lyrics

G7: Radioheads play out in 2199 as I stand on the fossils of 2013. A city built upon mandibles of skeleton. Who were skeletons when they had flesh and bone, acting as overly made up with make up Clowns before the microphones. I know them because I saw them in my travels backwards in time. From my dynasty to the dilapidated faces of the graceless on stages. Raisin’ angry grapes to be burned by suns. Incompetent clock wasters upon the brink of being pushed off of the galaxy. Spending wind speaking of the destruction of what should have never begun. Common transformed into the very bitch he scoped in Cube. The right move is to return to our heritage. That we fail to possess… ‘cus you and I do not exist. I use a rocketeer jetpack to fly over cats that bust caps I block with lower cases. This realm I swim in is utopia. Every MC and their rhyme scheme builds density. impenetrable by the. exegesis of sages. On spell check check spells that slay mages. System of a down syndrome plans a head swell. Pens frail and break as the open-ended foundation of this nation. Where birth certificates are intricate. Documenting a child’s inception and trajectory to war what tomorrow will be. All state and country envelopes are pushed to the cutting edge. Are push to the cutting edge. And all stagnation being dead. And all men and women getting head... and the robots.

W.J.T.G.: Went to an alternate universe to see a better version of me. Went to an alternate universe to see a better version of me. Back from the future again. Here’s lookin’ at you for the win. That’s what my reflection said. Maybe this is just inception, But the way the glass liquefies and bends around my hands when I reach in. It should be shards but I swim between black hole dimensions. Space and time continuum, within the drums the dumb are mostly intrigued by. There was a time when I only wanted to be high. Thinking that time traveling translated to bloodshot eyes. But then I had to stare into my past and figure out. How to piece together my broken ass within this mirror inside this glass. this can’t be real. I need to slow down, still fast and be still. Inside this time machine, riding this wormhole at warp speed. Pushin’ to the cutting edge so I can figure out how to be free.Went to an alternate universe to see a better version of me.Pushin’ to the cutting edge so I can figure out how to be free.Went to an alternate universe to see a better version of me.

C.S.: Two baby mommas, five kids broke. With a sorry job. I live at home, and the only real chance that I had to go. Is already gone. Many years ago with a rope and a few strides. Could’ve put us on. But I’ve chosen to lose my. Grip slowly I’ve broken that bro tie. Now Jyroscope is just Fokuz and look who’s not. Going to photo shoots large. Explodin’ show you a true star. Tourin’ the globe doin shows. My nigga please don’t send me no cool post cards. But it’s no ones fault but rob. And he Chris Paul tossed up lobs. I just missed all of them slipped. Didn’t want it jumped ship. swimmin salt bum cod. Fishin’ for inspiration. Catchin’ empty huggies boxes. “dad im hungry”. Shoppin’ at jewel folks from high school see me chummy salmon. Disgruntled but delighted I still keep in touch with brothers. A bunch of writers who fucked up ciphers and loved one another. Remember when we did security at that loft space? In 08’that was so great. Ain’t I sittin’ in the wrong place. Couldn’t I just have slowed down with the Going out and fuckin all day? Did what I had to do zone out then put it all out. I put it off wake Up you motherfuckers don’t nobody owe you shit. Time will never wait for you no matter how outta control you get
It together while you still can remember that. When you bump ya head. Just patch up yo scrape
And continue making that cutting edge
