ALARM
02:19
|
|||
edit, test it and submit
read it and starred it and read again
still guarded, harder when dogs are better friends
miss the mark, partial to artistry till the end
starting to alarm me, I thought it was all pretend
isn’t coddling the artist the cause of his biggest debts?
arguments he bottled have brought him immense stress
arteries are clogging, the venue a mess since
not sure if we’ll ever prefer kids to the pets
plot churns, the martyr returns sans inscription
got word: coroner heard naught was missin
sought cures; thoughts of choppin off his digits
till assured corrections are not an issue
with you till you need em, then gone
get through it cause you’re needed at dawn
went to a new cathedral and lost
all the truths you had heeded at once
dawg
I am not often to gossip
but I don’t like the bark of that brand new apostle
he got you lot cause he dark and he thoughtful
wants to embark on a concert of converts
it’s awful and akin to a business
kid, that kickflip’s sick, can you sit quick?
it’s sadistic; answers out of omissions
christmas canceled now, hand your gifts in
bought fat santa? wow, what a dipshit
god let cancer round, must’ve missed it
got a few actors, sound out the issue
hark, hark, hark, hark hallelujah
mark wahlberg and harry potter got a flu shot
our problems have already gone minutia
got solved, but the ennui startin off
probably not a cause for alarm
or a reason he oughta be lost on a farm
keep breathin, economies start when he talk
we eatin, lottery halted the art
see demons, all of these sharks in the water
they keep off of me
keep offering a little bit of meat off of me
bleed deep but the need beats all of it
heat breather defeats the apologist
feel confidence, deal with the consequences
clock has been ticking
caught in a schism
fought the religion
not lost, long gone but they thought I was missin
sellin tickets now, charge admission
got it figured out, far from finished

BROOKS
02:16
|
|||
Ay, ay
Tried riding the lightning
Shine in the high beams
Vibe outside all night in the size 13 wide brooks
mind in the books
Been slightly aloof
Been biting the hooks
Unwind for a mile and it might get to two
Found him drowned in the fountain of youth
Shout out loud, I’ll howl at the moon
back in the cowl, out channeling DOOM
Pat I’d like to buy another vowel and solve the puzzle
Had to give the other two a nudge till they hustle
All want power, don't know no struggle
Al want flowers, won't show no muscle
Clout in the crowd, won't count those tallies, no doubt the amount in the thousands of hundreds
Having a cow, lil Al went mad - cash in the mattress account for the budget
Tried riding the lightning
shine in the high beams
vibe outside all night in the size 13 wide brooks
mind in the books
Been slightly aloof
Been finding the truth
Guide in the moves
Guy still biding his time in the nook
Try to invite him, confide in the kook
Big-eyed smile, in line with the youth
you might need subcutaneous bypass
To help them achieve simultaneous climax
Trained both brains, in display on an imax
Ain’t no way I’m saying "it's my bad"
Untying the noose
Try to lighten the mood
Buy the illusion
Like to be fooled
Lie for the blueprint
(In) Line to be ruined
Nice if you knew him
Try to be cool
Tried riding the lightning
Tried riding the lightning

WHAT I NEED
02:51
|
|||
know if I’m on the edge, I’ma call you
hope I find all the sentiment gone to
division arisen of lost fools
no interest listenin to falsehoods
all this isn’t disciplined, fault to
the crossed systems and physical obstacles
cost isn’t impossible
fought with the opinion I’m off the boat
rock an obit fit for the goat
the plot thickenin, hidden within the fort
a lot different when he was locked and loaded
mock sympathy liftin, the ship afloat
conflicted; known for a different motive
won’t omit the sole (soul) slip of tongue
old interests slow the roll into sludge
hoped to ignore the affixed affront
bear my likeness and you eat free
why am I like this when you need me?
abide and imbibe to find relief
an incline, within sight the final peak
keep climbin, in time, I’ll light the beacon
might not like it but it’s what I need
might not like it but it’s what I need
who’s in the news today?
Who isn’t used to hate?
Choosin to use the pain
movin in two brigades
and losing the youth to changes
loosen the noose and chains, he
flew in a few good names
to them, a usual tuesday
to you, beginnin of new things
situation isn’t helping
mission statement: wish for well being
getting paid with mental health treatments
better help and he felt feelings
beg amends, second guess, leadin with
friends ended and bells ringin
eat red velvet, see debt clingin
these lead vests seem a bit deceitful
see, hear, speak, fear evil itself
no more ways to get help
no more baitin these breaths
no more treating yourself
few weeks of feast, don’t cease, repeat to lost health
weakened (weekend), we defeatin ourselves
reasons are obsolete and all hell
broke loose as soon as you left the room
assume it’s due to new ventures loomin
met the who’s who of group delusion
said dementia confirmed he was lucid
look at them, comforted well in the new digs
should’ve been used to a cell when they moved in
took a second to settle intrusions
bet on the blueprint, head in the music
bear my likeness and you eat free
why am I like this when you need me?
abide and imbibe to find relief
an incline, within sight the final peak
keep climbin, in time, I’ll light the beacon
might not like it but it’s what I need
might not like it but it’s what I need

SUNDOWN
02:20
|

(this portion of our show brought to you by Jello instant pudding!)
sundown
get home
sundown
get home
sundown
get home
sundown
get home
this shit been hittin different
inhibition
long live the optimist - call it quits yet?
Coddle him till you swat the insect
mock his interest in larger business
accomplice in his incompetence
parlor tricks with the arguments
I got called on it
walk it off
eight years of hate steering all the thoughts
came here in pain, hearing “knock it off”
and take your place facing the carpet bomb
anger fading, wandering parking lots
think chasing the grave it’ll all stop
(playin it safe?) probly not
but a day erased is a problem solved
brain decayed, art devolved
throw the ball long
I’m callin yard
sundown
get home
sundown
get home
sundown
get home
sundown
get home
long removed from the pulpit
gospel truth became bullshit
awful news was the culprit
opportunity spoken
restart him with a motive
we lost friends in the motion
beyond sending a notice
keep on mending emotions
he just stop, and then – go
party alignment three dimensional
D-R- assigned these key defenses, ill
bars still finding a hit essential
sick of pissin his potential
lid is rising when I finish
acted like I might’ve listened
been trying the penicillin of
twin mics and bigger fishin
his line fits tightly in the incisors
eyes hurt, light burns, I’m inside her
cure my sicknesses in the drive thru
blur my vision, stick with the fried food
herd witnesses into high noon
no more recitals
no hold from the former idols
goals don’t show decline, I’ll
hoard gold till a fortune is undermined
and my portion of holdings undefined
I won’t know what’s owned till it’s in my sight
hope all the marbles been worth the fight
it’s my time
sundown
get home
sundown
get home
sundown
get home
sundown
get home
long removed from the pulpit
gospel truth became bullshit
awful news was the culprit
opportunity spoken
restart him with a motive
we lost friends in the motion
beyond sending a notice
keep on mending emotions
he just stop

lookin to the net
move
stutter step
cut it left
to the hoop to shoot, lose it to a theft
Used to usin dudes as dupes, I should choose the best
Instead, shooin troops ahead to loose the noose I put their necks in
Grouped into the fold, dispute the mold, eschew reflection
and the tool you used? defective. Who you left with? (WHO YOU LEFT WITH?)
I be keepin it a hunnid five
single breed of a new kind
peers seen far behind me
thinkin ink’ll free it from a mind
tick tick, clock’s winding
the tightrope heightening
x2
placated with the pay grade
may wait to convey another mayday
the same mistakes in him
takin a break, ain’t makin thanksgiving
the painkillers savin him, hate to face it
can’t ask to mask the cataracts
habitat is cabbage patch
room or two could use a cactus
new shoes used to distract him
but
soon the fools will rule the masses
still upset the sector you excel in won't accept you've entered it &
hopin those you showed the ropes to won't expose the doughy center
no exception – no ascendant, slow beginner
an emotional soul within him
the upholstery exposed at dinner
hot coals heat poultry, the stove is missin
but still got him a throne and a pot to piss in
I be keepin it a hunnid five
single breed of a new kind
peers seen far behind me
thinkin ink’ll free it from a mind
tick tick, clock’s winding
the tightrope heightening
I be keepin it a hunnid five
single breed of a new kind
peers seen far behind me
thinkin ink’ll free it from a mind
tick tick, clock’s winding
the tightrope heightening
Victory is simply a deceit that we will never see
sulky, mostly you’ll concede
on the pipe, in the weeds
easily
Given whatever we goddamn need
Never remember a goddamn thing
Live in a goddamn dream
Billing a goddamn fee
makes sense(cents)
take checks
see what the con man see
they always like the quiet ones
guided by the ire some
silence, my environment
& find the time been tiresome
I be keepin it a hunnid five
single breed of a new kind
peers seen far behind me
thinkin ink’ll free it from a mind
tick tick, clock’s winding
the tightrope heightening
I be keepin it a hunnid five
single breed of a new kind
peers seen far behind me
thinkin ink’ll free it from a mind
tick tick, clock’s winding
the tightrope
save the last grace, know forever is irrelevant
Devil at the door, stop, don't knock, let him in
Kettle met a pot with an exoskeleton
sayin “thanks for the new block resident!”

FREDERICK
02:40
|
|||
flashback, 04 or 05
squad bopped off to a pond for the night
teen troop headed on a quest of fellowship
redeemed through meeting an impressive denizen
goose on the loose groups knew not to mess with
we messed with it
named him frederick
gave chase with great haste when we’d invade his space
turn away when he thought we got the message
post childish provocation
we were off to admire fred’s faunal neighbors
when to our surprise, headed toward us came our
new best friend frederick prepared for capers
quick test drive to remind who the pilot is
left right, realigning alliances
in together, new goose of a feather
reschedule all events – this entire night is his
we forgot all the medicine
but at least got frederick
no calls or messages
tell em I’m with frederick
true friend till it ended
new men when we left him
we don’t – we don’t
we don’t – we don’t
we don’t – we don’t
never forget frederick
goofed off till the sky was sunless
goose not willin to deny the fun yet
truthfully, amused, still tryna get some rest
we shooed him, reassurin there’d be new plans
first thing early in the mornin
surely the beast’ll agree to our appointment
wake up, off to the bird, boys join in
call to the herd, lil beak heard noises
no frickin way
fred separate from the flock
straight to the squad, ain’t afraid of the talk
all danger is gone, brave gait when he walk
day made watchin him climb on rocks
eyes on the dock
honkin along with the march
got him watchin us hop in the pond
waddlin on
jaws all dropped as he plopped right in to the water
we forgot all the medicine
but at least got frederick
no calls or messages
tell em I’m with frederick
true friend till it ended
new men when we left him
we don’t – we don’t
we don’t – we don’t
never forget frederick
never forget frederick

PRACTICE
02:33
|
|||
talkin about it like I need the practice
preachin to choirs, priorly baptist
feelin inspired, meaning is tacit
each being eagerly breathe in the madness
wracked with the lactic acid
kick back when the man’s attractive
ain’t a life where he packed a mac-10
fisher-price didn’t have it back then
(know what you’re askin)
holdin the answers
more in the basket
shown what the task is
own the whole damn house, can’t relax in it
growin older cancels out the advantages
throwin shoulders in a krogers for granny smith
gross odor formin hoardin the cannabis
half-witted, can’t get it, back to the lab with his ass tagged, mask lifted
pickin at a scab, bag of cash missin
when he didn’t have a last gasp in him
if he ask, give him half, it’ll pass
hit him when he sat & lackin ambition
out on the borders of a vegas operation, no mistakin him
agents concentrated on his payment, all the faith in him
say the patience ain’t his favorite, made the paces quick
brain is racin with the hatred in the way it is
motion after motion after motion
hopin that you notice
knowin that you won't
ay
talkin about it like I need the practice
fact is, plans prone to be canceled
you can ooze class
do the math
suit to battle
but happenings mostly random
proving things goin well is an issue, too
usually there’s no tell in the interview
used to be a better sell to be listened to
getting eggshells into the chicken soup
(it's delicious!)
call it a double-dip
all bought parts got comped from the government
crossin his heart, it’s an artists’ apartment
the golf cart’s part of his partner’s project
went hard hitting six figures
flippant, didn’t get rich with it
blip in the grid, kid stick with his intuition
livin with a fit missus
into an even meaner meat grinder
too intent on keeping things kinder
assume an entrance heater feeds fires
tune a beacon, see the scene brighter
new disease relieve his hindsight
new season keep belief high
looseleaf, the key to high life
only me, I need to be higher
I need to be higher
I need to be higher
I need to be higher
I need to be higher
to be higher
to be higher
ay, pass the lighter

PATIENCE
02:43
|
|||
opposite of socks at christmas
blisters on him are the litmus, yet
harmful thoughts’ve gone the distance
still he wanna nix the fitness
subsist synonymous with resistance
been stirrin pots amid launchin missives
live in the fog until it dissolve
it all falls apart when i’ve lost the vision
look
learn to love the long division
earn enough for fallin into
dodgin all the consequences
sure been awful thoughtful since he
went through with the new game
doin away with kool-aid, spinnin
wu tang, abused youth too late
save the effusive language
make sure you came through the danger
don’t get much interest in two cents
invest in you in a new sense
too sensitive to send to rest
two sentences have said you best
put to the test, haven’t proven yet
don’t assume me dead, I move again
the truth at length
removed the debt
approval met
won’t improve the end
I want you to say what you mean
I want you to say what you mean
thinkin it helps if I’m deep in the process
iffy the devil ever kneeled to a project
he get the belt when I plead no contest
till hell freezes, freein the monster
& it gets eager to feed in the conquest
team need me to re-up the content
seems easy, it eats at the progress
B went from readin to bein on top tens
got home, never feel any better
got stoned, never feel any better
bought more, never see em together
whenever we in the venue
I leave the scene in defensive
& lettin both feet out the window
look, no hands – mental holds the wheel aligned
youth stolen, motion been denied
new home grew old, it’s been a while
got no more PATIENCE
tired of waitin
tryin not to crack when my time is wasted
wires firing, mind alive
I’ve got no PATIENCE
but I keep on savin
rakin wages
ain’t no basics
bankin payments, makin statements (I messed it up in the recording lol)
stays THE SAME
AIN’T GOT NO
ay, ay
ain’t GOT no

DAVE FRANCO
03:25
|

[Open Mike Eagle]
Is there anything you want people to do?
[Aesop Rock]
(laughs) What do you mean, in this world?
[OME]
Yeah, I guess!
[Aes]
Just be good to one another, man, you know, like, the negative - negativity is just... people are just negative on their own and they deal with it, you know? So if you're negative to others, then it just makes it harder for everybody. You know what I mean?
[OME]
Yeah, man!
[Aes]
Everyone should, like, at least... at least pretend that they're happy. Even if they're not. Just lie about it.
[OME]
We do. That's part of our job.
[Aes]
Keep doing that, because we need those lies.
--
dave franco play him now in the documentary
debt paid thanks to monster energy
hates to owe, call it common chemistry
vase of water still a thoughtful centerpiece
stopped pretending he got the recipe
bought the remedy
sought the doc & dumped thoughts, she mended me
mentioned all the flaws taught her everything
heed the call to arms, conquer memories
comatose
boy, you’re so close to overdose
know you’re smokin those dosidos
poisoned choice so he boils over
& avoids the issue with white noise
tired of using inside voice
tryin to get you to fight more
& pry truth from the lies I was told
find the code
he cut it kind of close
so you should try it slow
no room to fight a clone
hope you expire old
but you the type to know
music bitin on the low
nuisance like you got to go
standin in line when he handin out cds
see these lines, be like “it seems easy”
previous lifetime speaking freely
ET in the LV scenery
need to phone home much more frequently
receipts keep me in the greenery
given my last name
get in my fast lane
hid him away; no place in the rat race
get an unmarked space in the basement
make it till the next paid vacation
don’t face him when takin the painkillers
motivation in chasing the same feeling
won't wait for the scapegoat; bass notes there to take him away to a place he can lay low
to the top if you’re still alive
turn hide and hope you don’t get caught in the scythe
it’s on sight
claimin all the gall in a fight
and jackknife in the call of an audible plight
yeah, right
(cause you know, like…
you the loudest every time
and you ain’t doin shit)
won a larger part in the get down
won’t stop until six houses
with the marble walls and kitchen counters
bottle service his business outing
insistent on his opinion, found he knew shit about it
quick fixes stalled him, dismissin calls sayin “hit the showers”
print the power
this, his hour
can’t be straight with it
can’t tell you what I mean
hate being fake with you
but I can’t tell you what I think
fan service cut our keys
banterin with ganders at who I’d be
can’t turn the handle, it seems too easy
plans surely canceled, he been deceiving
master of the answers, speaking freely
askin her if that hurts more than heals me
past the appeal and breathin
have to ease the people, don’t think of reasons
you were never needed for deeper feelings
keep your ego clean of the heat you’re dealing
bring a mask and keep the inaction free from
ideally all three of your personas
you won’t get by if you don’t grow up
emotions high but I won’t go nuts
devoted tryin to shoulder us
moment is dying
holding a phone for a light won’t expose all the holes we ignored in our lives
going through motions, we try to ignite a new fire and know it’s a lie
find a reusable line to get through in the strife
moments in time, we coped and we cried
I know we survive, I know we alright
