Aesop Rock - Save Yourself Lyrics
(Chill with that ill behavior) - KRS samplePull the pin out, sheep creep in wolf garbFronted by the Hail Mary parry lunge mixerKill the populace for stability, jeopardy's a sticklerIts bob and weave amalgam played the falcon to your fixtureI branch out, arms flailing backwardswailin upon a tidy sound circuitslightly foul Gershwinwith a bed of nails and drumlust plus disgusted serviceworkin in shifts opposite the asbestos brain furnaceI be the now observatory eye ear antenna feelerSpittin like a dragon with a similar demeanorstood innocent bystand witness the diehard fans turn Rip Vanin the poppy fields of N.Y.'s orchestrated brick gauntletNow I'm thinkin who am I Jabberwocky Superfly bent leftPushin war without the ten step cushion and what (what)I plan to hold this beat positive sacred in these golde veinsUntil the day I die from grimace overloadIt's shock (it's shock)treatment offered by the weekendthis still be a getaway, let's display the sequence it goes:One for the heartless thievery turning my guardian angel harplessAnd the rest to sweep the mess under the carpet (under the carpet)I drag a yellow taxi meter behind every measureAnd charge cats for labeling me shepherd"That'll be Six Fifty plus tip darlin,I take cash, credit, check, money-order, gold and cigarette cartons"Huh, got caught up in the universe tryin to zoom in on stardomForgot the passion plus the hatred, both were based in CarbonNext time you wanna be a hero try saving somethin other than hip-hopAnd maybe hip-hop'll save you from the pit-stopKill em all, yield(naw man It wasn't me it was Holden Caulfield brotherI just read and pulled the trigger)Oh God, well leave me to tiptoe past the pearly gatescapture the halo, jet back to base, step past the chasethe bad taste of jet-lag and weight slackersThere aint nothin broken, where you at?The pistons pump perfect, where you at?The bass tone is Merlin, where you at?This service is a urgent workin surgeonsPurging formulas lookin for an improper cause is whack(Chorus 2x)What are you saving, honestly? (honestly, honestly)What are you saving, honestly? (honestly, no honestly)What are you saving, honestly? (damn)Promise me you gon shut the ***** up and recognizeWhat you holdin aint really broken?I don't flick neeedles like my sick friend (friend)I don't march like Beetle Bailey through a quick trend (trend)I don't frequent church's steeples on my weekend (end)And I don't comment if you formulate a weak Zen.All I ever really wanted was a getawayI'ma take a chance by letting a brook slide for what I got in my handsI can not agree to follow a leader while on the borderlineA war without a reason for the Brady hates goreBring out your dead we can put em in a pileAnd burn em with the novels for the kids then to admireKIll the ones that speak from a different lifeBrewin other killer noise makin the sentiment...Okay, welcome to the Kamikaze bottle rocket *****pitLive by the icy cold hand of bad intention youth blenderOh yeah I'll let God warm the bench for now butI'll ascend to spin y'all dizzy(and for the record I'm bringin my t.v. with me)Yo, let the commoners speak publiclyThen disperse eye jammies for cats that swear by third pupilBut can't see past the loopholeMother*****er, my word is born like Siamese tripletsWith doctor, lawyer, rocket scientist promise(let em grow leisurely)Hey Mom, I'ma fix without my probe along this pathOnce my shpeel's perfected I'ma save you a seat in the front rowOf Aesop Rock's twelve steps to shut the ***** up seminarAnd when all these bickering crowds turn solid you gon be proudI tack hacks to the (backboard)Honesty's a (latchcord)Fury's far from (obsolete)Serenity's a (crack war)*Raw caricature of mayhem standard branded by the laborWith a thousand reasons to end this for every one of you saviorsSaw the brightest burst ironically wide from the vacant stageGave it a pound for burning where bunk ratio's engagedKeep me posted as to when you grasp something mature tosit and sulk about mister, and I'll consider pickin up your record(Chorus 2x)The Authors, they aint got nothin to saveThe Overground, man they aint got nothin to saveDef Jux, they aint got nothin to saveThe Addams Family, they aint got nothin to saveWeightless, they aint got nothin to saveStronghold man, they aint got nothin to saveRhymesayers baby, they aint got nothin to saveAesop Rock, I aint got nothin to saveit's llike that***- crack whore
