AESOP ROCK lyrics : "Save Yourself"

[Verse 1:]
Pull the pin out, sheep creep in wolf garb
Fronted by the Hail Mary parry lunge mixer

Kill the populace for stability, jeopardy's a stickler
It's bob and weave amalgam played the falcon to your fixture
I branch out, arms flailing backwards

Wailin upon a tidy sound circuit
Slightly foul Gershwin
With a bed of nails and drumlust plus disgusted service

Workin in shifts opposite the asbestos brain furnace
I be the now observatory eye ear antenna feeler
Spittin like a dragon with a similar demeanor

Stood innocent bystand witness the diehard fans turn Rip Van
In the poppy fields of N.Y.'s orchestrated brick gauntlet
Now I'm thinkin who am I Jabberwocky Superfly bent left

Pushin war without the ten step cushion and what (what)
I plan to hold this beat positive sacred in these golde veins
Until the day I die from grimace overload

It's shock (it's shock)
Treatment offered by the weekend
This still be a getaway, let's display the sequence it goes:

One for the heartless thievery turning my guardian angel harpless
And the rest to sweep the mess under the carpet (under the carpet)
I drag a yellow taxi meter behind every measure

And charge cats for labeling me shepherd
"That'll be Six Fifty plus tip darlin,
I take cash, credit, check, money-order, gold and cigarette cartons"

Huh, got caught up in the universe tryin to zoom in on stardom
Forgot the passion plus the hatred, both were based in Carbon
Next time you wanna be a hero try saving somethin other than hip-hop

And maybe hip-hop'll save you from the pit-stop
Kill em all, yield
(naw man It wasn't me it was Holden Caulfield brother

I just read and pulled the trigger)
Oh God, well leave me to tiptoe past the pearly gates
Capture the halo, jet back to base, step past the chase

The bad taste of jet-lag and weight slackers
There ain't nothin broken, where you at?
The pistons pump perfect, where you at?

The bass tone is Merlin, where you at?
This service is a urgent workin surgeons
Purging formulas lookin for an improper cause is whack


[Chorus: x2]
What are you saving, honestly? (honestly, honestly)

What are you saving, honestly? (honestly, no honestly)
What are you saving, honestly? (damn)
Promise me you gon shut the $#&@ up and recognize

What you holdin ain't really broken?

[Break:]

I don't flick neeedles like my sick friend (friend)
I don't march like Beetle Bailey through a quick trend (trend)
I don't frequent church's steeples on my weekend (end)

And I don't comment if you formulate a weak Zen.
All I ever really wanted was a getaway
I'm a take a chance by letting a brook slide for what I got in my hands

I can not agree to follow a leader while on the borderline
A war without a reason for the Brady hates gore
Bring out your dead we can put em in a pile

And burn em with the novels for the kids then to admire
KIll the ones that speak from a different life
Brewin other killer noise makin the sentiment...


[Verse 2:]
Okay, welcome to the Kamikaze bottle rocket @@#!pit

Live by the icy cold hand of bad intention youth blender
Oh yeah I'll let God warm the bench for now but
I'll ascend to spin y'all dizzy

(and for the record I'm bringin my t.v. with me)
Yo, let the commoners speak publicly
Then disperse eye jammies for cats that swear by third pupil

But can't see past the loophole
Mother$#&@er, my word is born like Siamese triplets
With doctor, lawyer, rocket scientist promise

(let em grow leisurely)
Hey Mom, I'm a fix without my probe along this path
Once my shpeel's perfected I'm a save you a seat in the front row
Of Aesop Rock's twelve steps to shut the $#&@ up seminar
And when all these bickering crowds turn solid you gon be proud

I tack hacks to the (backboard)
Honesty's a (latchcord)
Fury's far from (obsolete)
Serenity's a (crack war)
Raw caricature of mayhem standard branded by the labor

With a thousand reasons to end this for every one of you saviors
Saw the brightest burst ironically wide from the vacant stage
Gave it a pound for burning where bunk ratio's engaged
Keep me posted as to when you grasp something mature to
Sit and sulk about mister, and I'll consider pickin up your record


[Chorus: x2]
What are you saving, honestly? (honestly, honestly)
What are you saving, honestly? (honestly, no honestly)
What are you saving, honestly? (damn)

Promise me you gon shut the $#&@ up and recognize
What you holdin ain't really broken?

[Outro:]
The Authors, they ain't got nothin to save
The Overground, man they ain't got nothin to save

Def Jux, they ain't got nothin to save
The Addams Family, they ain't got nothin to save
Weightless, they ain't got nothin to save
Stronghold man, they ain't got nothin to save
Rhymesayers baby, they ain't got nothin to save
Aesop Rock, I ain't got nothin to save
It's like that...
