Wouldn't it be nice if We had an amendment To give civil rights to Women To once and for all just Really lay it down from A point of view of Women I know what you're thinking That's just redundant Chicks got it good now They can almost be president But worker against worker Time and time again As the rich use certain issues as a tool And when I said we need the ERA cause I'm a fool. It's cause without it nobody can get away With anything cruel You don't need to go far like Just over to canada To feel the height and sense of Live and let live What is it about americans Like so many pitbulls Trained to attack them To never give We gotta come down abortion Put it down in the books for good As central to the civil rights of women Make diversity acceptable Make it finally understood Through the civil rights of women And if you don't like abortion Don't have an abortion Teach your children How they can avoid them But don't treat all women Like they are your children Compassion has many faces Many names And if men can kill And be decorated instead of blamed When a woman called onto mother Can choose to refrain And contrary to ions(?) Of oldtime religion Your body is your only true cominion Nature is not here to serve you Or at any cost to preserve you That's just some preacherman's oldtime opinion Life is sacred Life is all so profane A woman's life It must be hers to name Let an amendment Put this brutal game to rest Trust women will still take you to their breast Trust women will always do their best Trust that our differences make us stronger, not less In this amendment Shall be family structure shall be free To be the right to civil union If we take unions of all kinds Unions of hearts and minds To give society communion Let's do more than tolerate Let gay and straight resonate And emanate all things human With equal rights and Equal protection Intolerance finally ruined And then there's the kids rights They'll naturally be on board A thunnel through which Womens' lives are poured Our family is so big and we're all so very small Let a web of relationship be laid over it all Over the ... Of power piled up into the sky Over the illusion of autonomy on which it relies Over any absolute of nature that's not surprised(?)

Blue lights in my rear view Got me squintin from the high beams But my license and my registration clean So I ain't trippin They'll let me be Couple squad cars and a K9 unit Got damn How much do you need Then he walked up Like hop out I clocked you going over your speed Now I'm steppin out a my car slow With my hands up Like don't shoot Reachin for my wallet Pow bang bang Now I'm on the ground lookin spooked I'm Panickin It's gettin hard to breath I gotta reach my Baby So I scoot But my shirt soaked And my eyes rollin As I fade away turnin blue Ha Baby girl in her car seat Screamin like she just seen a ghost But them sheets covered by Black suits So we learn to hate the Black more Guns drawn with a new clip Cause that last clip put me on the floor Miranda me while puttin handcuffs on While the dash cam watch me die slow Damn See he ain't worried about jail time Cause he knows that he can get off Lawyer called it self defense Judge agreed Homicide now justified cause Not scared of takin any Black lives Cause he knows the jury goes soft On His kind but his kind Is the reason why we made laws We need change We need change Now they in court My momma's in tears The jury's in deliberation My homies in pain Strapped up and indecisive Better pray that they don't lose patience Couple hours later Guess they got the verdict Hurry up the people want justice A little suspension With reduced pay That's the only charge that he's facin So my Momma's cryin And my daddy's cryin And baby girl's cryin too Family been strugglin And loosin money Now they thinkin What we gone do Got him on camera Screamin I can't breathe Get in court Like naw that ain't true How the fuck a man With his hands up Make you scared enough so you shoot I Got robbed By my fuckin brother But I ain't mad It's all good I know nigas shootin Cause their favorite colors Not dominant in their hood Hate to think that I could take a life But in reality man I could Cause if it comes to you Or my family I will not hesitate if I should I'm Sorry God I know that I was wrong Premeditation was on my mind I was searchin for you Didn't wanna bother Lucy only thing I could find All I had on me was some pocket lent Ha I couldn't even buy time I was face to face With a fuckin demon My reflection lookin eye to eye

In this space so infinite A sea of milk we float like wood As we wait, rescue me Bring me home, give me peace If i let you off Would you leave for good? I hope not As we lose our bodies fold A subtle change until we're cold As we wait, rescue me Bring me home, give me peace If i let you off Would you leave for good? I hope not Do you see neglect in me? I feel the storm, an old fury As we wait, rescue me Bring me home, give me peace If i let you off Would you leave for good? Would you take your time Or run like hell? Would you know my name? Would you sink or swim? If i let you off Would you leave for good? I hope not

In my mouth there is a hurricane Just let it out On the radio a bunch of fakes Just shut them down Hum along And regret it Cause you alone Would get it God don't make the laws When I get bored I use novocaine To numb the sound I'm the sixth spice, the heavyweight I bring the frowns Hum along And regret it Cause you alone Would get it God don't make the laws I'm the heavyweight And I don't know why I got the sixth sense To make the girls cry How unamerican How unamerican To leave em fainting Waiting for a breath

Miracles masked to mend The literal for illiterates In shady towns People forget A union wage That extra tear We overpaid And disappeared Without a trace Into the voids And we hope that someday We'll awaken in our garden To the sound of a new parade They celebrate The coming years Until that one That we fear It's all numerals And zeros And we hope that someday We'll awaken in our garden To the sound of a new parade And we hope that someday We'll awaken in our garden Push off that war we waged We'll awaken in our garden To the sound of a new parade

At the opportune moment I swoop down, swing, swing, i missed her Now it's out into the open I call her, ring, ring, she's not there At the opportune moment She tells me, fling, fling, "i kissed him!" Now it's out into the open I go out drink drinks i can't stay in It's not like her To make me feel guilty To reduce me to nothing At the opportune moment I remind her faith what she has lost Now it's out into the open I feel like a weight has just beeen dropped It's not like her To make me feel guilty To reduce me to nothing But it's my life, it's my life

This new invasion In conversation It leaves me waiting Spoken like a rat That's the brilliance of the bureaucrat You're tempting me to be The modern log In times of crisis The modern log With every issue Break out those tissues I really miss you Spoken like a rat Lets give praise to the implants You're tempting me to be The modern log In times of crisis The modern log Opportune Moment

You could have it all But i can't have it too Now i'm at that age Where no one pulls for you And you want it bad Whatever's left of you And you want it bad But there's nothing you can do Whatever's left of you Never had the range To put it in my sights Never had the strength To pull it to new heights And you want it bad Whatever's left of you And you want it bad But there's nothing you can do Whatever's left of you I'm at an awful age I'm at an awful stage We don't stand a chance It's the death of true romance When a glance was just a glance We don't stand a chance If i sell my heart I'll leave it far behind But if i could restart There would be a spark you'd never find
