Reverse / Scratch / Verse / Graf (Live) Lyrics

Verse, scratch, verse, graf

Reverse, scratch verse

Mitigate/ inner hate

Let it ventilate

When a mental break accelerates

Angst resets to blanked slate

Share narratives across barrios

Reverse:  deconstruct/ threat type stereo

Familial scenarios/ searching for material

Programmed fear of you/ automatic fury calls

Involved mundane miracles/ mirror through line

Many channels/ gambled hands filled

Potted self til a man held

Tightened strings/ tuned to doom

Loomed to you/ ventriloquist got rubrics cube

Qued to mood/ shoed past pitfalls

Potentiated projections/ intersect in vivesections

Elected into a micro-aggressed collective

Measuring fleeting gestures/ sequestered as conjectures/

Obsequiousness festered into the evil of two lesser

Reverse, scratch, verse, graf

Reverse, scratch, verse, graf

She expressed/ they expressed

She versed

Dream sequence proceeds beneath the rush

Not okay like Texas Board of Ed/

Deleting us

Texas McGraw/ fugitive obsequious

Racial neutrality means you didn't speak with us

Systemic substituting/ I'm parachuting

Racism is brooding

Systems of reality glued in

I'm hip hop and this is music

Another Black and Brown sentence

In the school to prison nexus

Sections of history amended like anti-CRT henchman

(If you can do it)

Chi-town transcends tremendous menace

If you can do it / and keep it fluid

And two shoe it/ I'll give you a tulip

The same meaningless conversation is sparked

And though MLK day is still marked

On the calendar/ struggle's below the surface

We've all configured these answers that are perfect

Reverse, scratch, verse, graf

Reverse, scratch, verse, graf

She expressed/ they expressed

She versed

Vicissitudes leveraged/

Solicit a dimension

Best left to a reverend

(Reverse, scratch, verse, graf)

Still unequal and separate

Facilitated oppression

And education is the method

(Reverse, scratch, verse, graf)

Reverse, scratch, verse, graf

Reverse, scratch, verse, graf
