The Radical Act of 

Having Each Other’s Back

From a strip of concrete 

where the grass and

the trees and the streets meet

Forced upon by dark forces 

hoping nobody notices

Twin cities metro 

the hardest level 

frozen and focused 

food, clothing, shelter 

weather that will kill 

so we stuck together

The radical act of 

having each other’s back

Even with a mask and vest 

cowards masked as death 

at address and if you

let them take your neighbor, 

they are here for you next

Minneapolis 

Marked and targeted 

Firestarters left Molotovs

at the panopticon for us

Lake street target

The radical act of 

having each other’s back

Wild style to the beat

of big satans great defeat. 

But this is the first

Of many endings

The location where we meet

Under attack because 

we picked the smoke up

and threw it back

The radical act of 

having each other’s back

Whistles and shovels versus 

The Federal Government

No home to go back 

we build another

Fed whistles and fetty

test strips narcan nexus

seven hours from anywhere

we’re on our own out here

and out of cold air the 

future grows from us here

The radical act of 

having each other’s back
