Aesop Rock, Vordul Mega, Vast Aire - N.Y. Electric lyrics

New York i could probably put some shit
Over the "New York" shit staten Isle
The Up-state, Tri-state, Universal
(Just for my people)
All day, NY, New York, yeah, From
NY, Long Isle, Bronx, Brooklyn, up-town
Yeah, we're where it’s at get down
In NY, we're where it’s at in NY get down

I cut the ropes breathe
Fresh puddles of pigeon blood
And smoke load bazooka
Scoped the culprit hulks over a broken hookah
Got rebel camps with siphons amped
To cookie-cut the wattage
Electric ilk NY raised on
B-movie sluts and gossip
Conditioned the bodega rodent
Moment composure to echo numb and uncommon
Dumb monkey pollen my 23's lean over a
Cobra motor milligram bender, novelty


I tip lids prior to clipping the comradery
Check the muck out
When metal maggots burrow in
Promised Land vein division
I tug my brim down over my astigmatism
Low pro paxil Rose, Axl broke and butchered
Last catapult standing in a land
Of coke and hookers king Kong potluck
No parking for rickshaw loads of
Sock puppets and sitcoms
Just Krylon pigs bred in a hot boxed wigwam
Serotonin deficient teens demonstrate ease in
The modern day Uzi purchase
The foundation of their alacrity
Makes the mothers nervous
Me? Oh I check the newest murals to see
Whose still bombing this fucker
And um respect"
Find out what it means to me, New York
Walk blocks with electric ninjas who bark
Bounce for trunked out whips
Like, "My company DeLorean's the shit"
Skipper's out of happy pills again
He's in the neighbors garbage (Ahh Skippy)
He's making paper dolls
Decorated with targets (Don't do it)
He's labeling the dolls with the
Names of shitty rap artists (Nooo)
Then tearing out the still-beating heart
From the loose leaf carcass
I ordered a hovercraft off the back
Page of an Archie comic
Built it in three days to
Float above snarky comments
My gills call the East River rock bottom
Home with three-eyed guppies
And seahorse mutations
See, New York is ancient Rome
Basic basically stone faces
My friend jumped off the
Empire State Building while
I hung with 10th grade head cases
"Some of them will blossom famous"
Some of them will blossom baseheads
But they all rep rivets in
The die-cast metal Voltron cadence, what?

N, Y, Electric, Catalog, Burners
Pigs, Magnums, Crack
Bag lady, Roach bait, Pristine kicks
Thread and the iris of the needle
Imma thread the needle
Imma thread the needle
Imma thread the needle
Imma thread the needle here we go
Dah dah dah, dah dah dah
Dah dah dah, dah dah dah
Breaker 1-9, 9-11-01 witness
Maybe you don't get this

Kill 'em all slow
I was on a serious tree bender with my
Hands up at a C-Rayz Walz show
Nether-circuit bacon don't police me anymore
Your trained professionals demonstrate 41
Shots over par
Least common denominator raise
Truth like Charlie
Willy and Gramps raise roofs
In a glass Wonkavator (Monster Maker)
Operate wild by the company of
Unturned stones and litter
Talk his way out of a sunburn and
Be home in time for dinner
Paid dues since before the days
Of bad acid and Quaaludes
While the boombox talks trash to the Richter
Stalking awkward with a zip lock
On the pill hole
Bitter fucker, nothing is free
I'll spend my last dollar on me
Put one up for my family
Should've made time to thank 'em
Put one up for my crew
For recognizing the sanctum
Put one up for the socially broke, choked and
Smoky New York piss hiss bleed Dolby, homey

N, Y, Electric, Catalog, Burners
Pigs, Magnums, Crack
Bag lady, Roach bait, Pristine kicks
Thread and the iris of the needle
Imma thread the needle
Imma thread the needle
Imma thread the needle
Imma thread the needle here we go
Dah dah dah, dah dah dah
Dah dah dah, dah dah dah

"You’ve been all over the world
You’ve hunted just about every kind of game
You’ve stalked elephant, lions
Tigers, polar bears, deer
You’ve been within 15
20 yards the most dangerous game in the world
You’ve been everywhere
You’ve been with some of the most famous
Guides and hunters in the world
What’s the biggest thrill you’ve ever had
Out of all of that?"

"Well I think I can answer that best
By calling attention to the "
