1.	Still B Target (Poem) 02:19	lyrics	buy track
Out with the family for a morning drive and a brother lay dead with his hands to the sky..i..i The police and a badge and gun and lies and a brother lay dead with his hands to the sky..i..i the news said he should have just complied and a brother lay dead with his hands to the sky..i..i A funeral, a march uprising, riot and a brother lay dead with his hands to the sky..i..i They don't care if you were formerly an artist ask John Crawford you can shop at Wal-Mart and still be a Target. They'll give your mom a Hallmark it reads, Dearly departed we're gathered here today to get through this thing called life... They killed your prince, took your prints, neglected your kids but raised your rent, complemented your ignorance insulted your intelligence. You can go and tell, bro it's an inside job like Intel or COINTELPRO Next thing you know... it's love and hip hop with your standards real housewives with your manners and then when you go ape shit they think it's bananas. So smile, coon and sang for the dash and body cam the muzzle flash now you're a hashtag as your body Boomerangs on Instagram. If you want to survive that routine stop with the cops you can't even pantomime. When those cops get to whispering and discussing you can't touch nothing or else it's hammer time. And they ain't playing they ain't trying to Martin, Gina and Pam your time. So step into the light and start dancing Nigger, why? Because they went you to act like a Gigolo When you bump that Jigga high. When you bump the Yo Gotti, Lil Yachti, Lil Tunechi Them lil tunes be looney tunes, you'll see. They'll have you bugging, daffy, ducking, jiving, shucking, stuck like Elmer's when Porky the Pig beats you like it's Selma and screams get a rope then th, th, th, th, that's all folks. -Jon Goode

about

I've been recording poems, playing around with music scapes and writing short stories. For my birthday this year I decided to release a 3 track ep that included some of what I've been tinkering away on. Pay if you want to give the birthday boy a boon. Don't if you don't. It's all good either way. Here's to seeing another rotation around the sun.
