Maquiladoras Lyrics

Left no note, left in the silence
The crime faster than rabbits for the time, slow-mo
She spoke soft, hard truth, soul callous
Hands of time threw gang signs (Woo)
Her fraternities Freemasonry is gangbangin'
Red and blue laws, Bloods and Crips
Gave all I got, good as it gets
All I got in return was "What good is this?"
It still don't feel real, toast my cheers for a cigarette burner
Holdin' the film reel, the pill dissolve
No real resolve found
Some stay afloat, but in the end, we all drown
Halfway through the heist, saw his mom face before the stop
Now gunshots, ears pop
I piss white noise, dog whistle
Devil in the detail, death is God's riddle
No more can I kick it, kids kickin' candles at vigil
Brand new pistol and the AR
And even eighteen be colder than they are
Don't even know they gon' forget you when you gone
And won't hug your mother when she miss you, miss you, dog

Fanaa said self-amputation how all this was created
The irrational rationalizations of
The racists (Make America great again)
The amputee says accept it, there's no escapin'
Accept the prosthetics, they give ill-fitted limbs as gifts
And insist you can only live in the present
Fanaa dreamed of death every night in the desert
Woke in hospital bed, CIA handlers gently pressin'
Wishin' he died out there in the sand, bayoneted
He had the wrong answer to the right fuckin' question
Amputation how you survive
You can't get away if you don't leave somethin' behind
Trapped a house fly in an upside-
Down pint glass and waited for it to die
It's still alive, starin' out compound eyes
Nine fingers can still tie a tie
Keep extremities clear, the courthouse close at five (I warned you)
Some took it on the arm, caught in the trap
Some came of their own accord
A piece already cut, neatly wrapped in butcher paper
Had to cut 'em off, I ain't had no option
They the type to come back with the choppers choppin'
