Brock Berrigan - CHAPTER ONE: A Brave New World lyrics

[Intro] A spider climbs down from the web on my door And he was sure to evolve into a beetle with wings A fly drifts in and he lands on my wall To hear the beautiful stories and the rhymes that I sing The humans [steps] in with their pesticides They say we saving your life I'm like, "What do you mean?" They sprayin' my home And then they k**ed all my family And they ran out of targets Now they aiming for me [Opening Monologue] I remember once upon sometimes We were silly kids and colored in, inside these lines For several years we heard these peaced out threats Of a new world and a world war that only left us left And next Uprisings, multiple protests They wanted peace and we wanted peace but whose blood got shed And those streets did bleed And the city fatigue And not an eye did sleep 'til there were few eyes left And they told us to put the guards down and put our hands up White flags wavin' Holdin' no fear, only Gods trust And the bombs did burst The broad stripes, early lighting stars did emerge And saw these red rockets glarin' talkin' back to my words I think I was screamin' "They rapin' my people here on the cement" The birth of a nation a lone marauder Had conquered all that he could with a single semen The victim's bleeding The Emperor stands over her exposed cleavage And steals the only clothing she had so he could cover his demons The city struggles to breathe Asphyxiated while the smoke was choking the trees The sun sets bail and she's painting the leaves The monochromatics of Fall She's amused, she's appalled The irony in it all See I don't often observe I'm drowning out these thoughts with t.v. ads overheard A couple thousand dollars college dreams could be yours A cup of this concoction and your cancers is cured Freedom rings are submerged The Privileged blind and defer The grey-suits who they pay To keep us Monsters under beds as they inherent these days Yet I was raised in the sun Now I'm closing my tab The rain taps on the gla** Reveals a smirk as it asks "Can Cooley come out and play? Can Cooley come out and play?" And I have no excuse for today
