lyrics

Who saw that pipeline burst coming?
Keystone Cops surge
Thought we might’ve learned something
Mass mergers, Flat-Earthers and that Birther
Got me feeling like now I've gotta burn something
Or now I gotta bop
Cuz when the big one drops, do you know where Air Force One goes?
Oh, you ain’t heard?
We got curved at the forked road
Tapping out my fingers
That ain’t nerves, that is Morse code
Lots of data locked up in my mind, the thoughts are major
I’m complicated I’m the opposite of Occam’s Razor
My occupation catch my own wave, oscillator
Lots of talk but zero haters out here operators
I’m not mad at you
You lack the juice, aptitude, amplitude
Mad I’m always changing latitudes
Heard every Yelp review and bad excuse
Been around the world and read a hundred years of platitudes
My calendar is missing brake calipers
Two albums in a year and still got one up in the canister
Write a lot of prose, stop to write a little battle verse
You cannot rock it, you’re the 86 challenger
(That’s a science joke)
In a fishbowl, under microscope
Is that how this goes?
I don’t know I just glow disco
Check the isotopes, vitamins and minerals, irons and the niacins
Where I’m going I don’t need a map
Cut the White Whale along the bias
Turn my face to where my demons at
I was out of sight again, chasing my Leviathan
Bodies hit the ground
Ask David where Goliath went
I’m what happens when you fall apart completely
Put the pieces of yourself back together a la cart
So know that when you see me
I’m a piece of walking art
I read the writing on the wall before I let the talking start
Most of you should do the same
But who am I to say
Last days, fast lane
Bombs from Pyongyang might touchdown
Then it’s ball game
’Til then I’m rapping by my last name
And the name remains certified
Rain came and fertilized pain that I’ve internalized
I rap about my inner-state
I am in a different place
You're out here for some insta fame, selfie with your kissy face
Icky
I rock a rhyme on time, it’s tricky
Get it busy, strictly
Before city owned by Disney
Miss me like New York is missing Biggie
Like the Wolves are missing Ricky
I hope they sell the team to Diddy
Easy easy pick a beat and eat it
Eenie meanie pick a flow
Me and P.O on that misanthrope pick and roll
Stick and poke, show you what the litmus shows
Ain’t a difference from the blue blood and indigo
But what’d you figure though?
I think you thought you’d figured it, but you’re too literal
Long winter, tell me something that I didn't know
Three shots straight scotch
How I’m living though
These Old Styles ain’t working, Tom Thibodeau
But they don’t hear me though
They’re just posturing
All this costuming could cost us our oxygen
I could go on, but the kid’s going off again
I just lay in the cut
And then foster my consciousness
Read Faster Wallace and shake off the haziness
In a place that celebrates the stupidest and laziest
Confuses prejudice with Patriot
Pray we live past the President’s hastiness
But honestly what bothers me is thought is obsolete
Taught we’re free while getting walked on the tautest leash
Blinded by the Panoply
By the light of Dioceses
By the sword of Damocles
But am I supposed to do, leave abandon ship?
Please.
I’ll take the keys to it, throw some D’s on
Lean with it, get the v6 engine revving, peeling
I’ll be kneeling while they pledge allegiance
I mean to each his own thesis
But I’d rather build from pieces
So I’ll leave this right here
Never saw I fake that I couldn’t recognize
And I never met a word that I wouldn’t weaponize
