Ghouls

One drop
One rock
So much more than
That view from the air
Shooting marbles across the street
Dirt on my face
Dirt on my bare feet
The Caribbean sun already
Throwing heated punches at Chances Peak
Played for fun
Playing for takes
Already behind and looking to get ahead
The word on ZJB
Kid your father's dead

What's in an Arawak?
Once upon a slave
Didn't take the bastards long
To desecrate his grave
The crows and the bees
The pawns and the thieves
A rat tunneling under sulphuric leaves
I want that green piece of trash
And it's sandy pancake-flat neighbor
The entire goddamn area
Permanently entombed in unholy water
