Windhoek - Billy Woods, Mach-Hommy

They put the plexiglass back how it used to be

Before you came around everything was out of reach

Scattered clapping after the speech

Next Act took no one just played they beats

Beats me, 'bout all he told the beast

Took a knee somewhere around shining sea

(No bobbing though)

Under the undertow, piles of dope

Felt some type of way, the plug don’t smoke

Come off the plane smell like curry goat

Face like I just passed the teller a note

Calm and cordial

Overly formal

Regret to inform you, this the new normal

(new bar same as the old bar)

They got fanta leaf in the burbs

At it like Patty Hearst

Love hurts

Undeterred

For the thousandth time, went ahead and armed the Kurds

Dead birds as far as the eye can see

We survived

We were new in our own eyes

All the lies I’m 'bout to tell are true

They just had to rhyme

We made it out alive

We were new in our own eyes

We survived

We survived

We were new in our own eyes

All the lies I’m 'bout to tell are true

They just had to rhyme

We made it out alive

We made it out alive

Edward Gorean public housing

The township Robert Townsend

Potemkin village outside Towson

Town square got a full Italian fountain

Model home shuttered, Piru windows

Me and her still browsing

Dénouement score by de Troutman

Savion Glover when I’m counting

Instead of poets, you motherfuckers begat accountants

Mach whispered, «how the gat sounded?»

Holy grail, frail chalice

Palace shook while the artillery pounded

Break every idol on your fuckin' mountain

We survived

We were new in our own eyes

All the lies I’m 'bout to tell are true

They just had to rhyme

We made it out alive

We were new in our own eyes

We survived
