Aesop Rock, Blueprint - Alchemy lyrics

Yeah shit talk extraordinaire
Print-motherfucking matic
I got like eight bars to kill time to spill
I'm in the place with
Motherfuckin' Aes Rizzle aes-Riggidy-Rock
You know what I'm saying?
The engineer, obsession right here uh huh
Like this

I spit with an immense amount of power
Sparks flame showers, cowards, cower
Underneath our
Storm clouds that indicate the
Acid rain hours
Now or, never, ever, ending on a bad note
Ripping a crab's throat
For spitting a bad quote
(Blueprint what's your approach?)
I smash black folk and white folk
Alike for jokes with mics
And make a Kodak moment out of
The most boring open mic
I'll make a sad fan appreciate rap again
Fuck around and forget just
How whack it's been
I'm a bad man (Why's that?)
I catch bullets in my molars, body slam boas
And take flight with the weight of
The world on my shoulders
And play David Blaine on any
Chains that hold us
What started out as food for thought
Turned into thoughts to turnin' crews into
Food in hopes to satisfy my
Insatiable appetite to dine on lifeforms
Small planets and satellites
Your solar system is my condiment
I vomit comets
And don't sweat the small things and nonsense
Every dog has his day and
Even more so in rhyming
So I decided that I'd never
Play the fire hydrant
Or grab the mic sounding lazy
Worn down and tired
Cats don't really fall off
They just get uninspired
But before you, get a reason to ever diss us
I'll drop an ill LP and
Disappear like Bobby Fischer but this is
The building block of all that is
And what it is, is Alchemy

Alchemy, basic with a touch of wild wonder
Alchemy, we made this to
Take your style under
Metal frame, walking through a metal
Game with a limp, tight grip
Determined not to let time slip
This is Alchemy
Iron b-boy and all it's glory
Alchemy, hold it from the colder sob story
Metal frame
Walking through a metal game with
A limp tight grip
Determined not to let time slip

(Ah) Dirty (dirty) destiny
Burden murders with a burnt
Version of peasantry
Nervous clerks flirtin' with
Hurly burly chemistry
Graffiti burner urchin merging with
A certain herd
To jerk and serve your centerpiece
My zig-zag bully balance gallops
With a fiery outline
Bound and bomb y'all pastel poets belly up
(I'll tell you what)
Born style in 4 dimensions count 'em:
Three to take 'em to ya muck
One to build a world you'll never
Touch and I'm a pilot
Delirium, serum, poison arrangement
Come browse through an idyllic storm
And suck the raw enslavement
With a grim-style stinger creeping
Out the basement
Encased in wild ritualistic visions
Of sacrificial bitch cadence
For all my iron giant soldiers with a
Metal fist up shielding mother nature
From a fatal wrist cut, story, I respect you
(So why they blaming you for the cats
That sleep while the earth turns?)
Yeah I had em' up all night
Praying I'd re-release Music For Earthworms
Breathe even or lean squeamish
Grip milestone like ring ring ring I just
Called to scream phoenix click dial tone
Welcome to a cloud 12
Brutal hallucination war pillar
Carnivore, carnival, karma slasher
I dash like a jackrabbit that orbit's
Revelation with a single pounce
To Edward Scissorhands your string of
Doubts and turn it out
This is that Mighty Casey homefield
Advantage to bend your blizzard
With a crocodile smile and five
Robot knuckles to your kisser this is

Alchemy, basic with a touch of wild wonder
Alchemy, we made this to
Take your style under
Metal frame, walking through a metal
Game with a limp, tight grip
Determined not to let time slip
This is Alchemy
Iron b-boy and all it's glory
Alchemy, hold it from the colder sob story
Metal frame
Walking through a metal game with
A limp tight grip
Determined not to let time slip
