Take It All Away

from Ill I: Laughing With Lizards by Dan Fishback

lyrics

I’M STILL ALIVE BUT IT’S NOT EASY
WHEN MY BROKEN BODY WANTS TO SING
I LEARNED TO CLEAN MY HOLE A LITTLE TOO LATE
NOW I’M LATE FOR EVERYTHING
I NEVER LEFT
I’M THERE RIGHT NOW
WHERE THE NEON GREEN HAT THEY TORE TO PIECES
WAS THE ONLY EVIDENCE THEY BEAT ME AT RECESS
TAKE IT ALL AWAY

I’M STILL ALIVE BUT IT’S LESS EASY WHEN MY BLOODLINES COME TO LIGHT
BUT IF I SHAVED MY CHEST OF BLACKENED CURLS
ALL YOU’D SEE IS WHITE
WE BOUGHT THE BEST
BUT WE HAD TO PAY
WE TOOK A NEW NAME IN AMERICA, BUT AMERICA COULD ALWAYS
TAKE IT ALL AWAY

DON’T IT ALWAYS SEEM TO GO
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TILL YOU’RE GONE
BUT GONE IS A MYTH
IT’S A FANTASY
NOTHING GOES
IT JUST FLOWS AND FLOWS AND FLOWS

I’M STILL ALIVE BUT THEY DON’T LIKE THAT
UNMASKED AND UNAFRAID
THEY GOT ALL THE WEAPONS
WHO’S GONNA TELL’EM THAT THEY WON’T GET PAID?
I ONCE TOOK HOME A CONFEDERATE’S GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDSON
HE WAS AFRAID OF HIS OWN CUM
ALL THESE STATUES STANDING LIKE THEY WON
TAKE THEM ALL AWAY
