Groundwork Lyrics by Saul Williams

MartyrLoserKing

2016

To the promised land... (x20)

React. Retreat. Subtract. Delete the beat
Until you're told. Don't breathe. Don't move. Don't don't
Holy. Roller. Wigwam. North Dakota
Barefoot. Brown dirt
Foot stomp. Hand clap. Groundwork

[A good few ?]

Martyr. Loser. Sinner. Beggar. Chooser
Chosen. Leader. Of the tribeless. Neither
Neither. Nor the only living son of Mr. Lonely
Toe spin on that money

New house. New school. New hospital. New. New
New church. New God. New race of the tribe of
Neither, neither, ruled by either either
Son of nonesuch, bewitched by the queen of
Anger. Self control. Tolerance. To and fro
Wisdom. Ecstasy. Memories of her history
Neither. Neither. Won't be either. Either
Nor the brown dirt
Foot stomp. Hand clap. Groundwork

Player, play hard
[Survivor, survive ?]
[Winner, win all?]
[?]

[Nature. Imagine the body a home ?]
I didn't know where to [?] at
Maps didn't [go ?]
[?] ... needs to destroy them
I saw thee face of fascists into my own home
The image that had been carefully built up in people's minds
Will destroy the image
