[Illogic:]
We the peak of bipedal civilization
Zombie style, steppin' through life in single-file formation
I see no foul, defacing the monument you all worship
On a quest to fall before you learn to crawl, immersed in inertia
[Aesop Rock:]
Okay, it goes novocaine skin, same skeleton within
I tip my swine pass to the zookeeper, then sneak my teacher in
Rusty angel with a DayGlo halo, predicate burner
With a car fueled with pediment, silkworm resident
[Illogic:]
My soul can bask in the rays of freedom reflecting from a seismic sphere
I'm lying here, very alive in speech, elated to be deceased
Immersed in words that reach the highest degree
Just now realizing that I'm an emcee
[Aesop Rock:]
I'm a corroded miner with a shovel and a pick
This tunnel stripped of all basic congeniality, muddy pig leg kickin'
Lickin' my chops for the fast-laners who never stopped in the kitchen
With an overall hate for the plate of coals, my fellows dig in
[Illogic:]
Now I think ink has to be the savior of my sanity
We the peak of bipedal civilization
Zombie style, steppin' through life in single-file formation
I see no foul, defacing the monument you all worship
On a quest to fall before you learn to crawl, immersed in inertia
