lyrics

Extended suspended notions of victory
O litany of statistically satisfactory batteries
Of success, cause we glitter on the TV sets
Get it off your chest (yeah I said cracka)

Now I've seen spirits flip breakbeats
From termite hills by baobab trees
Flippin' MCs back to Senegalese
Incantations

Human beings flash back to
Matter and matter is music
I saw Prince roll out on the gondola of soul down the Mississippi in '83
Straight down to the source
Saw the delta open like a lovers palm and
The song spread out in the wind, back over the ocean

See I
Shape-shift with my free speech
Rearrange new cultures every day of the week but
The economy's rough like powerpuffs and
Dr. Katz animation so
How the fuck you gonna make it through these amalgamations of nations
It's all bullshit quickly fallin' apart like
Puzzles that never work from the start so
You better grab on to your heart and realize
There's just a little bit of pie left
And those slices like crumbs, kay

All you suckers looking for apples
In a world of worms
Figure out you're just better off
Spreading out your mental germs
AKA memes
When you flip these it's like microchips exploding
All MCs be holding what they got which be they reality
That's what keeps smolderin'

This here is tradition listen
I"m gonna catch you in the bend
We all gonna lead on
Like we all was Buddy Bolden

Say Ra
How'd you
Like to
Hustle down to
Boogaloo Station
Revive that old vibe
Old time love song

Ripple on...

I catch flows like endos on Diamondbacks
Think so hard that my brain shoots smack
Just to keep it, easy, and all other MCs get on my shit like they toe jammin'
Don't even understand I'm like the hangnail that never goes stale
Keep it all together while you all just fucked up from Jheri Curl gel
Up in your eye
Trying to strive some shit but
Yeah, why don't you just stop and try a little
Peace
