Hideous, that's my description of a system
That awards humanoids solely based on their lineage,
Insidious - The methods employed by the system so vicious
Money for the banks, but not for the city kids

Unreal images of prettiness
My home girls gone smash it to itty bits
I pass them a hammer and a spliff full of sticky shit
The damage so glam, no question if they hit or miss

We're in a predicament
Gonna be a challenge to reverse the conditioning
A history of lies, yes I heard the equivalent
Now grown up, I learned to subvert the official script

But I'm one out of billions
& most of us acting like some god damn idiots
The rich and powerful always acting mad villanous
That lesson isn't one you're gonna find in the syllabus

[Chorus}
Hideous

Lanternicus, ya heard a this merciless personage
Disperse the superfluous with a burst of my verse eclipse
Your bright day now it's a slight gray, Type A
With a circle I play in the rain, write page after page,

Faster chapter crafter with a knack to cast a flame on the shade
Where y'all cats might graze on the cud of complacency,
I nudge you impatiently to come through and wake up please?
I won't ask twice

Speak softly, they can hear us, I got bugs in my skin
Unplugged from the thugs but I shrug & I grin,
Tug of war of the worlds, The rugged torrent unfurls
When I slung my not so subtle syllabic sword at your pearls

Fuck the nicest of amenities, our culture has a crisis of identity
I'm just getting ready for the fight that is ahead of me
& we don't really have much time to waste
