The Thousand Headed Man - Armand Hammer, Andy Koufax, Willie Green

Original Man wave from Ghanaian sands

Human traffic jammed up like 80s crack wave hand-to-hands

When God asked after my brother… deadpan

Xeroxed your cover sold it two-for-six my part of the gutter along with Best of

Jadakiss

Cruel Summer

South African Embassy Danny Glover

You should know, your mother took a lover

Old Leopold, Congolese Beyonce Knowles laughing somewhere cold

Or in Dubai’s fake snow

Didn’t look up as he rolled, asked in Portuguese how much the hold hold

Laughed as the translation came in;

all systems go

White gold black gums white teeth Canal Street white heat bright Sudanese son

Hammer’n sickle in his blood so the Mosquitos don’t come

Milo in a tin cup, splash of west indian rum

Laser on a paper tray a cover smothers sheet and it’s gone

Copies in the office personal use like the weed in the jar

I’m a god I’m a wolf and a pig and a dog

It’s the weight of the world that made me strong

Black doo rag with the cape out at the Wu Mansion

Stranded

Hand stitched enchantment

I answer to my name

I got nothing to lose but these chains

Millyrock in the flame

Cash for gold, funny money at the jewelry exchange

Shit for brains I’m confused in this thang

Fuck u and ya mans

Stay true with my aim

He’s no killer

Their posse’s on broadway doing death drops

I would play collecting red tops

Shortcuts through open lots

South Jamaica cop killer Queens

No shirt slapboxing in the street

I am who I seek

Delusion draw the line between facts and belief

Mathematic supreme

For niggas who walk with a toothbrush keeping their white kicks clean

Team Elohim

Coke dreaming

Black powers for Black men I been reading

Caught a body east of Eden

Still breathing, keep squeezing

Dozed off in something sleek on the Major Deegan

Laser on a paper tray a cover smothers sheet and it’s gone

Copies in the office personal use like the weed in the jar

I’m a god I’m a wolf and a pig and a dog

It’s the weight of the world that made me strong

Con a game lose sight which way is the wrong

Turnaround still frames each head is a song

I’m a god I’m a wolf and a pig and a dog

It’s the weight of the world that made me strong
