| I wanna show them all that we can’t be touched | that we too outta hand and we move too much | and we can take all that pressure cause we don’t want nothing at all | except for maybe some more of us | down here tucked tight | just as ready to pound as we are to fight | and we don’t want none of that | we ain’t even lookin at y’all | naw, I’m looking through dirty lenses, | but so happy to be alive | that death thinks I would ruin the vibe | I’m not invited | I’m not crying | callin out crimes | actin in kind | not blindly | just lookin for alignment | we what’s under the bed | the last threads | unrest in the flesh | and restless | can’t choose to stop us | we some bad news maracas | (thinkin) | what’s a law but a leash | can’t lock | got tools to pop those reckless | and just outta your reach | happy underneath | mock fools and rock shows | check list | treat em how they treat | goonish with a newer set of rules and a sharper set of teeth | I’m a lion with the eyes on the meat | try defying any/all | highly motivated y’all | you can hear it in the speech | aight, motherfucker see I was born like this | pissed with a twist | raised in the Midwest | where they hate with a grin | came of age thicker skinned | no contest | bigger smile on my fuck off | didn’t get in to win | cause I don’t respect the game | I got up with all my friends | and picked a repellent name | I constantly recommend a little bit of disdain | a little bit of resistance | theycanhang|Iwasanewjack|tryingtodecidewhereIfit|Igotbusy|Idestroythe walls how I live | yeah, and they ain’t got the balls or the ovaries | to get a fucking grip | so content to let it slip | hell bent | none held in | their story full of holes | some of y’all fell in | how could I possibly offer up anything except dissent? | get on the fucking bus | I’m tryna show them all that we can’t be touched | we too outta hand and we move too much | and we can take all that pressure cause we don’t want nothing at all | except for maybe some more of us | all here tucked tight | just as ready to pound as we are to fight | and we don’t want none of that | and we ain’t even lookin at y’all | there’s a lot of fucking pressure | ain’t no particular road | ain’t no particular mission | only impossible goals | only defy definition | they only temperatures cold | prolly cause they only listen | to everything that they told | we critical kicking | thermometers hot | we don’t stay down | we keep watch | we risk getting caught | better at running | ready or not | it’s all playground | it don’t stop | we risk getting caught | better at running | ready or not | we trying to show them all that we can’t be touched | we too outta hand and we move too much | and we can take all the pressure cause we don’t want nothing at all | except for maybe some more of us | so where you at? | mixed in lock-picks | knives, bricks and bats | and we can take all the pressure | and we ain’t even lookin at y’all | |

hey. you guys are compiling information so i thought i'd add what i knew. "A cenote is a pool of land water surrounded by rock, basically. The swimming in this cenote that "the heavens made with black fire" is compared to a dream, so maybe he's saying he isn't sure the heavens are really there, like Heaven is only somewhere you can believe in in dreams. I'm not sure." In addition to a cenote being a deep whole surrounded by rocks, they were used in ancient times as sort of holes to hell/heaven. Sacrifices of plants/animals and even humans were often thrown into the cenotes as religious rituals. While this might be completely unrelated to Rastafarian culture which is a strong theme on this album, cenotes of south and central america were commonly used for this purpose. and knowing conor, he probably knew about the human sacrifices related to them. i'll leave the rest of the extrapolation to you. |

"I'm taking some comfort in knowing the wave has crested Knowing I don’t have to be an exception" Slight lyric correction. Also, i think this is a really important line in the song. He might be saying that he feels better that his generation wasn't the one responsible for the haphazard 20th century. Or he might be saying he feels better knowing that more and more people are starting to adopt a more modern view point and starting to see that things need to change. Or i might be way off. Either way i get a lot from this lyric. |

first of all. after like 5 years of comments, lets straighten out the first verse.... (i capitalized the corrections) It was Don Delillo, whiskey, NEAT And a blinking midnight clock Speakers on a tv stand Just a turntable to watch ONLY smoke came out our mouths On all those hooded sweatshirt walks We were a stroke of luck We were a goldmine and they gutted us first one is huge, 2nd one less so, but they both are verified. |
