Yeah

Yeah

Yeah, look

We were rappin' round a handle like baggage claim tags

Scenic route to success, passing Palisade crags

Staring at the summit, wearing plummets on our rib cages

Stuck against rubble, blowing kisses at the cliff faces

Flicked casings in the crossfire, charred fibers

Melted into the flesh of instrumentals like scar liner

Lost ciphers decoded, motives remain hidden

Brake-clipping, and the stars swirling as the Wraith spinnin'

Hitting eighth in the order, crowd the plate with my aura

Barely safe, middle finger tripped the base at the corner

From the crates, I was born to keep tricks up the vinyl sleeve

Seen nothing worded this way, like a silent V

Ultraviolet seeds beam brighter under scorched turf

Scored first, blood cutting grooves into cored earth

Plucking futures out the firmament with tweezers

Since the lab days when crew kept burners next to beakers

Half my team's from Rome, other from Pompeii

Short trips from spring chicken to entree

Write from the top of the bottom like Dante

Guess I had to learn gravity the hard way

Half my team's from Rome, other from Pompeii

Short trips from spring chicken to entree

Write from the top of the bottom like Dante

Guess I had to learn gravity the hard way

Warm breeze of hot air hugged my winded face

Muscle memory outta shape, these are different weights

Ate words when I was starved for attention

From a god in ascendance, to the bottom of dependence

Kept cool like a Freon leak, down, up, up, down

The metronome was a seesaw's creak

Low-key offbeat, sharpest senses pressed flat

Minor problems scaled major, noted where my breaths tracked

In plain English, I measured proof by the wrong angles

Plastic facade torn to smoke like cigar labels

Crossed cables, mixed messages and metaphors

Got everything off of my chest except this xenomorph

Nevermore Park helmet is over my daughter's crown

Goggles got her spotting pits she can crawl around

Still the master of the wince and the scowl

Till she climbs to the peak of her crib with a smile

Half my team's from Rome, other from Pompeii

Short trips from spring chicken to entree

Write from the top of the bottom like Dante

Guess I had to learn gravity the hard way

Half my team's from Rome, other from Pompeii

Short trips from spring chicken to entree

Write from the top of the bottom like Dante

Guess I had to learn gravity the hard way
