[Intro]

Aes Rock, who the fuck is...


[Verse 1: Aesop Rock]

Well...

I was the crooked spoke before 3rd wheel

But I doom fucked divinity the first time

Now I'm cursed allergic to the flashback imagery

Stuck the key in what I thought would stitch the boons of man

And still the big fish ate the little fish (Yeah guess which one I am)

Well I took a stone from the garden of "Pardon me, who are you?"

Carved it to sharpen then parked it inside a heart of sharkskin

Organized marksmen marched in amber waves

Of DDT brain marinations pleasant peasants

Pumping life into their legends

I been around the globe in 5 lackin a compass

One version of Christ when a slicker process hostile

To the object botches, deadweight (it seems)

Fasted for 40 days straight (dream tight)

Because for 40 nights I been lickin the plate clean

Man I don't wanna be a shepherd

I think too many sheep in the flock

But someones gotta learn to herd em through the gates and keep it locked

Buried the pride of riders lurks beneath the rocks from whence they came

Buckle up for commencement of the disbelief suspension game

Yeah all goals

Honor thy brother shoveling coal

And hovering others sputtering to suffering souls

I know you know I know your plan is dwindling

Wiggin' with every breath and still you drag me through the center of this mess


[Verse 2: Cryptic One]

Let the fluid seep into this tremendous mind crevice

A trip to end this endless pseudo flowing rhyme fetish

Perhaps soon buffoons will rediscover the love

But for now sit and worship the grounds that we hover above

See the rhymes walk across hot coals in blissful silence

Under the weight the earth shakes they all turn to diamonds

Swallow the Adam's Apple seed whole

Let it get embedded in your soul

Infested poetic epidemic control

I'm bombing your brain unconstrained

Andromeda Strain

The intention is spiral through sections

As rival infections upon closer inspection

The poetic bars are new and unique

You see the start of a new sideshow carnival freak

Complete with circus tent the lead attempt to circumvent

The perfect verbiage meant to trench you cowards

(With a true sense of power)

Propel the speakers, yo, each memory's

Essentially centuries of imaginary imagery

Injected simply for sole control of humans souls

And symphonies belittle the little we own

Contorted distorted ridiculous clone

Robotic sonic monotony

Broke your monotone Atomic Aesop Rock conglomerate

Hip hop apocalypse zone

Hip hop apocalypse zone

Hip hop apocalypse zone

What's the deal, Atoms Fam?

What's the deal, Can O?

What's the deal, Def Jux?

How you feel, Stronghold?

What's the deal Weightless?

What's up with hip hop?

What's the deal, [?]?

What's the deal, Head Bop?

What's the deal, James 23?

What's up, Sonic Sum?

What's the deal Aes Rock? Big peace from Cryptic One

What's the deal, Blockhead?

How you feel, big Pawl?

What's the deal, Hangar and Jest?

And yo, I'm out y'all
