Lanterns

[Verse 1: Confucius MC] Wide screen with a curve, lights beam from the words The good dreams are a trip, the nightmares can disturb Wide angles of life's gambles, hear a lot of shit But tend to forget the wise rambles Just a crumb of wisdom Hollow feeling like something’s missing Running two time lines fam, something's different Herb vendors, serving up canned weed I'm laying low like Sam Seed With the lantern in my hand to proceed Through these dark tunnels And vast mazes, penning world class pages Bare pretenders, highly skilled mime artists It’s just a circus, watching who could climb fastest The prime artist, the Sage fam, my line reaches My rhyme book is a divine thesis I penned pieces That left dents in the densest reaches Never knowing what the centre piece is Never knowing who the sentence reaches, words manifest Some shit that you thought can become flesh Strange alchemy My brain lay it out for me May the band play it loud for me When I'm outtie B Biros, plush paper, piant - yo! I'm painting pictures of the crushed equator Through my hazy eyes Where I swim in the confusion, the Internet age Where we live with the intrusion [Verse 2: Sonnyjim] I drive fast and talk slow I'm sipping Bordeaux in Bordeaux Killed a fox, cut me a couture coat Buongiorno Beach house in Borneo Girl Scout Cookie wax , smoking on the Oreo I had to risk it for the biscuit, dabbed it and dipped it Put it in the Pyrex and whipped it I necked the vodka Ate the lobster Live long and prosper, flip the Oscar I pull the ting like Go! Gadget Guerrilla tactics, you can feel the fibre of my fabric Pop the pinger, shave the cocaine like ginger Send it with the messenger Melinda I got that fire work Like the fifth of November Pull out a brick out like Jenga You betcha Apply pressure, take you out like a stretcher Finesser, number one selectah Uh [Verse 3: Verbz] I stare blind into skies and watch time pass And life's fast I know, though might chance Appreciating all there is to be taken in eyes glance Wonder if life's ours, underneath the night's stars Asking which path to take while we find ours Chance fate, run the race another day For only slumber awaits, succumb to ways or rise above ‘em Tired and stubborn, a product of my environment rugged Where youngens stay thuggin' and jugglin’ weight Huggin’ a block that ain't loved‘ em, I guess we chase what we given Livin’ day to day In the same place we sin in, and traipse the plains Plagued with hate, jakes and villains While I stay chillin' with the same mates, eighth billin' And some stay with it, traits of the young Enabled by the funds that we all cradle in the slums Lay all cards on the table, still chased by all we've done [Verse 4: Jehst] Ay yo my thoughts off track with a 40 sack of Train Wreck Walking a razor blade’s edge with the brain dead Faded like a blend cassette, in your tape deck Survive in the jungle? Best take heed and take check Somebody might run up in your spot first These Flintstones shot rock work, like clockwork Ludovico technique so I can't sleep ‘Til I'm under coroner's sheets with no heartbeat Tired eyes pried wide shut by the equipment Rapid Eye Movement, now I'm losing my religion We're all aspiring to a living contradiction Precog recognition for criminal conviction We're in a critical condition On this blue marble The food sparkle Strap the zoot, loop the sample Set a crude example , for the next gen Collect ends, trying to cop a mansion like the X-Men's
