Battery - Aesop Rock[00:00:00]
Yo change the f**kin channel[00:00:23]
I burn a Coma candle[00:00:26]
When the flame fades[00:00:27]
Consider my flatline a soldier's sample[00:00:29]
We them cats talkin noise behind[00:00:31]
That New York trash heap[00:00:32]
Where the stench of commuter[00:00:33]
Briefcase replaces a bad sleep[00:00:35]
And it's worker zig-zagers[00:00:37]
Versus piggy batch flashers[00:00:38]
Training Generation Fallout[00:00:40]
Waterfall bricklayer pincushion crawl out[00:00:42]
There's smoke in my iris[00:00:44]
But I painted a sunny day[00:00:46]
On the insides of my eyelids[00:00:47]
So I'm ready now[00:00:49]
(What you ready for)[00:00:50]
I'm ready for life in this city[00:00:51]
And my wings have grown[00:00:53]
Almost enough to lift me[00:00:54]
I'm a dinosaur with Jones Beach in my hourglass[00:00:55]
Passing the time with serial killer[00:00:58]
Coloringbooks and bags of marbles[00:00:59]
Don't tell me you ain't the droid[00:01:01]
That held the match to the charcoals[00:01:03]
Don't tell me Lucifer and God don't carpool[00:01:05]
(This is our school)[00:01:07]
I'm not trying to graduate to life[00:01:07]
At the curse on the lounge barstool[00:01:09]
Head in a jar on the desk[00:01:11]
Feet dangling in a shark pool[00:01:12]
(Man please) Man please[00:01:14]
My name stands for my being[00:01:15]
And my being stands for the woman who stood[00:01:17]
And braved the storm could raise this evening[00:01:19]
(Brother sun sister moon mother beautiful)[00:01:21]
Yeah middle sibling suitable[00:01:23]
But far from son of excellence[00:01:24]
Back in a long time ago[00:01:26]
I was to wishway the wishes[00:01:27]
But Mister Smits[00:01:29]
I slept through my appointment[00:01:30]
Saw the liquid dreams of a thousand babies solidify[00:01:31]
Rose and And picked wieldedthe[00:01:34]
The second I introduced myself as Nervous[00:01:36]
Well it appears the scars of[00:01:39]
Spokenlearning have rosen[00:01:40]
Some are burning some rose[00:01:41]
Some deserve tall tales[00:01:43]
Some have wrote them[00:01:44]
Some are devotionjust a brutal[00:01:45]
Reprocussion of botion[00:01:46]
Mine are all of the above[00:01:48]
Cuz everything leads to erosion[00:01:49]
Now where I live there's a homeless man[00:01:50]
He sits upon a crate[00:01:52]
He makes a rusty trumpet sound like[00:01:54]
The music that angels make[00:01:55]
Now if you ever come and visit me[00:01:57]
I suggest you watch the show[00:01:58]
Tell him Aesop Rock sent ya[00:02:00]
Just to hear his horn blow like this[00:02:01]
And I ain't getting any younger[00:02:27]
My knuckles wear their bruises well[00:02:29]
I've yet to lose that hunger[00:02:31]
But only time can tell[00:02:32]
Prodigal Son with a prodigal wish[00:02:33]
To sew that prodigal stitch[00:02:35]
And crucify bigot voodoo doll[00:02:37]
On two popsicle sticks[00:02:38]
See your name is Ambiguity[00:02:40]
Is My name something hands can't hold[00:02:41]
But hearts part ocean scapes[00:02:43]
Just to watch the starlet unfold[00:02:44]
It's like sketching a circle in the dirt[00:02:46]
With a pointed stick[00:02:48]
Knowing the wind'll kill it some day[00:02:49]
Still it calls my burning wits for now[00:02:50]
And if I plow the fields[00:02:52]
That don't guarantee plentiful harvest[00:02:53]
But starving artists die[00:02:55]
I set my alarm for five o'clock[00:02:57]
Idols block survival crops the cycle stops for nothing[00:02:58]
The Bible's carp revivalist winos flock by the hundreds[00:03:01]
To the opening scarlet carpets greeting their duel[00:03:04]
Leading the stubborn mule to cruel rugburn[00:03:07]
But y'all numb fuelfrom gut[00:03:09]
I administer eclispe[00:03:10]
There ain't no motor a like martyr-made motor[00:03:12]
Cuz a martyr-made motor don't quit[00:03:14]
I am an epiphany I am wet foot mammal[00:03:17]
Channel surfing my way to the top[00:03:20]
Tugboat in a bottle[00:03:22]
With no holes poked in the nozzle[00:03:23]
I fed em bedlam diluted in limelight[00:03:24]
Till that rookie boogie graduated hostile[00:03:26]
And the vehicle is grandeur[00:03:29]
And it veered over the medium[00:03:30]
The second my halo ran outta helium[00:03:32]
Demoted to thorn crown[00:03:35]
Damn talk about numbskull[00:03:36]
I was born bound to a stencil called symmetry[00:03:38]
But my energy's a rental[00:03:40]
So I take this now to save[00:03:41]
My cute seniorita beholding[00:03:44]
A flame to a lost wick[00:03:45]
Thank you James Anthony[00:03:47]
For the band-aids on my ego[00:03:48]
Y'all are family for life[00:03:50]
I'll take that bullet to preserve you[00:03:51]
I wanna be something spectacular[00:03:53]
On the day the sun runs outta batteries[00:03:55]
Attach my fashion to the casualties of anarchy[00:03:57]
Save my nickels up to buy[00:04:00]
That homeless man a brand new horn[00:04:01]
Then sit up on his crate[00:04:03]
As I witness the beauty born like this[00:04:04]
(I ain't gettin any younger)[00:04:12]
