Escher


[Lead in]

Whaddya do last night?


[Intro]

Hey, what's goin’ on?

Yeah yeah, not too bad

But it's been a long week, time to head on out!

Alright, yeah, see ya soon


[Verse 1]

Yeah

Step out on the town like the times of old &

Patrolling on a quest just like a tribe called

To find my piece of a peace of mind

Stress relief

Then seize the night

When I get it I'm like a president at the end of a long week

With these rum & wine knock offs see I unwind & hopscotch Problems they just dissolve, sink to the abyss

When I’m sitting in sync with the kings

Sipping delicious drinks

Well priced nice & ice cold

In the presence of sassy elegant dressers

On em our eyes roll

Oh that's impressive

Sharing folklore stories with the legends

For some memory revival

Now peep my rhyme recital


[Chorus]

When I MC like Escher

I change it rearrange it

From lame to insanely better

From pain to pleasure

From waste to treasure

And I got more in store

Etcetera


[Verse 2]

And now this blissful existence

Is abruptly interrupted for a minute by

Some simple minded

Unworthy rivals

Agressive lesser louts

Persistent in bitchin'

Obsessed about tryna assess how I roll

Man, if you wanna doubt I got clout

Layman clowns

It's blatant I'm taking you out, taking you down

Taking any semblance of a crown that you thought you had

Parochial insular gimp

Playing a roll

Stuck like a pole

While I'm on my launching pad

& floating on the road

With my kicks kissing the earth

I'm criss-crossing the globe

& i'm still kicking up dirt

Till Im whole, I’m travelling & unravelling zones

Like a stone, that’s how I roll

Now I'm coming at ya when my tongue speaks

Unleashes raps that were under wraps

On these here drum beats

& I come clean

So you understand

I can transform from the boring norm

[Bridge}

When I MC like Escher

Da da di doo da di do doo

Mmm mmm mmmmm

Oo oo ooo ooo ooooo

Hmmm mmmm

Yea yeah ooooeeewww yeeahhh heeeeaagghh

Hey!


[Outro Chorus]

When I MC like Escher

I change it rearrange it

From lame to insanely better

From pain to pleasure

From waste to treasure

And I got more in store

Etcetera

When I MC like Escher

I change it rearrange it

From lame to insanely better

From pain to pleasure

From waste to treasure

And I got more in store

Etcetera


[Cuts]


[Outro conversation]

‘cause you’re taking stuff from the world

& you're filtering it through your own little sieves & your own little Aspirations & you come out with this

& you say wow! isn't that amazing that someone could come up with That lyric or that sculpture or that thought you know what I mean?

Isn't that extraordinary?

Yeah

I, I think it’s a marvel
