Lyrics
Shouts out to U.S.V.I. (what up)
Full staffed,
Knee taken was
Drought tolerant
Flag spread,
Pole poking my bio-politick
Left my theory at that pipeline,
School was prison discourse
Niacin in vitamin
My breakfast choice
Each morning woke up
Spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered
Each morning woke up
Spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered
I spread eagle
For the governor’s water glasses
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered) [x3]
I spread eagle
For the governor’s water glasses
(water, water, water, water, water, water, water)
Spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered,
Each morning woke up,
Check for FEMA
Flood’s lines on the foyer,
X on the principal, door
Directed deposit,
Material benefit liminal
For four score and ye olde yore
Posted no bills,
Meddlesome weeks’ deals,
Futures on meals
On wheels
Local produce, a metaphor for irony still,
‘cause we were shipped in
To front the bill
I spread eagle
For the governor’s water glasses
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered) [x3]
I spread eagle
For the governor’s water glasses
(water, water, water, water, water, water, water)
I said my brother was a rolling stone,
I was a Standing Rock,
Everyday pops came home
And popped that Rolling Rock
He Marshall Planned his Glock,
Cleaned it with his TV dinner,
Only Black cop to join the blocking line
That electoral winter
Facing down the First Nation, all seconds,
Safeties ready to empty the chambers,
Aquifers languid and tepid
Shrugs at state-sanctioned danger:
Tears protest gas,
ICE, yeah, money anger
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered)
Shouts out to that young god Chaac
That made them clouds pop,
Condensed our percentage into droplets
To fall on our flock,
Cut out the beating heart and
Laid it in the pyramid top
Yeah, do that to lawmakers
So we can reap crops,
Harvest redlined agribusiness,
On subsidized blocks, hot
Swiping cards for a single use plastic,
Acronyms fail to mention
Yo, this water ain’t elastic
I spread eagle
For the governor’s water glasses
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered) [x3]
I spread eagle
For the governor’s water glasses
(water, water, water, water, water, water, water)
I was lead to the content of these pipes
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered)
I was lead to the content of these pipes
(spread eagle)
I was lead to the content of these pipes
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered)
I was lead to the content of these pipes
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered)
I was lead to the content of these pipes
Environment, our own terror site
I was lead to the content of these pipes
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered)
I was lead to the content of these pipes,
Became a victim to my own rights
By their own right
