miracle and streetfight - Ambrose Akinmusire

The treasure getter

The clever letter speller

The repetition is the editor

Repetition, repetition

Gang shit

Throw ya set up

Hood shit

Throw ya set up

Pussies get wetter

Man the soul is a factory

Cooking the actions up

Actively looking for escape routes

Gaze at the starry sky

The moon the tombs

Carried out from the tombs

Of the buried ones

Mothers and fathers

Burying sons

Daughters

The snar-

The snarling darlings

Left in the moonlight

Learn to fend for they-selves

The shuttering stuttering sputtering muttering

Prayers, chants, incantations, curses

Blessings, hymns, and sayings

Craving idols

Neon tapestries

Cash Cole grinning in shallow hallways

Carrots dangled over the balconies

Fox hunts through the halls of academies

The paint peel off of the wall

The hot heat of the bonfire

Skin is a strong paper

The drum is the first and the last meal

The drip of the blood in the wine glass

The dine to the howl

The sweet horrible backdrop

Sucking the last drop

The tree sap bleed from the trunk

The bees buzz

Birds dig worms from the soil to toil

The natural bounties

Displayed on the table of life

Strife

The labor to heights

The depth

The breadth

The chest heaving

The flesh reeling this evening

The twist turn slide vise

Socialize dip dive

The hunger

The thirst

Ravenous

Oh the wild energy

Never could slow down

Oh just slow down

The show go on yo

The trembling spirits awake in the night restless

In a bite of the darkness

Wow, now this

America

America

Americana

Amerikanah

The big monster

The pigs kill men

With the pig miss darker

God fearing folk, they fear Allah

Bring the drama

Nothing but problems

Why they wanna fuck with a guy

None ever could measure the magnitude

Please slide through the avenue

Question jan, answer man

Question man, got an answer for you

Answer back, question that

Blessing the sessions with

Plenty crack

Gang shit

Throw ya set up

Hood shit

Throw ya set up

Pussies get wetter

Fresh from the steps up

Blessed up

From the head up

Get the bread up

Reach into my lexicon

Flexing the reference on

Any or every measure
