lirik lagu mthw - "old enough"
[intro – matthew]
it was raining broken gl-ss like it make you dab!
when the windows explode jetting jet black smoke that’s a moment of jet lag
it was american lines, all over the airwaves, and radio airtime
the first to respond
firefighters and cops in and out of the building just trying to get a response!
[bridge – (telephone fx) matthew]
the second tower’s losing power
the top floor is covered in dust, thicker than flour
we’ve been in the building much longer than for an hour
the room is burning up and the screaming is getting louder
running through the wire like running it through a router
breath i been running outta
time i been running outta
battery im running outta!
i don’t think i’m make it outta…
here! here!
[verse i – matthew]
like the bomb plot back in 93
i was pre-natal, /
my umbilical cord tv cable
through apartment walls
where they would feed cables
with the ring staples
it was y2k and a year later
and we were only pre-teenagers
the sky scr-pers at the trade centers
fell great lengths into faint embers…
but i remember that day in september
flight delays, and half days from our lessons
live replays of both planes on the airwaves-
downtown while the dust settled in the airspace
at a fair pace!
blocking entrance to the staircase!
no lines running in the subways!
running on foot in a rat race!

[hook – matthew]
(hook)
nine one-one, operator nine-one-one
my lifes, on the line, the connection is (breaking up,)
my phone has been occupied i’ve been trying to get in touch
tell my kids, send them love
they were not old enough
(i was nine,x4)
eleven
(i was nine, x3)
eleven
(– background –)
9-1-1, operator 9-1-1
my life, on the line, the connection is breaking up!
[verse ii – matthew]
word!
its imperative you don’t be un-american
we just act like we’re patriots, but it’s tarnished our heritage
this carnage we leverage, over the lands we descended in
it’s been 15 years since then we swore in two presidents!
but we ain’t seen dividends, we ain’t see any evidence
for those nuclear weapons homeland security evidenced!
yo we we’re dead against it!
no answers for our questions!
but we stabilized our presence and we escalated tensions!
with illegal detentions and laws that we’ve been stretching, that stench is of habeus of corpus being suspended
i plead the fifth, exercise the first, i’m no longer nine
now i’m old enough i see through different eyes!
