On Tour Lyrics by ManKind X The Deity Complex

Black History (1920-1970)

2017

[Intro: Ty Grizz]
Uh, so y’all ManKind, huh? Heard y’all was going to war. But don’t do that, don’t do that, man. I was in World War I. That was not pretty, not pretty at all. That’s a fool’s errand. That’s a fool’s errand right there
[Hook: ManKind]
Yo, I’m going
To war, I’m going to war, going through
The jazz, going through the blues. Some would say I’m going
On tour, going on tour
But the view is so beautiful when I’m flying over
The shores, over the shores, coasting over
The water, over the water, but I’m going
To war
[Verse 1: SciryL]
I held a rifle like a guitar, intercepted
Transmissions, horn finna pick off. Had to pour
Shots on rocks when they lick off, flamethrower
Hangover like I hit a brick wall. I’m going
Through the blues like Ella, flash like deadeye
All of that jazz like Fela, move
Like Jedi. May I talk about the whistle of
The bullets? The waves that’ll ripple when you pull it?
The sound of a missile hitting ground, getting down
In the trenches, hoping that it miss you. Your family
Gonna miss you. P.T.S.Deal with it when you in
A pickle. Mental feeling fickle. Right?
Uh. On tour, singing songs simple
Purple Heart symbol, “Purple Rain” Prince
On the cymbals, bloody fingerprints on that nickel-plated
Pistol, sizzle of the tissue when it hits you
On stage, instigating issue
[Hook: ManKind]
Yo, I’m going
To war, I’m going to war, going through
The jazz, going through the blues. Some would say I’m going
On tour, going on tour
But the view is so beautiful when I’m flying over
The shores, over the shores, coasting over
The water, over the water, but I’m going
To war
[Verse 2: !LLumiN@TE]
Yo, blood and glory, what a lovely story
Purple Heart, you gotta love it for me. Storytellers, Red
Tails, grandson of a griot boy that was read well
Yellow’s pissed in a bed pail, antiseptic
For the wound making your head swell. Nod to this
Eastern flank breached by communist, ominous clouds
Mushrooming, Pox Americana in a
Foxhole, rolling marijuana, Elephant
Tuskegee. Remember the time you pushed Hitler to the
End of his line? Couldn’t wait to get home and hear
The President deliver this line for ManKind?
(“Everything’s been changed”)
