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
