Get Out of the Car

[Sample]

I see how y'all be trying to front, man

Y'all be fronting, man

[Verse: Aesop Rock]

Been a bit since Mu died

Been a lot more loss in the wake

I recall thinking, "Someday, someone's gonna say it's all from the same cause and effect"

And I just couldn't fathom blaming a whole new page on a made-up chain reaction

Each claim individual peaks and pockets

Pains and a slew of unique nuances, nah mean?

When you wake up eight years non-responsive, it's a lot to process

Gone from a happier jack-in-the-box to a package of clogged-up chakras

Oh, shazbat! Not the "ever after" he wanted

From the "Once upon a time, dot, dot, dot"

Once upon a time, he was so much more than a punchline for his own potshots, ah

Watch the Impossible Kid

Everything that he touch turns promptly to shit

If I zoom on out, I can finally admit

It's all been a blur since Mu got sick

None of the subsequent years stood a chance

Whether you his moms or his mans

Whether you his pops or his girl, I was poison

Heart full of canines, head full of voices

Whole life trying to quiet 'em down

Like a suicide king with a knife in his crown

Hounds at bay, but they just won't stay

True friendship in a tugboat way

Ae go dark in the face of the fucked

When the fucked was a friend, that was basically done

Into the woods go his alien tongue

It was that or a textbook faking of funk, and I can't

Here go the hindsight:

Eight years been one long blindside

I could pinpoint seven more turns that occurred 'cause he never really healed from the first

Oh, what a world, any hack is a myth

Any dap is a joke, any map is a trick

Any graph is a hoax, ease on down

I'm burning up, I'm bleeding out

Knowing ain't half the battle

That's a bullshit quip written by some asshole

You can own what you are and still sit around stoned in your car

Not doing shit, halfway to nil

Cranky and waiting for a boss key and hat full of bills

Get out the car, Aes
