Upholding The Veneer Of A Lesser Estate - Cipher/MF Doom[00:00:00]

Open your eyes [00:00:00]

Still heavy and inflamed by late night television and tears [00:00:02]

Tears you attribute to lack of sleep [00:00:07]

While ignoring your soul sick weariness [00:00:09]

Stretch out your hands [00:00:13]

Still crippled and burnt from keyboards and cigarettes [00:00:14]

Cigarettes filled with tobacco [00:00:19]

That out of mere historical curiosity [00:00:22]

You wonder how would have burned if harvested by slave [00:00:25]

How sweet cane cut by a nubile wench would have tasted [00:00:29]

How soft to the touch cotton [00:00:34]

Picked by a strong buck would have felt [00:00:36]

How effective indigo dye of yesteryear [00:00:40]

Would be at disguising your inadequacies [00:00:43]

How fulfilling it would be to reclaim land still damp[00:00:46]

With the blood of first nations [00:00:50]

Imagine all this while we fuel wars with beautiful diamonds[00:00:53]

And kill infants with horrible ignorance [00:00:57]

A 500 year harvest of catholic church green-housed [00:01:01]

White-supremacist- manicured new growth patriarchs [00:01:05]

Rotten five century fruit betrays it's genetically modified [00:01:10]

Socially engineered design [00:01:14]

Hurry hurry faster We haven't much time [00:01:17]

We're still vomiting salt so our bodies can come home [00:01:24]

We're still walking on water [00:01:29]

Aided by the buoyant remains of our brethren [00:01:32]

We appear like messiahs [00:01:36]

But from below we stand hollow[00:01:38]

On the still rotting corpse of inherited shame [00:01:39]

Come woman [00:01:44]

Show no deference to vacant effigies [00:01:45]

Place this mirror womb to the face of humanity and betray Godhead proffered mythologies [00:01:49]

Come man [00:01:55]

Burn your conscience [00:01:58]

Burn it slowly [00:01:59]

Betray us never again [00:02:01]

Hurry gger [00:02:03]

Hurry [00:02:05]

Time is running out [00:02:07]

Come Child [00:02:09]

Kill if you half to [00:02:10]

We will burden you no more [00:02:13]

Come child Bring this world to its implosive end [00:02:16]

The time has come [00:02:23]

This is the harbinger of a new age [00:02:25]

We are the children of God's fire[00:02:28]
