Aesop Rock, Vast Aire - Attention Span lyrics

Every little step we take breaks the dreams
Of a war pig itching to re-stitch the seams

Namsayin, when I walk
I wanna break concrete!

Ox will spit some shit that'll
Reflect off the mirror
My light beams are mad bright
They stay clever yo, challenge an Ox member
Get a valve severed
Found your body in the desert
(Scavenger's dessert)
Yeah yeah I rap tight like Saran
Plus enter battles talkin shit
Like "Look mom, no hands"
I'm tired of cats tryin to sum me
You can't add that far yet
That counting is far fetched
I treat MC like K-9s
Throwin words at they face to see
If they bite when they catch
I told you my poetry sponsors Gillette
Now you standing there wit razors
In your head like barrettes
Man, if the mic had ass cheeks
The sticker in my hand
Would say priority seating
And man, I don't know if it was me or you
But your girl was on my
Dick like she was teethin'
You play the role
I'll play the poppy seed on top of you
The godspeed is actual
That doesn't mean I act usual
One of the first MC's to
Give the crowd full attention
Cuz you need love and affection

If we could absorb every star in the sky
We noticed some shine brighter than others
You wonder why
It's the simple things in life that
Turn the peasants into leaders
And we know the differences between
The walkers and the sleepers

I boogie with picketer vision
Carbon based stickler
City piss aroma, therapy coma, clone sitter
Itching to pigeonhole villain soul magnet
Feelers activate passion ate the germ
And the book met the worm
I hold a book of matches captive to flash if
The sunbeams flatline
Via thick fatigue episodes, brewed in batches
The flirt of cursed perks
Nursed broken skeleton patches
One muddy veteran collapsed the
Untapped resource center
Housing style pageants
My little limbs lasso katydid wings
While mankind's babysteps break
Dirt and demon
I know a crossbreed strung well in the key of
Mass times weight times tamed semantics
Encompassing that which split's lips but
Never supplied the bandage
To hell with plastic, we edit splendid
Tap it on the shoulder, grab it, tag it
Apprehend it lend it to the devil to
Befriend it, wrench it back, mend it again
It still never renders suspended
'bove finicky picket fences
Now every droid dreams to manufacture hearts
Start with cadaver parts and a blueprint
He followed the precedent set by
War pigs of a yesteryear let the tears braid
And skip a stone over the reservoir
To shake the whole charade
Gold-plated tomb or spittoon i couldn't see
I fell asleep holding an Appleseed
Woke up holding a tree
The only bridge I ever burned
Along this legacy I dance
Was the one that linked the
Cities of Prosperity and Chance
