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

[00:00:00] Open your eyes

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

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

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

[00:00:13] Stretch out your hands

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

[00:00:19] Cigarettes filled with tobacco

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:14] Socially engineered design

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

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

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

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

[00:01:36] We appear like messiahs

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

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

[00:01:44] Come woman

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

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

[00:01:55] Come man

[00:01:58] Burn your conscience

[00:01:59] Burn it slowly

[00:02:01] Betray us never again

[00:02:03] Hurry gger

[00:02:05] Hurry

[00:02:07] Time is running out

[00:02:09] Come Child

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

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

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

[00:02:23] The time has come

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

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