Dawn's Early Light

have at it, the scraps, no matter, your move’s lateral
built on your backs’ then treat youse like filthy animals,
ritual killing, savages, urban cannibals
lethal lead levels, making your brain malleable
served with a stench, feasting on your own feces
demonic hellbent, reptilian species
caged generations, hunt and prey your offspring,
turn the light out, that moment when it go(es) bing
like the furor’s experiments, just, not only on the jews
media framework, fuels the fake news
fillers for nutrients, inferior schools
concerns for your benefit, truly just a rouse
the focus is their agenda, control, and to abuse
the power that they’ve taken, our children is who they use
forced separation, family bond breaking
cheap forms of labor, is what there’s high stakes in

Tamos

Estamos bien, pero vamos para mejor
logrado lo que no se compra, respeto y honor
con tiempo se realizado cuáles son de verdad
y lo que es mas importante, familia y comunidad
misericordia de Dios, y buena voluntad
buenas intenciones, bendiciones y piedad
por tó lo que hemos hecho que nos perdonara (ojalá)
solo la oportunidad, a corregir y mejorar
a la nueva generación poder le educar
abriendo le los ojos, con la fuerte realidad
arrepentimiento por tantos que han sufridos
bien agradecido por juicio que e aprendido
un mensaje pá los que hasen y los quienes tan cogido
los en camino de perdidos, especialmente a los chiquitos
cuales estan en mal hechos parece de competencia
pa’ que verán que no ay futuro en la vida de delincuencia
