Attention Span

[Intro: Aesop Rock & Vast Aire] Every little step we take breaks the dreams Of a war pig itching to re-stitch the seams Every little step we take breaks the dreams Of a war pig itching to re-stitch the seams (Namsayin, when I walk, I wanna break concrete!) Every little step we take breaks the dreams Of a war pig itching to re-stitch the seams Every little step we take breaks the dreams Of a war pig itching to re-stitch the seams [Verse 1: Vast Aire] Ox will spit some shit that'll reflect off the mirror My light beams are mad bright, they stay clever Yo, challenge an Ox member, get a valve severed Found your body in the desert (Scavenger's dessert) Yeah yeah I rap tight like Saran Plus enter battles talkin shit like "Look mom, no hands" I'm tired of cats tryin to sum me You can't add that far yet, that counting is far fetched I treat MC like K-9s Throwin words at they face to see if they bite when they catch I told you my poetry sponsors Gillette Now you standing there wit razors in your head like barrettes Man, if the mic had ass cheeks The sticker in my hand would say priority seating And man, I don't know if it was me or you But your girl was on my dick like she was teethin' You play the role, I'll play the poppy seed on top of you The godspeed is actual, that doesn't mean I act usual One of the first MC's to give the crowd full attention Cuz you need love and affection [Hook: Aesop Rock & Vast Aire] If we could absorb every star in the sky We noticed some shine brighter than others, you wonder why It's the simple things in life that turn the peasants into leaders And we know the differences between the walkers and the sleepers Man if we could absorb every star in the sky We noticed some shine brighter than others, you wonder why It's the simple things in life that turn the peasants into leaders And we know the differences between the walkers and the sleepers [Verse 2: Aesop Rock] I boogie with picketer vision, carbon based stickler City piss aroma, therapy coma, clone sitter Itching to pigeonhole villain soul magnet Feelers activate Passion ate the germ, and the book met the worm I hold a book of matches captive to flash if The sunbeams flatline Via thick fatigue episodes, brewed in batches The flirt of cursed perks nursed broken skeleton patches One muddy veteran collapsed the untapped resource center Housing style pageants My little limbs lasso katydid wings While mankind's babysteps break dirt and demon I know a crossbreed strung well in the key of Mass times weight times tamed semantics Encompassing that which splits lips but never supplied the bandage To hell with plastic, we edit splendid Tap it on the shoulder, grab it, tag it, apprehend it Lend it to the devil to befriend it, wrench it back, mend it again It still never renders suspended 'bove finicky picket fences Now every droid dreams to manufacture hearts Start with cadaver parts and a blueprint He followed the precedent set by war pigs of a yesteryear Let the tears braid And skip a stone over the reservoir to shake the whole charade Gold-plated tomb or spittoon I couldn't see I fell asleep holding an Appleseed, woke up holding a tree The only bridge I ever burned along this legacy I dance Was the one that linked the cities of Prosperity and Chance [Hook: Aesop Rock & Vast Aire] If we could absorb every star in the sky We noticed some shine brighter than others, you wonder why It's the simple things in life that turn the peasants into leaders And we know the differences between the walkers and the sleepers If we could absorb every last star in the sky We noticed some shine brighter than others, you wonder why It's the simple things in life that turn the peasants into leaders And we know the differences between the walkers and the sleepers
