Have a Fun Stay (feat. Deric Norgren)

lyrics

seeping in through osmosis...
I see the fear in the faces, and see the traces
I'm crossing bridges, crossing fingers, crossing laces
I'm underrated, under-paid and over-stimulated
leap of faith considered plotted proper, and then taken
hover like a helicopter, brother on the wing
wary of the weather, flinging letters like a sliing
into the enemy's cerebelum - melting all the bling
with a fundamental alchemy, making a new thing
a new thought, new ways to turn coal into a diamond
I've got more than a big mouth and impeccible timing
it's perspective if you get it, if you don't then keep climbing
all you need to know now, is that I'm proper with my rhyming
got a joint in the sock and a master lock on the language
been collecting all the jet fuel and discarding the baggage

Up up and away, as they say!
have a safe flight, and have a fun stay

(we're on a runway) x8

now draw all the bridges
the catapult just lanched & knocked off the hinges
rocks off - rolling stoner, hopped into a jagger bush
lopped off peter's cottontail and shot him with a dagger look
up up and away through the woods
made off with the money stash and half of the goods
traded off with the natives for some hash and a kayak
pelt hat rapper with a bartender buy back
trying not to let the fun times get me side-tracked
so thanks for the track homie, glad we could ride that
respect to my brother dums for knocking out another one
we gotta do something til the mothership comes
and I'll probably keep mumbling throughout the fade out
cookie-cutter song structure's totally played out
