the breath
a blind lot
a loot lock
looking
sick, frisk

Johnny
time freezes
a black

beatin'
a bruise
already bruisin'
brown
loot's
no good
brown loot
and brown looks
no good
sufferin' pale
genocide
instead of livin'
n
breathin
makes sense to some
not me
'stead of thrivin
'stead of lovin
got no love
no brown looks
no cock
no warm embrace
prickly momma
trickle prickle womb
prickle hearth
of mouth
and toes
t or s
eething teeming

pale genocide for brown love
pale
genocide
for
brown
love
pale // genocide
