Counting stacks
Counting stacks
Only in my dreams
now
Pockets were feeling
fat
Now Im feeling senial
Counting stacks
Only in my dreams
now
Remember back on
Pennywell we had
the shop open
Young as fuck
We businessmen
Apartment life
Chopping grams
See the cops, we take
a differnet door
Magician shit, turn
two bags into four
BARMECIDE
BARMECIDE
CITY LIFE IS BARMECIDE
Sitting back
im counting stacks
Selling art
just a simple man
everything I want in life
is just so damn expensive
So im headed to the top
With or without a bong hit
While the yuppies sing and dance
Gentrified, yah gentrified
Victimized to the point the birds wont fly
Skyscrapers erupting from the land we planted
6ix gods aint listening but they love the working man
Whats your fit? Starving artist? Nah, youre just a hypebeast, bitch
Never in the street, just retweet, suckling on Kanyes teet
Mooching off the culture and everyone that counters
High off endorphins you slice through the skeleton
Grinnning as you climb on in
Your new home composed of human skin
Feeling like youre on the wave, really youre just paddiling
Thinking your original when your lifes been available
Sitting high up on the shelf waiting for a rental

CITY LIFE IS BARMECIDE
Simple
Humanity as a whole used to value beauty. From its celebrities to its architecture; composition and curves meant everything. Rather than black
and tough, humans valued ivory and soft.
To think that those who have a problem with authority would rather
watch the world burn while corporations, politicians and priests disfigure beauty via greed is laughable. Too many trees have been ripped from
their roots and had concrete poured down into their veins. Humanity
wouldnt have become such a formidable foe if it stopped killing what it
loved
When Hiro was a kid they told him that doodling was a waste of time
and he was going to rot his brain with all the chemicals hes ingested.
Yet he could never forget his lessons about feudal japan and its armies
of samurais. Nor would he forget the tale about a man who was sitting
alone in his house reading a book. His living room was illuminated by
an eerie green and red glow projected from a cheap night light. Armed
officers burst into his home and proceed to ransack the place. The Police
Chief confidently walks in and proceeds to drill the man on what he was
reading while he smacks the book out of his hands. Two officers then
yank him out of his chair and drag the man out of his house while the
police chief bends over and picks up the book the man had dropped.
The officer slowly brings the book up to his face and says
God didnt create books so people would get stupid ideas in their head.
Snapping back to reality, Hiro begins to mumble to himself as he shoves
his gear into a backpack Im going crazy. I dont have a home anymore
because I chose to get an art degree.
He leaves the moldy alleyway and throws his hood up, making sure not
to be seen.
He spots an old fire escape and climbs up. When he reaches the roof
he pulls himself up and over, un-slings his backpack and pulls out his
signature spray cans.
3 years. 3 whole years and all that HOPE bullshit that Hollywood
shoved down our throats is starting to taste sour.
Hiro found it poetic how here- on his personal heaven, where he felt
most at ease, he had become shackled.
The officer poked Hiro in his chest with a finger so fat, it resembled a
sausage wrapped in dough- a pig in a blanket.
This art thing, its about emotion right? We-ell Im feelin a lil creative,
ahn I got an idea
The Officers lackeys spin Hiro around and the wall he was about to
deface stared him in the face.
If you wanna be in the books. I can make sure that your story gets written in ink!
The officer spat through the gap of his crooked yellow teeth and let out
a smug grin as he gestures to his squadron. His finger slowly drug along
his neck. A fat lil piggy wrapped so snuggly, traveling across a pimply
field covered in greasy hair. Signifying that the emperor has decided its
time for blood.
In the name of our eternal rulers: Syncrude, Goldman n Sachs and the
glorious Ol Monsanto. I hereby proclaim that God has smiled down
upon us, his glorious children! For today we smite a vessel of Satan
Damned be his audacity to believe that he has the right to freedom of
expression. Freedom is a right, not a privilege!
The chief takes a moment to let out a whole hearted SOOOOO-WEEE
Our wonderful leaders have made me judge-ah, jury-ah and-ah execution-ah. Bwoy, you walked into the wrong courtroom! How do you
plead?!?
Before Hiro could muster up an answer, hot steel pierced his flesh. As he
felt his spine being torn to shreds, blood shot out. The blood hit the wall
and left what resembeled a smiley face.
Even in death Hiro was creating.
fin.
thank you
