Type caste system arch villain chillin’ like Ivan

The terrible chemical weapon describin’

The end of the world vibin’ lionized Mayan

Still skyin’ as high as a Lucy blood diamond

Fine dinin’ and winin’ with sabhines and sirens

Declinin’ these Roman Republican tyrants

A stubborn jackass beast of burden survivin’

Like ghosts of the guillotine dreamer revivin’

Enlightenment vivid with livid land minin’

Kaboomin’ the gloom when I see these kids dyin’

Just tryin’ to weather this Stormy norm climate

A violent sea risin’ and still you deny it

The science, in favor of implicit bias

Your nation-hate patriot swastika riot

Your ravenous consumer media diet

Your guns and your slaves, all your property private

Your for-prophet poverty trap spreading virus

Your silence of lambs in the face of Goliath

My sting with that sling got’chu feelin’ defiant
