    Alright, I can hear the ocean in a shell
    But for the life of me I've never heard your surges more than raindrops in a well
    Paladin tribe
    Break beat elitists
    Element five
    Fully sold on operation, jeopardize of my survival
    I will survive when sprayed by heavens liquid ammunition
    I'll survive when betrayed by my brethren's wicked ambitions
    I'll survive when braided with shuteye sticky thickets and thorns
    Born clutching a fistful
    The hurt's morbidly blissful
    Forms spiraling
    Sovereigns bring the rise in the funnel
    A chorus line of blind crazes tap the water, find the tunnel
    As skinny click, mechanics flock to block pick of the land
    We stretch the Earth around the canvas
    Drag a stick in the sand
    And pan the hell out
    Timid, you're tireless, bold
    The cold that ire spits clicks subtly on supremacy therefore blemishe me
    Oh, the treacherous penalty centers me, renders me bait
    Skating slalom through this churning murder columns
    I am not entirely trained to undo the shame
    And all I got's three pennies and a rusty mic unto my name
    Unto my game, defy the siamese approaches
    Whose delinquent dichotomy comps Emerald City in wondrous novelty
    Drink drum, sip a snare to spit a rigid sequence
    That's when freak sons fade to black just like these pretty pink lungs, slugger
    Paper dolls facade as swash buckler
    Bounty hunt the front to document the frosh cluster
    I am structure with a smoke ring, militant distinction
    With a cloak-and-dagger stagger prime directive
    And all else burrows itself amongst drunken perspective, fade me
    I flee the scene grippin' the missing link like chain gang escapees
    Build me, kill me
    We cadets hold determination as property undeniably divine
    We leak passion for the noise
    There is not a track to cherish from he who lacks merit
    And all I think about's the motion
    Exerted to color mavericks alerted
    Herd a billion nervous lost child prodigies home to flourish
    Now taciturn facets burn open to yield malarkey
    Navigator when wrestled on fancy driftwood out the vessel
    And I settle
    A conquest, stamp it, label it fresh
    I in turn apply policies which require intrinsic merit
    Try to wallow down these yellow bricks with yesterdays appendix on hold
    Spot it like sky horizon, posed as barcodes
    Load your fantasy
    Interject a bad dream candidly
    Blue in the face, through in the chase between myself and fame's embrace
    Face engaging presence resonant with
    Chiaroscuro atmospheric traps
    Inhabit the land of denied clearance
    Pigeonholed styles, drop similar
    The course the corpse patients
    Lacing non sequitur's that spittle off the chin
    Upon the recognition pilot soften up the grin
    Spinning me dizzy, cold
    Bending my city to hold water
    Yeah, we got affiliates, cadet merit and brilliance
    Clinic apparel king-thing, crooked, I shrink, I sink into my book
    It's like fury blew the scaffolding askew and tainted curiosities
    Allow the freak show to continue
    Forty thieves who seaved the cuehen commence blending a plan
    And decorate the dusk like henna to hand
    We unknowingly sketched the pentagram by sending clans of caffeinated couriers upon a quest to run the perfect circle around a star
    Bizarre pattern with a bad vibe like Jafar to Aladdin
    Pardon the carbon-based blaze amongst the stagnant trend frenzy
    It offends me
    Wait, ain't it the liquid soul therapy?
    I sip to grip a stationary pillar
    Yet we slipped these boogie nights
    Sucked wattage from rookie lights
    Now you proud
    I'mma be there when you rush in
    Just to touch the mushroom cloud
    Drink failure
    Lord have mercy on their dreams
    Pretty pixels tend to trickle off the screen
    Know what I mean?
    Build me, kill me
    We consider fresh sound play to sink frighteningly close to extinct
    My life line is an assignment to feed the arts my spirit and bleed merit
    The conclusion is subtle
    Huddled amongst hermetic gutter-bugs
    Peasants, and drunks
    Junkies to critics
    Sick dictators, haters
    Kings to alley urchins
    Monarchs, narcs to liars
    Circling the wild fires
    Live wires
    I tend to blend an action less than orderly in
    With an otherwise uncommonly primer to normalcy torn
    These traits fade as cadavers due to conflicting data matter, first heard as remarkable's now labeled as unmarketable
    Damn, thorn in my side
    Now the high five hives despised from freeing demating alien seedlings, retreating
    Burst the threshold, make the vessel capsize
    Then the hollerings of buoyant survivors treading awoke dreaded leviathan
    Deaded
    Headed to crunch the world of MC etiquette
    By dismantling mics prior to passing towards degenerates
    How do you like that settlement? You feel that?
    A maverick like myself bottles, will quit 'til the cocoon naturally peels back
    This little light of mine shines at a hundred billion times the magnitude of every star
    Within an ample sky sample
    I alerted
    My sole crusaders
    To trade the games;
    Prescribed them strict diets of DDT and Kelthane
    It fester when ingested
    Glorious vellum
    Addressing helots to zealots
    To Jezebel's to hellish felons
    Granted my span of attention is not what it used to be
    But most of y'all delinquents ain't amusing me no more, kid, merit

      sigh... were all gods.. Pizza... 8 slices.. God.... more than 8 slices... still parts of the whole aka the same energy. Also conservation laws say energy is energy is energy is energy. like were all gods of the same shit.. how many jesus's do we want cause that still wont change the fact that zeus sonned hermecaults or whatever the dudees name was not jesus. Anyway.. back to believing what i believe in... signs signs everywhere a sign... very superstitious writing on the wall... you know. never always is changing always sometimes. Del. Ta. Del operator. Triangle. Up Down now we got two for king david? who what changed the bible just like solomon... who gives a fuck. Honestly. take it or leave it. Just let me take a res hit to remember that im still fucking breathing.

    All Aesop is dope! I did get around to FCDF&K, but it's still not as heavily played as all his other albums. I'm currently digging B Sides and Rarities Vol 1:1999-2003. No Jumper Cables[remix], Put Your Quarter Up, and Citronella were my first songs when I didn't know who he was. Citronella blew me away and I was hooked.

    @NoFrillzHipHop WHAAAAT? That was the first aesop I heard. Much prefer Music for Earthworms nowadays but that album is amazing. The beats and production value in this album is much better however. IMO!
