[00:01.000] 作曲 : Billy Woods\/Preservation
[00:14.928] Burnt offering in the desert
[00:16.796] Shining city up on the hill, I burned it like Nebuchadnezzar
[00:20.677] This world, hard to even take its measure
[00:22.941] Three rooms filled with Incan treasure
[00:24.700] Still strangled the king cause it's now or never
[00:28.245] It's a freedom in admitting it's not gonna get better
[00:31.092] Washing your hands of people you known forever
[00:33.311] I'd be a liar if I feign surprise, a goat eats where it's tethered
[00:37.245] Treat African proverbs like Vegas flyers, I float above the peasants
[00:41.581] Too clever by half, halftime down twenty
[00:44.253] I'm not that good at math, but common sense, I got plenty
[00:47.446] (It's fxckin' over)
[00:48.267] In person, these rappers watches look temptin'
[00:50.565] The chain say envy, but PTSD keep me countin', never spendin'
[00:54.971] My accountant is a head full of bad memories and sad endings
[00:58.814] It's all payment pending
[01:00.779] I'm not concerned with generational wealth, that's its own curse
[01:04.276] Anything you want on this cursed Earth
[01:06.253] Probably better off gettin' it yourself, see what it's worth
[01:09.624]
[01:21.844] The photograph of young Tutankhamun
[01:24.332] Spaghetti links tangled like ramen
[01:26.101] Everything behind the mask rotten
[01:28.088] I tell people I keep it so you not forgotten, but that's cap
[01:31.696] I thought pillars of salt, but she too smart for lookin' back
[01:37.562] Mid-eighties in the rear-view of a gold Mercedes
[01:40.312] Midday sun make the crocodiles lazy
[01:42.904] Money phone pocket dial, run come save me
[01:45.794] Sweet old ladies poisoning pigeons in the park
[01:48.648] For a lark, make mine strychnine, life is a zipline in the dark
[01:52.709] Spare me the Hallmark Karl Marx
[01:54.553] I was in the Dollar Tree break-room playin' cards with quarters
[01:58.376] Stop loss posters on the wall, brick and mortar
[02:01.347] I watched the planet from orbit, remorseless
[02:04.649]
[02:11.774] In pursuance of which, I hereby decree...
[02:14.813] (that this decree hereby abrogates decree number forty-seven, )
[02:15.019] All these decrees are herewith abrogated and in their place, the following decrees shall come into immediate effect.
[02:20.000] (decree number one hundred and one, decrees numbers two hundred and eighty three to three hundred and sixteen inclusive)
[02:23.850] For it is our duty to extirpate such traitors and agents of subversion...neocolonialism.
[02:29.902] Termites, locusts, pests and poisonous rodents...
[02:31.026] (It is therefore decreed,
[02:33.998] that as a warning to all other enemies of state...) (...these recent saboteurs shall be publicly hanged)
[02:37.524] Cut it, cut it off. Has no one here (?). Cut it
[02:41.686] (Which, taken together with decree number two hundred and nine,
[02:42.282] Kabiyesi
[02:44.416] Come back here, you!
[02:46.501] three hundred and thirty three and decree number)
