1-4 = 1st verse
(1)it's lonely at the top, not only past tense victories,
never resting on the laurels awarded by deficiencies,

just past nothing, walk the line and throw a finger up,
and let the singer strut, cissy meters in the cut,


alpha - reality ultimate, mentality all of it,
based on the face, of the single strike of a thin evolving glyph,
(2)-- opposites also witness the magnetic,

even, yin yang, prime, 2 doves in a bag let it, go,

in pairs come good things, both copies spin,

stereophonic, marriage, demonic, original sin,
pivotal, literal, images of digital kin, with both hands,
in the water where the rivers begin,


(3) the trinity ends, the second the cycles reach the c!@#^,
rock, paper, scissors, drop an atom on the bow,

like BLAOW!, primary colours disintegrate,
minor discord, force, telephone, DEF imitate,


tripod, get it straight, dimensions on the level,
how many rocks from the sun, with company, yet to be settled,
(4) for the - sake of the letters, and making the present a mess,

repping cancer everywhere, north, east, south, west...

dawn, morning, afternoon night, protest in the square,

no less parallel,the fire, water, earth and air,
not a care in the world, beyond it, and stepping into reason,
cast away, gather, love, hate, everything in a season...


because
12 is a magic number

yes it is,
it's a magic number


somewhere in this hip hop soul community
(---) you'll find 12 and that's a magic number


5-7 = 2nd verse
(5) single-handedly untouchable, categorical destruction,
digits in a V, display ease emphasis and gumption,

whodini escapism in the minutes of funk,
ziggy stardust plays to leave a half a decade sunk,


un
less they run, standard, out of breath and hand quick - take 5,
stutter stutter second rule your man's sick,

(6) land six sides simultaneously, (BIX) possible,
it's not hard to tell, you feel it like the dots in a cell,


so
watch for the bell, that feet tall until I'm that deep,
like how does the garden taste, manure, black sheep,

that's me, carbon-based without hesitations,
in cardinal directions, by degrees of separation,


(7) levi-
tation, over seven seas, and layers of the earth and sky,
patience, work, not luck or angels on specific sides,

though maybe the side of a 45 or two, ought to do a lot of good,
for the those likely to roll and sin in july,


new ca-
tastrophes remain unsolved, notes pile up,
neutral photos, pH on the dial won't recall what

(8) happened, a revelation of the chosen noble paths,
against the eighth king, a pawn, time squared, cut in half,


on the
plate, the earth shifts, bits in a byte of the octave, gone,
with the flick of a switch in a mix to kick a track off and on,

and on and on it goes, at least eight days a week,
never rest, ever rest? sure: have a great sleep...



12 which is a magic number
yes it is,
it's a magic number


somewhere in this hip hop soul community
(---) you'll find 12 and that's a magic number

9-12 = 3rd verse


(9)peace to all the cats not with us,
choirs sing, above the fire rings, all dressed up,
the blessed cup, sip it, each muse does what they need to do,
another gets down, that many months later: it's peek-a-boo


the worthy in the last inning, who do you know in this,
above it, cloud nine, blissed out###ulonimbus,
(10) and the cab'll be those minutes, the commandments'll make it clear,
on the channel reserved for percussion hits at the naked ear,


so shake it here, hands together, Rorschach card 2,
X and the dance is tender, more of that produce, percentage-wise,
tithed found the perfect girl, and now we gone,
base 10, knock a decimal flexing sections of neon....

(11) and beyond the beyond, double up, make a wish,

master numerology ought to be on the aces list,
take a hit (james brown hit me), lest we forget,
change it up, the plane is up flight 11, make it dip,

from the towers to apollo and the salt of the earth,
it's a balance of the sorrow and exalted at birth,
(12) i'm all for the first, F-12, 10 fingers, two hands,

atonal, major, minor, keys, hues, step plans,

inches in a foot - - - albums, and months annual,
time divisible, midnight and at noon,
zodiac/olympiad/apostles, and petal tips,
with the precious TROY pounds kept alive in little bits...


because 12... is a magic number...
