mankind x the deity complex - the negro leagues lyrics

mankind x the deity complex – “the negro leagues”
[emcee(s): sciryl and !llumin@te]
[producer(s): the deity complex]

[verse 1: sciryl]
she said, “young brother
speak your peace.” huh, alright
alright, that’s what we gon’ be? i said to her, “momma
we gon’ see.” huh, huddle up, hands
in, “team” on “three,” tell ‘em, “we want free!
battle us and it’s gon’ be ‘batter’s up,’ boy”
this the negro leagues, no pitinos or
paternos in the tunnel order of brothers
tan skin from living in infernos, infernal racket
racketeering, arthur ashes, black
pioneering, die a theory, rise a spirit
spirit bomb—hear it? wiretaps
for the prying ears. get your property commandeered
yeah, yeah, try and steal a red cent from uncle sam
they’re coming with forces you wouldn’t understand. government
for profit—uh, y’all ain’t hear it from me
i’m just evolving, not what i’m appearing to be
shapeshifting in a makeshift sp-ceship with my face
missing, and sipping from an h.g. well
the invisible man tryna duck the invisible
hand, tired of dealing with the rigamarole
and the fist of the man. bought the heater ‘cause i’m sick of
the cold, and this sh-t’s in my hand. left fist in the air
get a grip, get a grip of this licking and
scram, honkey hoping that the pistol’ll jam. huh!
negro, please, speak easy, be low-
-key. it’s the negro league, boy!

[verse 2: !llumin@te]
uh, league leaders categorically denied
at home plate, rounding third base with the slide
head-first. know you gotta think before you dive
the current runs deeper than the tide, color guard
whitewashed, get the bleach up out your eyes
the color of the sea is in the skies. we’re under
the blue heaven, true brethren trying not to lose
leverage every two seconds. two-stepping in a
batter’s box. this is way before b-boy
stance, squared up like we gon’ dance
do the hustle through the rubble. want to change the hand
you duck, you gotta do the shuffle and cut the deck
heh, negro, please, speak easy, be low-
-key. it’s the negro leagues. mankind
