Heaven's Escalator feat. JON​?​DOE

from Impossible Bottle Service by Sankofa

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This CD is beautiful. Do you know why? It's because Shane Joines made some crazy artwork and then Chef Mike whipped it up in the graphic wizard kitchen and came up with the magicalness that is this CD. There are 50 CDs like this in the world, a handful have already gone to collaborators and folks on my mailing list who swooped it early, SO YOU'LL HAVE TO CLICK BELOW TO SEE HOW MANY ARE ACTUALLY AVAILABLE. I like being small, so you won't find me doing a repress. You want one? Get it! Got it? Good.

about

The antichrist's cookbook, on making the sacred profane.

lyrics

Share the same language but they use it so differently
Building hate castles, as they Choose to grow misery
Put themselves upon a throne as one who finds answers
Leaving questions for the feeble minded financers
A scapegoat with that brand new car smell
Hop aboard the bandwagon, dragging the dark hell
Call now operators standing by to scam you well
waving magic crucifixes with a holy plan to sell
The next twenty donors get a special spot in church
When you give it’s got to hurt, i’ve got a lot of wroth
I’ve got the quotes locked and loaded, set to fire up
I live for greater good, supply your finest ride, it’s us
See the people over there, they’re the scary ones
Close your eyes in this prayer as the rare succumb
That’s the holy spirit reaching in pocketbook
Cashapp, paypal, Venmo got a lot of looks

Give until it hurts and then I’m taking til you’re numb
Finna build a church the merchant working phrases comes
I’ve got the escalator, never mind the staircase
Swear it takes everything you got, not a square’s safe

There's something to be said for said sellers of snake oil
Parallel to hell, Michelle Gellars with face boils
Cruella gives chase, loyal to these felons of faith- spoiled
Far from stellar, Trapped in the cellar where fakes toil
Submersed in self- subversive to subservient shells
Mega churches filled with willing participants surfing swells
Of inflammatory rhetoric, venomous verbiage avails
Amassing fortunes while less-fortunates are stirred into cells
Sleepers that's awakened by appropriate trigger phrases
Wolves in sheep's clothing promoting rejiggered hatred
Marginalize then ostracize- dehumanize those sinners faces
Middle America the nesting ground for reinvigorated basics
The MAGA miasma, patriot actors and promise keepers
Codifying us against them, then launch the seekers
Fahrenheit 451 with zombies on the speakers
Finance action PACs for family values- taunt the teachers
Education is elitist- dumb down the norm the hoardes insanity
Bible porn, the swarm with hons deformed engorged on vanity
Charletans- the great Oz- but we perform to lift the canopy
As our refusal to support this form of distorted Christianity
There's no discernment or acuity
Spearhead a modern dark age the return to where the foolish be
At least u earned a perfect eulogy
Man I hate the hate that u inspire burn in perpetuity
