The bully cycles dig the stitch in
Rig the hitch in golden theory
Teary victims walk in slatters(?) like my left eye astigmatism
Lift the bridge and sink
Link the fink divisions ink transmission with a jinx
Instead of tripping off the ways glitter blinks
Sinker
The book had mentioned several separate crafts that mobilize to clash defendants
The end-all installments dissolved in a Class A blemish 'n such
I'm touching oxblood skies over my city which hover in blue disguise
The dry season New York's five reasons flock to the marketplace
Targets chase targets oblivious to if they heart a splash of bull's eye
Kings (Games?) begin, blood, dread and sin
I'm crawlin soft, all of a sudden somethin' feels a little off
I nab a nauseating caution
Peddle on exhausted levels
Lost in identifying the unsure-edness plus the lord of morbid bliss
Tore in the cure that fits
I sit, lit up a lung, thoughts spin as I realize "goddamn, its I against ah"(?)
My name is Aesop Rock,
Bulldozer-brand, exhibit-alpha bad Samaritan
I capsize rubber ducks 'n suck the merit in
Governed beneath the cherished checks and balances routine
I check my balance as routine, check balance in my dreams
(??) (this breed'll?) buckle, flunk, and cling to the wrist
I thread the needle like my knuckle through the ring 'o my fist
Work out the kinks in my wrist,
Weave up a tapestry so large it covered ev'ry inch of sky,
So I cut holes for the stars — look up!
Hook up the speakers,
I cook up another heated dirty lung devotion chokin with the ocean's bottom feeders
And you love it, 76 inches of sound
So ya'll could dig me six feet deep, my eyes'll still be over ground
Now, I've got myself circlin' over these pushers
Each luggin' a bucket of concepts crafted of every shape, element and devious ingredient one could possibly conjure
And I consider my trust sacred, and if by chance it (sneaks/leaks?) in your direction, well,
I've either known you a long time or I'ma see you tomorrow
The daggers that rip that bond are the sharpest
But I'll take that pain, cuz in the long run,
You're prob'ly doin' me a favor
The Dub-L installation swivels to click (my science?) dirty art
Like my lungs upon display'll make the room turn dark
A (poem review?) and a compilation of statements made by critically acclaimed (??) (composers?)
I digress
Wishbone on an Earth hungry for flesh
While tyrants hug upon their broadcast treasure guardians
(Barter frontiers?) 'til stealth remedies mesh
Resident evil
We alone hold current (cycle?) to define
Graceful ascension over
Wasteful intervention
This little pig hides behind his faithful train collection
Bends the tension in trip wires at every landmark
And I guess this marks my family [right?]
I guess this (dark's been charted?) by those (tidal?) fellow artisans
(Who assign, comply under the martyrdom?)
Plank walker, the shark infested waters all turn charlatan
Alive!
(New shears?) for rhetorical inquiries
I dive
I've seen missile (line lies/lives?) fade (in tirading/entire rating?) heckler academies
Divorced from (insipidity?)
And honestly,
I discipline the workers in my colony with glorious intention to live
Just to walk on my home-made suspension bridge
I discipline the workers in my colony with glorious intention to write
Just to walk on my home-made yellow brick height
It's like pillars line these aisles with chrome gates
While (milestones?) wait to trip feet up
Fiddle with thoughts that never led (vague/bay trails?) to victory
Just yesterday my main amigo (Block?) described the (sinuses?)
To pull the (halves/haps which bleed a scene?) on opposite assignments
We offsprings plucked off the worry willow
(??) anonymous
Strokin' tokens of broken promises for hobby
I scrape the pennies out my back pocket for needy drunks
Like low riders scrape their bellies on speed bumps
Purity's the (lure?) and I'm on top
Middle (??) Aesop Rock
I saw the sunlight riding in harmed
And hell, it died right in my arms,
Now I'm breathin' in the evenin', the evenin'...
