[Sample]
I see how y'all be trying to front, man y'all be fronting, man
[Verse 1: Aesop Rock]
Been a bit since Mu died, been a lot more loss in the wake
I recall thinking some day 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
Nahmean? 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 s***
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
A' go dark in the face of the f*****
When the f***** was a friend I 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 a******
You can own what you are
And still sit around stoned in your car
Not doing s***, halfway to nill
Cranky and waiting for a boss key and hat full of bills
Get out the car, Aes
