[Verse 1]
They love they skins
Negroes and white men
Agree he can jump out the gym
Out on a limb if you assuming we're friends
Assume nothing, be better off in the end
Buried where the Potomac bend
Harpers Ferry tides blood rimmed
Fight for Old DC, write tight eulogy
Houses underwater in PG and what rough beast
Slouches towards Northeast to be born
The Quickening
From podiums, madmen heap scorn, wild-eyed bickering
The best lack all conviction
The worst claim: "it was written"
Judge said, “nigga, listen”
Then it was off to debtor’s prison
Still caught the game, dayroom television
Blood feud, crude weapon, water drawn, wood hewed
No new news, sky bruised, sour amuse bouche
Dour delta blues, blunt-stained tooth
[Chorus]
Sold it 'till it sold out
Sold the house
Soul long since sold
So it's no doubt
Sold it 'till it sold out
Sold the house
Soul long since sold
So it's no doubt
Sold it 'till it sold out
Sold the house
Soul long since sold
So it's no doubt
Sold it 'till it sold out
Sold the house
Soul long since sold
So it's no doubt
They love they skins
Negroes and white men
Agree he can jump out the gym
Out on a limb if you assuming we're friends
Assume nothing, be better off in the end
Buried where the Potomac bend
Harpers Ferry tides blood rimmed
Fight for Old DC, write tight eulogy
Houses underwater in PG and what rough beast
Slouches towards Northeast to be born
The Quickening
From podiums, madmen heap scorn, wild-eyed bickering
The best lack all conviction
The worst claim: "it was written"
Judge said, “nigga, listen”
Then it was off to debtor’s prison
Still caught the game, dayroom television
Blood feud, crude weapon, water drawn, wood hewed
No new news, sky bruised, sour amuse bouche
Dour delta blues, blunt-stained tooth
[Chorus]
Sold it 'till it sold out
Sold the house
Soul long since sold
So it's no doubt
Sold it 'till it sold out
Sold the house
Soul long since sold
So it's no doubt
Sold it 'till it sold out
Sold the house
Soul long since sold
So it's no doubt
Sold it 'till it sold out
Sold the house
Soul long since sold
So it's no doubt
