The Politics of Heroin Lyrics

This is Cult Gang from the row homes

Some nights we couldn't go home

Some nights we had no home

Some nights we had dumb white

We had dog food for the low low

With a thing to have you rethinking those gun rights in my Polo

All I had were my dogs and that's all I needed

Used to be ten

Now there's just three of us

All of that resting in peace left us in pieces

Plus my PO pushing back my releases

That ain't pushing P that procedure

Egregious

Other side wants to cross us like G's for Jesus

Jesus

There is a world inside the world

There is a boy outside the borough

Still got the borough inside the boy

But this is their world

We had no choice

This is their would and we had no choice

I was born in the last days

The county made the cash exchange

This is Cult Gang from the row homes

By the cemetery on Rosemont

Serve cocaine like an emissary

Best friend buried in the prologue

This is

Gang warring when they bang your door in with a warrant

And you finally understand the enemy is not the neighbor that you went to war with

It's the letters that they want the citizens to worship

FBI

CIA

DEA

NSA

Then let's say

Anybody that the tenants pay

In the tenement attended to fate

In the penitentiary they been enslaved

Fuck the amendments and the men that made them

And let us pray

Used to be the only opiate that they would let us take

Then they gave us real opiates

The government was hoping it would set us straight

Pushing crack to the black neighborhoods

And fentanyl to the white

The reason that they keep us separated

Cause they're gone the day that we unite

The reason that they keep us segregated

Even though we're poor on both sides

Cause if they knew we had a common enemy

We'd put our petty differences aside

So many drifting in the tide

A cursed christening

The hurt victims get imprisoned when they victimized

Life slipping from their eyes

Christ's risen and then Christ's given to the swine

In america they sell pieces of the sky

And spell Jesus with an "I"

All the tv that you seen since a fetus

Was all to feed us full of lies

And to defeat us in the mind

So we don't even need a reason

We outside!

I'm getting armor for the Armageddon

And the internet's a pentagon weapon

Think about everything you lost to it

It'd be different if the shit belonged to us

But the profit motive's always locked and loaded

They can make a population stop voting

They can take a populist and knock them over

They can topple governments and pop a POTUS

Got the chopper propped against the shoulder

It'll pop pop pop and flip you over

You a top shotter?

Well you're getting lowered

You at the top spot?

You're about to get demoted

The atrocities of coca-cola

And all my homies in infinity

All of the soldiers dead of the defense ministry

Is bootlicking your identity?

Knowing they separate us by identity

Cause they know that class would unite us

They seen it all over the world

They spent a hundred years trying to fight it

They spent a trillion dollars on a million horrors

Killed a billion people just to hide it

It's all there in our history

Why is no one in power indicted?

Pain management conspiracies

Doing the same damage that we did in Japan

They ain't even have to drop a bomb on us

Cause we're nodding off instead of taking a stand

Our disease has been criminalized

They let our revolution die in a cell

They stack trauma on our other trauma

So that we can never get away from ourselves

The block is apocalyptic

Stocking caps for the shopping district

We ain't no shoplifters

I do robberies

I'm here to rob you bitches!

Out the window with the tommy

I do this for Tommy O

And we'll be moving like them Cubans

On the twenty-sixth of July

And it's adios

Shock trooping through the ruins

Looking for humans

I feel somebody close

I put this rhyme into Dom's jacket at the viewing

And I felt his body cold

And nobody knows but

They wouldn't let me be his pallbearer when he died

But I know

That we carried each other when he was alive

I know

They needed somebody to blame

And I'm sorry I overdosed on the train
