The Explanation

(Verse 1)

[Aesop Rock]

Most days promote the close range

The city on my back in black with chrome fangs

Walk through the valley of death with no face

Hold flames to the laminate cancel in both names

Hammer of the gods on a hip swung low

With a chariot as only as sweet as the gun smoke

Tugboat lug no weapons stole the front row

One more tekken for the cut throat sections

After you are finished lighting fires on the periphery

You will be told to wiggle your mittens into the pillory

And sip that's bittersweet shit

That's green eyes burnt by the prettiest eclipse

Ready on the left for the boom town battery

That shower medicine over the municipality

Of the freaks on the fritz where the scenery depicts

More skulls than a mike giant opening at 6

Some take bones as a token of the glitch

Some cope only if they're opening a wrist

Just when you thought the galaxy out grew them

He is back, gigantic and panicky with the truant

Welcome to the terror dome, make yourself at hellish home

All you need is bread and a zenith to play the Zeppelin on

Skip to the wall all stoney

And hit the deck running like a snow cone at Coney, homie

(verse 2)

[Reason a.k.a. Onry Ozzborn]

Just when you thought it was safe, one escaped

Then multiplied into five personas with fake names

Intimidated for most of his life

Start a world different and spoke as if a mastermind

No hopes, magic for real rusty

Built his walls Rubix, stained glass above

He was a voice of onlooker slander, contempt, malice

Stone throwing promiscuous Abigails in his palace

Unless this was just family, began to be

More of an architect actually fantasy, phantom to be

Army of darkness but light of the eat feather

He's conjurer metamorphosized vials of velvet weather

But like to be cursed but nervous holiday zero

Arise a verbal discernible text holy committee

Most to marvel at lunatic more or like tomorrow like it inside the serpent

The galaxy out grew him but truancy was his purchase

(Verse 3)

[Eligh]

So many angles that dangle to try to catch me in a cage

But they caught me in a rage so I'm tearing out my page

Rip skip jump fly run whatever ways

So many ins and outs I’m a rhymer of many talents and trades

Serving up tantalizing condiments is just a part of my days

Touching the keys I make believe I'm standing on the stage

With a light on me put it right on me

Cuz honestly, I'm  and oddity, an anomaly

With a god-shaped box inside my chest so spy on me by all means

Get off the grate, hand off the state of mind I dwell in

This mind I'm telling

Get off my case, get off my land, get off my mountain top my man

Adamant conclusion, I use my weapons the basics cause confusion

Avalanches of evolution like ambulances that make execution

Your presence is not needed here, so keep it clear

Keep your fear behind closed doors with your herpes and your cold sores

Burpies and your cold wars, I'm more like a warlock

To keep your windows and your doors locked

Cuz I can fly I am the crow

Melting ice caps fuck that I am the snow

How are you, this is how I do

Clean the population mind with visions from the skew

A few things I overheard while talking to myself

A few things I overheard while talking to myself

How are you, this is how I do

I clean the population mind with the infamous few
