it's time to "go go gadget" get it in a minute like I'm desperate
dare to be great, trusting fate but working late without a respite
is my blueprint weightless? Too smooth of a hue to smudge the pages
doing what the 'keep it true' have done for ages from the stages
comin' up & underrated, hurry up and say you knew him first
not sayin' he's the man but he's the master of his universe
3rd person's for jerks, conserved - earnin' the perks
deserved, learning what works, heard herbs turnin' out worse
occured, blurting a verse could give birth to the next styles
so I'm down in the studio longer than persian textiles
cold sombre reptiles, behold the truest sonic fusion
skewing time and future with an audible illusion
Eno he know Martin, U2, you know he knows new music
so I do it hoping he'd approve of my using it
hip-hop flirting with youth, must be a mid-life crisis
realizing me & this beat are now the same age as I write this
it hits close to home, home slice, when it's nice
fuck the hype, yo it ain't Coca Cola, it's rice
cut the mic, sike I'm fusing with the feedback and I need that
I'm as talented as Mr. Ripley is, kid, believe that
I only listen to Mos, DOOM, Black, & Blu
still difinitively fucks with Definitive Jux too
plus a major lazer shout-out to that dude CX Kidtronix
you should do a beat and get me and Jay Electronica on it
I could vomit out a lot of common culture crap
but I don't spend enough time reading magazines at malls for that
heard tv on the radio playing in American Apparel
couldn't register the raw, staring at sterile
sheep's cloothing, a wolf like me sees phases of the moon as psychic
couldn't regulate my jaw from mouthing "god I like it"
Lord, save us something soon if there's a thing to save
I ponder mortality and give thanks for every single day
I don't give a damn where this ranks on or below the surface
it's keeping me from going crazy, so it's worth it.
