AESOP ROCK – ZZZ Top

Somebody in a cultivated moment of distress
Composed himself to artfully carve Zoso in his desk
They was probably thinking fuck you fuck you fuck you in they head
With a hell bound arm and a acidy wash
Homemade curfew a thousand o’clock
And a pot leaf tattoo his friend did drunk
Like a badge of mystique that technically sucked
Taking the name of the father in vain
On the way to the blade in his locker, it’s strange
A switch he lifted from a siblings skivvy drawer
Who branched off into ninja stars
And never knew his shit was sharp
To here with a higher purpose
And a prime alert to juvenile beserkers
Like kush Van Morrison an Arcade Drop Floor
Down to the valley time for miss Ahkmar, watch
Capital Z (ed), slowly maneuver the O
S is the most difficult to control
Finally O
Into the eye of Goliath you goes
That levee crushing percussion
Will pull the monkey up right
Twelve or ghetto blaster
Blacken her technicolor telecaster
Lecture at a faster rate
The class was making them develop backwards
It would appear you spelled out all the answers

Somebody in a cultivated moment of distrust, composed themselves enough to magic-marker “Zulu” on these chucks, they was tryin to do the buckle font from ‘renegades of funk’, in a 3d frame of exploding brick, and whiz-lines for the locally motion sick, beyond gross but evoked a host of “oh dip” where a social neurosis owned the whole strip, heart of a cat with a lark in his mouth in the marrow of waiting his guardians out, flashlight, chisel tips, milked venom, pistol grip, images relocated from milled vellum to scissor kick, silent agreement at hand, king of the hill for a queen of the damned, she in the doorway seething began “that clean white pair had a 3-year planl”, oops, capital “zed”, radical “u” in the cut, truly to beautiful “l”oser it up, and he done, collateral damage a future alum, that key to Shambala, planet rocking, Bambaatta, sample chop, churning out a cancer for the vandal squad, analog, and he finds, animated colors on a page, like synthesized cultures on a stage

Somebody in a cultivated moment of resolve, composed themselves enough to publicize “the Zeros” in this stall, they was scoping every dog and pony previously scrawled, with a festering hate for the gum drop edge, ‘disco sucks’ tee, punk’s not dead, but a transient teen unsung godsend, via 3 bar chords and a mugshot grin, cheese, sign of a runaway tone in the face of authority thumbing nose, cutting it’s teeth
Pretzled up in special order vinyl, and birds that dip their belts in little metal porcupine quills, 2 dutch at a show in the front, low-key to the can for a smoke and a fuck, Trixie, fixing her lipstick up, when his mitts got bit by the mischief bug, snatchl, capital “zed”, terrible “e” in vermillion red, gimme an “0″ and a slippery “s”, over a web of the shittiest bands, that beat your heart out, never bleeped your favorite parts out from a learned curve, of bird fingers bursting out of germs burns, urgently, offered through the circuits ofan earlier plot, I’ll see you at the

When they ask how you, feeling you, tell em you, feeling like, something important died screaming, you, tell em you, feeling like, something even more important arrived breathing, something you should probably try feeding
When they as how you, living you, tell em you, living like, something important died hissing, you, tell em you, living like, something even more important arrived giving, something you should probably try willing

AESOP ROCK – Zero Dark Thirty

[Verse 1]
Look
Unsigned hype
Front line aeronauts flurry
Zero dark thirty
Zero friends minotaur-fugly stepchild
Evoke lunch jumped over plunging necklines
Up, beside tongue-tied hungry enzymes
Devolved into mothmen munching textiles
Punisher
Out past go-time
Back 10 fried worms chubbier
Brown grass both sides
Canned food
Manmade tools
Lanacane, band aids, mandrake root
Bindle on a broomstick, pancaked shoes
And a handshake-proof campaign, can’t lose
Can’t gain
Smoke out moles like a force of nature
Pray fortune return to his favor
Swiftly
Maybe in the form of a nest egg
Maybe in the form of a tesla death ray
Or a solid gold scene with something better to celebrate
Than powder on a face like a flatfoot on jelly day
M-m-moral compass all batshit
Spinning in the shadows of immoral magnets
Are we supporting the artist or enabling the addict
I mean, I guess it matters to me
I wish it mattered to you
How a thousand virtues
Kick the same bucket like chinatown turtles

[Hook]
Roving packs of elusive young become
Choke-lore writers over boosted drums
In the terrifying face of a future tongue
Down down from a huntable surplus to one

[Verse 2]
(Check his own) Breakneck pulse
Over colors in a drain
That emote sugar skulls in the rain
Flower-eyes melting
Guided by a levy made of that tile, tilting
Quarter up and headed for the kill screen
No corner cut, no build team
Only a particularly menacing
Angle perpendicular to everything
Boys room cherry bomb
Boy/goon very much runnin’ with the devil in the mellotron
Hello
Here’s where a tale of caution
Pounds coffin nails
To bootlegs of Hawkwind, saw tooth
Nevermind straw to gold
Spin hearts on sleeves into heads on poles
Arm in the maw
Fish out pith like a business card in a jar at the mall
A-alike androids dreaming of carbon applause
Get stuffed with cartoon cigars
Cold pack, neti-pot, home to roost
Around folk backed into what they most lampoon
Shook to the fevered brow and broke ankles
Daisy, declawed pound, no thank you
Fade me
Failed all basic training
But I spent a couple groundhog days with a changeling
Silhouette the god’s last cigarette
Anything less would be ri-god-damn-diculous

[Hook]
Roving packs of elusive young become
Choke lore writers over boosted drums
In the terrifying face of a future tongue
Down down from a huntable surplus to one

AESOP ROCK-Zodiaccupuncture

March
The more the merrier
Get a couple or more to carry you to the burial
F-R-E-S-H
Fresh to death and keep it def to the left
Well it was Capricorn, Virgo, Aquarius
(Check!), Cancer, Leo, Sagittarius
(Check!), Pisces, Libra, Scorpio, Aries, Gemini, Taurus
Let ‘em die for it

[Aesop Rock:]
Delicate freak show alert the frame
Bash all flags where the mag spin park
Corroded by the volts that jolt the cold vein
Boogie down kits to slip past the guard
Def with a mascot of radical mass
Megaphone fuzz and a woofer on fritz
We are not trained to divert the crash
But march face first with a prayer for the blitz
Stand up for the cinema fire, simian ire
Cold shimmy for the cinnamon sky;
Intimate eyes loop all known alleys
Scoop the bounty like daddy hires Bazooka to murder Ralphie
I curdle with burnt milk, pariah sigh, honor piranha money
Count it with the knuckle that hustle bread out a copper tummy
One of these rebels could level the marked city
But the N.Y. uber alles governor’s picky
I’ll be the jenky Jesus for the species you bleed with
Ultra, soldier poach the folklore
Jump guns through the ninth gate
Jump guns like a noon six burner lit up on the ninth pace
Even set among a portion conformed to the blind stage,
Never lured by the formal watching imported wines age
We bow to the gusto mustered by the mecha-bot
Plowed by the public, ushered out the letterbox
Wowed by the subject punctured by the helicop
Boy meets vermin: the widescreen version
Headaches, nausea, vomiting, facial paralysis
These area a few of my favorite venomous side effects
Mamba, Water Moc, Pit Viper, Diamond Back,
Anaconda, Boomslang, Cobra, bite ‘em back
Spinal tap crabs to the clapper
Aesop Rock is the Cadillac of natural disaster
Push that button
Everybody gotta push something
That’s why the envelope is where it wasn’t
I work with the builders, whittle my gorilla military
And fizzle ‘em through the vigilante filters
Who lamps left of the toggle?
How’d they fit that ninja in a bottle?
A hundred million motherfuckers with they hands out
Verse a walking zipper bomb trying to keep the man down

Get up, get down
Sit up, sit down
It’s either fancy footwork or get bit by the hounds
Face up, face down
Laced up, laced down
It’s either fist to the sky or get bit by the crowd
Well it was Capricorn, Virgo, Aquarius
(Check!), Cancer, Leo, Sagittarius
(Check!), Pisces, Libra, Scorpio, Aries, Gemini, Taurus
Let ‘em die for it

[Aesop Rock]
I was chewing my tongue out of my mouth one day
When the blood in my beard hit the dirt by the blazers
Would have said ‘curb it’ like any nervous habit
’til maverick told me the coyote pack could smell the wound for acres
And labor to cater fang to fisherman gut critters
Oblivious to the glimmer of innocent duck feathers
Fuck it
Want a carnivore war? Bet
I’ll be at the Bronx Zoo with a lock pick kit
On the eject for cockpit bench, helicop clip
Nazi cops on kamikaze belly flop shit
Roger, hop-fence-kill-a-crop, monster
We are the tired and poor, we come for your water
Boom!
Bounce when the church corrupt
When the mayor knuckle dust city worker bugs
When the stars finger babies like I flirt with sluts
You’ll see the fire engine red fox ears perk up
Metal kettle unsettling treble howl, settler trembling
Measuring mellow on the levitate off the mezzanine
Never seen a ton of bricks dressing clean dapper
’til it’s pin stripe and skull chunk forty stories after
And U.S.A. on a Ketamine disaster
Cane for stress
Crack if the former left you unimpressed
Now pardon me if part of me heart of an oddball, but damn
Kumba-fucking-ya, dog
Terminally alienated and bent awkward by the bought,
Prepped package of the slickest spin-doctors
Raised where the paranoid hide tools proper,
Like suspicious cargo in a high school locker
And it looks like war, quacks like war,
So it’s Occam’s Razor and I’m swayze out the door
A hundred million motherfuckers hold me back
The hand cannons won’t ask ’bout your zodiac, boy

Get up, get down
Sit up, sit down
It’s either fancy footwork or get bit by the hounds
Face up, face down
Laced up, laced down
It’s either fist to the sky or get bit by the crowd
Well it was Capricorn, Virgo, Aquarius
(Check!), Cancer, Leo, Sagittarius
(Check!), Pisces, Libra, Scorpio, Aries, Gemini, Taurus
Let ‘em die for it

AESOP ROCK – Water

The water ain’t safe, the land’s made of mortar
I hug a half empty glass my dignity’s trying to corner
I’m trying to see the future in a tea cup and a saucer
But I rather be drinking coffee with my cigarette foster
Can a run-away buckle the cloud-nine fantasy filter
To force the brutal truth of daily marketplace wars through the roof?
I mean, I stood beneath the icicles that bleed under the awning
And magically mastered the great absorbing of spirit falling
But I’m sick I’ve plowed these fields a thousand times over
Sold botanical research studies to farmers with whole quarters
And when science proposes to art besides that peaceful sea
I’ll be that cat with a ring on a pillow shouting finally
Take a number, the apple seeds raineth upon your slumber
A hundred thousand freaks on parade for the village hunter
My every whim acted upon has gone loopy
But I play a game called let’s prepare barnacle city for the end-all noosings
I split the radius of go-getter bellies, reconnaissance
Sleeping fossil genie bottle optimist freeze
Run for the fountain but the fountain is a desert optical tease
Tummy full of sand running man impossible stop
There’s a wing in my gut and I’m all dust
Surfing the urban Ididaride, certainly flushed
Now one in the hands work to and top the toilet seater
But what lies inside my heart is off the motherfucking meter

[Chorus]
See the Water ain’t safe no more
“I’m just trying to build my self to act as a truly better man damn”
See the water ain’t safe no more
“Nah nah the water ain’t safe no more”
I’m just trying to be a solid oak tree for every child to carve its name across
“The water ain’t safe no more”
I’m just trying to be the dream of ever peasant the hurricane can offer
“I’m just trying to be some body I can talk to in the morning with a smile”
The Water ain’t safe no more..

And I’ve always been a 40 night chronologic hostage
Rusted hook in the lip of the monarch
Wingless Anime
I don’t play in the man race cycle
Hope floater
Gloating inside carnal indifference till doom cops a slot
And potent quotas
I’m 20 something pumping acrylic tomorrow sideways
Blazing passage with a map tattooed on the back of the classless
Now tip-toe across a lost cause
Because a lost cause found
Don’t mean you found a cause
That means you found a lost cause
Ok now I’ve been here for role playing
Slaying my here and now
To benefit consumption for my peers steering the plow
And it’s incredible
Handy jackets turn numerals to sentinels
But bad apples ain’t sweet
And cretins acts ain’t that memorable
I’m Mozart with a focus on the tide
Hiding the inconsistencies of man behind water and wine
I wear a tiger striped ego and bilbo act my progression
Where the kindlings formulated through the flesh of the oppressors
Now, God had a flask I can prove it
You really think the 13 loops that used honor
Spawned me a sober unit? check potion
Addressed the ghost inside my TV with a ruler
Adhered to the back bone, stone pusher
Here ten thousand hackers deep in the movement
That’s 20,000 crucial ruby heels clicking in unison
It’s beautiful, truly beautiful
I keep a stick inside my hand
And carve my name inside every wall of the falling hologram

[Chorus]
See the Water ain’t safe no more
“I’m just trying to build my self to act as a truly better man damn”
See the water ain’t safe no more
“Nah nah the water ain’t safe no more”
I’m just trying to be a solid oak tree for every child to carve its name across
“The water ain’t safe no more”
I’m just trying to be the dream of ever peasant the hurricane can offer
“I’m just trying to be some body I can talk to in the morning with a smile”
The Water ain’t safe no more…

AESOP ROCK-Winners Take All

[Verse 1]
Parachute ratty, one bunk cord now the air is scooped badly
Dripping out the sticks like a twig-tweed hammock
Miter cut the cables for that quick, clean transit
Miser took the big screen; Panic made a business card
Ankle out of whack, painkiller tobacco scrap
We navigate the yellow corn hype for the barn
When the spotlight swiveled hard right over the farm
Post up, 3 cheers for the gimp
Spread thank you (3 on the right)
Limp to the door, splint what he mangles (3 on the left)
Yea I knew the percentages
But the numbers were unaware of the grand finale’s emphasis
And over the scent of a thousand dead dogs
Agent Zip-Zooka[?] swore to pull it off, GAMEFACE
Walkie-talkies squawking up his hip regarding paratroopers: 20 (Ha!)
Tug a noise/annoys[?] box-trigger reporting for hunting

[Chorus]
I have landed safely
I have not recieved my papers
I have zero natural enemies
I don’t know my location
I have no training in reconnaissance, combat or colluding
I’m calling for my orders, over
(STRAP ON A HELMET AND START SHOOTING!)

[Verse 2]
[?] up in a killer horse, numb and bloodthirsty
‘Till the uncle spitter beg the pig to hug mercy (Ha!)
240-below shit, kickers tickle the corpses (duck!)
Duck the widow-maker, also manufactures swords (ok…)
Manufactures ornaments, if it moves stick a fork in it
Winners take all, killers rape all coordinates
Unfortunately, courted by the most tenacious gaurdian
Whose aimless nature bait a holler [?] taste the martyr’s skin
No semper-fide[?] (Nope), no saluter units
Soldier the fire is more flesh than sulfer
And when the automatic-jitters wiggle the ribs
I feel so alive it don’t matter which bitches litter is clipped (Bang!)
Sun down, goggle up; canteen gobble-juice
Teargas nozzle up, brain buff hostile youth
Chop it up, lock a noose upon it
You will die for the glory of…Shit, I can’t put my finger on it
But it’s big! Big and legitimate
Justify women and kiddie killer shit, iller it builds
So he is not a natural predator, but can dismantle an AK-47
Clean and rebuild before you can mayday bretheren (Mayday!)
Muddy-gut snake eyes, she approaches cobras with an ugly muck
And bloody Bowie knife clamped in the canines
Wake ‘em with that blind military mechanism set to bludgeon
WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION!?

[Chorus]
I have landed safely
I have not recieved my papers
I have zero natural enemies
I don’t know my location
I have no training in reconnaissance, combat or colluding
I’m calling for my orders, over
(STRAP ON A HELMET AND START SHOOTING!)
I was standing at attention with a pocket full of weapons
And the will to walk a mile in the same fatigues that I slept in
I have yet to find a day in life worthy of my saluting
I’m calling for my orders, over
(STRAP ON A HELMET AND START SHOOTING!)

[Verse 3]
I shimmy up out of the fox
Hold the sword of the only after having logged every cadaver accordingly
High scores keep our Tama-tongs enthralled
(There is no course iller than no course at all)
Okay, if his perspective is smirked, sneaky detective work is aborted
And it’s no longer whisper-mode on the red alert
No bed of dirt ‘n’ sniper rifle peeking out the bunker (uh!)
Now I’m set in city looking for something to puncture [gunshot]
Help me up, the numbers of the heroes sat at suppers
Treat the public like a tin can, riddled before it plummets (Brrrap!)
But, adrenaline can lead to lazy-eye hassles
So he list the little boy into the pin-up pineapple[?] (Heh)
Thats funny…Bumps into the steel-toe
Thats lovely, sum it up in (Oh, hell no!)
And just as fast as the parachute cable snipped
I was rag-doll, horizontal, two limbs short of fixed
Link a baby pulled around the standard issued weaponry
While fading as a blemish in civility’s memory
They will step over the body for the looting..
(Ready on the far end line)
(The fuck is that?)
STRAP ON A HELMET AND START SHOOTING!

[Chorus]
I have landed safely
I have not recieved my papers
I have zero natural enemies
I don’t know my location
I have no training in reconnaissance, combat or colluding
I’m calling for my orders, over
(STRAP ON A HELMET AND START SHOOTING!)
I was standing at attention with a pocket full of weapons
And the will to walk a mile in the same fatigues that I slept in
I have yet to find a day in life worthy of my saluting
I’m calling for my orders, over
STRAP ON A HELMET AND START SHOOTING! [SHOOTING!: Repeat till fade out]

AESOP ROCK-The Tugboat Complex Pt. 3

I could make ‘em all dance, or I could sleep
I could walk with a limp and make your step feel incomplete
people are made of match sticks, light this bread a flames
note at the craft work door the last smirk of the the Damien mainframe
my box cost siphon third rail juice from lost poets
inhabit ocean bottoms with a bitter rotten scapegoat pardons (note to self)
don’t bargain at martyr parliament rallies
where participants squeeze your last giggle then whittle sacrificial finalies
I can tie my new faces alone, save your knee deep offerings
sorta bring puke coughing bunk persona to light (I might)
build [?] railroads, find you, and lay tracks adjacent
just to scream “fuck off” as the engine pulls out the station
what should we do with a thousand drunken sailors?
“kill ‘em all, locate their family address, release a mailer”

(dear sir or madam, your son or daughter’s embarrassed human kind
consuming booze and gut fuel, till they cruised across the line)

I spin gold, your raps are dirty lapsed
towards the nursery class act impression of a bubble
(yeah I could of been more subtle when polluting paradise gene puddle)
man huddles make us look like cool peeps and I’m trying to school sheep
towards the right idea {c’ya – [5X]}
this basic divine subsidiary bust center syllable logic, fold origami
plantation shut this picket fence
hang on to your dreams kitten, you’ll probably never hear this song
let alone sip the mission long enough to listen

(I smoke cigarettes down to filter, smoke the filter down to space
now I’m gonna roll this question tight and smoke that shit up in your face
now if you were to alter masks every time fame circus approaches
do you really think your maker wouldn’t notice?)

Okay, I’ve died a thousand, and I’ll die a thousand more,
I leave footprints in fours, two for bi [?], two operate [?]
practically caress the utterings of crushed [?] brothers and sisters
mothering stickler cabin and madden shit
I’ll fix the wing for a penny and a parabole, yeah but this friendship
sunk with a barrel full of [?] pull
I seen guys harbor bad shiners
then wonder why the culprits sitting at the their rainbows ending
want’s garbage bag liners [?]
with out the apple seed it’s useless (I sat for greed)
patched for boredom crafts a castle out of toothpicks (I sat to breath)
I breath to hard nearly metamorph castle loose pins
now I stand to breath as not to disturb the [?]
and I know that’s not a story, it no longer turns my stomach
hollering wolves in the form of one frustrated culprit
but a love tap full of washed up stardom melted trying to milk it
win a ticket to right white lines highway sideways [?]
one love to the rungs in my ladder, one love to the gathering of
laughter bats that hung from my rafters
see the jackal met the badger, they were both such fucking bad asses
that clashing wouldn’t make sense (hence my tape deck)
now I ain’t gonna name name’s, and I ain’t gonna drag others in
but I ain’t about to say that I’m the only cat you got bubbling
your lucky, somehow you managed to befriend some good people
who will sit and soak the evils you secrete, but why? I’m not really sure

(knock the fuck off, kicking his lip across the floor
’til the archival vinyl venom soak the [?]
anti-clarity mechanism spit flattery burners
fusing a million majesty murders then stole the crown)

oh wait that’s right, you discovered me right?
offered up the peace pipe, and oh
It’s all cotton candy when Aesop Rock the B light
he’s actin foolish left in the middle of laying bricks
(oh we weren’t building nothing but a great wall around these stones and sticks)
oh and for the record I’ve been rhyming since me and Andre thought we could freestyle
built foundation out of passion and brother dusty [?]
studied dope rappers, vocab expansion, poems and syllable placement
your just mad cuz somewhere in there you came and went (I ain’t the type to dwell)
dismissed it as casually non compatible and bounced
obtained status where I could straight objectively critique your after projects like
(damn that sounds fresh) or (damn that shit is garbage, what happened? I’m not even laughing)
yeah, but the barriers were broken (you choked)
you made comments to the wrong [?] who out of respect and honor leaked your program
now like were both trying to sit and breath another dawn so my advice
to you is when I say just “move on” (move on [5X])

AESOP ROCK-The Yes And The Y’all

[Aesop Rock - acapella]
Jiggy-jabberjaw vitamin idol and primal rages
When bible page verse tidal waves has begun (Water one)
I wrote the book that shook America to splinters
In a winter wasteland
Icicle-bound barren township
Call barren moon childs and proud gimps to clinch this chemical war pig
Delinquent sinkin like a paper tugboat
Well beneath your holiday
Beached on a red tide infested shore corroding eastern seaboard beauty
I’m a jigsaw slab, but all the pig saw was dirt bag

It’s like a bleeding comet bombing on your sequels
To the riverside park tunnel people claim last lifeform standing
Carbon based pardons ain’t enough
My stilts truly personify the serbonite flea circus
We urchins merkin on daily
I catapult brain opera past basic
Tear my own face off in the finale, stick around it’s ill
Diabolic Prodigal Son spill grimmace
If you had one more eye, you’d be a Cyclops
Which explains missing the premise
Bliss mimic, baptise, chastise, laugh die
Kiss the finish, piss the villagers the fuck off
Pete Piper picked peppers, and Run rocked rhymes
Aes Rock might’ve smoked one too many dimes in his time
Now where you gonna be when the sun falls, brother
Probably gathering your sheep with all these other mothafuckers
Struck twice in the same place by a moody Zues fishliner
Smackin the third clear out the park
Going gone (To infinity and beyond!)
I rocked for a flock of Chewbacca look-alikes in magic makers
Hermit crabs and New York city sewer aligators
Keep your homily dream out your homily
I deal with tangible goods
And avoid manufacturing food for landfills
I’ve seen friends bow to needles
I’ve seen needles bow to records
I’ve seen boughs break
I’ve seen God bow and make the clouds shake
I’ve seen the proud break
I’ve seen alot for a blind soldier
Who tattooed the city scape up skin to blend in
Rats travel by night invite the waterbugs
I’m here to pull the three-prong
When it’s prime directive wormhole of self-sacrifice
Had a hatchet slice for camps
For that God-awful Frankenstein
Starving your style to someday be a story in my [?]
Life’s hard, life’s easy
Life’s everyting in between
Life’s Peachy like James and the Giant
And I keep spittin as long as these kittens buy it
And I keep casting my line as long as these officials bite it
And I like it (Don’t try it like that)

[Movie sample]
“Yes the bough is low
That’s the way it goes though….
Maybe I should just give up or stop trying
But life is so uncertain, so short
I’ve got to keep on searching
And wherever it takes me, I’ve got to go”

[Aesop Rock]
Ban away temper tantrum, decrept anthem
Set a low go, I arrived late
I’m here to scrape a car clean to the funk machine
Imposes on the underling amalgam cluster and identifies the mother
(You got heart)
I hate to tell you but it skips more than it palpitates
Like these here drunken little archers missed one of they calculate
The falcon hates the mockingbird
The farmer hates the drought
I hate em all, I kick the bottom brick out shouting “Yes y’all”
And blow the village out perspective (Aesop!)
Do you take this makeshift-Candy Land-cold classic-bastard style
To be your lawfully wedded head trip
Doing base throughout sickness, health, electrical storm
Fire, pain, rain, hail, wind, ice, sleet, snow? (Hell no!)
I’m balanced, personified phantom to the bone
Walkin like a Jabberwocky
Scalpin a pair of one-way tickets to shadowboxing
Christmas with a shallow stocking
Like this (I’m just trying to milk the mileage)
You drop science like Don Herbert with liquor in him
Soundin off like senior citizens sitting at bingo parlor bickering
Yeah it’s kinda funny, isn’t it
How I can build while you just sit there and bitch about your syllabus

[Chorus 4x]
Dwarfed by the lights, bewildered by the fanbase
Bound by an idea, skeptical of the handshakes

Skeptical of the handshakes [repeat to fade]

AESOP ROCK-The Mayor And The Crook

No more pencils no more books
I built the city out one brick
I had a mayor and a crook
I made the crook stab the mayor then slay himself in the guilt
I stole the brick back and migrated east, now let’s build

Every tenderfoot cadet better they be slit-throat percentages
Chicken penmanship tied the thirteenth knot (Hangman)
I arrange panoramics of a plastic catalogue
And where wild dogs sing tailor-made lullabies tried by my offspring
I’ll bring the butterflies and he can bring the centipedes
And she’ll bring the cadavers set em’ free and let em’ feed
The devil tree penciled me in but I slept thick through my alarm sock
Slick Willy hid in the barn while farmer charmed the crops
And I’m a warden
My tongue is full of glass
Because I promised my friend I’d chew up the bottle
If he truly drank the poison
I’m alienating the mating man to the high ride, base tied
Face mine’s and make God clones
We can manufacture medicine
Cut into 5-digit slide clock the essentials in (I’ll be a bill collector)
My destinies resting with red worms chewin” off the carcass anyway
Let me slay artists for tips in the penny tray
By the way if that diamond ring don’t shine
That’s cause I bought it at the five-and-dime but don’t neglect the sentiment
I’ll pedal my tricycle through the f-5 logistics of a twister
Soaked in the religions of a nit-picker

[Chorus]

If I botched the operation I apologize (sorry)
The air’s rooted in carbon
I’m but a mortal archer parked in amber waves of starlets
I’m fresh out of Geppeddo’s woodwork asylum
Cedar frame, wire-bound knuckles
Let a tug of the puppeteer steer my hustle
Well when a page becomes a squire, re-engage, clap your wings
When a noble’s demoted hope it don’t sucker-punch the colony
But when the catapult releases lease your claims behind the bunker
And fasten stinger pageant results to the public eye (glory hunter)
Is it genuine enough to feel baby felon
Negotiate comradery of wills
Hows this my little loom
Perv surgeon with dirty dominion monitor boxes
Hovering inches ‘bove pertinent urchin toxins
Now y’all ain’t excused from table side
Till the dinner plates fly
Slurping’ liquid happy citzen enhancer
I got this slicky sycamore head shaker
Mimic stitch and splinter entry
Thereby filtering citizens hit-man prior to acts descending (tight)
Cats know the ambiance calm beyond comparison
Captive, passive spring loaded serenity
I’m trying to give this city acupuncture
Shovin one-way pins in subway systems
Stand up where I’m layin, now that a runway vic (push)
Made you go batty, spreading spawn legitimate
Spice the bishop, sever the ties, splinter the kinship
See every now and again I love life but hate to admit it
Cause it spreads the jinx on a sleeping cynic

[Chorus]

I’m quadruple six plus scruples category mayhem stems
So one overlooked the scene including loopholes
When Christ studies the return ramifications
I’ll burn the campus to impress him
Then rock like medusa glances
You ran the final mile before the blanks blow
Home alone sippin beetle juice
Just to numb and then shimmy the needles loose
I built a castle out of fifty-two cards
Plus jokers with an image
Modern theory jars us while remaining harnessed to the vintage
I’m mad at how far this is dishonoring Occam’s Razor
But it seemed so being fatigued knuckle work (labor)
I’ve patched the little leakage in the shell around my greed
In case Tommy Turbulence located the matrix then impedes

AESOP ROCK – The Tugboat Complex

Oh my God
They’ve got angels sweatin’ like Hell, it’s
workin’ their little halos to the bone combing them deserts
my figure eight knotted
lifeline defined traffic
the way my schoolin’ end-less-ly defined every day
one exquisite fitted crisis rivets an octagon of red
to the ceiling above my bed
it’s not a conversation piece, like public spectacles
unleashed more of a clue
so when I wake up to the rains I’ll be one step ahead of you
I slide like Kodakrome [?]
wrote a poem for every planet
tracked their mileage from the sun in an envelope
licked it, stamped it
got eight thank yous in the mail, but nine planets means there’s one left
only the earth would thank me later with a breath taking sunset
(man, I’m just a bum)
zip that waterfall around your skeleton
tell it to boil
loyalties, the shovel in the soil
dig it, I split my lip kissing the winter
nursed the blister in the sun
strung a hammock between spring and where the willows turn to blood
might of worked
sip a little, litter it, love it
without big beetles trying to sell him sunflower seeds by the bucket
might of, tugboat for the boxcutter above those ashes
without hot air balloons floatin’ their four passenger baskets
and I’m asking you
to let a captive lacerate a caption
splash out massive
apolster plastic glasses with famine patches
i-dentify all saints linked around the fountain’s warmth
and for a second taste of pain when removing that crown of thorns
[?] born hostile, pacifist huddled in subtle masochist
stamp the blame on [?]
my fire escape overlooks ghost town market place
artists bought out passes
then fast themselves to the target’s face
you’re killin’ me

if I had a hammer, I’d build a city on stilts
so my feet would stay dry when God’s wine glass tilts

if I had a shovel, I’d dig a hole in the dirt
and I’ll be hiding when his drunken stupor lands upon earth

and if your little wing is broken
I’ll see the poacher in hell
I can’t afford another [?] in a cell
my carousel mimics the interests of a thousand leaking spickets
and a colony of graziers raised to justify the grimace
(and yes I read the treaty)
I prescribe the remedy plus the premises
my pin cushion, my limbs pushin’ the knitting needle
evils, idle, peddle past the greeting
where the sleepers feed the cycles
stop, watch the eagles board the little engine that could not
ghost in a shell
and it fell in my lap
passin’, postin’ the bail but the guard has misplaced the key ring (that’s wonderful)
I lead a flee to blaze exact songs directly into the village
power supply burning the bridge between the magnet and my eye
now how many cadavers satisfy a mad man?
and how many crooked samaritans turn plesantville to bad land?
I can count my own dusty nickels with you laughing
about you’ll turn my poor ass ebony and navy with cane lashings
(well, you’re right)
grip your pointed stick, incite your riot
I’ll sell your worth in a bottle at profit, explain my bias
atomic box cult, downward spiral rapidly
cast to hell with hate mail, forged Christ’s autograph
laughed itself, drastic catastrophe
biting my lip
skin and bones, stringent
bingin’ on rancid baits
mummified well inside a muddy New York minute was it
your remnants my smoke rings have cocooned prior to fading?
well, it wasn’t conscious spite but it might have been that

I am not your friend anymore
my arrow head dissertation [?]
when narrow bed sleepers occupy the basement
and I am not your friend anymore
come the dawning of [?] in your pity blend that whispers in the wind

man, if it were only that simple
I’d add a guilt frame to [?]
I’d board myself inside my room to trace the wilting contour
one petal falls to the rug, she loves me not
town crier lugging a boom box with spirit plugs
and a red radio flyer
tied to irony like twenty burning igloos with a sailors knot
fiddler crabs build sandcastles while high tide off azalea crops
in the icicle field I portray, cats get antsy
and ask ‘why if every light is dark do I continue dancing?’

why if every light is dark do I continue dancing?

why if every light is dark do I continue dancing?

why if every light is dark do I continue dancing?
well if it ain’t finally a question that’s worth answering

I boogie for the raindrops
for the purity, the anger
for my childhood recollections
for the comic book in my heart
the mocked intentions
the clarity, passion, seclusion
those cool summer nights
for the mark emerging across the street selling me stog’s at half price
for the mights, the maybes, the nauseating pitfall
my girl, my friends
for the fact my window opens towards a brick wall
for the three legged dog I saw dragged on a leash
for the homeless man who walks my block in rainstorms with plastic bags on his feet
see I throw away the tenders over one shoulder
and walk across broken glass
through every wicked world to kiss tomorrow’s morning
not for nothing
you’ll drown in a pool of your crooked morals
whispering ‘maybe Aesop Rock was on to something’

maybe, no promises

AESOP ROCK-The Harbor Is Yours

Dead, men, tell no tales
Up push the daisies ’till the soil is stale
In a powder blue tux for the farmer’s sail
Mister big sleep with the carp and kale

Once upon a time in the days of yore
When the people lived fresh in the legend of folk lore
There was an old pirate who followed a vile slang
Had a bird perched on him, and swashbuckled the same
Peg leg navigated starboard to port
By the nautical starry night yellin’ the harbor is yours
You should tell him where you situate the gold
That is unless you’d like a vacation with Davey J-J-J-Jones

Like walk the plank, for whom the shark bank
Maroon the mutineers, consume the souvenirs
And while the shiny spoils piled higher every year
He was suffocating slow in the box of a buccaneer
Ten summers prior on a night like this
Crows nest saw something that float to the boats west
Sword blew him a kiss, and when he focused
Seen the face of an angel upon the body of a F-F-F-Fish.

What the heck! Frazzled, his telescope shattered, gathered himself
She was ghost, he was down the rope ladder to deck
Circled the vessel 360, swiftly
Found nothing in the water but salt, piss, and whiskey
Yargh, heckled by the Swabies at the bar
He’ll be the laughing stock of the Barbary Coast War
Like “This dude either got two glass eyes
Or he’s wearin’ his patch on the wrong S-S-S-Side”

Now he knew what he saw, but had to prove he was raw
So he raped and he pillaged and he’d feud any brawl
Tried to rekindle his rep via sabers and gun smoke
And vowed he’d go and find her, though he never told his cutthroats
Meanwhile, back in the now,
Got a brand new skeleton crew on the move now
When they aren’t manning thirty burning cannons stern and bow
They are prying shiny metals out your M-M-M-Mouth

Okay, youth wanes, old age ushers in disease like the scurvy made his yellow gums bleed
And he was achy from his boots to the feather in his hat
‘Till his quartermaster showed up with a stolen treasure map
One look down and leaped off the dock
See if you can guess where X marked the spot
The capital was buried at sea in a cursed cave
Only one mile away he seen the M-M-M-Mermaid

Anchors up, hoist, push the jolly roger way too much
Day and night with his hook hands raised and clutched
But see, the vitamin deficiency was strong
So by the time they bumped into the island, he could barely lift his rock [?]
Crawled off the boat, collapsed in the sand
Prayers in the air, seashells in his hands
An area high tide so grand
It’s the one that put the lady of the lake on dry L-L-L-Land

And I wish I could tell you that it ended happy
Pretend like his bones weren’t practically snapping
Pretend like her gills didn’t dry up and suffer
But that’s a half dead pirate and a fish out of water
No lie, scouts honor, got a million more
From the burgundy lining above the shores of whores
Before your visions of grandeur go to swell those sails,
Remember dead men tell no T-T-T-Tales.

Dead, men, tell no tales
Up push the daisies ’till the soil is stale
In a powder blue tux for the farmer’s sail
Mister big sleep with the carp and kale

AFI – Affliction

Every night devise
new heights in genocide.
Lover I am loveless.

All my friends and I
toast health and suicide.
Lover, I am lonely.

Come on!

Were you holding hands when
my palms bled?

Oh, I will be alright…
just use me, just use me.
The future’s bright without me.
Spend some time walking the line.

World is unified.
Ennui, and I divide.
Lover, I am loveless.

Red days and burning might bleed
‘Til the faceless die
Oh, lover I am lonely.

Were you holding hands when
my wrists bled?

Oh I will be all right…
Just use me, just use me.
The futures bright without me
Spend some time walking the line.
Spend some time walking the line.

So stay sweetly numb.
Remain lifeless, love.
Stay sweetly numb.
Maintain lifeless love.

Stay sweetly numb.
Remain lifeless love.

Oh I will be all right…
Just use me, just use me.
The futures bright without me
Spend some time walking the line.
Spend some time walking the line.

AESOP ROCK – Tetra

Don’t fool with his cool

I turn a staff to a snake and back, evade crack
Shake a 5150 in shades and a fake stache
Dirtbike made of 5 worse bikes, uphill
Tabletop frames on dutch tilt, crush kill
Make or buy point-op arcade punk [?]
Talkin’ arcane science, dark age pull [?]
Four eyes card face, bark Aes iron on [?]
Pork rinds orange age, Jarred brains die alone
No Mulligans, crow bars bird cage
Cold, colonize Mars on Earth day
And surface from the cellar door like worms into the petrichor
Messenger, better get a vessel for a Tetris score
Zilch, cowabunga homies call me “press ignore”
Devastating energy exploding off his Tesla coil
Farm baited breath and tempermental tremors
That taught a man to wave with 10 percent of his fingers
And I never lost tic tac toe to a live chicken
For the footage, I’m off cam dynamite fishin’
For diamondback rattles in his holy grail
Evoke colony collapse via gross betrayal
3 wolf moon shirt, two shoes one sock
Wore the same hoodie everyday like Mumra
Buh-dum-bum, follow the regenerated rebel flesh [?]
Out of sorts, out of water, suicidal tetrafish
Who stood by the conviction in his we should be together less forevermore
Before we are the severed heads of civil war
And basing [?] radio ricochet off the silver foil
Trash can fire looking for a kill to grill or spoil
Quickly, purveyors of fine hijinks
I know, this is why we can’t have nice things
I prefer to skip the pleasantries
Flip the diner table, dip in time for final jeopardy

No shit
Oh and don’t fool with his cool
Ma, can we get a pool?
… Is that a no?

Okay, magpies, Hoarders, and allied forces
Who lick zig-zags being dragged by horses
Transcribe stories in patterns of pins dropping
Skinned boars and exaggerated limb-lopping
Slow Mozart, no I’ve never heard a knocking
Might’ve burst in on it, splits or skin popping [?]
Opt out, sober on the eve of no saints day
Locate and aim for the token propane tank
Bang! Followed from a pulling of hair
To a homecoming sullied by a skull on a spear
It spun a human resources issue to public affair
Reciprocity is a pestilent compulsion to bear
And ultimately unfulfilling, concurrently that rigid upper lipping grudge or crippling [?]
The wonder twins are bitching
Armchair hater, I wouldn’t piss on your coffin
But when I see your picture I draw dicks on it
The ozone breakaway tux
Holds chicken wire ribs and papier mache guts
Pipe cleaner mustache, fork hands, google eyes
Macaroni gas face, no plan to humanize
You are now rockin’ with the worst
Nothing up his sleeve, nothing here is what it seems
Paranormal weather, mysteriously disappearing bees
Not to mention the collateral delirium it breeds
Jeez, forgive him and he dicey past
He from a tiny town called Deaths Icy Grasp
And he don’t get out much but when he do it’s beetlemania
Do not be asleep at the feet of his feelers radius
Too charitable, offerin’ the average joe some real estate
Between the big mouth billy bass and jackalope
Cozy in a moment of bliss
Snatch the food off your plate, snatch a goat off a bridge
No shit

AESOP ROCK-Super Fluke

I skunk the blood up as to numb the public interface
Before the anime corrodes I’m trying to fork the figure eights.
Hogwash etiquette, truncate long haul leverage picket.
Out built auto-bricklayers with 10 guerrilla digits.
A the Don Darko bark O beautiful pirhana gossip, cobwebs on the Kafka.
Choke up on watcher logic with a left-center field indicator gestured gently.
Smash when the 101-octane hemlock tea pumps chest to extremity.
And phenom limp it to the wicked recon.
Prowler fist up with a Bowser twist vs. America’s kooky coward clips.
Pump breaks, cupcake. I melt through the father formula.
Goofus merked Gallant, the missing link was apparent.
Drugstore cowboy, hold floors and grudges, fuck the Judy piece while Elroy burlge space cakes out the cupboard.
I could kill a cockroach with only Wallabies and rug burn, pin ‘em down and funnel up boric acid chuggers if stubborn.
Mash jackals. Hacks flash Bedazzlers. Capture flags and crash test happy campers.
For the typecast ponies grazing through the weekend ring alarms with bassy kicks that flip whips on the Major Deagon.
Out of dodge nauseous.(I don’t feel good) Yo El, leave the keys to the Delorian with Lauren at the office.
I peak the 88 streak off with a fiery disposition and basic serotonin deficient symptoms.

[CHORUS]
Alpha uno compute. Motor mouth askew at the root.
Brick house, huff, blew the roof.
Please don’t feed the bazooka tooth, evolution super fluke…

With a kiddy pool full of warm milk, Nyquil and powdered Ammbiene they found him, trying to drown sheep and count ‘em.
The rowers keep rowing. Pachyderm tranq dart blowgun pressed to the nape of the neck only spent 12 seconds frozen.
Marathon eye-opener most likely misinterpreted, ‘cuz one bad night before the big briefing ain’t breached the surface yet.
Holler dirt merchant… echo out Brooklyn, where the women are beautiful and the vagrants piss crooked.
This is the sound of one man getting high with one hand in a forest with a tree falling alone… ya heard?
Cut rugs to it. Me and my leaky budget nickel-bribe the judges just as a beautiful goose egg motif’s adorning the panel’s judgment.
(Overnight Biggies) Overnight Biggies plunk quarters into an A & R Zoltar while the incubated fade collar pop folklore in effect.
Now they want to mitigate the gusto, that’s like asking the cast of Watership Down to fuck slow.
Homogenized carnies.
Voodoo lullaby placebo collide zombies.
Blazing R&B; sucker pop lolli fuck spoon futile cartoony maneuvers to soothe roosters.
Doctor I’m having headaches and pink slips in my locker. My agenda needs a walker. (Hey) It’s better than Cats!
See a grown-ass-man decay to red worm food in house fly years while y’all stable, like all aspiring actors waiting tables.

[CHORUS]

So I line ‘em up and ask ‘em flat… wanna de-worm the belly of this? Orphan bloodlust or timidity?
Solidify. Widdle I Aes millipede uncivil. When Millie pulled the pistol that tore the vanilla sky across the middle.
A billion little crimson pinholes sweat on vintage quill venom developed by a fatal blues anthology.
Communities on cue bury their ostrich beaks.
Thought it was carnie mirrors ’til the cold morning stunk the stink of obsolete heroes.
Hyena for the sci-fi, God barter “non” for hyphen.
Promo charted phobia specific violence like a 50 foot Bob Barker deployed to incinerate New York, which in a way’s more scary than thermonuclear war.
I got my tongue down Karma’s throat. Half a dozen spy cams rigged up in blackmail science.
Swamp rats back off a destiny that fucks her clients hence the riots.
You lose, she knew about the tapes and asked for my assistance to clip the biased.
Lucky sevens buddy up for mass taxidermy. Some burn facts and secure camo to past.
I’m open bodega with ankle anvil pre-shackled out, cancel hackers backwards ’til the death tarot and rains collabo.
Hope’s a broken arrow stabbing blind through the fog in the log cabin, which gathered and hasn’t budged since 9/11.
Give him a couple close friends, a women in his old bed while he waits. He’ll hug it all with no plans to escape.

[CHORUS]

AESOP ROCK-Skip Town

On the train
Watchin’ the rainbows (thank you windows)
I mean, it’s all the same to some
But that cityscape makes me numb
Walkin’ the wire between firewater and water – I’ll take the tap
Still managed to end up thirsty the day the nursery collapsed
In my hand I hold the plumage of a buzzard
Somethin’ for circlin’ nutrition (seems barbaric)
I may have just saved your children
There’s an inborn tendency tellin’ me to grip that sickle
The pirate tyrant breathes, feed on your precious little pixels
I interviewed the sun, he said the future’s lookin’ bright
I interviewed the rain, he claimed the sun’s truly an asshole
I’was supposed to interview the snow today but of course he flaked
So I let my frigid demeanor teeter and take his vacant place
We three sprout from the same litter
Yet amazingly crafted by separate scissors
I stalk the morbid beaten past splashin’ in the cretin blizzard [?]
Half my time is herded toward little lost causes
Half my time is spent pluggin’ these leaky faucets
An’ I’m here to pose inquiries
I’m here to draw a fork in the road and call it the diary of common sheep aspiring
Little Billy star lit up the block got the right premise
But can’t thread the needle without consultin’ apprentice present.
I don’t really know you (I don’t)
And I don’t really care (I don’t)
Can’t judge a man’s dignity by the wattage in his stare
Maybe that deams me that vagabond you’d love to kill
But I really ain’t got time for the motherfuckin’ guilt.

[Chorus:]
I’m gone, and I best believe I’m leavin’
Pack up my belongings then it’s off into the evening
Now I haven’t exactly been embraced by the populace
Set sail upon the seven deadly seas of the anonymous
I’m gone, and I best believe I’m leavin’
Pack up my belongings then it’s off into the evening
An’ I’m diggin’ a tunnel to where the sun’l never shine
I’ve got my book I got my dream I’ve got myself an’ I’ll be fine

(My time) is the day before the day the earth stood still
(My time) is the day before the soldiers fired at will
(My time) is the day before the hunter made his kill
My time to find a mile before the valley meets the hill
I’m an archer
Partnered with a farmer’s board of appetites [?]
Sweetalkin’ a rasping down to a mere flashing of badges
Prototypic landscape staged every step of my well-oiled collective workhorse with prose and attention festive.
Wait.
What about the captivator?
I am the product of skeleton dancers voice crooked scattered amidst blue fields of firey bliss tricks [?]
Where disease applicant activist rattlers, fascinate brave child
Where expectant slave smiles at the stick in the painted living
God, if I could offer maintenance to fantasies I would
I’d place the button in the city square for everyone to push
You see my mission’s responsibilities range across the board
And so I’d rather be a pen than a sword
I swim a cold lake, make no mistake, I was not ready
All edgy and outta shape, made the company look messy [?]
(Sorry, well sorry) Honestly take it or leave it
Just let me know so I ain’t beggin’ forgiveness throughout the evening.
Basic locomotive with a whistle and caboose
Tryin’a pull my cargo ‘cross the map without a boost
Brasher than more ways in ten years sturdy bird construction [?]
Help the smokestacks puff until the morn, dream torn

[Chorus:]
I’m gone, and I best believe I’m leavin’
Packed up my belongings then it’s off into the evening
I’ve knocked upon every little door that comes about
I’ll sweep ya porch if you can spare a couple of breadcrumbs and a couch.
I’m gone, and I best believe I’m leavin’
Pack up my belongings then it’s off into the evening
This turning in my sleep is getting old and older still
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can,
I think I will.

AESOP ROCK-Spare A Match

Electric charge comin’ from the mainframe
I’m from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

My every little step set in a star,
Retina Scarred; tread in a sled of bedbugs got my dead head in a jar
Crazer camp stamp blank on the mug of settlers registered not protest nor approval regarding every morn futile.
My experience with a spirit alignment interference assigns division from clearance to ample scrambling.
Let’s note the magnificence in the difference.
OK see two canaries on the wire aspire to separate luulabies both of which had me drifting.
Every clan ghostly orphan scared stiff in the bliss and list picking from the arrangment under burden. Bust.
Wallow in will to split the privelage cluster; Lackluster as if a journey choice grew on the nearest chuckle path- dispatch trouble.
I’ve never seen the water so high in my poison life. Social conduct, 20 pace, about face, self destruct.
I know the key locations, sharp enough to catch those subtle signs cause, well, this here alley cat’s been around the block a couple of times.
Lifting every tin can, sifting every mess; one man’s trash, you know the rest, live it.
Pitching a battered platform out of mass hysterics perished in the blizzard. When it’s finished I plan to sit and observe the twister pivot.
Sleep and sleep well; sleep with a sacred array of fevers, wake as a pertinent version of a pipe dreamer.
Y’all can find me if you lookin for a friend- I’ll be the only iron-clad oracle in a city of tin.

(it’s like that)

[CHORUS:]
I was born where crooked demeanor seemed to spawn merit;
I was born where all the king’s men couldn’t mend a broken spirit;
I was born where it don’t matter if you stand, sit, or fall, to live and die as a brick brick brick in the wall.
And I’m a brick brick brick brick brick in the wall, and I’m a brick brick brick brick brick in the wall.
And I’m a brick in the wall, drop in the bucket, yes y’all.

(Electric charge comin’ from the mainframe)

(Electric charge comin’ from the mainframe)
(I’m from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks)

(Electric charge comin’ from the mainframe)
(I’m from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks)

Spare a match for the most distorted orchid in the path.
Assorted orphans coursed in a morbid orbit forward toward the traps.
I make a tentative promise to flash frequent the most sacred abrasive based in allegiance to the makeshift mason’s secrets.
Water basin leaking, plug it up.
The simple triple ring performance shoveled subtle imperfection.
I rung a life’s worth of saturated costume gear over hell’s balcony to nullify the drought and still the martyr farmers shout at me.
And so the epic went.
And every cirrus hung.
The bow breakers turned a cradle fatal, every spirit clung.
Croon for the slick Icarus brain children busy splitting the givingtree building fresh canoes for freaks to cross the spill in. i’m frantic.
My plan is dwindling with every pulse bump. Gods and monsters yield the lump sum of the dolt clump.
Be wary when the stratosphere tints.
I Scout like Atticus Finch, inching up slow in the games of reconnaissance.
Now cause to amend the Zen memorandum has surfaced in every holocaust citadel fix it plan.
12 easy steps to better picket line demeanor.
Gumshoe.
Stick stone conglomerate activate massive.
But the sky is falling. F-f-f-fuck you.
I’ve hired sweatshop labor to hold candles to the solar panels stitched in the back of my neck for nickels and sour milk by the week.
Cheek to the heartache.
At the center of my anthem lies a blend of temper tantrums substancial for me to lamp in.

AESOP ROCK-Shovel

[Chorus: x2]
I don’t shrug instead of the ramifications of my shovel
Lovin the consequences of uprooting the jungle
I’m huggin the cyclo Gemini stooped contenders from viewin the puzzle
I don’t budge the motives encased inside the gauntlets hung in quotas

[Verse 1:]
My kitchen sink leaks like your itching to speak a secret
’bout the world spins yet nobody’s pledged allegiance and why?
His beaming smile knew a private agony that burns
And when the children met divinity I sat to watch the merge
It goes pandemonium live
Ya’ll mutha fuckers stand up volunteer tantrums while your playin summin vivid
Play your sympathy card till the misery clash
And a basket case is in a classless matrix with elastic stitches
Raggin a bag of lonely poem remnants
Short of breath like you’re short of fresh
You’re a portable mess
Carpetbagger spearheading tear peddeling pretentious art critics, orphans
Trying to dismiss those pioneering their fortunes
You’re a spectacle
Pushin for pedagogue lacin up paper weights walkin on stilts talking
You touched the hand of God and I’m like
What are all these evils that plagued the hearts of man
By sweet talking border patrol until they fold and let them in
You got your life in a basket before you could say instant classic
Like the king of the mountain requires a boost
I’ll bury the hook in my belly just to volunteer at live aid clinics
For the thrill of 9 great mimics with 18 bloody lips, spittin
Beanstalk, chalking outlines before figures fly
Walking uphill trying to get down
Prominent ghost town litigate battle pitch darkness
When the light switch hits the artistry circuit board breaker
Service in the greater half of nature
See money go wild shook when the exploitation incubated lovely
Warmingly piggy leader colony to comfort
Numb enough to deny the sin pins and evil needles even punctured
Till he won’t define his Tourniquet Still Functions

[Chorus: x2]
I don’t shrug instead of the ramifications of my shovel
Lovin the consequences of uprooting the jungle
I’m huggin the cyclo Gemini stooped contenders from viewin the puzzle
I don’t budge the motives encased inside the gauntlets hung in quotas

[Verse 2:]
Burn burn em mostly
Stuck unplucking plumage out the poultry
Soaking in bulk on a sofa with ductape upholstery
Dirty doc stellar space medic
Stoned by the commoners for glowing
Psuedo bloaters buy them beats till bloated
Happy trail hitchhikers guide to spanning oblivion
Complete with a thankless 9-5 chapter
You can sign your life after the facts
Wicked soldiers pickin with buddy system
Logistic motors like Noah’s ark ticket holders, pivot
All in a days breath
I guess
Sandman hit up or shatter a day when television run over baboon heart transplants
Sketching a glass partially empty till their hand cramps
With a iceman dance [?] and stand with a [?]
But maybe I do
Yeah yeah maybe it’s all over
Maybe I won the game before the machine ate my quarter
I mean absorbing attention’s a must
You don’t wanna be overlooked
Yeah but you don’t wanna be looked over too much
One up for the dashed hopes of fifty fishermen who crashed boats
And the angels who never hit a bad note when harmonising
I’m an armour plated farmer
I’m an archer rising with a drawn bow
For the karma where the bulls eye clings and argues
Dense, spreads like new names at the writers bench
Either you drink it or sink it, cause there ain’t no sitting on the fence
You make me chuckle child, it’s hells kitchen now, miss
Recognize your life is merely bait for bigger fish

[Chorus: x4]
I don’t shrug instead of the ramifications of my shovel
Lovin the consequences of uprooting the jungle
I’m huggin the cyclo Gemini stooped contenders from viewin the puzzle
I don’t budge the motives encased inside the gauntlets hung in quotas

Encased inside the gauntlets hung in quotas
Encased inside the gauntlets hung in quotas

AESOP ROCK – Sick Friend

Thou mayest indeed
Tune onto the forbidden channel
And see it like it is baby

[Record Scratch in]
You should be a champion
Never fall on me
Deceit, deceit, deceit
[Record Scratch out]

“Getting dusty in the cellar”

[Verse 1: Aesop Rock]
Yo
I was thinking about my sick friend
Stringing a ring around my whit’s end
30 loops later his feet hung inches out the pig pen
Motley day goblins brought up pillage to pass the stillness
With bad javelin tip dipped inside barrel black magic brilliance
Who rose at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier?
To capture the fashion fragment choreographed in traffic dancing for nickels
Looked like sickle cells with the principles of high rotary
One hope distortion odyssey sputters itself to my how not example sample
Give me the bread crust while considering the littering
I don’t pity the head rush or the whimpering, spill
Anchor to rock bottom, rocks bottom packs a ravenous catalyst
Sprung arachnid, leashed by the carnal tyrant
I choked when the cage bird sings and stings
Springs me up delirium to stitch the clipped wings
I say instinctively break through while clinging the shrieking souls
Mourning the deaths of fallen ideologues and loss and quality control
Quality control, stand still string up the banner
From the beehive to the anthill; rag dummy
Incorporate the unison of Vikings ship; throw us best of perfection
Of the twice to burn with half the stone throwers, speak your assessment
My communicative, hinderings please the needs
Of a billion hungry victims gripped by the hell that’s left to splinters
Shiving up the mass of natives and it’s league marvels
One component’s sure to shock a mass burial, breeze
Broken penny bank fragments float up at staggered seas
Dirty work plus applicants with chatter box disease
Iron bandit, give them the stars, the head balloons and rubies
Asked for many moons and I can’t stand it any more

[Unknown man]
Is that how I feel when I sling?
And the regulars were so amazed

[Record Scratch in]
I’m the mightiest slinger of them all!
There is a time for war and a time for peace
And a time to run and a time to split
[Record Scratch out]

“Getting dusty in the cellar”

[Verse 2: Aesop Rock]
I don’t run a funny race, malnourished monarchs and loopy astrals
Where 99.9% swivel the broken axels
I built boats of a pack rat bats of bully club swung
Post utility inhalants nail it to stability and sail it
Lopsided Star bird bow crooked mass makeshift
Patching holes with chewing gum and sticking sail to dirty bases
Observe me sitting with my eyes tied to the clock, ‘Cause
I know that once that wind kicks up you and your motors left rope to the dock
And it’s the, art of clarity married to slender extension
Of blue sky of a happy neighborhood
String on my ring has left me dancing like wooden dummies in a paper nature
Marry had a case of door nails, Francis little brittle dolls of paper
In assembly, I tremble with a crocodile smile
Hiding a fish out of water complex provided upon entry
Now if I, were to, hold the speed
To levigate the game plan, would you wanna still impede
I mean I guess, I can just divorce me from the rest
And blame my chemical imbalance for the fact I’ve made a mess
But my loyalty supply hints [?]
And I’m thinking that damn town prior’s about to fill this here bucket
It’s that, grand precious that precious that part of you wants to touch
And part of you just wants to sit and be impressed with
Tainted agony induct in barnacle attachments
Mood swinging upon the barnstorm with perpendicular traffic
Spread, circle 4,000 circuits you burn to cater wings
Above alkadiene Townsman spoon-fed the shadow
I’m tired of being wired into the thief ratio
It’s gnawing a hole through my scheme so I leave (know what I mean?)

[Outro: Unknown man]
It is the molotov cocktail hour
Haven’t I brought you blessings without number?

[Record Scratch in]
They have plenty of nothing and nothing is plenty for them
Yea
I’ve never had it so good
[Record Scratch out]

“Getting dusty in the cellar” [x3]

AESOP ROCK feat. Vast Aire, Yeshua Da Poed – Sinister

[Sample from "Snatch"]
“Do you know what ‘nemesis’ means?
A righteous infliction of retribution
Manifested by an appropriate agent….
Personified in this case by me”

[Aesop Rock]
We’re all in the same gang, bread and butter
Just a couple subdivisions who naturally hate each other
Influences shark biting the fuck outta your brother
Friendship is Professor Plum ratting on Colonel Mustard
You are now witnessing the world’s most craft version
Of a barnstormer, reveal time with a jagged edge
Arm mortars and ?free minds? for a bastard sledge
On the style diamond cutter
Swung before that magnificent havok sketch
You fidget like a nervous culprit gulping
Sweat a bullet, dead a bullshit sequence reactor
Speaking disaster
Who leaped off the canvas to provoke a ?style miner?
Fake as the grass with a sturdy belly and his work to sell me
I got my word to tell you
I got absurd magic
For the forks like pistons pumping through the realm my family habits
(Madder or Rabbit Hat[?] combination)
Nah, more like I’m spitting pixleak dust
Till the mixed vapor community combusts

[Yeshua Da Poed]
I hold words for ransom
Demand some attention pays
Not to mention praise for their release on a page
It might amaze the light of day
I never said I, gave, them all, the fight to be brave
More insight to behave
Raw like them others
Whose ads have been paid for by some brothers
While some of us lie in the eyes of others
I discovered another way to stay undercover
Kill everyone involved, Unsolve
Mysteries, this to me is how to leave matters resolved
Out of this all, you should take a break, ask the fake
Get snatched out your habitat and left on the side of alake
I try to debate
Whether a clean getaway is harder to make
Than a call to the cleaners
Dropped off a seamless bag
Zipped it up with enough cash to pay the cat
With the aqua demeanor

[Vast Aire]
God is a name I call myself
I don’t like Ugly, Original, Synthetic
I breathe rusty air logic
It becomes the lung, the mind is a closet
That is if it’s a walk-in, cuz I’m open
You fell from the clips of weakness, I scoped it
I’ll ball your rhyme up and stuff it inside my mouth
As if this was the first grade…(C’mon man)
And you’ll just stand there
Your eyes’ll water up
And your teeth’ll grind cuz you rhyme first grade
Seeing me is like time, I’m a caged poet
But I think life is more than a jail sentence
That’s why I, took my time
Doing calisthenics which euphemisms to hand out a life sentence
When I rhyme, I put my ass crack in it
And you in a glass bottom boat with a crack in it
So fuck your attitude
My poetry’s position is the sole definition of latitude

“Sinister” [repeated]

“You tell the angels in heaven you’ve never seen
An evil so singular personified as you being hit
In the face by the man who killed you”

AESOP ROCK-Save Yourself

[Verse 1:]
Pull the pin out, sheep creep in wolf garb
Fronted by the Hail Mary parry lunge mixer
Kill the populace for stability, jeopardy’s a stickler
It’s bob and weave amalgam played the falcon to your fixture
I branch out, arms flailing backwards
Wailin upon a tidy sound circuit
Slightly foul Gershwin
With a bed of nails and drumlust plus disgusted service
Workin in shifts opposite the asbestos brain furnace
I be the now observatory eye ear antenna feeler
Spittin like a dragon with a similar demeanor
Stood innocent bystand witness the diehard fans turn Rip Van
In the poppy fields of N.Y.’s orchestrated brick gauntlet
Now I’m thinkin who am I Jabberwocky Superfly bent left
Pushin war without the ten step cushion and what (what)
I plan to hold this beat positive sacred in these golde veins
Until the day I die from grimace overload
It’s shock (it’s shock)
Treatment offered by the weekend
This still be a getaway, let’s display the sequence it goes:
One for the heartless thievery turning my guardian angel harpless
And the rest to sweep the mess under the carpet (under the carpet)
I drag a yellow taxi meter behind every measure
And charge cats for labeling me shepherd
“That’ll be Six Fifty plus tip darlin,
I take cash, credit, check, money-order, gold and cigarette cartons”
Huh, got caught up in the universe tryin to zoom in on stardom
Forgot the passion plus the hatred, both were based in Carbon
Next time you wanna be a hero try saving somethin other than hip-hop
And maybe hip-hop’ll save you from the pit-stop
Kill em all, yield
(naw man It wasn’t me it was Holden Caulfield brother
I just read and pulled the trigger)
Oh God, well leave me to tiptoe past the pearly gates
Capture the halo, jet back to base, step past the chase
The bad taste of jet-lag and weight slackers
There ain’t nothin broken, where you at?
The pistons pump perfect, where you at?
The bass tone is Merlin, where you at?
This service is a urgent workin surgeons
Purging formulas lookin for an improper cause is whack

[Chorus: x2]
What are you saving, honestly? (honestly, honestly)
What are you saving, honestly? (honestly, no honestly)
What are you saving, honestly? (damn)
Promise me you gon shut the fuck up and recognize
What you holdin ain’t really broken?

[Break:]
I don’t flick neeedles like my sick friend (friend)
I don’t march like Beetle Bailey through a quick trend (trend)
I don’t frequent church’s steeples on my weekend (end)
And I don’t comment if you formulate a weak Zen.
All I ever really wanted was a getaway
I’m a take a chance by letting a brook slide for what I got in my hands
I can not agree to follow a leader while on the borderline
A war without a reason for the Brady hates gore
Bring out your dead we can put em in a pile
And burn em with the novels for the kids then to admire
KIll the ones that speak from a different life
Brewin other killer noise makin the sentiment…

[Verse 2:]
Okay, welcome to the Kamikaze bottle rocket cockpit
Live by the icy cold hand of bad intention youth blender
Oh yeah I’ll let God warm the bench for now but
I’ll ascend to spin y’all dizzy
(and for the record I’m bringin my t.v. with me)
Yo, let the commoners speak publicly
Then disperse eye jammies for cats that swear by third pupil
But can’t see past the loophole
Motherfucker, my word is born like Siamese triplets
With doctor, lawyer, rocket scientist promise
(let em grow leisurely)
Hey Mom, I’m a fix without my probe along this path
Once my shpeel’s perfected I’m a save you a seat in the front row
Of Aesop Rock’s twelve steps to shut the fuck up seminar
And when all these bickering crowds turn solid you gon be proud
I tack hacks to the (backboard)
Honesty’s a (latchcord)
Fury’s far from (obsolete)
Serenity’s a (crack war)
Raw caricature of mayhem standard branded by the labor
With a thousand reasons to end this for every one of you saviors
Saw the brightest burst ironically wide from the vacant stage
Gave it a pound for burning where bunk ratio’s engaged
Keep me posted as to when you grasp something mature to
Sit and sulk about mister, and I’ll consider pickin up your record

[Chorus: x2]
What are you saving, honestly? (honestly, honestly)
What are you saving, honestly? (honestly, no honestly)
What are you saving, honestly? (damn)
Promise me you gon shut the fuck up and recognize
What you holdin ain’t really broken?

[Outro:]
The Authors, they ain’t got nothin to save
The Overground, man they ain’t got nothin to save
Def Jux, they ain’t got nothin to save
The Addams Family, they ain’t got nothin to save
Weightless, they ain’t got nothin to save
Stronghold man, they ain’t got nothin to save
Rhymesayers baby, they ain’t got nothin to save
Aesop Rock, I ain’t got nothin to save
It’s like that…

AESOP ROCK feat. El-P & Camu Tao-Rickety Rackety

[Aesop Rock:]
Smack dab in the middle of the cuddles and kills,
Guerilla jimmy city limits with a bucket of pills
Hollring ‘no I don’t immediately ameliorate ‘em
I meet ‘em, greet ‘em, read ‘em, and rate ‘em, see if I hate ‘em

[El-P:]
Here come the hard rock bump through the speaker top
The tweeter meter blew code def hones in
I pack a lunchbox, walk to the stoning,
Jump into the chemicals sold in my zoning
I’m irrational, paranoid, tragic
And the button on my chest says ‘panic’
Punch it, hold up, don’t touch me
I’m a savage from a rabid ass country

[Camu Tao:]
Who want to get it?
You all acquitted
You need to quit it
Getting evicted, you little idiot, pitching tickets
It’s sorta tricky the way you wanna go get your digits
Body you up at the party, somebody get his mistress

[Aesop Rock:]
You take a pitch black lung and a purple heart,
Then you kick back once the inertia start
And when the shipwreck sunk through the perfect dark,
The serpent’s arch alerts every circled shark
See, bloody salt water sounds the h’ors d’oeuvres alarm,
And when the first arm’s found we observe the art
Like a belly-acher won’t kick face to the curb,
Rather kick when the face already raped by the worms

[El-P:]
Tasmanian pain coast, ridin’
Very little to say to these politician behind it, but this:
You better loosen the noose or lose livin’
These little kids walking the ave. quick to produce a biscuit

[Camu Tao:]
Now you should medicate any area that the pain hits
And when you in the streets you should peep the sets of strangers
The actors that are in fact a cast of chaos
They be looking for any situation they can play on
Respectively injecting these thoughts, detain us
Negative speaking, they be creeping, they entertainers
When you out of data they run through a route that’ll save ya
In retrospect, infect and pressing your papers

[El-P:]
I design kill pain cave penmanship
Federal analog hog unedited
With a CUNY degree in young numbness
Angels on the rooftop, gun in they trumpets

[Aesop Rock:]
I was buried to the neck in them all-start bloopers
Periscope down, hop Boss Hog cruiser
Porcelain or pewter authority wil be over ruled the second jukie uber alles news hit the sewers

[Chorus x2: Camu Tao]
Rickety rackety
This city fit my style exactly
With a backspin, and the fat laces, Gazelle glasses, chase rap daily
Rickety Rackety, this city fit my style exactly
Near the train tracks, in the garbage bags, where the cement cracks, we a part of that
Rickety rackety, rickety rackety

[Camu Tao:]
When you take 2 to the vein, introduce 2 to the brain
You don’t get used to the pain. A maniac bruising the cage
When cats rush you in the public you be like ‘do it again’
He’s a motherfucking bloodsucker, he can do what he can

[El-P:]
On the side of the block, do the bus stop
You paying a fare?
That’s a trust fund.
Little ugly ass duck, life’s a fun fuck
Too battered to rush, I walk punch drunk
And the whole world is yours now
Before the steppers are goosed kick your door down
I’m in the getaway whip with Aes Rizzle
He got the same shit stitched in his missles

[Aesop Rock:]
Okay, lefty field… stealth
Dressed to kill… self
Megawatt with a horizontal neck spin swim funny to vertical bobble head yes men

[Camu Tao:]
When the evil falls in it draws to the pours, it gnaws to the core
It’s precedented that you represented a percentage
That wasn’t vintage and the crawlers hate us
You automated, we brought the flavors, niggas you ought to hate us

[El-P:]
And even from antagonity squad the family tissue
Testify the look of my eyes, genuine issue
I’m a freak in the flesh that penetrates lust
Spray the vaginal juices, like I was up in their undies

[Aesop Rock:]
Don’t picket the misfit law, Nancy
The core’s no picnic
Mislead whores advancing
No business
Insist lured with candy to cure citizen x with that all-rours dancing
Corporals landing ashore, all soar boned nitwit, rickety rackety porn fancy
Weave through the hell and high water hot zone,
Diseases in the minute the idiot got home

[Camu Tao:]
Now I’m a teacher, first grade, and I want to participate
I want to grade the papers but I don’t want to give them A’s
Okay, F, D, F minus, test time, set timers
Call every parent and give ‘em a piece of my mind, shit
Cause I don’t want to give a good future, I’ll shoot ya
Shoot ya?
With an uzi filled with rulers
Fuck minors, flush minds
Even leaving ‘em bruised up
Stack kids, pack cute lunches in the cooler

[Chorus: Aesop Rock (Camu Tao) {El-P}:]
Rickety rackety
This city fit my style exactly
With a fireladder, with a wire scheduler, drink for the reek fish, smile after
(Rickety Rackety) {Rickety rackety}
(Rickety rackety, this pussy fit my dick exactly
With a threesome, giving three?
Sex, drugs, girls?,)
Rickety rackety, hold it!
{Rickety rackety}

[DJ Big Wiz scratches'n'cuts]
“Come on!”
