No City - Aesop Rock[00:00:00]
For want of a nail the shoe was lost[00:00:00]
For want of a shoe the horse was lost[00:00:03]
For want of a horse the rider was lost[00:00:06]
For want of a rider the battle was lost[00:00:09]
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost[00:00:13]
And all for the want of a horse shoe nail[00:00:17]
There is a hole in front of the shovel [00:00:26]
Shovel in front of the brawn[00:00:28]
Six billion gorillas for whom the graves yawn[00:00:29]
Each withered his mule-ish days to choose his tool of trade[00:00:33]
Dueling blades that cue the cruel charade and fuel the flames[00:00:36]
If you would clue the crew into the civil[00:00:39]
Just get the food and[00:00:42]
Land like you the man who flew the coop over the pit-bulls[00:00:43]
Dash back flashy to compassionate nano police[00:00:46]
Sat beneath an avalanche and jagged inadequacies[00:00:49]
And I would stop the violence more than I was Pontius Pilate[00:00:52]
Cops and robbers riot by the vows of noxious sirens[00:00:55]
A is gullible he figure all man equal no brainer[00:00:59]
Take it his friends and neighbors didn't cater[00:01:02]
Moms raised the babies through a very church-y eighties[00:01:05]
Sunday mornings reinforced the waiting gates of Hades[00:01:08]
And he brazen but apparently inferno bound now[00:01:11]
For when a man of cloth recite his wrongs he wouldn't bow down[00:01:15]
The punishment should fit the reasons you must punish him[00:01:18]
Never puncture skin or pull the colored rugs from under them[00:01:21]
Two opposing mother ships shall not employ the gunner's deck[00:01:24]
Cause brotherhoods of public good do not employ the unctuous in you[00:01:28]
Observing how the giveth is disproportionate to the taketh away decide to maketh his day[00:01:31]
All the stoic odium glowing a coal holster[00:01:37]
When he coulda stood easily in the tub juggling toasters[00:01:40]
No mountain too high[00:01:44]
No city too far[00:01:45]
No coma tonight[00:01:47]
No city tomorrow[00:01:49]
No fire too live[00:01:51]
No city too charred[00:01:52]
No treaty to sign[00:01:54]
No city to guard[00:01:55]
I pick the phone up with a grown-up mode approach[00:02:23]
Skin crawlin off the drawl and[00:02:26]
Now it clawed the awkward tone up[00:02:27]
I'd known it wasn't roses but hoped it was less corrosive[00:02:29]
Coast in to the focus of the grossest diagnosis like[00:02:32]
Holmes the barnacles that chew upon the flesh of man[00:02:36]
Have clued into suitor as capital to a beggars hand[00:02:39]
Comfortably sung a stubborn legacy of gluttony[00:02:42]
With carnivores that burrow like hunters into the blood and meat[00:02:45]
Umm what [00:02:49]
The Jenny chin up and the city picked her sinning pen up let her numb the spitting stigma[00:02:50]
Along came a spider sold her eggs to any buyer[00:02:55]
Now the shooter in back is six legs wider than the driver[00:02:58]
If you make no friends on the way to the top rung[00:03:02]
There is no secret handshake club I do not give a f**k[00:03:05]
But know the cancers make the olive branches obviously standard[00:03:08]
So when they extend from the yachts and mansions drop your cannons[00:03:11]
All kings hang em for the cliff side drip dry[00:03:15]
Will he clip to zip line or slip for his final dip dive[00:03:18]
If he live will he survive the milligrams of middle ground[00:03:21]
They pump into the pinstripe pentagrams over tinsel town[00:03:25]
Or kill a man who trickled down the city with his scissors out as sickles[00:03:28]
Dipped in military hells bells and whistles[00:03:32]
Riders to the east[00:03:35]
Now the wild tribes[00:03:35]
Thank you for the peace on earth and mercy mild high[00:03:37]
No mountain too high[00:03:41]
No city too far[00:03:42]
No coma tonight[00:03:44]
No city tomorrow[00:03:45]
No fire too live[00:03:47]
No city too charred[00:03:49]
No treaty to sign[00:03:50]
No city to guard[00:03:52]
And all for the want of a horse shoe nail[00:03:54]
