We look to the city for guidance
We pray that we find it
We search the city for guidance
Gridlocked with those
Who would prey on our findings
We ask the city for guidance
It settles uneasily on the bones
Of our kindest
We know the city will guide us
We pray we don't settle for prey
When the answers find us
Cranes
Pandemic spawn like waypoints
Against Atlanta skylines
Lights Picasso pretty
Washing over people living on highways
In communities like we are still settlers taking what is not ours
People good GDP pretty
Washing over communities like pretty Picasso lights
If you look there
Where stem meets ground you can see it
Sunflowers sucking chlorophyll out of everything
Glowing light pollution gregarious
Rays of light
Pock marking sunflower petals
Searing ground
Breaking ground
Breaking down structure
Be crane, be crane like in that one cartoon
One legged rippler of pond ripping ecosystems apart
How is that food desert now oasis
What happened to cops, trash, culture, people
I mean look how safe this shit is
It's basically nigga free
No minorities
Poverty
We can finally enjoy rap music without unpleasantries
Look my rhyme scheme is already increasing by like 3
And they finally fixed the infrastructure like they said they would
Only took them further crushing it, raising rent
And
Oh look, look, look, look, look
There's that popular coffee chain placed 3 times in the same shopping district
Maybe all 50 feet from the other one
Their coming aren't they those, those
Daisy yellow caution signs
Orange road work, aren't you glad I didn't say mortgage signs
Detours
Suddenly occupying a fenced in expanse
Where my friends used to live
Where someone lived before the first Atlien
But all that lives here now is a dog
Tethered to ground
Gnawing on bones dogs before it buried
Ground made hallow
Hollow
No one bewares the dog though
Not when they make beware signs
The color of coming attractions
Not when beautification
Dresses up those it disfigures
As Canon fodder fortunates
They
Can't even really be seen anymore you know
Their becoming part ship, part crew
The skeleton one closeted away
In downtown, midtown
In front of your favorite place to be
Wow
Look at the movies, the millions, the music, all these m's
Poverty hasn't existed in Atlanta since Sherman
Since we burned it 2 the ground again, and again
And made home from burnt cinders
Since we made it great again
Ain't it grand
The food how much of it we throw away
Glitz and glamor flavored smog
Rushing through your body like the weed you probably came here for
And what the f*ck did you come here 4
Sight seeing the effects of gentrification maybe
You wanted to visit stone mountain
Walk around a preserved bit a nature
Can I ask you a favor
How many high-rises does it take
To get to the center of it all
How many centers of culture not yours can you make exclusionary
How can we all live on the same planet
And make people homeless
Name them homeless
The nooks of Atlanta have become open book
To prying eyes
And from scorched earth policy
Red Clay Skeletons
Turn over on bedrock
Bank head bounces
And a spaceship fly's overhead
Carrying the last of their Atliens from their destroyed world
Corey's building in farewell says
Be a nice person
And
Red clay Atlein skeletons
Laugh and turn over on bedrock
And
Laugh and turn over on bedrock
And
Laugh and turn over on bedrock
