Cryptic One, Aesop Rock - Apocalypse Zone lyrics

Aes Rock, who the fuck is

Well
I was the crooked spoke before 3rd wheel
But I doom fucked divinity the first time
Now I'm cursed allergic to
The flashback imagery
Stuck the key in what I thought
Would stitch the boons of man
And still the big fish ate the little fish
(yeah guess which one I am)
Well I took a stone from
The garden of "Pardon me, who are you?"
Carved it to sharpen then parked it
Inside a heart of sharkskin
Organized marksmen marched in amber waves
Of DDT brain marinations pleasant peasants
Pumping life into their legends
I been around the globe in 5 lackin a compass
One version of Christ when
A slicker process hostile
To the object botches, deadweight (it seems)
Fasted for 40 days straight (dream tight)
Because for 40 nights I been
Lickin the plate clean
Man I don't wanna be a shepherd
I think too many sheep in the flock
But someones gotta learn to herd em through
The gates and keep it locked
Buried the pride of riders lurks beneath
The rocks from whence they came
Buckle up for commencement of
The disbelief suspension game yeah all goals
Honor thy brother shoveling coal
And hovering others sputtering
To suffering souls
I know you know I know your plan is dwindling
Wiggin' with every breath and still you drag
Me through the center of this mess

Let the fluid seep into
This tremendous mind crevice
A trip to end this endless
Pseudo flowing rhyme fetish
Perhaps soon buffoons will
Rediscover the love
But for now sit and worship the
Grounds that we hover above
See the rhymes walk across hot
Coals in blissful silence
Under the weight the earth shakes
They all turn to diamonds
Swallow the Adam's Apple seed whole
Let it get embedded in your soul
Infested poetic epidemic control
I'm bombing your brain unconstrained
Andromeda Strain
The intention is spiral through sections
As rival infections upon closer inspection
The poetic bars are new and unique
You see the start of a
New sideshow carnival freak
Complete with circus tent the
Lead attempt to circumvent
The perfect verbiage meant to
Trench you cowards
(With a true sense of power)
Propel the speakers, yo, each memory's
Essentially centuries of imaginary imagery
Injected simply for sole control
Of humans souls
And symphonies belittle the little we own
Contorted distorted ridiculous clone
Robotic sonic monotony
Broke your monotone Atomic
Aesop Rock conglomerate
Hip hop apocalypse zone
Hip hop apocalypse zone
Hip hop apocalypse zone

What's the deal, Atoms Fam?
What's the deal, Can O?
What's the deal, Def Jux?
How you feel, Stronghold?
What's the deal Weightless?
What's up with hip hop? What's the deal,?
What's the deal, Head Bop?
What's the deal, James 23?
What's up, Sonic Sum?
What's the deal Aes Rock? Big
Peace from Cryptic One
What's the deal, Blockhead?
How you feel, big Pawl?
What's the deal, Hangar and Jest?
And yo, I'm out y'all
