mira esas caras

Look at those faces

Mira esas caras

El cielo winks and smirks

Got me believing Divine

Had fingers crossed when he was making us

Promises he would eventually keep

Did your hustle add up to enough merit

Gifted and talented status that distances you

From your hood hardly recognizing your roots

You was on the block they discussed in class

And didn’t find any of those pathologies or theories

Cited in academic articles footnoting your faith

Laughed at lectures because professor ideas were all wrongly

Based on faulty research

Patriarchal genocidal white supremacy

Hierarchy fallacy of savage natives

When all they do is take our creation

Wonder why we so impatient

We living on borrowed time

Was loaned Smoking Lovely

Was supposed to return it in two weeks

Overdue charges

Were worth all the bad credit

Need to chill soak in the ocean skin a sponge

Heart a drum to make the waves

Crash against mind’s shore

Memories overflood motivation

Until immobilized watching the movement maintain

While yall were up in VIP

We were behind the velvet rope in the rain

Hoping to shimmy shoulders until sweaty

Shake off ancient oppression lethargic lint

Clinging to static shock as erratic clock

Second hand skips precious few moments to never return

All that privilege low on totem pole

What did weactually learn as the mundo turned

What did we shout to make the world stop spinning

Silent screams won’t deliver destiny

Exclusive 16s might make you platinum

The sun will give you a shout out

Only if you up in time to hear lovely livelification

Don’t let that determination turn drowsy

Beautiful day even if it’s cloudy

Sky said what’s good fuck your frownys

Don’t slide with fiction stay true to your honesty

Any probably should be most definite certainty

Universe has no sense of urgency

But a thunderous cackle at your agonizing absurdity

Mumbling your definition fumbling with your tradition

Bopping on the block please stop bullshitting

It’s raining because Jesus Christ

Crying at how we living
