Global warming between my legs, screams against the waves
 Gave birth to thirteen daughters, so now we never run out of water
 My skin layered in diamonds and sage
 Left alone and confused, forces enslaved by days
 Time keeps on whorin us
 Ghetto saviors can't keep ignorin us
 Flowers and flames, flutes from her fingers
 Rifles pointed from her sac
 or was it simply a bag of sticks and stones
 Either way, she wore a compass on her head
 Rains don't stop the grass from turnin red
 Her hair was half perm, half dread
 We gave up walking in a past-life and so we dance
 Arms wrapped around my breath and choked me back to life
 A new world wife, reflecting the sun and rolling dice
 Symbol of the drama yet to come - too late to run
 Time travelling was late
 Watching was a blind man's mistake
 All his assets melted right in front of his face
 His right leg drabbed with demon paste
 Shoes stayed angel laced
 Never count your blessings with haste
 Even a prophet can catch a case
 Didn't realize how sweet the future might taste
 Telepathically cutting through mental gates
 Words were weapons against their hate
 Shepherds search for stars in her hair
 Her chest grew fermented like yeast
 She broke her body like aged bread
 He gave her truth from all the books he'd read
 She wrote her poems inside the mud
 Sacrificed her cervix to fix the future
 Named their boys and spit truth inside his mouth
 Read warm prophet, writing twisted scriptures inside her belly
 Resurrected from bones and dirt
 She made hard niggaz smile
 Left her seeds inside the Earth
 Gave hustlers and killers life's worth
 This is the life we chose, remember who was here first
 Find a reason why you curse
 Gold rushed tongues by dreams too loose
 Sporting electronic nooses
 Hoeing humanity love-ticks over lust
 Despite the damage to destiny you can't take the best of me
 In God We Still Trust
