Daylight

[Intro: Digital Underground sample & Aesop Rock] "Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop! And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn" "Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop! And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn" "Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop! And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn" "Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop! And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn" (Aiyyo...) [Verse 1: Aesop Rock] Put one up for Shackle Me Not, clean Logic Pro-creation I did not invent the wheel, I was the crooked spoke adjacent While the triple-6ers' lassos keep angels roped in the basement I walk the block with a halo on a stick, poking your patience Y'all catch a thirty-second flash visual Dirty cooperative med platoon Bloom, head-trip split ridiculous Fathom the splicing of first-generation fuck-up With trickle-down anti-hero smack (Kraken!) I pace me game for zero hour completion cretin, splash Duke of early retirement picket dream American Nightmare hogging the screen I'll hold the door open, so you can stumble in If you'd stop following me 'round the jungle gym Now it's "honor," and I spell it with the "H" I stole from "heritage" Merit crutched on the wretched refuse of my teeming resonance I promise, tempest-tossed breed with a bleeding conscience See, the creed accents responsive, but my sports divorced the wattage And I'm sleeping now — wow! —yeah, the settlers laugh You won't be laughing when your covered wagons crash You won't be laughing when the buzzards drag your brother's flags to rags You won't be laughing when your front lawn is spangled with epitaphs (You won't be laughing!) Then I'll hang my boots to rest when I'm impressed So I triple knot 'em and forgot 'em (Uh) His origami dream is beautiful But, man, those wings will never leave the ground Without a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down [Chorus: Aesop Rock] All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day Put the pieces back together my way All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day Put the pieces back together my way All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day Put the pieces back together my way All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day Put the pieces back together my way [Post-Chorus: Digital Underground sample] "Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop! And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn" "Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop! And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn" "Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop! And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn" "Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop! And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn" [Verse 2: Aesop Rock] Slacker-bound intimate tabloid headline with a pulse (Pulse) Shimmy across the centerfold, enter dead time engulfed Divvy crumbs for the better souls Put seven deadly stains, and hear the blame to crystal conscience The result's a lowlife countin' on one hand what he's accomplished Okay, link me to activism chain, activate street sweep Plug deteriorating zen up in pen-dragon I hock spores coursed by the morbid Spreading of mad men, Alley gospel Sinking your Lincoln-Log cabin and Charlie Chaplin waddle I could zig-zag and zig 'em again Before the badge gleam sparkled in my brick wall windows Another thick installment of one night in Gotham Without the wretched; Houston, we have a problem Attached to the festive batch of city goblins Who split holiday freaks on a box cut cinema high road bellow Head gripped, watch red bricks turn yellow Sort of similar to most backbones at Camp Icarus Where all fiddler crabs congregate and get pampered for bickering Life's not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman You only call her a bitch 'cause she won't let you get that pussy Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests (Nope) Or maybe you're just an asshole who couldn't sweet talk the princess (Haha) Kiss the speaker wire, Peter pacifism pegging threshold Stomach full of halo kibbles Wings span cast black upon vigils Here to Duck Hunt ticker tape vision and pick apart the pixels I got a friend of polar nature, and it's all peace You and I seek similar stars, but can't sit at the same feast Metal captain, this cat is askin' if I've seen his little lost passion I told him, "Yeah," but only when I pedaled past him [Chorus: Aesop Rock] All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day Put the pieces back together my way All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day Put the pieces back together my way All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day Put the pieces back together my way All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day Put the pieces back together my way [Post-Chorus: Digital Underground sample] "Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop! And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn" "Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop! And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn" "Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop! And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn" "Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop! And keep on! 'Til the break of dawn"
