Nigga, you betta drink half a gallon of Shaolin Before you pluck the strings of my violin My life is orchestrated, like London symphony Concentrated, niggas waited and waited I'm birthday whistles, belated
Blow out the candles, I wait in the darkness like a vandal The silhouette of set in the mirror on the mantle Fire place is in the heart, water places the art 'Round the island of desiring where most primitives stalk
Sacrificing their daughters, these primordial waters Carry a feminine agenda that no man ever taught us True they captured and caught us, transported, sold us and bought us Constituted and lawed us, distorted truths that they taught us
We rebelled, then fought us, we conformed, then they formed us Now y'all niggas rhyming 'bout material possessions My Adidas are three years old like my daughter, niggas Rhyme 'bout Alize and need to rhyme about water
But out of chaos comes order Out of chaos comes order, out of chaos comes order Out of chaos comes order, out of chaos comes order Out of chaos comes order, out of chaos comes order Fake niggas run for the border
La la la la, la la la la La la la la, la la la la
In a past life I was a woodcarver's knife The sharpened blade of a woodcutter The eldest son of the chief's brother A maker of drums
We scraped the insides of goat hides And seek the hollows where sound resides Offering the parts we did not use To invoke the muse
Music of the ghettos, the cosmos The Negroes, the necros Overcomers of death, disciples of breath Dissection of drumbeats like Osirus by Seth
Break beats into fourteen pieces Dissembled chaos, organized noise A patchwork of heartbeats to resurrect True b-boys, be men
Let's mend the broken heart of Isis Age of Aquarius, mother nature is furious While you rhyme about being hardcore, be heartcore What is it that we do art for?
Metaphor, metasin, it's an age of healing Why not rhyme about what you're feeling or not be felt Deal with the cards you're dealt Calling on tarot readers and sparrow feeders To cancel the Apocalypse Metaphorically speaking, metaphorically speaking
