Have you ever prayer with a letter to an illiterate god? Pistol packed but can’t afford bullets, Our fridges are starving, insufficient funds rises our insulin. Ready to sail to our green pastures But our ****** drowned in pirates’ palms, Those who see man suffering hate their semen’s victory, Our talent mummified because we can’t afford to live out our dreams. We are rejects of the system, deviants to the society Every year our resolutions are the same Yet we been writing them for decades Born with no silver-spoon but promised street of gold So I turned to the God: “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?”

No dart in my quiver
Have you ever prayer with a letter to an illiterate god? Pistol packed but can’t afford bullets, Our fridges are starving, insufficient funds rises our insulin. Ready to sail to our green pastures But our ****** drowned in pirates’ palms, Those who see man suffering hate their semen’s victory, Our talent mummified because we can’t afford to live out our dreams. We are rejects of the system, deviants to the society Every year our resolutions are the same Yet we been writing them for decades Born with no silver-spoon but promised street of gold So I turned to the God: “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?”
