Merit

[Verse 1] Alright, I can hear the ocean in a shell But for the life of me I've never heard your surges more than raindrops in a well Paladin tribe, break beat elitists, element five Fully sold on operation, jeopardize of my survival Will survive when sprayed by heaven's liquid ammunition I'll survive when betrayed by my brethren's wicked ambitions I'll survive when braided with shut eye; sticky thickets and thorns, born clutching a fistful The hurt's morbidly blissful Forms spiraling, sovereigns bring the rise in the funnel A chorus line of blind crazes tap the water, find the tunnel (Find the tunnel) As skinny click, mechanics flock to block pick of the land We stretch the Earth around the canvas, drag a stick in the sand And pan the hell out, timid, you're tireless, bold The cold that ire spits clicks subtly on supremacy, therefore blemishe me Oh, the treacherous penalty centers me, renders me bait Skating slalom through this churning murder columns I am not entirely trained to undo the shame And all I got's three pennies and a rusty mic unto my name Unto my game, defy the Siamese approaches Whose delinquent dichotomy comps Emerald City in wondrous novelty Drink drum, sip a snare to spit a rigid sequence, that's when freak sons Fade to black just like these pretty pink lungs, slugger Paper dolls' facade as swashbuckler (Yeah) Bounty hunt the front to document the frosh cluster I am structure with a smoke ring, militant distinction With a cloak-and-dagger stagger prime directive And all else burrows itself amongst drunken perspective, fade me I flee the scene grippin' the missing link like chain gang escapees [Chorus 1] Build me, kill me We cadets hold determination as property, undeniably divine We leak passion for the noise There is not a track to cherish from he who lacks merit [Verse 2] And all I think about's the motion, exerted to color mavericks alerted Herd a billion nervous lost child prodigies home to flourish (Yeah) Now taciturn facets burn open to yield malarkey Navigator when wrestled on fancy driftwood out the vessel And I settle a conquest, stamp it, label it fresh (Fresh) I in turn apply policies which require intrinsic merit (Uh) Try to wallow down these yellow bricks with yesterday's appendix on hold Spot it like sky horizon, posed as barcodes Load your fantasy, interject a bad dream candidly Blue in the face, through in the chase between myself and fame's embrace Face engaging presence resonant with chiaroscuro atmospheric traps Inhabit the land of denied clearance (Yeah) Pigeonholed styles, drop similar, the course, the corpse patients Lacing non sequiturs that spittle off the chin (Spittle off the chin) Upon the recognition pilot soften up the grin Spinning me dizzy, cold, bending my city to hold water Yeah, we got affiliates, cadet merit and brilliance Cleric apparel king-thing, crooked, I shrink, I sink into my book It's like fury blew the scaffolding askew and tainted curiosities Allow the freak show to continue Forty thieves received the cue, commence blending a planet Decorate the dusk like henna to hand We unknowingly sketched the pentagram by sending clans of caffeinated couriers Upon a quest to run the perfect circle 'round a star Bizarre pattern with a bad vibe like Jafar to Aladdin Pardon the carbon-based blaze amongst the stagnant trend frenzy It offends me; wait, ain't it the Liquid Soul therapy? I sip to grip a stationary pillar, yet We slipped these boogie nights, sucked wattage from rookie lights, now you proud I'ma be there when you rush in just to touch the mushroom cloud Drink failure, Lord have mercy on their dreams Pretty pixels tend to trickle off the screen (Know what I mean?) [Chorus 2] Build me, kill me We consider fresh sound play to sink frighteningly close to extinct My life line is an assignment to Feed the arts my spirit and bleed, merit [Verse 3] The conclusion is subtle Huddled amongst hermetic gutter-bugs, peasants, and drunks Junkies to critics, sick dictators, haters, kings to alley urchins, monarchs, narcs to liars Circling the wild fires, live wires I tend to blend an action less than orderly in With an otherwise uncommonly primer to normalcy torn These traits fade as cadavers due to conflicting data matter First heard as remarkable's now labeled as unmarketable Damn, thorn in my side Now the high five hives despised from freeing demating alien seedlings, retreating Burst the threshold, make the vessel capsize Then the hollerings of buoyant survivors treading awoke dreaded leviathan Deaded, headed to crunch the world of MC etiquette By dismantling mics prior to passing towards degenerates How you like that settlement? You feel that? A maverick like myself bottles, will quit 'til the cocoon naturally peels back This little light of mine shines at a hundred billion times The magnitude of every star, within an ample sky sample I alerted my sole crusaders to trade the games Prescribed them strict diets of DDT and Kelthane It fester when ingested, glorious vellum Addressing helots to zealots, to Jezebel's to hellish felons Granted my span of attention is not what it used to be But most of y'all delinquents ain't amusing me no more, kid, merit
