A Heretic's Inheritance

Exist at base levels
Prevalent systems seem built for decay
Delayed reaction to dismay displayed in various ways
Thoughts conveyed concise Oppression seen as Might
Toppled by concepts of patience and leverage
Privilege is hemorrhaged and relabeled Heritage
A heretic's inheritance
So complex to identify as American
Half saying it's better when
other half's attacked by Shepards
Quick to dismiss and bury facts of a past
mad checkered
I play chess dun put away your checkers
We gots to do better!
My expectations are tempered
Your contempt for gnosis is showing
Exposing fragile fault lines
Timid tyrants turn out to be small time
still guilty of war crimes
Honestly don't miss the before time
Primed to execute my best work
Exert energy fractional to its return
In turn I've learned actual worth of each word
Aligned geometric
to amplify the message
A testament to the ancestors
Ain't big on your grand gestures
Empty promises littered across these Great Plains
Blood soaked remains nurtured fertile soil.
In numerous released from their mortal coil
In the name of progress
What we see are monsters
reflected and refracted
A metastasized cancer
What We lost is time wealth and answers
We see heroes in Panthers
Hold myself to a higher standard
Don't give a fuck if your gods are angered.
I Hold myself to a higher standard
I Don't give a fuck if your gods are angered!
Tick- tick muthafuka
Skin burnt and branded
A bandage barely hides the real damage
Used to my advantage
Y'all can't help but be average
The charges are static so I'll manage
Most default to panic
We born of concrete and granite
Survival is automatic
From my vantage? the tactics are classic
Mechanics to cause havoc
Impact of phrase lost to phase and dynamic
Chorus:
I Hold myself to a higher standard
I Don't give a fuck if your gods are angered!
I Hold myself to a higher standard
I Don't give a fuck if your gods are angered!
I Hold myself to a higher standard
I Don't give a fuck if your gods are angered!
