears started soaking up my t shirt

Seen the face god I seen dove then it got blurred

My mother gave her life to others, others lived for themselves

And left her some baggage full of suffering

Her managers and other high ranking officials

Together plotted to sabotage her militancy

Sat her in an open cell for a year and a half

Where metal shrapnel would rain through an innocent breeze

And while they gave themselves a golden parachute

Mom got sick at age 50, she has to bear the news

Left me with a few words as a legacy

I carry on the battlefield, on a war with destiny

In this economy we flaunt and we justify

The forest weeps even animals pick up the vibes

Staring at a screen fronting like we want to save the planet

And cry when a few bucks out of our Paycheck vanish

While they poisoning the air, 500,000 dead

As if Covid's the only sole culprit, that being said

What′s happening's not a surprise it's very logical

The consequence of this economy is ecological

And I still want to believe that′s there′s higher power

While my belief in the human kind is rather sour

And that's to say, we only get what we deserve

And when the tundra disappeared new viruses will emerge

When I was born I was crying, I wasn′t laughing

Perhaps I knew that I was thrust within a huge disaster

A sacrifice at the altar of this human folly

Insects we crush do more for us in this melancholy

This capitalistic system will exist

Only if everybody at the table getting fed

In 2020 it's Judas who got his fix

Ate all the bread still Jesus let him live

While we protest multi-national supermarket chains

50 years ago, we people let them win the game

Lower prices, more processed food, cheaper brands

How we know to trust em when they slap organic on the stamp

We all responsible for this current circumstance

We vote and manifest, we hate what we see happening

Rallies full of hate waiting for the perfect catalyst

But the revolution will be tied to our consumption

In America, health and prevention′s almost a great sin

Which means the patient and the client are the same thing

Proper nutrition that medicine is less expensive

But Medicare'll do you better when the cancer festers

Had many back and forth′s with some arrogant physicians

Walking thru corridors of hospitals in poor conditions

In which, so many of us suffered the worst trauma

In these sad places where humanity is non-grata

The health systems are fragmented

You got good nurses and doctors on the one side

But on the other side big pharma is outsized

Like a Cartel in the Mexico, the scheme is organized crime

Promoting breakthroughs a mascot on steroids

Who refuses to die numbing his pain with some opioids

A dealer, rocking a pharmacist apron

Who sells us snake oil in a lab down in Dayton

And at the end of the day only intentions matter

Reality will always catch up to the reckless chatter

Solutions easy to find it's not a secret

Thinking about our youth, damn we in some deep shit

Consented to this carnival mapped on the long-term

Costume party the youth are masked with the Mossberg

A shipwreck where it's survival of fittest

A perpetual revisit of 2009 misses

Platforms where you see doctors become the journalists

Alarmist journalists become doctors we watch it burn again

We cancel, judge and crucify but it depends who

Those who own the channel choose who put they put the lens to

And it′s hard to form alliances and get to people buy in

While some, looking for buzz while others is doing science

And I never thought I′d see the day

Where great professors get scolded on by

TV personalities who talk all day

Where the last in class considers himself a genius

Much like a terrorist the same DNA sequence

The YouTube and the TV channel resident

Singing off tune, American Idol of medicine

Spewing agendas off a script with mad confidence

Pushing for measures bringing catastrophic consequence

And the worst that's yet to come won′t even be a virus

These "tools" will all be stuck when comes the next crisis

All I can do is laugh at these godless fearmongers

The fear death became their church within their subconscious

Could a simple vaccine bring solidarity?

Nah, the world's gluttonous with a big lack of parity

Under the guise of protecting the elders

Billions being made on the deadliest weapons

Stats replacing words by technocratic nerds

Numbers ratios leading this undemocratic world

When they don′t like the numbers, they get thrown in a trash

Hidden truths, hidden behind these letters they use to mask

But who's held accountable? And where′s the transparency

We get it, your type plays by different rules apparently

Pain killers other legal drugs in all our cabinets

And when we mention natural remedies they start bashing us

Our city's subjected to the laws of the Dirty Dozens

I turn the News on and all I see is bunch of suckers

Playing with human emotions and taking them for hostage

Pumped us with fear, rational thought's lost in the process

Leaving a welcome sign for fascism to enter

Popping pills to numb ourselves for the dark winter

Mister congressman our hands cannot stop the flow of sand

Why so many houseless in the cold, make us overstand

Conspiracies inspired by conspirators

Who conspire turn around and blame conspiracy theorist

Throughout history all we′ve seen is war and rifts

So don′t try to tell me plots don't exist

Kicks to the gut, schemes for the wicked

Gentlemen dressed in nice suits, we call it business

Lies and weapons of mass distraction

Millions are dead, while the consent is manufactured

Selling war as noble cause you know the cost is death

Avery time they lower oil cost

Fighting war on drugs, "down" with the communists

But really they used drug money to kill the communists

While crack cocaine was tearing up the hood

Seen it in the 80′s they were scheming on us good

During the month of March, they gave us their analysis

The economy can tank we gotta salvage it

And just about a half a million deaths later

Fake news, real news who got the correct data?

Red Alert! Red Alert!

Nobody move and nobody get hurt

Panic buying toilet paper in the bunker

Running a Milgram experiment on Archie Bunker

So many lies peddled, people believe in nothing

Disconnected from it all, rather make up something

And yes, fear and paranoia can make you an addict

Cause and effects, got u doing pseudo-mathematics

Hope is thin, in this divisive atmosphere

Too much smoke, blown up our ass, for the path to clear

And if you got time, to post a million hateful comments

Can you keep the plight of the less fortunate in your conscious

You don't want them here right, the earth is bigger

Drunk driving with your mask on and a hurt liver

And as you wear your mask, you also wear it on your sleeve

Same way, you′ll change your mind depending on the wind speed

But don't worry jack, got my finger on the pulse

Gather the sheep and the pork, I′m a hit em off

And if the number of deaths, that you wanna stop

One percent of the armament budget will make it drop

Every year, 8 or 9 million lives can saved

But providing clean water's been a failure

While these dummies playing, way too busy brandishing their gun

While they selling jet fighters to Saudi Arabia

We playing with fireworks during these deadly times

Life and death, decided by arbitrary line

Life is not black and white just a happy chaos

We celebrate until death comes to end the séance

During this pandem(ic), they pitting them against them

How many dead, waiting for a cure against death

Can read the hypocrisy on their face?

When you bury the ones you hate, just so you can save face

And so it seems that many seem to forget

That we're not bunch of computer you can fix when you sick

Speculative bubbles and economic growth

Gave us a sense of invincibility deep inside our soul

When it hits the fan, they say artist is non-essential

When we hit a rough patch, as if music isn′t helpful?

Yet you use our names when it′s time to raise some funds

When times are bad, you drop us like we weight a ton

But nothing new under the sun my young gunner

In this country a real job is one that makes you suffer

From a sinking ship, we film the one drowns

And turn around and act like a modern day Malcom now

20 years ago, these bright marketers killed the music

Privatized the hospitals guess who's the biggest loser

The way I see unity is way gone

Obama, Bush, the Clintons and the Trumps sang the same song

Our daughters can′t breathe, our sons can't breathe

Their future walking on tight rope without a plan B

Can see the world of tomorrow, written on their faces

We judge them and categorize them, it makes me anxious

Between clichés of terror and homages

Soon to be washed up by a tsunami of broken promise

America on paper′s full of inspiring pablum

When the real America's really a war factory

No talk of reparations ghetto still segregated

We know the numbers like Lauryn got us miseducated

Corrupt police culture and bunch of corrupt officials

Ready to screw our future up, to move up a little

Stuck in a juvenile wrestling match

As if you had to crush or hurt people to get your message passed

I′m not impressed, and there's those who think on the left

Cause they sitting at the bar drinking with couple blacks

You might think you know a few, but you don't know their fight

Hard to picture life in basement from the 8th flight

Until the night you get in a scuffle and catch a right

That′s when you went from being left to the extreme right

And I try not to judge cause anyone can change

Not a child of violence, I rather the peace reign

We pay our taxes whether wins or loses

So we still as American as these folks that be burning crosses

And you can write about your epigenetics

Trying to cope against the times changing that′s just pathetic

Pointing fingers at Africa when you speak of corruption

When nepotism's all we see in this banana republic

You think we equal? Lies, brothers and sisters? Lies

Are you listening? Nah do you respect us?

Lies

Put in perpetual second class to keep you balanced

The "American Dream" sold to the biggest addicts

Alt-right reactionary, liberal anarchist

Inventing words, what the hell′s a right wing populist

Plutocrats for bureaucrats, eco-anarcho fascists

Killing each other at the bottom while they get mad rich

Deforestation, exporting manufacturing jobs

To keep the Dow Jones popping lives get sabotaged

Slave labor, overseas and corporate takeovers

Mansions in America and Africa's the lay over

Migrants in overcrowded boats, don′t nobody care

We ransacked their land for them to die there

We sign contracts then we swindle out of them

Amen, you out of luck If u live in Yemen

More bombs, drone fighters is the avatar

How many kids die, politicians don't say Allah-u-Akbar

Look at Vietnam, look at Cambodia

Kissinger was never judged they put him on a podium

You can round up 400,000 innocent lives

And get the Nobel Peace prize for killing them

Easy to study the theory and codes of their religion

This ain′t the definition of war, this is terrorism

Articulating these ideas became complicated

Especially, when emotions get implicated

And tomorrow we'll cry tears for the present day

Just for us to come, right back to where we are today

Thinking back at Kyle Rittenhouse

Or that driver back in Nice who ran over a crowd

It's the same anger, same madness behind the iris

They′ll say one is depressed, the other is part of ISIS

It′s the culture they be promoted that's the real problem

You can gotta make them talk about you to become somebody

To represent a cause, no longer be anonymous

Where shocking news is the favorite drug of the audience

Where we post on Facebook and we tweet our moods

Showing the best parts and highlights, we pick and choose

Picture perfect life, mad exotic places

Perfect relationship photoshop machinations

And when that break-ups happen it′s "F" everything

Fishing for more likes as a medicine

And when depression and hate, meet at the altar

It's a deadly date with the grim reaper as a stalker

It′s nothing deep, there's really no rhyme or reason

Only a fire that′s exposed during the hottest season

Looking for meaning so we roam

Life can be lonely, nobody wanna die alone

I think about it but can't find the solution

Self centered punks out to brunch living an illusion

With some delusions of grandeur looking for some answers

On TV inspired by life of dead gangsters

You got the Proud and the Boogaloo Boys

Who feel entitled to a land, that was stolen from natives

Calling the BLM protestors a bunch of hooligans

Cops were killed during the storm, who you trying to fool again?

Certain medias trying to down play it

And when we saw the cops kill Floyd they tried to blame him

Dog whistling, we tired of the double-talk

Seeing pundits do linguistical somersaults

Hard to express myself in 140 characters

So I do it here love love, that's how I′m sharing it

In an era where extreme discourse became banal

The bully pulpit throwing tomatoes at the crowd

Since 9-11 seems more souls are close minded

If you got a different belief they wanna close line it

They know my background so every time′s somebody's killed

They wanna know my opinion as if I bore the guilt

Same excrement, different toilet

Joseph Kony still killing it′s so disappointing

Little by little, they peg us as the enemy

To low information voters who we might never see

But when we win big, the skin color vanishes

Look how we celebrate sports after a championship

Tired of rapping bout the same problems for 20 years

It's easy to the sell the world as black and white and be millionaire

Wanna be rich? Deny the history, that′s the grift

What a masterful denial with an asterisk

Let's be afraid to be in public and protect our hearts

Manipulated by our fears thus keeping us apart

That′s what a terrorist wants right? To keep us scared

I guess so far they won, cause we already there

You hear the way they talk they despise the underclass

School curriculums white washed with bunch of crap

Michael Brown, Rodney king to Michel Zecler

But they love you if you Stefan Curry or Clyde drexler

But if you ain't around those neighborhoods you'd never know

How many friends I had to bury, can never let it go

Way Too young to die, victims of senseless killing

No peace, it′s life or death in certain US cities

And it′s hard to comprehend if you ain't lived that

To be harassed for what you look like where you live at

A world destroyed by folks who got nothing to lose

Inflicting pain on the innocent cause they make the rule

It breeds anger, homegrown terrorist

Who shoot up schools under some fictitious narrative

Discriminated at school and when u look for jobs

Every field even housing, you have to fight the odds

And then the youth start to believe it they feel ostracized

Another generation at the margin pauperized

Flip side, so in love with so called excellence

Of these white collars ass crooks that they be selling us

Get paid, only dollars are here to worship

They don′t wanna read about Kwame Ture they rather floss and

Cause all the words, they steal them and flip em

They weaponize them and they use them on the victims

And the intolerant deemed as culture warriors

Acting like they the Victims, they the ones that been victorious

A society where only themselves considered righteous

And any other culture gets treated like a virus

Imbecilic debates I don't wanna partake

Hate speech can never enter into god space

They try to make choose sides either good or bad

Am I "Charlie" or not I′m just me and that makes them mad

Picture a convalescent shooting up a hospital

Nowadays critical thought seems impossible

Living life with death, omnipresent in your subconscious

Inundated with negative thoughts, that you gotta process

Been in a major crisis ever since my day of birth

The elders tell me it's been like this since they been on earth

Compassion packed her bags and she left the block

Leaving a nation afraid boiling in the melting pot

And when the drama hits, people want a scapegoat

All this time, the elected leaders had a say so

Treated like bonobos bottom of the totem pole

We free, but it′s when you free that you more vulnerable

Imagine if I just lose it and start to wild out

And they kill me as my weapon starts to shout out

I know it's sad they would make me out as a pariah

And say I was radicalized five minutes prior

We take note, we accept it and shut our mouths

While the police force repress and control the crowd

Our people suffering, crying out without a cent

And it's society that suffers 100 percent

This ain′t working, we need something that works better

We can′t relate these politicians don't bring us together

Our lives are like fireworks on January first

We didn′t cause the mess, they want us to clean the dirt

It's war against this and war against that

But war is when the bombs blow and wigs get capped

Ask the elders who survived the Nazi regime

Go to Syria or Yemen ask them what they see

On all subjects, security and the economy

The MAGA′s will try to say thing were better back in slavery

Goes back to the clash of civilizations

Greed and violence and effects of globalization

The money crosses borders information crosses borders

Narcotic crosses borders, and oil crosses borders

And money never travels alone

So it's no surprise bloodshed and sorrow also crosses borders

Maybe since Eisenhower is when we held the leach

Our country decided to be the world police

Like a dead beat dad, the land we live in

Is it too much to ask for Uncle Sam to love his children?

Land of the migrants, land of opportunity

Stolen from the native decimated their communities

How many got lynched? How many tears poured?

How many moms screaming "dear lord!"?

And I still stand for peace

Even though it seems technology wants us to beef

In ten years we experienced a century′s worth

Mad loss our entire value system is hurt

Different generations speaking different dialects

Imagine 30 years ago if they had internet

We can debate about it, it's an accelerator

Members in white supremist groups would be a lot greater

Politicians let them fester and grow

Better or worst, all they care about is getting a vote

Some lives matter, other lives not much

Little to no punishment after the Capitol rush

While the indigenous are silenced while pipelines laid

Pretty little speech, Wall Street gets paid

Minerals in Congo who cares? Those are negros

The shareholder's appetite′s larger than Debo′s

While reality shows sucking on our brain cells

Metal hard headed hearts encased in the same shell

Instagram and Facebook gassing up our ego

Priming you for brainwash by fascistic ethos

Is the world much worse? I doubt it

But it's on repeat! In the background while we browsing

And it marinates inside our soul for days

And the echos of anxiety run deep inside our brain

Watching documentaries feeling blue, but if I′m honest I

Rather just watch some animals, cause I can feel the god inside em

And If I die it's with a loving heart my friends

I′m still here Waiting for their world to end
