Pre and Post
It's post-industrial, pre-revoultuion America and safety is an allusion
It's preconceived notions of equality at the cost of humanity
It's sitting at home, sitting in your car, loving, living, breathing as a threat
It's hanging out, hanging around, hanging from trees
It's finding home in prison, projects, perpetual purgatory
It's post-racism, pre-justice america and you have to plan your last words
What's short enough to hashtag but strong enough to quote?
What's good enough to be a rap bar appropriating your life?
What if they #justiceforissac instead of #justiceforisaac?
Its post-"I Can't Breathe", pre-MLK Dream amerika and nothing's stronger than white fragility
It's fighting for liberation while praying for assimilation
It's forgetting home to find residence
It's killing you as fast as they kill the planet
It's post-melting pot, pre-internationalism amerikkka and billionaires are celebrities
It's right to life below right to profit
It's fearing and fetishizing
It's only living to 35
It's post-industrial, pre-revolution amerikkka and Gil Scott never said shit about Instagram
