I so wish I could make out the lyrics... that would be the one-and-only reason I've never properly dwelled into it. Any clue where to find that?

the acappella version you performed at Long Beach's Federal Bar was just as siiiiick as this version

Really digging this, reminds me of earlier albums, in the best way

IMMA CANDLE! IMMA CANDLE! CHOP MY NECK A MILLION TIMES- I STILL BURN BRIGHT AND STAND YO!!

The first single from Saul Williams' upcoming album
MARTYR LOSER KING
Coming 2016

LYRICS:
Running down a dark street. App that got a flashlight. 
Nike swoosh on bare feet. Whitney Houston's crack pipe. 
The Greatest Love Of All. Watch me rise to watch me fall. 
Contemplating. Rent is late in houses that I can't afford.

Showed my papes at heaven's gates they asked me for my Visa. 
Lived a life without no hate so tell me what you need, Sir? 
Question your authority. Genocide and poverty. 
Treaties don't negate the fact you're dealing stolen property.

Hacker. I'm a hacker. I'm a hacker in your hard-drive. 
Hundred-thousand dollar Tesla ripping thru your hard-drive. 
Oh Jesus, pull the chord. Seat-belts, what you standing for? 
Buckle up. Let's knuckle up. And tell Mohammed bring his sword.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Vigil in the middle of your occupied locations 
One that burns for haters; one that burns for Haitians.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Burning in the middle of your mosques and in your chapel.
Licking that forbidden fruit through bitten glowing apples.

Factories in China. Coltan from the Congo. 
Smuggled to Burundi. Hidden in a bongo. 
We beat a mighty drum. Changes go before they come. 
Guns and ammunition pay tuition for the desperate young.

Hacker. I'm a hacker. I'm a hacker in your hard-drive. 
Hate ain't no security. I'm hacking thru your hard-drive. 
Information Highway. Tunnel-vision Highway. Exit 17 
Yo bring them mthrfckrs my way!

Virus. I'm a virus. I'm a virus in your system. 
Fuck your history teacher, bitch. I've never been a victim. 
I'm just a witness. Hitler can come get this. 
Rabbis in Ramallah throwin' burqas on these bitches.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Vigil in the middle of your occupied location: 
one that burns for haters; one that burns for Haitians.

Swoosh!
I'm a candle.
I'm a candle.
Chop my neck a million times 
I still burn bright and stand, yo.

Burning in the middle of your synagogues and chapels.
Licking that forbidden fruit through bitten glowing apples.
