mayor with a gun
mayor with a gun
dancing in front of me are the ghosts of past revolutionaries
we’re heading toward a youth root movement generation
a youth root movement generation
dancing in front of me are the ghosts of past
revolutionaries
mayor with a gun
mayor with a gun
a mayor with a gun is voted out of office
toting a plastic tech toy nine
screaming no more christmas sales! no more Christmas sales!
while another mayor gloats in
holding a heavy metal hand gun screaming
training training training!
it’s a criminal thing not a color thing
criminal thing not a color thing
yet young black gun deaths pop off like
cash registers ding
bottle rockets zing
firecrackers fling
the fix the fizz of short lived lives
babies thrown from vehicles on bridges of despair
babies thrown from bridges on vehicles of despair
earth nature doesn’t care
thunderstorms erupt like me
tornadoes twist like me
floods combust like me
bombs blow up buildings like me
singing singing
dancing in front of me are the ghosts of past
revolutionaries
we’re headed toward a youth root movement generation
a fruit of the youth root groovement generation
mayor with a gun
mayor with a gun
a white suburban joyride ends
a friend flies through the car window
dies in the gully below
I bellow
go to my shotgun
my agony is deep blasts
two rounds into the sky
lead falls and flies
and then I turn the gun to face myself
I turn the gun to face myself
and my white american mind
is a suicide in denial
it’s a brown baby’s death
a suburban joyride
a mayor with a gun
mayor with a gun
mayor with a gun
