[Aesop Yo, change the channel. I burn a candle. When the flame fades, consider my flat a soldier sample. We them cats talking noise that New York trash heap where the stench of commuter briefcase replaces a bad sleep. And it's the work of zig-zaggers versus piggy badge training generation fallout. Waterfall, bricklayer, crawl out. There's smoke in my iris, but I painted a sunny day on the insides of my I'm ready now. (What you for?) I'm ready for life in this city and my have grown almost enough to lift me. I'm a dinosaur with Beach in my hourglasspassing the time with serial killer coloring books and bags of marbles. Don't tell me you ain't the droid held the match to the charcoals. tell me Lucifer and God don't carpool. (This is our school) I'm not trying to graduate to with a personalized barstool, head in a jar on the desk, feet in a shark pool. (Man please) Man My name stands for my being and my being stands for the woman who and braved the storm to raise the seedling. (Brother sun, moon, mother beautiful) Yeah, sibling suitable but far from son of excellence. Beckoneda long ago I was, to where the wishers wish but missers miss, I slept through my appointment. Saw the liquid dreams of a thousand solidifyand picked a rose. It wilted the second I myself as nervous. Well, it the scars of learning have spoken. are burning, some are frozen. Some deserve tall tales, some 'em. Some are just a brutal of devotion. Mine are all of the above 'cause leads to erosion. Now where I live a homeless man. He sits a crate Yeah, He makes a rusty trumpet like the music that angels make. Now if you ever come and visit me, I suggest you the show Tell him Aesop Rock sent ya just to hear his horn like this

[Aesop And I ain't any younger. My knuckles wear bruises well. I've yet to lose that hunger, but only can tell. Prodigal sun with a prodigal wish to sew that prodigal and crucify bigot voodoo doll on two Popsicle sticks. See, your is ambiguity. My name is something hands can't hold but hearts part ocean scapes to watch the starlet unfold It's like sketching a circle in the dirt with a pointed stick knowing the wind'll kill it some day, still it calms my wits for now. And if I plow the fields, that guarantee plentiful harvest but starving artists die, so I set my alarm for five o'clock block survival crops, the cycle stops for nothing The Bible revival as winos flock by the hundreds to the opening. Scarlet greeting the duel, leading the stubborn mule to cruel rugburn but y'all numb from gut fuel. I eclispe. Ain't know motor like a martyr made motor a martyr made motor don't quit. I am an epiphany. I am webbed mammal channel surfing my way to the top. Tugboat in a bottle with no poked in the nozzle I fed 'em bedlam diluted in limelight till that rookie graduated hostile. Nowthe vehicle is grandeur and it veered over the the second my halo ran outta helium. to thorn crown. Damn, about numbskull. I was born bound to a called symmetry but my energy's a rental. So I this now to say, thank you senorita for holding a flame to a lost wick. Thank you James Anthony for the band-aids on my ego, are family for life,I'll take that bullet to preserve you. I be something spectacular on the day the sun runs outta batteries. my fashion to the casualties of anarchy. Save my nickels up to buy homeless man a brand new horn, then sit up on his crate as a witness to beauty born like this... (I gettin any younger)
