Key Lyrics

Visions of Martin Luther staring at me

If I seen it how he seen it that would make my parents happy

Sorry momma I can't turn the other cheek

They wanna knock me off the edge like a fucking widows peak, ugh

And she always told me pray for the weak, ugh

Them demons got me, I ain't prayed in some weeks, ugh

Dear Lord, come save me, the Devils working hard

He probably clocking double shifts on all of his jobs

Frightening, so fucking frightening

Enough to drive a man insane

I need a license to kill

I'm standing on a field full of landmines

Doing the moonwalk hoping I blow up in time

'Cause 2012 might not be a fucking legend

Try and be a fucking legend

The man of mankind

Who said a black man in the Illuminati

Last time I checked, that was the biggest racist party

So get up off that slave ship

Build your own pyramids, write your own hieroglyphs

Interpretation
