Building Resilient Organizations: Toward Joy and Durable Power in a Time of Crisis

[Verse I: Scrim]
Rolling with them animals like Noah’s ark
Bitch I got the blade like I’m Joan of arc
Crazy with the chop when I’m off a bar
Spraying in the air hollering kill em all
Slick baby off of that shit
Devil from outta that pit
Levels to this I been sick
Fuck it up up in the pit
Yea uh I been popping pills and sipping drop
I spent 20 years up on that block
Beating on my chest I feel like Kong
Lemme talk my shit it’s been too long
Plugged in like a socket
Up in space like a rocket
Glock tucked in my pocket
Choppa here it got bodies
Bought that bitch a new body
Crib came with a lobby
Rappers know I’m they papi
Sipping drank and rolling slow my bitch powder her nose
Haters mad and want me sad but my net worth said no
Mad cuz they still broke
Mad I kicked that dope
Ten toes germ my folk
It’s your time gang go go go go

[Verse II: Germ]
First off im that nigga
step in take my picture
greyfivenine the army
Walking deadman bitch this thriller
I been ducked and duckin
puffin onions
bitches stank ain’t munchin’ nothing
I been around still can’t call it for nothin
these niggas still bluffin and these zooties I’m puffin
Started off giving no fucks a lot
watch me hop in and out keepin it hot
rocks in the dial bussin Kodak bop
get higher than the moon and stars a lot
stones and the rubies they bussin like fye
crosshairs on my mind cant seem to take me out
hold up she on my line gimme some time
i cant get away
no time to unwind
slidin
im in my own lane
slidin in n out of dames
slidin
never needed fame
slidin
you ain’t even paid
slidin’
still dont hold weight
another homicide
another homie died
another subject you couldn’t relate too
i been out roamin long time losin my mind I think I just had me a breakthrough
hate you
59 bring da business
59 shots my ammunition
59 we draped in linen
59 might toss you some Pennie’s

[Verse III: Ruby]
never looking back
do my best to cover my tracks
feeding the monkey thats climbing my spine
and in return my itches always get scratched
never again have to wait in a line
but i wait for the lines to get formed out the sac
fuckin a different bitch every night
but id rather get fucked up and pass out
platinum plaques
stadiums packed
stackin up racks
hoes on my lap
dont give a fuck i need to know where my stash at
losing my mind
wasting my time
aint doing fine
hating my life
wear my heart on my sleeve but it aint balenciaga
prolly FTP or G59 or something by Ariagga
bought some Prada boots just to curb stomp me a pussy
why they always lookin at me?
cuz they see what they never could be
oddy nuff stay on alert
yeah she pullin up her skirt
and then i skirt
avoid the swell but i still fuckin surf

[Verse I: Germ]
please check the time
please check the clock
Its time to rock
this shit on lock
slid with the mops
don’t reach for that water you’ll get popped
I’m up at the top
dolo no flock
still in the way
I need all of the guap
still in my bag but I need a big box
it ain’t gon work cuz a nigga too hot
Movin’ whoa
holdin’ whoa
way too t’d might crash the rolls
outta my body I still ain’t gon fold
That bitch actin right I might put her in gold
white on her toes and some white up her nose
pints on the floor please leave me alone
i move wit the fleet you def cant get the low
popped out wit the rocket and blew up the store

[Verse II: Ruby]
wasting my time might as well of stole the rollie
burnin big blunts
breakin glass
i might summon the holy ghost
slowly smokin
nose is sloping dope
1000 thoughts at once and now i&#39;m focused
feelin atrocious
feel like provoking these hoes into chokin each other
im hopin i pick the right one
because one is a buffer
the other ones fucking nuts but i think that i might love her
im willing to suffer
im willing to give anything a try at least once
if i like it it’ll be months before i see the fucking sun
and check the clock or ask the time

[Verse III: Scrim]
3 fingers 6 digits for the gang smoking swisher blunts
Ridin middle finger up
Residue stuck in my nose go (snort) and I get high as fuck
Blicky toys
We Greys R Us
Got my bitch on Angel dust
Grip my pistol while she sucking
For a hoe I got no trust
Call the doc
Slick going out his mind
Forgis on the Benz floating like a poltergeist
Till I die it’s grey five nine
100 dollar bills snorting 1000 dollar lines

عمامه‌ی رهبری
وقتشه که بپری

بوی خون گرفته حوض حرم
لبخند بچه‌ها قوس قمر
سنگره کوچه،‌ بیاید تو گود محل
می‌خورین مثل گوجه تَرَک
باتوم‌و می‌چرخونه، شاباش‌لازمه
بچه‌ت می‌دونه که باباش قاتله؟
نظامتون یه ماشین فکسنیه که
حتی نمی‌تونه تا گاراژ راه بره
ایران سوریه نمی‌شه
تو در می‌ری سوریه
آهنیه روحیه
نارنجکا می‌باره رو سر برادرا
قضا بلاس
می‌سوزه پاسگاه پلیس
چهارشنبه‌سوریه
جای رویاهای نداشته‌مون مصرع می‌ذاریم
تبر رو برمی‌داریم تا بشکنیم آیین
این سری نوبت ماس که از شما بپرسیم
با آقا چه نسبتی دارین؟

دستامون وصله به هم مثل زنجیر
وقتشه پادگانا بشه تسخیر

نگفتن قاتل پژمان کیه
به جاش پایگاتون اشغال می‌شه
کوکتلا نقطه‌زنن
نه، ما نمی‌خوایم اسلام دیگه
الان پول ملت تو جیب مجتبی‌س
یه روز دفتر رهبری می‌شه مستراح
حجاب که نداریم هیچ
تازه کله‌ی آخوند تو کیف دختراس
برادر بسیجی چرا تسبیحت لرزید؟
شما خمپاره، هفت‌تیر، زنجیر
لباس‌شخصی
ما وحشی
بمبای دستی
۱۵۰۰تصویر
جامعه‌ای که ساخته از ماها جوکر
نه پامون نمی‌لرزه ما حتی با شوکر
فرو می‌ره کارد توی کبد کلان
یه لشکریم، نمی‌شن سربازا دودِل

دستامون وصله به هم مثل زنجیر
وقتشه پادگانا بشه تسخیر

کلمه‌ها می‌کوبه، رژه نی
می‌زنیمتون یه دل سیر
شما مثل مگسید توی چش شیر
اگه پیاده شید از ماشینای زرهی
گوشتون‌و می‌بُریم جای بدهی
بگو قاسم بیاد پیشواز
سه تا خشاب خالی می‌شه توی گیجگات
عمامه‌ت می‌پره هوا خامنه‌ای
راستی چه خبر از رییس اطلاعات سیستان؟
قوانین دینی با اقتصاد چینی
تجزیه‌طلب شمایید، ایرانم تو سینی
جیره‌خورای بی‌شرف نظام
استخوناتون‌و پودر می‌کنیم
می‌کشیم تو بینی
اسلحه‌مون سنگه، مهماتمون دل کوه
ظلم جوریه که آدم می‌بینه با چش کور
یگان ویژه با سپر بیا
تیزی پر کمرمونه، قراره بره توت
 
دستامون وصله به هم مثل زنجیر
وقتشه پادگانا بشه تسخیر

آبان ادامه دارد
انتقام همه رو می‌گیریم

What is the connection between Republican Party extremism before Trump and the rise of Trump? What kinds of economic and political reforms can best preserve American democracy? What will life after Trump, and Trumpism, look like in the United States?

On Episode 19 of the ELB Podcast, we talk with Tom Mann and Norm Ornstein, co-authors with E.J. Dionne of the new book, One Nation After Trump: A Guide for the Perplexed, the Disillusioned, the Desperate, and the Not-Yet Deported.
