A Symphony of Destruction erupts
When the abrupt proclamation promised
is the prophecy of police brutality
I amplified my appearance and caused jealousy
When I Realized I could victimize on a rhyme scheme.
Melt down scythes into triple beams
My style becomes an opiate derivative
Every time I see a thug acting massively sensitive
Everywhere I go I sense it.
On the contrary...
Or maybe it’s contemporary cause I feel it too...
Who says they can be me?
Cause apples don’t fall from my tree
Masquerading in illusion,
malevolent about male violence
Grotesque injustice festers
in a cave containing anguish
The situation is aggravation
when the allegation's and speculation
Of segregation through God's
eternal court of litigation
Leads to trepidation for all of creation!
My legions tire of the charade
so here’s our movement
Tear down the establishment and its media puppet
Run the gauntlet, worry not the stigma,
suffer the trauma. Battle the hydra;
drag it from the shoreline into the magma

The light burns, blinds and taunts me
Until the door opens from the turned key
In creeps the darkness that allows me to see...
I rise up;
I see my dirt stained knees.
The light did this to me,
but the shadows free me,
The light no longer binds me,
I eclipse the landscape,
I pilot the flagship
leading warships filled with conscripts
Right to the gates.
Educate god on the true meaning on purgatory
That’s the first story, the genesis
in the black book containing hymns of blasphemy

Excellent. It's rare when so many words can be read with such a steady rhythm. When I read it, Mos Def is the narrator. I like it.
