The Outcome Lyrics

    [Jessica Care Moore]
    Global warming between my legs, screams against the waves
    Gave birth to thirteen daughters, so now we never run out of water
    My skin layered in diamonds and sage
    Left alone and confused, forces enslaved by days
    Time keeps on whorin us
    Ghetto saviors can't keep ignorin us
    Flowers and flames, flutes from her fingers
    Rifles pointed from her sac
    or was it simply a bag of sticks and stones
    Either way, she wore a compass on her head
    Rains don't stop the grass from turnin red
    Her hair was half perm, half dread
    We gave up walking in a past-life and so we dance
    Arms wrapped around my breath and choked me back to life
    A new world wife, reflecting the sun and rolling dice
    Symbol of the drama yet to come - too late to run
    Time travelling was late
    Watching was a blind man's mistake
    All his assets melted right in front of his face
    His right leg drabbed with demon paste
    Shoes stayed angel laced
    Never count your blessings with haste
    Even a prophet can catch a case
    Didn't realize how sweet the future might taste
    Telepathically cutting through mental gates
    Words were weapons against their hate
    Shepherds search for stars in her hair
    Her chest grew fermented like yeast
    She broke her body like aged bread
    He gave her truth from all the books he'd read
    She wrote her poems inside the mud
    Sacrificed her cervix to fix the future
    Named their boys and spit truth inside his mouth
    Read warm prophet, writing twisted scriptures inside her belly
    Resurrected from bones and dirt
    She made hard niggaz smile
    Left her seeds inside the Earth
    Gave hustlers and killers life's worth
    This is the life we chose, remember who was here first
    Find a reason why you curse
    Gold rushed tongues by dreams too loose
    Sporting electronic nooses
    Hoeing humanity love-ticks over lust
    Despite the damage to destiny you can't take the best of me
    In God We Still Trust
