Aesop Rock - Bracket Basher lyrics

Hey, yo, must not sleep
I bash the bracket open and breach
The priority's bleached since that
'76 umbilical severed
Majorities cordially abhor the
Pinnacle vendors
I got West Nile virus on my TV in the Bronx
I got two hollow pockets and
A sleepy hollow mosh pit
Tryin to blow the spot with
Wet matches and bottle rockets
While cop walkie talkies squawk
Outside my apartment obnoxious
Tonight's special consists of stale
Fiber from shitty diner
Look mom! I learned to tie my shoes!
(Hey, can I borrow twenty bucks?)
Peel back the prickly cocoon to
Poloroid turbulent land unit birth
Student first pedagogue only
From brazen action
Wind blown mariner east river shark parry
Lunge carry funk endzone caliber
Watch war face painted jukies
Dance blissfully around
A bonfire and sacrifice live sanity
Pay a nickel for nose-bleed seats
In a peanut gallery gallop with a pegasus
Malice with no benefit's
Balance with some sense of bliss
And the foulest degenerates
My New Year's revolution's gon' be
To stop burning bridges
I'm just 'gon bend 'em toward the
Couple cats that's worth the visit's
And um, it's like that, and
That's the way Aes thinks, and um
Plans are like clipper ships
If they got holes they sink
And if the skipper slips the
Crew shit's bricks, wither
And hit the brink
That's why I take the poison's bitter sips
And smile big when I drink
You never knew mayhem walked with Nikes
Talked
Like a trucker, hawked the filibuster
Gerber baby lucid Colonel Mustards
No time to hold my breath
(Nope) , I'm only here to
Rap, eat, sleep, grow old, and smoke
Stoges through the hole in my neck
New millenium, mad cows and
Pentium, process the hostage
Lock him in the petting bin
Show him pictures of his wife and kids
Then wash the brain
Probably the same motherfuckers that
Buffed the trains

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
Must not sleep must bash the bracket
Pay the rent, pay the debt
Must slash the fabric catch the jackrabbit
Pay the rent, pay the debt sleep

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
Must not sleep must bash the bracket
Pay the rent, pay the debt
Must slash the fabric catch the jackrabbit
Pay the rent, pay the debt sleep

Roll into the city with one
Half of the cannibals (whose that?)
New joint bumpin out the whip speakers
Made the escape for a night of making tapes
Now it's back to the
Cockroaches and preachers
Somewhere a prom queen's giving birth
In a bathroom stall
Hauling a prime directive not to get
Blood on her mother's ballgown
I'm son of a stubborn old one track jackal
Brisk, truckin' with prime directive
Just to get the goods and never fall down
(Raw bomber) ate the city, spit the bricks
Ate the boxcar, spit the burners
Ate the planet, spit the murder
Funny farm brain patient writing
Rap for milk money, built ugly
With a couple side effects to make'em love me
My cipher demeanor left Jesus
Rubbin genie bottles
Til the following morning Colombo found a
Crown of thorns in urine puddles
You're in trouble!
I'm not trying to save the world
I'd rather watch it die slow
So I could spit my grand Itold you-so
Are we having fun yet?
Yup, step to the carnies
Try to win a teddy bear
To impress your favorite Barbie
She almost sucked you off at
The company Christmas party
But she won't accept the bear 'til
Aesop signs it with a sharpie
My ex-girl bounced without payin'
The cable bill
I checked myself in television rehab
Withdrawal symptoms may include
Shivering, fevers
Drooling and chronic masturbation
Now I pray to the gods
Of pornography and Playstation (No)
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake
Give my ASR to El and
Bury me with my mistakes

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
Must not sleep must bash the bracket
Pay the rent, pay the debt
Must slash the fabric catch the jackrabbit
Pay the rent, pay the debt sleep

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
Must not sleep must bash the bracket
Pay the rent, pay the debt
Must slash the fabric catch the jackrabbit
Pay the rent, pay the debt sleep

Bonus round this is the hot tin roof stepper
Hold it down with centipede foundation
Mr greed who burns rugged
Obstruction in bunches
Like little Jackie paper puffs the
Magic dragon in dutches
We don't need another hero homie
Gallop off on your my little one trick pony
Holly hobby Polly Pocket
Pretty fuscia destiny
If the slipper fit's fire
Up Cinderella propeller
And curtsy for the munchkins right before
Aesop Rock smashed the pumpkin yeah, yeah
Iron on gusto rustolium
Bloodstream what's better?
When the wrist slit it leaks out
Only the bloodiest bubble letters
Complete with outlines, fill-ins, dates
Shading and shout out columns
For vagrant colonies to follow
When redeeming bottles
You're a little tea pot trying to
Eavesdrop on the mammoth route
Peaking out from the rosebush like (Uh, huh)
"Here is my handle
(Ohh) , here is my spout" (Ahh)
Godzilla jukie used to be in love
Now out for gigapussy
Sorry to offend but sometimes life
Bends in the middle (Sorry)
So now you have a fulcrum where
There used to be a pillar (Right)
And now I got a pulse that
Bumps less than a cocaine binger
And now I got no nine to
Five and still labor days flicker
(This kid is ill) and now I got a
Nine millimeter Q-tip with an
Itchy trigger finger
See, I really don't feel
Your persona distortion
Ordered by martyrs who martyr
Self for martyr's sake
Wow fame if notoriety grew adjacent
To jealous dick-riding sentiments
I'd give you a pound like
"Greetings Mr president"
