Yo

I take 10 steps with a bedlamped vision

Study the disorders we've absorbed inside the
village

I understand the plagues and shake hands with my
grimace that remain up in

my face like top to bottom train car feelings

Lets question the ascension of a broken social
icon in various domino affect

I'm blow this hex over the mission

Just to administer the indoor sucker punch toward
its pitiful condition



{C-Rayz Walz

With no alibi love is used as a guide by the
civilized

Some see it as the body heat you feel when you
close your eyes

That's so much of a lie, you can leave your hair
dyed and scorch your roots

As the truth hits your ears begin to cry

"Why Is It Like This!" Why the fuck do
I care?

I don't have the answers, or at least the ones
you want to hear

City lights look like bright groups of fire
flies

Many see the truth (the proof) only when the liar
dies

Tires screech to a halt, the ground cries

Spit sparks speak to the streets

The skid marks are replies

Read discussions of what we rode through
entrenched in the vocals]

The hopeless stay hopeful (the toxic fumes choke
you)

As I walk out my door, step into the
pollution

(I breathe in the problems) exhale solutions

Physically the situation's hard to stop

I had a wicked jump shot and sold crack rock on
back blocks

Casualties in this apocalypse (street
chronicle)

abnormal abdominals (push-ups phenomenal)

Relaxin drinking my 6-pack maxing

faxing my thoughts on the satellite, via Donahue
(push it)

Table talk, salt and pepper conversation

Integrated sectors, metropolis and mecca

It's a conspiracy (you know), I can't lie
dukes

Sometimes I feel the rats got a better deal than
I do



{Aesop Rock(Chorus)

It goes thieves, bandits, low lives, scum

Punks that buckle under the rumble of my drum

Steadily searching for something new under the
sun

But its stagnant, act of development burst of
madness



Thieves, bandits, low lives, scum

Punks that buckle under the rumble of my drum

Steadily searching for something new under the
sun

But its hurtin, act of development first
diversion



{C-Rayz Walz

A new universe in ancient, so I stay patient

In a gravel pit, travelin thoughts and ravelin,
pacing

Embracing light of America, and found a shade of
darkness (underground)

The traincar used to be my apartment

Sick of people rushin in the doors before I get
out

Conductors closing the doors before I get in, I
shout

"The Biz is Coming, The Biz is
Coming!"

Don't get worried now (We've been in a cold
world!)

We just getting flurries now?



{Aesop Rock

Yeah, its like slowww dooowwwn,

You're movin much to fast to bust through the
finale fashioned glass

Its delicate demeanor and I teach you how to
hang

But we like 19 7 something 20 clicks outside
Danang (dear obedience)

I apologize for the faulty academics

but they placed us in a miserable stasis

I let bygones be bygones

But tryin to see eye to eye with the faceless

just aint working the way the manual paints
it

See I soak in a blue note factory

While most cats hassle bandits lamping solo

And when the last red brick topples over the
earth

to intercept your crooked little mess

I can be found in a social coma directly to your
left

Engaged in a conversation, a marvel with my
breath

Regarding how to document the shady baby
steps

I bounce checks like a modern man

Sleep with one eye open while the other two
drift

together specimens from the promise land

This for the thinkers

This for the urchins allergic to they own
stingers

This for the absurd verdict linkers

This for that cat at my shows that's always got
prophetic opinions

but cant remember where his drink is

I'm wallowing, shrugging I'm plugging your
corporation

Cause we alley cats addicted to the sickly warped
sensation

Answer this: when all that's said and done

are you a memorable troop or just a lab rat on
the run

Choose one



{Chorus
