[Aesop Rock]
2
I start my city with a brick (one brick)
3
Then add another brick (two bricks)
4
Brick by brick, I manufacture homes for fallen angels
5
I ain't no great Samaritan, that's just the way the game goes
6
Respect the polars but acknowlege middle-value rainbows
7
My snout turned up from dream factory eyelids
8
Slingin bottled prosperity for the kamikaze colonels
9
Yeah rocks the match that burned the Nazi journals
10
And plottin verticals amidst blatantlly horizontal
11
Models then swallowed by famished potholes
12
And I'm tired
13
Tied up on these functions
14
Killer cottoncandy clouds and huckleberry justice league
15
Another knuckle-dragger dungeon breed
16
Run, breathe, sit, bellow
17
Wild Aes scream through your style to hear the echo
18
Aight then, flinch for the great granddaddy payback
19
When Little Billy bought a Tugboat
20
Now he thinks he's Captain Ahab
21
Facist takes more than pegleg's birds and eyepatches
22
Learn that lesson, you'll be swashbuckling with the best of them
23
Wonder why you wept over spilled milk
24
And got your crayons wet, the room reaks of a thousand bayonettes
25
I'll fision vision with a lie longer than your most walked meridian
26
Connecting life with that little species of idiots
27
We've now officially scraped barrel bottom
28
Aesop Rock an Apple to the core but ya'll ignored him
29
I know a planet made of porcelain
30
And once I get tired of holding this gavel up
31
Ya'll prayer circles met him up born again
32
I ain't too good for tap water
33
Play "Taps" out of order
34
For a ballad, corpse a dead man walkin
35
You can lead a man to a city but that don't assure civility
36
You can beat a man to death with Aesop Rock bootleg cd's
37
(That's more fun anyway)
38
Some cats Float, some cats don't
39
I speak in Farenheit and burn off colon lyric
40
Diss blatant harassment, spit honor, whistle fearless
41
Don't dismiss the billygoat appearance for that common sheep
42
Chorus*Aesop overlapping Illogic, fading in and out of each other*
43
[Aesop Rock]
44
Platforms have been erected
45
Effigies built
46
Slogans coined, songs have been written
47
Rumors have been circulated
48
Autographs faked
49
The hourglass smashed and didn't leave me an escape
50
Moving boxes have been worn out
51
Mantlepieces dusted
52
Idols idolized, the sands have been shifted
53
Curtains have been closed
54
Sleepers all waked
55
The hourglass smashed and didn't leave me an escape
56
[Illogic] *overlapping Aesop, fading in and out*
57
Now with my trusty paperclip
58
I picked locks of thoughts vault
59
Finding the garden barren
60
The harvest fruitless
61
Only the Tree of Life flourishing
62
Wanting to take a bite but I'm toothless
63
Is that, predestination or is it by design?
64
That I'm trapped in time sand
65
Show radio mission control but for my rhymes
66
Man 'cause I can like aluminum
67
And I recycle my consciousness
68
This is just a note
69
For any action or lack thereof there's a consequence
70
[Illogic]
71
Wingless angels
72
Stroll a top shapeless cottonballs
73
With halos in your syringe
74
Celestial ground is found broken
75
Exposing a bottomless depth
76
Where heartless spines awake to devour
77
The small piece of your soul that's left
78
You're immersed in sound floating
79
Aimless destination
80
Drop anchor to gain stability
81
Stare out potions, restrain fertility
82
Pedestal talk is a token
83
Soaked in pockets where lives topics lack conceptual, ridicule
84
The night breathes but light's choking
85
Darkness occupies the throne
86
Where poems are persecuted
87
The purity at times dilluted
88
Rhymes are executed
89
For genre I'm told when has-beens attempt
90
To cause heat to rise and wonder why they're trapped in cold
91
Life's an oragmi box and I'm hidden within the fold
92
So when the yarn unravels, I won't be caught by surprise
93
And as society's fabric of orthodoxes dismantle
94
I'll see you embracing the pentagram within this crucifix disguise
95
See when the canvas stands before me
96
I'm compelled to spill a vision
97
For the sinners that listen, I got three spikes and a thorned crown
98
It seems I need a new soul 'cause mine is worn down
99
But from the pregance of my hardship was born style
100
Still my pen bleeds and stains the paper with thought
101
Finding me lost among statues of mainstream idols
102
Drowning in melted ice to reinforce that breath is vital
103
If your father and his father were fish out of water
104
You must break the cycle
105
How many times must a plant be uprooted for it to die?
106
When it's smothered with lies that abolish the potency of the sky
107
So when the stars burn out and God replaces the bulbs
108
With a million watts
109
And throws the switch, sparks filament
110
Hurting new giants and flocks
111
I stand on my own two aura illuminated in red
112
Showcasing the agony held within this welded spirit
113
Sacrificing itself for the health of a masocistic culture
114
Yearning for the truth that we speak but refuse to hear it
115
Chorus
Aesop Rock- One Brick
