Fresh Linen - Baby Bullet Lyrics

Born of combustion and carbon
Equipped with defense mechanisms
And site
With no ability to see
Destined to be held in hands and arms
With love
Swaddled in privilege
Breastfed excuses
Oxytocin released when fed by parents
All a part of the formula for propaganda
Propped up, tucked away or on display for every bystander
Your first breaths signal someone else's lasts
Guns!
You
Are America's newborns
Gun
Wields more reproductive rights than woman
Quick to adopt a gun and abandon responsibility after triggered
The words from a gun's mouth
Divorce bullets who abort future parents and children
Foreign bodies
Inherit familiar projectiles
Gunshot residue
Be an arsenal fully loaded with tear drops
Left to water family trees
Now crooked
Our ordinance for ordnance means ordinarily
The roots to the problem get covered up with dirt
Soiled 2nd Amendment
Be a love letter
From our famous forefathers who
Fronted father figures for freedom
Turned a mob into a legion
His story now a daze
Fists no longer have the caliber
But the trunk got .22
Rifle
Ricochet
Revolver
Rounds of hollow tips
Over rounds of solid fists
We're raised around secondhand gun smoke
Fully Automatic Asthmatics
Inhaling hope
But who could afford to hold their breath
Schools
And places of worship
Are no longer gun free zones
Teachers
Expected to hit the mark in more than one way
The future looking like
Gun shop coupons instead of box tops
Shot gun slugs instead of apples on desktops
What's next
Birthday gifts turn into bulletproof backpacks
It's hard
To vote for change when registering to vote
Has more steps than buying a gun
Ballots written in firing pin ink
But whatever it takes to keep the rockets' red glare
Out of the eyes of the hateful
And mentally unstable
In the meantime, be careful
Any day your children can meet pistol
Grip
Them tightly while they're still warm
And pray this cold world
Never gives them a full
Metal jacket
Our screens show us news clips
Of who's clipped by magazine clips
Video go viral of somebody's son
Being lead poisoned
Time after time
Now the whole world going blind
Watching sun
E-clipse
You see, Gun
China
Might be yo mama
But America raised you

Gun
Equal good
Gun
Equal safe
Gun
Equal target
Gun
Equals intent
Gun
Equals impact
Gun
Equals problem
Gun equals solved
Gun equals blood
Gun equals contraction
Gun equals scream
Gun equals breathe
Gun equals hashtag
Gun equals squeeze
Gun equals protection
Gun equals or else
Gun equals fear
Gun equals control
Gun equals fear
Gun equals control
Who pulled the trigger
I don't know
We did
Don't You Get It
Gun Equal Freedom
Congratulations
It's a beautiful
Healthy
Weapon
Will that be cash
Or card
