Verse One:
People have a memory loss they don’t remember I’m the boss
You’re claustraphobic when I close it
In on your men and your faculty you wack’ll be
Out my face you must be basin’ if you think
That you could tackle the triumphant I pump it
The volume increase as you mices get sliced to pieces
Please listen to my album even if you’re white like talcum
And I paid t’getcha stay here
Tuned with my tune and I presume if you see doom designated
To anyone who stated, a word against me
I serve an mc, simply
Put like my foots up your anus, ya shame us
Tryin’ to get over, I’ma go for mine
You know the time now they are older
I’m gonna rip n—a’s heads with the said salutations
Introducing Del and his bid for boosting tails
Of my adventures, attempt to try
And you will limp or die, whichever I choose, you lose
Crews get ashamed cause we blame them for bitin’
You might win if you start writing, and stop fighting
No time for games, I’ll rearrange my vocals
In your headphones, I hold til I get a answer
Acknowledge and abolish all the wack records
Hieroglyphics, you know, repect ’em

Chorus: [repeat 2X]
Who caught the harm, you bought the farm
If you’re friend, there’s no need for alarm

Powerful and haunting. Reminiscent of The Gorillaz “Cloud Of Unknowing.” It struggled not to post this instantly once I came across it.


The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
