lyrics

Sankofa:
See, witnesses corroborate the wicked ways we chop the breaks
Fans reciprocate with lots of plays in this colossal maze
Find us, the hobgoblin of rap, gobbling tracks
B-boys, adipose because they thought it was fat
Barbarella eating barbacoa, got them in the carpet rolled up
artist’s soul is sharpening the sickle in a dark pagoda
No market binge or toga, not content to march in comas
Silversmiths the garbage disposalists, the harbinger’s a cobra
Note the marvelous vocalists sending regards to garden gnomes with this
The Starter jacket packing parappa the rapper chauvinists
Can eat a broken skiff chased with half a catamaran with two sails
Carried the coffin to the salon to add some new nails
And new trails are blazed courtesy of ACRES land trust
No faking glam bucks, my sons fall, I make them stand up
We can’t just lie helpless, waiting on someone to lift us up
Not trying to eat a mud pie when my spirit’s gone and bit the dust

JON?DOE:
Welcome to the church of we the dopest, now kiss the floor
Preacher at the pulpit word is spoken and it's the law
make these rappers pray like they frozen In mid applause
I'm like a demon from below but with
bigger claws
And scissor jaws- got em hoping we cower in turf rounds
Bad news for competition we dopest in our cursed towns
Open the bowels of earth now, the chosen’ll bow the worst down
<Breathe> We force the token to hold em choking the bile of verse down

Sankofa:
I focus on how words sound rather than what the words say
So is cleverness or musicality my wordplay?
I live in a gerrymandered land where power doesn’t answer to everyone
‘Less you’re talking about benefactors getting plenty funds
Got us fixated on the thought of a fix
Pointing fingers at each other in a bottomless pit
I thought it was sick, but then a closer study only made it worse
What IT are we all trying to reach, if we have to fake it first?

JON?DOE:
Dont hate me cuz u not me, we great like anunaki
We blaze, while what you paraphrase is sloppy copy
Distorted like reports on walkie-talkies, watch me off these
Diss the fake because the shit u make is Taki taki
we focused more on lyrical intricacies
While every line u rhyme is bout a bitch and how u give her deez
And all ya ice that makes the river freeze, skipper please
Man the culture and respect is why this spitter breathes
I get under your skin like chigger breeds
Making quitters bleed
Suggesting you invest in padded companies who fit your knees
Locally or overseas we known to bring the sicker steez
Wolves who hunt the pigs that hid beneath the wicker eaves
Huff and puff and switch the breeze- anemoi
u blow but barely swish the leaves, ya devoid
Of any substance any style, many scrubs done went to trial
But still they up and getting filed as rubber chew toys to me boy
