Pigeon

Metallic wing pigeon...
 Cannibal Ox...
 Birds of the same feather flock together
 Congested on a majestic street corner
 That's a short time goal for most of 'em
 Cuz most of 'em
 Would rather expand their wings and hover over greater things
 That's what we call inspired flight
 By the pigeons that gotta eat pizza crust every night
 And "Let there be light" was understood
 When a mic-stand descended from up-and-above into the hood
 And if my face is worth a thousand words when it's scarred
 I would only hope that two of those are cocoa and butter
 To heal the wounds
 Of the tissue scarred to mark the death of my womb
 But I've graduated, got my wings
 And you've got to let go of my constructed Lego egg-o-waffle halo
 Eh yo, I'm a black man, with an African
 Drum in my chest that beats on the opposite of the right
 Let me know I got a breath left
 In this frigid fragile capsule
 That allows you to fly south before the winter winds trap you
 I wrap my "hell I made it" wetsuit stitch
 So I can swim in elevators crazy wet through piss
 I'm just a pigeon with one mile left
 That doggy-paddles through this bullshit ocean of death
 And these rags-to-riches words will break bones
 Like the assassination of two birds with one stone
 That's why I don't associate with bird brains with their beaks in the air
 Pelicans with wide jaws yap names
 For fish heads you'll get tossed in the flames
 Where some archaeologists will find your skeletal frame
 Eskimo medal doctrine locked in oxygen shell
 Words shot plated metal lung which spun kids' carrousel
 Mega alarm technoloid these boys fight four arms
 Swinging two toes very well
 Terror toys jubilated mega noise when iron works
 Bullet shot animated mad windows with fireworks
 Shinin' summer-time hydrants
 Splash passing cars, now run ghetto tyrants
 These faces carry scars (mega large)
 Pigeons turn penguins, talk fables cellular
 Detached Christ's Word
 But freeze-frame gold chain swing Son of God
 Iceberg gem shines on the neck, ghetto flight bird
 Getting fly like word
 Let it settle
 I remember cats snatched off the pedal (stealing bike days)
 Doo-rags worn tight (Piranha bite waves)
 Smoke cheeba through the lung, Arabian camel
 Fast like a cheetah now I'm knocked off my African sandal
 God damn you! Ethiopian skin mechanical
 Trapped in ghetto's mega yard where mega-hard
 Arms swinging metal palms iron skin leopard
 Holding evil metal eagle attach the desert
 Paranoid fingertips stitched with three-fifty plus seven metal shit
 Tucked behind the belt ghetto style like delicate street etiquette
 Never lactose, metal cow got milk in her guts settling
 Cats gotta eat, swallow beef horribly
 Melanin, mahogany, black boys feed face arachnoid
 Eight arms working short circuit manufactured, crack melted
 Slinging shot guns through the mouth of cracked helmets, black felt it
 Cats who pop flows shot heavy through the nostril
 Brain sizzle, grab the pistol and get hostile
 He caught you alone fuse blown
 Unemployed screaming "That's why I robbed you!"
 Tired of the Medicaid, debted by the car
 No containers filled with lemonade, "You better get a job!"
 Mother talked, just another hawk
 Humiliated bodega food stamp transaction
 Left me in corners, buckled me accompanied by evil hands clapping
 Rocking my "hell I made it" wetsuit stitch
 So I can swim in elevators crazy wet through piss
 I rock my simulated air tank bit
 So I can leave pressures of oxygen where my mic's lit
 I'm just a pigeon
