Altrice - The King Of Salem Lyrics

[Intro]
Keep it realer than silicone
For real is never home
We bottle our melatonin
To barter for better phone
Kick fodder with the thing you call God for a better home
Now piety makes him deaf
So we gotta use megaphones, now
Quiet as kept for our souls we forever own
I’m skipping some steps on this highway to martyrdom
I'm leaving a mark upon heart made of many stone
Maybe ya life would seem right if ya love was stronger
(We are all just sparrows in a snow storm)

[Verse 1]
They keep us in line
Stand tall, straight spine
Never mind what you wanna see
Grind for the papier-mâché, stow ya paper away
For the day when money no longer matters, see
This is what we buy when we sell us pipe dreams
Pipe bombs what they buy with the cream from our dreams
Make schemes of the dead with the heads of the state
Make fiends for the money
Take means from the hungry
Shake teens for the funny
Now we all just sparrows in a snowstorm
Lost in ourselves and our wealth maybe evil be the true form
Torn between fear for the newborn who skins darker than shoe horn, no shoe in
We can make it on our own two
With alley-oops from Malcolm, Martin
And some voodoo from Wakanda
And still they call my people tribes
Savage, or not alive, like we died in chattel bondage?
You ain't kill us yet, nigga
[Chorus]
Said our rights turned jaundice
Our skin black as onyx
Our freedom took hostage
While free men paid homage
Our freedom took hostage
Our freedom took hostage
Our freedom took hostage
Our freedom took hostage

Said our rights turned jaundice
Our skin black as onyx
Our freedom took hostage
While free men paid homage
While free men paid homage
While free men paid homage
While free men paid homage
While free men paid homage

[Outro]
Triple-digit deaths every where I step
I can hear shallow breath, a dying man from a hallowed set
Hollow points burst from auto tech
Beneath a bed of hearses is where we lay our nation's curses
