lyrics

naked and nameless the truth
disabusing the naive and neutral
nigh this uniquely unnatural
navel gazing unstable raving
nevermore Nagasaki
nuclear as the family
nonstop these notoriously big
novel invisible men
their nooks and hovels as
up the nostrils these narcotics
navigating inwardly nostos
of the navy spitting N words
into the sea
the nomenclature under N
replete with nigger words,
nonconformistical neologistic words.
here came the KKK
painting over these paintings
in the cave, that matrix
named in Plato's debate
these shadows these demons at play
as their delusions and the reason of day
lock horns, parsing the world's verse
from Mars's surface, these white hoods
were once darker, diverser,
this white congregation chanting
rap faster white pastor and act blacker
supplant the black rappers
and transport their asses back
to Madagascar. those understood
as dark matter and energy
his Satanic majesty let it bleed.
this lactose intolerant pescatarian
this black soul admonishing those aryans
this man woke as God hip to Berryman's
application of blackface to his fair skin.
a little rock of crack in his pipe
a little later fainting this passionate Christ.
the newspapers painting it black and white,
microphonic, riding along this Whyte Ave on his bike.
reading Black Skin, White Masks tonight
dealing crack to his kin and white trash alike
his raps provoked by Frantz Fanon delight
as the grass his smokes, a William Gaddis on the mic.
he's a metaphor for our excess our habits our hubris
precious as the metal ores and plastic in our computers.
he's a man banned from reddit as the idiot.
bananas his saga this epic as the Aeneid
though Virgil's pals with Caesar Augustus
dig these media deconstructed
this news this Al Jazeera discussing his
state approved art
correctly putting the horse before the cart
and stepping in unison these nazis
these hippies hallucinating oddities
illicitly lucidly dreaming illogically.

(every word contributes to a picture of reality
the rapper distributes, redistributes the reality
into surreality, using the language incorrectly
correctly disseminating revenge
on the manufacturers of consent, the Bill Cosbys,
manufacturers of consent, the disc jockeys
who never play the best rap of today,
that Lil Ghostwriter we so need.)
