lyrics
[Chorus One]
yeah, I ain’t never been this potent,
quantifying my involvement for a rap quotient,
long division, undue oceans,
carry decimals in that love potion,
number 9 for secondary motions
(check)
[Verse One]
check the hand wave for the papal states,
electrified clown car,
narcoleptic congressional jakes
fallate them stakes,
masturbate with what international relates.
I’ve watched the news,
ate Joad’s grapes,
paroled with parlayed, harangued greats,
whose P.R. funds,
yeah they ran out,
and that pay for opinion biz,
suddenly a tap out.
count to ten, tap on that mat,
suddenly that yogic flat in the hip part of town
ain’t where that ass at,
hit it just like that
[Chorus One]
[Chorus Two]
I push my ears to the seers,
translate my senses here
I push my ears to the seers,
translate my senses here
I push my ears to the seers,
translate my senses here
I push my ears to the seers,
translate my senses here
[Chorus One]
[Verse Two]
check that hand wave in the figure 8’s
traced on that styrofoam in the heap of waste,
decaying half-life ideas race
track stars incumbent with that ham for face
elected by a partisan majority place.
and I’ve seen my mind gerrymandered in the process of process,
over, stood, waiting patient for that end
to signal a logic,
endgame raids
they took me piece by piece,
allotted me a wallet,
and a stipend for every time I mentioned
I’m finishing college.
but then I closed my eyes,
ensnared in the senses of my lies,
omission of my self from all these letters exorcised.
yeah I’ve never been this potent
while the eyes have been this dry.
yeah I’ve never been that potent,
utilized so many “I”s
the definition of idiosyncratic; a beautiful, raw odyssey through depersonalization and free association against the canon and toward a new one Rhys Langston
