A Beast Caged

Dalek


Rusted irons trap mental, thought's essential 
Mask meticulous movement towards central 
Sip from holy grail to breath eternal, but time's concurrent 
Displace visual with iller words, I'm slurring 
Inferred meaning missed target, Minute margins 
Make the most hardened crumble when they're forced silent 
Our only virtue left is pure violence 
Remain defiant 
Incarcerated souls sold to build empires 
I grow tired of tyrants passed as presidents 
Evidence to theft swept under oval carpet 
As inmates and children kept starving 
True criminals walk free with presidential pardons. 

Somber note takes hold of optimistic 
Mind that tongue they surveillance visits 
Nostalgic visions bring us back to days of backspins 
When trivial infractions got your jaw fractured 
Shattered lineage from land of US sanctions 
Indebted servants to democracy 
Feed their families with mere pennies 
There's that truth you seek... 
Knew you wasn't ready 
Implications too heavy 
The stickup kids I fear wear three-piece suits 
Subdued murders lose their meaning when you stand accused 
Most my people was born with their necks in noose 
So now I wander own streets verses packed in twos 

Some succumb to pressure 
Resort to drastic measures 
Modern slavery sanctifies corporate greed 
Economies solely based on prison industries 
Becomes reality 
Dilutes humanity 
Our common enemy has long since won 
Paint melanined as monsters for years to come 
Brushstrokes evoke sage in this heathen MC 
A beast caged in the heart of the city 

This beast caged in the heart of the city 
Circumvents common speech 
Gutter tongue kept filthy 
Histories passed in handshakes 
Wisdom achieved 
Victory's always fleeting for these pseudo MC's 
Trapped by narrow minds 
Eyes blinded 
Political prisoners terrorized in confinement 
Confirms what we learned of US police state 
Asphyxiate the people they claim to liberate 
While you debate Democrat Republican... 
They ran the game on poor again 
Latins and Africans 
Chained at wrists and ankles 
Create profits for world bankers 
This heart filled with rancor 
Resurrected by this modern Rome 
Where hate's condoned 
Inherent anger strangles what night has shone 
Found shelter when conscienceness faltered 
We've all been offered as Abraham's son on ruined alter.
