Hi guys.
My brain recently went on a bender and I wrote an essay which was an intense and rewarding undertaking. It’s a PDF and you can get it here: THE OPAL EMBARGO
Hope you like it!
Just remembered this, Ultimate used to play it all the time, I love it!
Our networks won’t save us
Our net worth won’t make us
We claim street cred has paved us
And that dark forces enslave us
We cut off oxygen to our own mothers kind
Our words are our fortune
Unfortunately, unkind
Play as we might, we can’t get a rewind
We pray daily that one day we’ll make up our mind
We share micro wisdom
Cos that’s all that we’ve got
Use it to lament what we consider ‘our lot’
Use it to build myths about a man that we’re not
Use it for a status that sets psyche to rot
Our lash-outs are crib-like
Is it transparent and weak?
Mob-mentality secures superficial defeats
Your vocab and collabs get your word on the street
Once it’s out, it’s our own heart
You’ll suggest that we eat.
Do you like being mean
Or do you like being sweet
