IAyesha Jaco has to do a full length spoken word project. I find myself listening to the intro on repeat. She went off!!!!
Drill music, pop that pill music
Kill music
Desecrating the temples and the ghetto
Funeral processions increase their frequency
Because we can’t break the spell of Geppetto
No one knows
And scrolls of obituaries contain more words than dictionaries
That will define how lions in Zion became alley cats
Who traded their baseball bats for gats that spat
Blood of the people across steeples and concrete jungles that turn playgrounds into graveyards
That buried generations of black and brown men who left their post because they were misguided by ghosts in the land of the living
Ready, aim, fire
Wanna be the block but can’t buy the block
Bulldozin’ the block, makin’ the Red Sea choke on bones
Of drones sent by PPP loans to see how you spent the money
Born to Basimah and the hands of the lion who said “Store your water in the basement because one day, it would be scarce and polluted”
He said “One day, grocery stores will be bearing”
“Learn how to grow your own food and don’t get caught staring down the barrel of a gun”
“Learn how to run underground drills in Zion”
To be reborn lets you be scorn by the ways of the wicked who pillage our communities and natural resources for profit
He said “My children, each of you are prophets”
Don’t let money be the sum of your deeds
Pull the weed from your mind
Look to the front, the side and behind
You each have blades that will drill a new earth
Manifest the new world that Columbus thought he found
Band together to reverse the weather to unite the seeds of the oppressed
Stand together and work righteously to be blessed
For generations to come
Drill down, Zion is in you

Yeah I think this one is the best one. I love the Cool too. When she said “but the problem is we think it’s cool too!” I felt that
This shyt is like the first time you have Arbys. It gets better every time you get a 2 for 6
I mess with it. I'm enjoying it. On Faux Nem probably my favorite track right now.
Hell nah breh. Arby's. I do fukk with their fries. The gyros ain't too bad.

I ain’t even talking lyrically but the flow, rhyme, lush production is the Lupe hip hop purists cried for since 2006
But yeah the general theme of the song traces back to a theme present throughout the album, the powers that be using the young talented children of Zion as transactions.
Making profit out of potential prophets, and and placing value on the invaluable. You can either join their religion or drill your own hole. He loosely raps this of course
