I don't go on nobody signal, I don't signal, I just go
Another rain-checked one for the road
Uncrustable king, paint-pen tucked in the coat 
Amen, ghost in the cold AM, play dead
But awake to float and say less, say when
Oh the saints of mayhem ain't obey no tech, ok bet
Code names get thrown around between clubhouses with secret knocks
Leap froggin' these tent fires, I'm no-face at the dream spot 
With the fly hand, clean block lettering peacock feathering
Canary yellow, Zelda green, blueberries in heavy cream
Yes, vendetta messenger, get to the boys you b-line with
“He's autographed our street signs, plus a paw print from the Klee Kai mix”
Hydrangea gatorade, a half-a-dozen scratch-offs
Then I'm back in black, attack attack, it's Mac the Knife, on Darryl Mac
It's black and white, with passers-by upsetting every active rat 
That's aptly trying to drag his Laffy Taffy thru some traffic jam
That type of shit will have the kid distracted from the offering
A city's baptism, y'all, walk with me


Where the sky is falling, and the walls are bleeding
And the wires are crossing (Walk With Me)
Where the ground is sinking and the pipes are freezing
And the nights appalling (Walk With Me)
I don't go on nobody signal, I don't signal, I just go
(Walk with me)
I don't go on nobody signal, I don't signal, I just go

I've got, 2 different silvers in the utility belt
Like twin flames for the same hands from the pillory
Out in the grid of infinity smells 
Hooded figure, sniffing markers, chewing ginger, missing marbles
Cookie monsters with conflicting dharmas
I'm moving contra to existing markets, in the mood to conquer
Rah rah, sonic boom, it's my nom de plume on y'alls roof in lava
You could see it from the moon
I could even wait, heat a cup of soup
Feet up on the table, eat a couple shrooms
Eat a couple more, meet up in a few
You could be like “Yo I feel like such a dork” 
I could push a button, see you through the floor 
Night-crawlers in fine form, off flying saucers
That's not a final warning it's a final offer for the first-time caller, last-time caller
Capsized in that phat glow from this black light
I might short cut through Magic 5, I got more ups in the after life, and that's for You, can't even rest in peace in peace 
Tag the gates of heaven, so my name is still a presence at your meet and greet 
He he he, crystal ball, he hits the wall a hawk to meat
No vault safe, no off days, walk with me


Where the sky is falling, and the walls are bleeding
And the wires are crossing (Walk With Me)
Where the ground is sinking and the pipes are freezing
And the nights appalling (Walk With Me)
I don't go on nobody signal, I don't signal, I just go
(Walk with me)
I don't go on nobody signal, I don't signal, I just go

We don't stay close to the flame 
we get ghost, weave those lanes 
We don't know to obey
It's ok if you do, please don't change

We don't stay close to the flame 
we get ghost, weave those lanes 
We don't know to obey
It's ok if you do, please don't change

Suit of calluses, active and moving callous
Anomaly in the algorithm, do the algebralculus
I'm all of Alexandria's information in aggregate
Ruling elder giving you the hell that melt the valuables 
Riddances, grid at my back I'm in the diagonals 
Evolving, shiv in his back he shatter the manacles 
Man down, damnit can he manage the variables 
Manually override these overnight Emmanuels
Man, m-m-m-mayday, it's the tapering of the straightaway
The making of a bedlamite, the straightening of the theta wave 
Working on a way to cure this sudden inexplicable 
Urgency to secure a sure-shot-shaped paperweight 
Pay the man, simultaneously in survival mode 
And looking like a hundred violations of the firecode 
Designed to die alone moments out the styrofoam
But not before these no names go the way of the dial tone, don't

Staring at the sun until one us blinks
When it does I'm running for the tunnels, hater blood in the Krink
Bloody hell, everyday I wake and one-up a king
Whose kingdom come to refer to me as “you wonderful thing”
One of the filthiest fish in the azure
Cut a political actor to particulate matter
Should it present as a pattern put the pig out to pasture
This ain't that action figure in the original package, we in the shit with the taggers Bastards and bullies and baddies, and bitches and bummers 
Who shuffle out of the shadows with the limbs of another
Trapjaw's head, Stay-Puffed arms and the cape of Vader
Over rollerblading Barbie with a bow from Hank the Ranger
Bullseyein' danger, I'm a surgeon at 70 yards
As long as the target is not a Snellen chart
Hello from some hell and back to autograph an x-mark 
Leaving the treasure for the next man, the best part, don't

Don't show up at the get down talking that holy as if you ain't hell-bound
Similarly don't show up at the get up, talking that hellish 
As if you ain't blessed up, just just don't


I'm on a higher kinda of prowess
I'm somewhere in the melee while I'm somewhere doing tai chi on a mountain
Only out of bed to pick the lock and smuggle in his Visigoths
Who'd love to redesign the hillside little box by little box
Or get these businesses to page a stranger on they intercoms
The kind that sound real 'till you realize they did you wrong
Oh this is definitely checkers I don't play chess
I sack a city, atlases actually weigh less
After, mermaid leather in the truck
It's only in poor taste if you ain't never been the one
Pickle the hand of whoever signal his mans
That's a 5-wick candle and a bib in the sand 
My advice is: don't approach him whether sobbing in the copy room
Or eating hot pretzels in the mezzanine at Nas and Wu 
Or at the hobby shop with Hanni copping model glue
Or meeting Bobby at the Bronx zoo, don't

Don't show up at the get down talking that holy as if you ain't hell-bound
Similarly don't show up at the get up, talking that hellish 
As if you ain't blessed up, just just don't

My dog has blue eyes, cat grew supersize
Wig to my L2, It's something in the food dye 
Human spit and vinegar funneled to the amygdala 
Miss him with all the funny stuff, mission control to viscera 
Come in viscera, guess I'm a little clocked out, 
Shop-Vac always on, visitors have knocked for hours, 
It's fingers in the ears and singing ABC for adults, 
And look at that, I haven't seen y'all in months, 
These are repeatable results, and a pulse in the dead meat sea, 
I'm not dead yet, beep beep beep, beeeeeeeep, 
JK, If you celebrated we will check the tape, shame shame, 
Famous paintings shoot from his fingers to wake and make a day, 
Like Bargehaulers on the Volga drowning you in late Monet 
Or maybe Sysyphus from Titian with a save the date
For twisting you the Francis Bacon way

My dog has blue eyes, cat down to 2 lives 
Other cat chose violence, good times
Movie night, sound down, studio an urgent care
Sample surgeon, working out the drums with an inverted chair
Thwack! serve 'em rare, and paired with a warm brie 
Pears from the side yard, honey from el Coro's bees
The one-man-40 thieves, leave the party wearing 40 pairs of Jordan 3s 
Lord, wait a week and send a bill for storage fees 
And some quarters, and a quarter mile of worry beads
If it please the court, back on fat tires 
Headed for the red sun, charros in the cast Iron
Ask, land pirates at 'em, flanked by vampire bats with irregular flight patterns Night master, author of light scattered 
Maybe do try to move like it matters, the people say

What kinda dog is that?  What kinda dog is that?  
That's a mutt,
What kinda dog is that?  What kinda dog is that?
It's 5 dogs in one, 
What kinda dog is that?  What kinda dog is that?
That's a good boy

My dog has blue eyes, cat less lupine
Punks looking paper thin, I say the shit two times
Punks looking paper thin, it isn't worth the blunt force
Or even paperclip and real estate up in the junk drawer 
Running with scissors and the wisdom of the rivers
From the wind that shiver timbers to whatever melt the swimmers
Traffic and weather reported from child vandals
We tell them to be careful, aware they are wild animals
Who leap tall buildings and write the manuals
Follow where the names drip, you can see the knowledge of the ancients
Arms length from the lord of the car graveyard
Who bout to charge the hill in a cart from H-mart
Saved, ain't that something
2 board boxes in the trunk, it's like the ark of the covenant
Every cloud of smoke I blow come with a dove in it
I hope you're ready for rumble strip, again

What kinda dog is that?  What kinda dog is that?  
That's a mutt,
What kinda dog is that?  What kinda dog is that?
It's 5 dogs in one, 
What kinda dog is that?  What kinda dog is that?
That's a good boy

Starry night, guided by the guard rail 
Dark rider, ride up on a car-sized garden snail
Double park, special deliver his own barf-mail
I ain't heed the call you sent, it's smart to fail to call again
I'm harm's way incarnate, shooting marbles at your army men 
Who hardy har'd and met the architect of horrid REM 
Sorry, I love the smell of markers in the 4AM
And drawing giant letters on whatever signage force the hand
How the corner camera had him back in his lobby
When all his calls ping a tower in the Valley of Gwanji, eh? 
Body double obvi, I'm one who is two
No I am one who is one who is just too much for the cube
I know the “what if” you mull would undo the bubble you blew
What if I tell you I am everywhere at once and it's true?
I'm playing chess with Picasso, I train to fight with the champ 
I'm dealing cards to a martian, I'm shooting dice with the Lamb 
Modern science hasn't figured out what's triggering the super-strength
But also hasn't seen him eat a pepper that he grew himself
Hydroponic veggie garden, strawberry vine goin pop
My bok choy look like sideshow bob 
My salsa recipe is kept in a safe 
Sharpest teeth on the block, anyone who disagree is a bot
Yo, anyone who isn't me is a cop
He the all-season, seasonal fog, Aes Rock in effect

E -f-f-e-c-t
All city, all star, all land, air, sea
Hand to the most low, always in motion
Cargo on the slow boat, called to the quotient 
E -f-f-e-c-t
All I do is get lost, get found, get free
Crawl down broadway, stinking like flat black
Slalom through the pup tents, puppy in the back pack

Bogey to bogey, pony up
Posy for the pocket of any remotely chosen one
Folk about face in missing man formation
A fancy way to say you're 0 and 1, so much for your Logan's Run
And future saying no to drugs, future saying yes to emotional donut runs
Or any UFO that comes
Poor thing, I know that take a loss and wave a saucer down
Like take me to anywhere but the office or the lost and found
At the lost and lost, free to scrap the vector
Anti-matter ain't about to bat a signal back to sender 
Fed the tracker to a fish and the fish to a bear
Check the body cam is on once you're physically there 
Where all it take is a theatre major to be the mayor
All it take is Anita Baker to keep us anchored
That “Same Old Love” in summer get the average hermit
Feeling he or she could lift a hummer off a trapped person
Crossword killer of EWR's terminal A
Gate 20 on eternal delay
In hour 2 all of my letters are curling up from the ledger
Circling above us, spelling out the terms of my surrender
I been showing up too early for that shift in your Js
I do the mile, have a witness play the vid when you wake
Catch him playing hooky from the whole abysmal charade
I'm at the crib watching Video Days, homeboy in effect

Aesop Rock Verse:
Romper roomer stock the cooler for the rendezvous
Pop the cooler, shot the rocket fuel in pamplemouse
I'm Rocky 10, type to watch a comet hit the common room
Rock a “stop the violence” tee, and pocket dial the Babadook Comic-con-quistador, kamikaze, commonly 
Referred to as the architect of modern lighthouse keeper-core 
Ease into the graveyard shifting
State-of-the-art safeguard crippling,  crimson king 
Deep breath, poke his head up out the lobby 
Check both ways, cheat death, any fugazi
Chia pet on parade, in whichever Gardens of Eden
You merely swivel the camera to see are part mausoleum 
I am positively cold
Operatives like pennies in a pocket with a hole that we are dropping as we go
Knocking over what we must, piranhas to the bone, 
In under 60 seconds flat, Can you honestly say no?

10 AM in the fog feeling anxious, 10 PM in the same exact fog feeling dangerous
Dangerous, Dangerous, Dangerous, Dangerous 
10 AM in the fog feeling anxious, 10 PM in the same exact fog feeling dangerous

Plate-spinner off a late dinner 
One fallen plate away from a date with the plague bringer 
One away from drugged-up in a cage
Or all the fun in the world succumb to sudden malaise 
When his ship come in what a run-in
Rutter bugging, sail sliced up, somebody “would you mind if i cut-in'd”
Would've in the young, wild and stubborn
But, honestly the current version might invite the upend
Auburn sky with multiple suns comp'd in 
The rising and setting steady referencing John Venn
Assembling these momentary overlapping super suns
Beautiful but lumens ain't some renewable two for one to fool with 
Fire with fire is not a great fight
Fire and fire is on the same side
A lotta history there, a couple novas even
Hard to see a closed circle in the throws of open season, but, so be it

Don't look down, come sit still, let things fall

Cro mag at the park with a bag of birdseed
Stolen hand-warmers, flag of world peace
Street Roots word puzzle crusher, on commercial feed
Circumvent the tall man, searching for eternal peace
Nervous from the service, it make him the perfect worker bee 
To what end, to what even is biodiversity
I mean, 4 walls, all hours, no change of clothes 
Low waterline, dry whole grain oats
Whole worth wrapped in what you can make with your bare hands
When sitting independent of the greater square dance
And whether after all the smoke clear and flares vanish 
It can actually make another's arm hair stand 
Well, can it? Soul Blade or Old Maid
I'm somewhere in the middle pretty fizzled on the whole charade
Still mixing up the stolen with the homemade
Rapping for my life, and being difficult to locate, so be it 

Don't look down, come sit still, let things fall

On his second Arabica, hecka hackles up
Edging outta latency, take me to the miraculum
Backing off the b-team, blacking out name tags 
Never name a rabbit you apprehend for the game-bag 
Rabbit after rabbit, I'm backlogged
I'm bag over shoulder, handing rabbits out to pack dogs 
Santa clause, unbowed, running from the un-fun 
Get about as far as the bodega and my lungs are done
Did the same shit yesterday 
And the day before, oh for heaven's sake, 
You can't just coach someone to “go out there and resonate” 
You go out there hoping the residents already ate 
Revenant, flare gun, life straw, tinder-sticks
Headed for the leopard's mouth, who let him out he isn't chipped
They shoulda never let him out the chrysalis
Shit If it's really wilderness on wilderness on wilderness 
So Be It

Don't look down, come sit still, let things fall

Ok, fuck all that bullshit though
I'm picky, I only open books that glow
Whodunnits and cozy mysteries, who stole the crypt keys 
Who showed the minions to the minced meat, it was me
Hut hut, helmet off, blitz the whole bitstream 
Override the A/V in, with A/V out the in-between
IV in, 1 of Epi, 1 of Ralph Steadman
Phoebe Judge, EPMD, the Amazing Kreskin
His bag is a braided bread, in the oven for 30 days
It's never the same twice, it's always a perfect bake
It's purple prose when you're looking for just the facts
You wanna know where I been, some other where nothing's mapped
Lost at the Waldbaums, faded facing 30-thousand square feet of wrong aisle Long Isle, strong man, roll up in a Pontiac siege tower 
Fire an arrow 45 degrees down
Accounting for the breeze
I can do that shit where you nock two arrows at once 
And shoot to counter separate things
I can hit a moving target from a moving target
It's a rabbit from an equine, it's an ET from a starship
The stoicism only misdirection for the metrics
It doesn't represent the actual pressure through the plexus 
Or that maybe why I'm terrible with names is cause I'm special
At memorizing the exits during those same seconds
I jumped into a volcano
Climbed up, only to say my today is not on no today show
All recorded history is forfeit to the fuego
It's infinite present tense, presently on some next
Referencing something ancient that play to current events 
In a way that feels just too flagrant to've occurred by itself 
I know that sound absurd as all hell
I don't even know what I'm saying for certain, surely it's “help”, uhhhh help?

Same bat-time, same bat-channel 
Same flatline, same plaid flannel 
Same bad gamble, same graf name on the ax handle
Brand new taxidermied mammal on the mantle
Man, man, I ain't sneaking by the sleeping bear
I mean, if you ain't down to let it eat you, why you even here? 
Pigeon on my shoulder like a goth Rio
The putdown Picasso here to un-massage the ego
I'm friend or foe depending on the content in your keynote
And not above the lobbing of a rotten tomatillo
Honestly, it's getting hard to watch like paradise for parking lots 
Nevermind that parking lots are paradise, the paradox
Oh the places you'll go and exploding aerosols
The running with a boiling beaker in a pair of tongs 
Drink a shot of ant and roach, eat a bowl of Cherry Bombs 
With peri-peri, no, with chimi-churri sauce 
Boyhood drawing b-boys with big sneakers
Til the shoe fit, now they pouring plaster in the foot print
Take it to the lab, show the cast to the bull pen
All you get is choruses of “I call bullshit”
That's how a giant flyeth under the radar for so long
Y'all underestimate the day-arc I'm on
The stay dark at dawn, carnival barker, the autumn Barbisol marksman
The can up the arm of his Nautica parka
At large, from playing dig dug at the IHOP
To undead 3-inch-punching a pine box
To, magus of the month, 3 months standing
In more than magenta, yellow, and Cyan Ink
It's a wave, it ebb and it swellIt could celebrate the memory or separate the cells
it could focus on excelling or accentuate the Hell
That's excellent, Can it send help? Cuz uhhhh… help

We had a visiting artist in the winter of '96 
Who came to talk about his paintings and the shit that make him tick
I think his name was John something
John Something 

If at the assembly you're allowed to cut the class
I was sunk into the bucket, yellow puffy on my lap
Bring on John something
John Something

Hot blooded art freaks take the auditorium
3/4s boorish, 1/4 primordia
Keen to absorb the stories of veteran picture-makers
Even if an unfamiliar name and face or mystery flavor 
Say, John something who was punctual to the podium 
Visibly uncomfortable, having trouble focusing 
Noticing we're noticing, he pardons the glitch 
Says I'm sorry but it's vital I depart from the script 
To where? you had one job 
John something, something's wrong with John Something 
Something's on his mind, he been searching for the words 
Even standing at the plate, I ain't anticipate the curve 
He go, “Last night I saw this new documentary 
And I can not understate the extent to which it's affected me”
I'm on the edge of my seat
He said it's called  “When We Were Kings”

This was 1996 
He was there to show some photos that would demonstrate his gift
I think his name was John something
John Something
If at the assembly you were seeing something new 
I'm new fan before even seeing what he do
Bring on John something 
John Something

When We Were Kings is a documentary feature
On the '74 US heavyweight boxing championship
That's commonly referred to as the Rumble in the Jungle 
Where you come to punch or die, as neither party's crying uncle
The champ George Foreman, vs the kid Mohammad Ali, in Zaire
And other politics involved in the affair
Including rare footage leading up to the event 
Plus, interviews with VIPs remembering the effects
So Mr. Something up there, present as it gets
Talking Ali and his confidence begetting his success
But almost referenced as a magic or some extrasensory “X”
That he had witnessed and was duty-bound to tell to someone else 
Us, and truly I was hung on every sentence
Though it probably lasted longer than intended, it felt genuine
If a little strange 
30 minutes in we have yet to see what you paint, look

January 96 
He was there to share his work, maybe guide us through the mist
I think his name was, hmmm
John Something 
If at the assembly you were tripping off the tangent,
But also like “I need to see this flick it sounds fantastic” 
Or so says John something  
John Something

Low on time
John starts blowing through his slides
They were ultimately fine 
But the takeaway is praise for this entirely other mind
I'm at the movie theatre, this was Boston 1996 
20 years of age, I'm an 80's Mike Tyson kid
We heard about that legendary clashing of the titans 
But could never have contextualized the metrics or environment 
Until, 90 minutes of history
And images and music, I was riveted infinity
That walk out different than you slithered in
Every atom in you shifting, christened in the river shit
And I still revisit it, this week winter came
Cued it up, hit play, it felt like someone visited 
Any time I pay it forward
I say “this was recommended by one of my favorite artist”, ummm

This person who in 1996
Gave the only artist lecture I've remembered ever since
I think his name was James…
John something 

If at the assembly and were headed for the theatre
You should put your hands together for the greatest ever speaker
He may or may not be named John
John Something

Nose too, I'm too cold

I can make two penguins share a cab 
I can make 9 reindeer have to quit
Even old man winter won't dap the kid
I'm just too cold, I flash freeze
I breathe glass, I crack trees
Ice cream man, snow falls 
When my song plays from that dream van
I'm brick, sled dogs going on strike
Snowmen going inside, snow cat stuck
Summertime snowing all night
Wardrobe frozen in time
Extremities numb, frosty, I beat the heat
That strawberry field bout to meet the freeze 
Y'all ain't cold, y'all luke warm
Too cold is my true form
I'm too cold, pack gloves
Door knobs just snap off 
I'd bring fire, I'd ski on back
I'd ski to space, I'm freon man
Freeze, jump up, joust the windmill
How's that negative a million windchill
Sit still or I sit still ya
In cold blood, with a hint of silver
I'm too cold, I'm too cold 
I put Yukon Cornelius on hold
Bold, cold is the one true god 
How I'm so cold, cold had to get a new job
Hmm…and a new name
They call him Cool Breeze, he ain't never been the same
Always staying up late and checking the weathervane
In vein, snowy owl feather in the mane
That's too cute, but I'm too cold
I play Cold Crush on my cool phone
I cold plunge, that hot tub is just fools gold
I wear cool clothes

Beauty braid the beast hair 
And bring him chicken pelmeni in the fake Eames chair
I need Sade on a speaker in need of repair 
The same way all God's creatures need air
Feed 4 fish and a snail I was told hitched
I said “make yourself at home”, he been multiplying since
Counted 15, there's a new one every time
Like you lend a friend your jeep and he go use it in a crime
You told me you was going to Costco
How they found it later in a pond outside Chicago
Why you only holler when it's contra in the foxhole
Why you never pop in with some tacos and an Optimo?
Lasa Apso Rock, I'm not just a phase
I'm at the spot in pajamas til im a notch on a blade
You in some shit, you hit the hip, I get the rockets engaged
Now how does one see a solid, and one a polymer clay? 
Huh? the job is not the dock of the bay
I know that's not a popular take
I'm down to bottle shit up but I guess it got me today
I seen the cat break a vase and I broke my bottle the same
Look, peak into what's popping beyond the event horizon
It's a war on dirty dishes to a blur of Ken and Mayim
I'm jealous of that Mrs. Meyers lemon-lime alliance
They been friends since like forever, always effortlessly vibing 
I ain't lyin, the crib is an A/V club
Butterfly a piece of tech, liberate the weed crumbs
See me to a tedium, dress it as meditation
Being lost in repetition, is what get us through the ch-ch-ch-ch- changes
Aes is plain aimless, long day of ricocheting at the wrong angles
All the way dazed it's part of what make him dangerous
Particle man, party with straight to VHS Ey!! 
Brought up on some always at the ready, for collect cal
l from “it's Aes i'm at the mall come get me”
Pre-celly when both of our time mattered
And you ain't have to probe or notice some kinda pattern
The nose knows well in advance of the geiger counter
If something's in the air, when compared to the prior encounter
It isn't Incommunicado, it's a lotto
Even if you buy a ticket, you lucky to win a convo
Or a visit, lemme catch you up on the crib
I got a palm in the corner about as tall as the kid
I got a fig in this other corner, it's dwarfing the palm
A tiny peak into the florals we been hoarding at home
Homes, hunchback of Rome, get the cane raised
Even aged to a jump-scare away from the grave 
Yea, 2 can play cave

Yo, you could pull a rabbit out a hat, that's tricky
I know where there's 12,000 birds in a chimney
Your kinda witchcraft take a lot of practice
My kinda witchcraft show up in the atmos
Yo, sent you a pin
And a date in September, lemme pencil you in
You could spend the whole summer hiding birds in your coat
But come one fall eve, 6:30 on the nose
On a grassy knoll, by a school of brick
I'll be sipping something diet with a lime on the rim
I'll be slicing up a kiwi bout the size my fist
About to put you on the science of the migrating Swift
You like “I didn't come for science,I had come for a trick”
You had come for some magic, dummy, shut-up and sit
There's a couple thousand other people doing the same
To see a miracle, smoke and mirrors ruins the frame
I'm saying yo, you could Link solid metal rings, that's tricky 
10 birds circling a middle school dizzy
Choosing a location to pause along the route
To Venezuela well away from the frost 
Yes yes yall, I'm fried y'all

Vaux's Swifts, loyal to the neighbors, for example
This chimney been a favorite since the 80s
By 7 it was several hundred birds
The show is a slow burn, though it only take a moment to turn
Here a thou, there another 
Synchronized swimmers doing aerials above us
A prayer for the lovers, catch this
Your kinda witchcraft take a lotta practice
My kinda witchcraft ain't about distraction
Yo, focus on the throwdown
Sorcery so absurd even Merlin had his phone out
7:15 like a Sistine Chapel
Wearing particle effects projected to seem natural
Sunset jaw-dropping avian performance
The patterns are mathematics, the algorithm enormous
And growing, headline, not to be foul
Reads: earth mother posterizes wands into flowers
And yo, you could turn a wand into flowers, that's tricky
Over 10k cyclone above the city
Your kinda witchcraft take a lotta angles
My kinda witchcraft witness to the angels
You could levitate a volunteer, that's tricky
12 stacks hit the tornado in a tizzy
An act the likes of which we've
Never seen even when there's nothing up the sleeve
Yes yes y'all, I'm starving

Yo, the funneling of swifts into brick 
Cylinders is seriously some mystical shit
I mean, dare I say astonishing
Fuckit I'm a say it, it's astonishing
That's truth stranger, that's a true banger
Plus, they put the show on everyday for month
Now I appreciate my card has found its way to the top of the whole deck
But homie you just can't make this shit up
As for the homie I showed, I remember smoke from the ears
I heard he had to move home, hasn't spoke in a year
Well shit, that's not supposed to happen
Then again that's classic action re-action 
Yo, you can pull a rabbit out a hat that's tricky
12,000 birds disappear into a chimney
Your kinda witchcraft take a lotta practice
My kinda witchcraft show up in the atmos yo

My lady moved in, I picked her up a gift 
A miniature aquarium and trip to get some fish 
3 Green Tetras, one Scarlet Badis
And a touch of plant life, some live, some plastic
Got the stuff home, put it in the tank
Everyone is thriving, it's a lively little gang
A few weeks pass when plain and clear
I hear “oh my god, there's a snail in here!” 
Whut? I feel as if she's gotta be mistaken
As we do not have a snail, granted she knows what a snail is 
I make my way over, and position for the glare
I'm looking at a snail that wasn't previously there
Hmmmmm, I feel I'm being pranked
But if magic is the reason then really I think it's great
My girl on her computer reading animal facts:
“A snail egg can hitch a ride into your tank on a plant”… 
You motherfucker 


But wait there's more…

I'm looking at the snail, he seems pretty pleasant
we figure let him kick it as honestly shit's impressive
A couple weeks pass, I hear another gasp 
7 more snails have appeared on the glass 
How? Determined to Identify the guests 
When I stumble on a column of common invasive pests 
And boom, the number one offender on the pile: 
The Bladder Snail, known to stowaway and multiply
Plus a self-compatible hermaphrodite
That means the kids will never have to hear the parents fight
We went away for a week, came home to a scene
Snail population up in the teens
This was weeks ago already It's been getting extreme
We are well over 30, but murder isn't my thing
While the fish have been patient, the situation's  a bummer
They be staring at the snails, then, staring at each other like… 
These motherfuckers

But wait there's more

I figure let 'em kick it, I figure let 'em kick it, I figure let 'em kick it

I figure let 'em kick it, I figure let 'em kick it

Folk tell the kiddo, “I think i'm missing some info
Just clean the tank and throw the fucking snails out the window”
Look, I guess I don't know how to shut the door
When snail zero been here as long as the other 4
I get the reputation as a blight on the tank
But I ain't shoveling 'em out of what they rightfully claim
Even if I was able to one day snag 'em and bail
Exactly fuck I'm supposed to do with a bagful of snails
'Oh here comes crazy old Aes-y, holding his bagful of snails
He also bark at the traffic and drink his tab from a grail'
Not doing it, I love those fish 
I love those snails, coexist 
I think about the day it eventually overflows
And fills the whole apartment, then fills the whole of Rome
A reckoning is upon us, a decision must prevail
A sensible re-homing or… Snaaiiillsss!

Trouble takes many forms, in-between shedding skin
Some are subtle, some are semaphore holding severed limbs 
Some in extra innings, seven-seven, no one ever win
Propeller hats in motion, no actual developments
Impatient ember adding a splash of his own accelerant
I'm to the races, sorting through the few the future favors
It's, those of you that let the pooch chew through the computer cables
And grow food based on the lunar phases
Who maneuver right, I'm snoopy on the roof at night
Staring at the canopy, like can I peak into the light
Or am I needed here at home, a human being supervised
Stupefying overseers, zoom in on the pupil size
Choose your fighter them or me or everyone vs. entropy
The only ever undefeated zero artificial intel, NPC
Or that's the tendency, a bullet train to randomness
That started out successfully, and ended at abandon ship
Ok I'm mostly here to catch the wave
Somewhere between the Etta James and psycho killer ques que ce
Check the resume of monkey wrenches into engine bays
And total hours ascending at some unrelenting MPH
I break at MLK and terra incognitus
Where the sidewalk ends at lenses eyeing terrifying genius
And it smells like something holy put a L up for his peoples 
Pizza from that one spot, hello from the zenith
No response, so far
Bowl of the Gods, the color of Violet Beauregard
Dr. No cigar, I hand nothing out to nobodies with no regard
There is not a satellite of any worldly origin 
That point to a location this impossibly inordinate
Meanwhile somewhere that you haven't tried
Rumors of a round table breaking up the staff of life… 
Yeah, shit is  jazzercise 

Homeboy Sandman Verse:
However you consider the kid
Won't find me sitting rhythmless watching a vid of a vid
How many pics before the difference 'tween a pit and abyss? 
I'm in the mix without a logo on the fit or the lid
The mercenary thrown and parrying fists
Fighting the various nefarious kitsch
That's known for marrying rich 
Not of the ilk that's always milking a fib
Mumbling guff, my infrastructure wasn't built on a grid
I'm just taking me a shot in the dark
But if you never taken off to take a walk in the park
And more concerned about the take instead of making a mark
Being seen instead of sweet, you're not deserving of a seat on the ark
Skedaddle while I channel the source
Skedaddle while I channel the sauce, boss 
As a youth I's always hooping on the main courts
Cats be souped up but a soup is not a main course
Love, hope, pain, loss
These are just a couple of the issues that I don't force
Technically “couple” means two
Guess I mean few, I review
I know you're feeling hollow from following these fools
Get wit the mister fix it that don't even need tools
Really what in the devil? cats ain't on my level
They are gonna need stools, enough being cool
I know it's cruel but might be time to drain some gene pools
Abolish and demolish fake and use the real estate to build schools
Somebody gotta make the right moves 
Set the right moods, Lice rules
I got some great news
This time I'm going viral, I just shot some great nudes
I'm so fly I just ate dehydrated space food
For real. This is buns of steel

Lupe Fiasco Verse:

Take a break from Persecuting idolatry
In the countryside with hunting knives as it runs and hides
Cuz I wanna try and hold it by the underside
Then jump and dunk a pumpkin pie, stuff a stocking with a Thunder thigh
I want to put things into things 
Principally in vitro fertilize kings into queens 
What you mean what it means
I just like to write brothers like wings on machines
It's suspicious like Marines on they deens
If you pull up a Better-Than-They-Are-Dar, I'd be a ping on screen 
Pong Bar! On the turntables like a Pyongyang Ping Pong All Star
Smoking on an all tar Malbar (Marlboro)
Hot box y'all talking like it's y'all car
Driving with drivers in the backseat like a golf cart
Man, if y'all start, I'll divide this place like it's a Walmart
That's low hanging fruit 
All my lines come with old dangling boots
Don't park in a tow spot
And yet I walk around with my heel in the toe box with no socks 
with a Princess, and a yeti
And a old golden robot, a Dr Schols 
with a hole cuz hiking took a toll I mean a whole lot
The other looks like it's whole life it's been fighting foos 
Like Dave Grohl got stole on and cold cocked 
With the tongue of cobra and the sole of a pol pot
Side bar I really want that old watch that looked like gold rocks 
Hit me in the comment section with directions if you know a spot 
And if they lying somebody reply to that comment with a “No it's not” 
In regards to flattery like an open pop 
It's a battery with a broken dock 
It's not a Rollie, sweating to the oldies

Used to pair cereal and cartoons, I don't know if there's a better way
Now I'm going hungry in a war room, it's similar but it is not the same

When I walk in be cool
No sudden moves, only coming thru to refuel
Be forewarned: my skin reads as steel wool
Hook hand with a haymaker on a shopping spree into your gene pool
I might change into y'alls dad's eyes, looking disappointed in the real you
Son, that's ushering some abominable milieu in
That kill off any climate we put time into, mildewin'
Tilt sensor on get defensive, I's weeding through the some old highlight reels
Hindsight is like trying to prune the amazon back to one bonzai tree
When I walk in be easy, sign the contract, no eye contact
No-eyed tomcat in a “Free Emile” tee, no ID, I'm so unwieldy
I'm, over the river, I'm into the woods, recruiting the pick of the iffiest wolves
Who fittingly follow me back to the city, to butcher a dinner with hooves
Lo-fi's most high, I'm the most low,  mind the go code
Mind the driveway to your giant show boat 
Ya might just show up to a private toll road
You might, pay to attain what you already own
It's part of trend, it's part of the start of the end
Or maybe it's farther along then we outta pretend

Used to pair cereal and cartoons, I don't know if there's a better way
Now I'm going hungry in a war room, it's similar but it is not the same
Be Cool
Be…Cool

When I walk in be calm
Hands on the table, cameras on and playing recon
Be forewarned, my skin reads as pete moss
GT's that spin kick the most harmonious pea pod
That heart rate go adagio to some Art Blakey-day bebop
In no time at all, these 2 palms touching, charging up that fireball
Knees bent, nerves worn, nose bleeding, perfect form
Ears bleeding, eyes bleeding, this ain't just some ordinary parlor trick
It's perfect storming, board up your apartment shit
When I walk in be low key, don't trust no one, don't mind the pundits
Stink-eye for these guy smileys, if you love something, you don't like nothing That's not opinion, entertainment go spin the bottle 'til you kiss the mamba
I'm ten thousand hours In-a-gadda, with 10 shades of Les Miserables
Information battering the senses
Here we see the mamba eating something fatter than its neck is
Which is also entertaining, he had to take off the necklace
Maybe everybody's destiny's defending something selfish, yea 

Used to pair cereal and cartoons, I don't know if there's a better way
Now I'm going hungry in a war room, it's similar but it is not the same
Be Cool
Be…Cool

Black plums getting fatter every summer 
Half us in the cabinet getting sadder every upper 
Classic outdoorsmen scratching panic on the cave walls
Strays out front, but, plums like baseballs
Plucked from the arms of the earth, hell fire at the school 
How are you on about some garden dessert
I'm in the cradle of craters same as your boot in the trench
Defending everything from something, plum juice on my chin
Good in whatever the newest abandoned shoe in the web
They hit that sticky thread a sled into a foot of cement
For every bullet I have caught in my teeth
I earn the privilege of a trip be in awe of the tree
A hundred years in the future I bet some photo exists
Of some historic moment happening somewhere close to the crib
Maybe some heavenly zealot yelling and wielding a piece
And there I am in the back enjoying that seasonal treat
Oblivious and doing my version of smelling a rose
Stupid look on my face, I am never in vogue
I was probably in my head about the essence of hope
Taking a second to effectively connect with the whole
Look, ever since a kid invisibility important
I been dipping out the lobby, body painted brick and mortar
Tryin to pick up on a pattern in the numbers
Like, black plums getting fatter every summer 

I'm a Particle - a minute quantity of matter
The least possible amount of data
I'm a passenger - a rogue awol from the chorus
In the field, something dark at the wheel, I'm ultimately a tourist

Panic invictus, damage all indexed
Granted there is no real standardized litmus
One man's damage is part of another's rituals
Pick one: hindsite or eyes like pinwheels
Well, acceleration's only half the magic
When there's looking like you're doing 60 doing 5 in traffic
The county's slowest roller half the time I'm going backwards
How I'm always there before you ain't a scientific matter
If you pick a lane, see if you could be the truth
For 30 seconds turn the shortcut to the scenic route
Piece of cake, show me what your godspeed reads like 
Olives by the river under osprey in obscene light
Black plums getting fatter in the mean time
A/B 'em with a different time sweet time
How it both beefed-up and yet refined
Even hyenas seen reaching for the tree-line
Lions turn vegan, carnivores tend to the plants
Vampires make jellies and jams
It's a pillar of the still life, steady the hand
Land the pit a couple inches from your head in the sand
Act 1: wait for the sun, Act 2: same with the water
Act 3: is the summoning of the mother
Out to counter any blood pressure upper one could suffer
Black plums, pie crust, flour, sugar, butter, I'm a…

I'm a Particle - a minute quantity of matter
The least possible amount of data
I'm a passenger - a rogue awol from the chorus
In the field, something dark at the wheel, I'm ultimately a tourist

The study isn't peer-reviewed, it's one peer-less
Student getting weird in a room 
Putting the human condition through a series of wretched labors
A herculean dozen to plug in your emulator
Updated for home version-ers, who board up in they teepee
Treating personal misfortune as horses of Diomedes
Me? I'm up to my neck in Nemean lions
A pride of idea-eaters, plus, weevils in the rice thins
Own worst, snubbin' upper management
I'm managing a thin skin, the coveralls are pangolin
Slang from the valley of calculated endangerment
Danger conservationist, constantly in the way of shit
Came in like a wrecking ball 
But really only maintain thanks to the 5-second rule
Vortex staring back from the reflecting pool
They trying to separate the Jeckyl, via centrifuge

Presto, keeper of the keys I been keyed into the tempo 
I can see a team leader reaching for the red phone
I can tell you who won't even be at the crescendo
XO, change-o
Day of hail storms ricocheting off the rain coat
I can see your trail guide waiting for the payphone
I can tell you who won't even make it to the late show, presto change-o

Little fragments of what happens when you plug-in
After having been unplugged it feels emphatically disgusting
Little “pardon can i borrow a lighter”
Cuing a little flashing back to the apartment On fire
Little surgeries and docu-series murderers 
And and run-ins with the concept of object permanence
Little get the cake, little celebrate 
Then celebrate again when you give it the hell away
Brain on black smoke, belly on the breed of lamb 
That couldn't leap the sleepy fence, and fell in Harina PAN
It's me you fucking dummies, I forgot the code word
Old dog, dogs continue to eat his homework, what?
I see y'all job sucks, picked last
No rhythm, not tuff, wack shoes, shitty tats
Stupid life, stupid face, bad hair, sitting duck
Dead alive, set the high score on who gives a fuck
I been several seasons with the cheetahs in the tall grass
To me it's all an impala with no hall pass
All that balderdash, all these talking heads
Futzing with the public good, hawking hate and spawning eggs
Then they wonder why the kid is swinging from the chandelier
Body painted safety orange, screaming out “the champ is here”
As if it's not a healthy response
To whatever type of zealotry you presently on, wrong

Pitching for the Pigeon Hill Road Molly-whoppers 
In a first to a million or model for jolly roger
It's bad news in casual clodhoppers
I hop over cops and robbers and godfathers
Stark white knuckles on the wheel Jesus never took 
Unless he needed me embedded in some lingonberry bush 
Off the 495, otherwise I blame it on the fire and ices
50 years of fighting for his pilot light
It doesn't take the keenest of empaths
To know you probably feeling irretrievably dead last
A steadfast emptiness, maybe aggressive idling
Maybe a forehead to horn, engine off entirely
Every offed head grows back multiplied
The secret is you close the cut and cauterize 
Eye of pyromancer
Here to ride the realest lightning through the driest diorama, like

I ain't even got a single duck in a row
But when I push off of the dock, fish jump in the boat
I'm a guff-giving tuffy in odyssey fire country
Where miserables are quick to pull the crocodile dundee
I'm comfortable in sneakers and a plain white tee
When I give 2 cents, send a pale rider each
I like shave ice on a blanket by the sea
And seeing both riders engaging as wild geese
Parachute pants on a paranoid mass 
I'm probably the source of the polaroid flash 
Office walls that overdose on broken math and post-it notes
Plans to build a time machine, photos of Watteau at home
Holy roman artifacts a piece of wood from Noah's boat
Shrapnel from the mars attack, code to Homer's mobile phone
Impossible ticket stubs
Membership at all these fancy cricket clubs, listen

I ain't even got a single duck in a row
But when I push off of the dock, fish jump in the boat, nahmean
I ain't even got a single place to be b
But when I walk down the block, strays trail in a V, nahmean

Great horned owl in acrylic on the drumhead
Lamb's ear growing by the side door, what next?
Occupy every inch of the opera twice at the same 
Without a pill or wires right to the brain
They want his name by the X, I use an X for the name
It's like I'm basically dead, strangers sending bouquets
I'm alert and oriented, just protective of the method
Of producing fresh fruits and vegetables in the desert
Good news blow through town like bad news
Left with all the bad dogs and Himalayan yak chews
That guy's on a strange path
But he also had pizzazz and a few amazing track suits
True, rats run back to Nimh
I got the wind at my back, I got a cache of film
I plan to film the expanse, I pan to catch every hill
I practice radical acceptance never crack in the kiln, I'm sayin

I ain't even got a single duck in a row
But when I push off of the dock, fish jump in the boat, nahmean 
I ain't even make a single sound when I move
But when I make it down the mountain wolves howl at the moon, nahmean

Slime mold, never do as i'm told
E-I-E-I-O
Deep dive into the fried slide show
Sorry I don't corner cut, I'm more than just a line of code
So are you but you prefer illusion of the cut and dry
Where I prefer the side effect of several billion butterflies, in chorus
It keep a tourist long lens filming
Whatever in the forest had the dog's head tilting
I'm a simple man, man the pinhole cam
Scan the info in, skin the sycophant
Short story: once I shook the Rza's hand
Played it cool, but coulda yelled “I'm going to Disneyland”
Plan for whimsy, it's certainly raining upwards
An advantage for the raised to raid the cupboards of others
Take it up with the buzzards, I'm buzzing off to the haunt
If you listen you can still hear me guffaw with the gong, yo

I ain't even got a single duck in a row
But when I push off of the dock, fish jump in the boat, nahmean
I ain't even got a single horse in the race
But when i go to get the car, there's a horse in the way, nahmean

In '86 I had a hamster named Elizabeth
Got her at the mall with that whole Habi-trail tube system shit
Cried a month when she escaped captivity all by herself
That winter mother found her behind the drier alive and well
Strangely, I recall that over how and when she died
I'm messaging my brother now, he said she left a second time
But like for realsies
Well shit if that don't beg a different take
The triumph ain't the coming home it's in the second prison break
It's interesting what the memory cherry picks and what it pardons
We're nothing if not silver linings stuffed into compartments
Like some printer's tray repurposed for shelving your tiny tinctures
That each remind you of a specific time you were injured
Interacting with the living, those shifting lines of scrimmage 
Always situated just behind some hypnotizing visage 
If you're at all susceptible to a finger that beckons
From out a curious portal make sure your briefed at the entrance
Identify a thousand different snakes
Turn around, still trust a motherfucker out gate
The recommended avenue is as he say not as he do
But as he do if you annoy yourself with you're own ballyhoo
As he do, then people be like “wow, you're such a hypocrite”
And I'm like “yo, you can't be this completely fucking stupid 
I hope you suffer horribly
Like, I'm not even a violent person which makes me a double hypocrite” 
Yo yo yo, fashion from the 80s, mahi mahi fresh from the banana leaf
Deliver the man to Lahaina's banyan tree
Rent me a 2-seater that boast an uncommon wheel count
That outta town embarrassment barreling through some speed round
Before cars, how did man express the sentiment 
Of needing to recklessly drive a car through a weather event? 
Out the other side, heaven-sent, what a ride
Feathered hair that never relent, summer summertime
Smell the roses, right outside the den of lobos
Who could smell the Polo fanny pack coated in melted Rolos
The trope is play it cool and act like you supposed to be there
But I'm not a cool actor, I do not play, I do declare
Next summer y'alls panels on my fear of abandonment 
Get the force of 1001 unbelievable shenanigans
Friendly hangs effortlessly peppered with contentious slang
And extras, til you playing 20 questions with interrobangs
What the fuck, how the hell, who are you
Is hope even a factor in the forward you are looking to
I ain't throwing shade I'm only asking for this final scene
I don't need that energy around me when I'm finding peace
6'4, 240, gussied up and camera shy
I'm just trying to eat but all they see is spotted lantern-fly
Tantrum with biggest fucking baby in candy aisle 
I could not have picked a better day to r-r-randomize
