Thursday - Youngblood Brass Band

Blow out the candles.

Tonight I don’t want any light wasted

Film Americana fills my mouth but even light doesn’t taste good

That’s why MC’s spit out

Faced with compensating complacence we turn away to rinse with act still this

selfish plague lingers

Like twelve years of drum disease

Mix black, white, New Orleans, New York and gargle twice daily, drops of art’s

saline

Everything’s gone blurry

What we saw clearly in the womb most won’t know at thirty

It’s a Thursday and I sit at home worried of soul hygiene

Like nat used all the training Visine

Defining literally what to be a mic fiend

We smoke away our pipe dreams

Yellow teeth decay and fallout, we stay all out, and always, all out,

wondering what hell this hole crawled out

And touch the sky’s mouth with this thing these songs house

We till the earth with dark clouds 'till the earth’s scars heal

We resurrect the stars dile

Pierce the night with large howls

We peace white walls with shit like revolution right now

Square off with sons of darkness in night rounds

We circle daughters of light wearing bright crowns

I’m like, bound to free death

Might drown in these breaths

Mics crowd and need rest

I frown and detest white power and regress to beat laid down for these heads

And this mic ain’t going now where

Till I bush my teeth where justice leaks and trust my beats to put me down for

another night

Blow out the candles, and get some rest
