Eat The Crow
I was a beast in utero
I want dirt under my cuticles
'Cause round here living in fear is the usual
To me sometimes when we bleed it's beautiful
Asked a citizen something and then her brow furrowed
I said are we triumphant without a town mural
I'm a native new yorker and we are loud neurologically
Everyone speaking like this is our borough
But my block is an anomaly
That's why I'm taking public transpo' can somebody transport me
To a place with some modesty and honesty
No struggle is a struggle ironically
Everyday a new low
This is going to slow
Put me in the fast life
I swear they're gonna eat crow, eat crow
Born and raised in this plain ass city
Where the train tracks tempt me 'cause the atmosphere banal
Nothing noteworthy ever happened here at all
Got me soul searching
But they're laughing at the gaul
Cast me as the dopest fucking leper that you've ever seen
Put me in your garden then I'm poisoning the evergreens
Bad seed bad motherfucker no one intervene
I have an explosiveness
Temper that you've never seen
Lights camera action please
I'm grandiose if you a dope then you has to leave
I might choke if the folks that I know emote passively
Life is a stage the show passin' me
Shakespeare
This ain't the Salem Witch Trials so they probably won't
Put your damn head on a stake here
But you will be excluded instead
Which is probably worse
Watch where you tread when them snakes near
