Lyrics

Nigga, you betta drink half a gallon of Shaolin
 Before you pluck the strings of my violin
 My life is orchestrated, like London symphony
 Concentrated, niggas waited and waited
 I'm birthday whistles, belated
 Blow out the candles, I wait in the darkness like a vandal
 The silhouette of set in the mirror on the mantle
 Fire place is in the heart, water places the art
 'Round the island of desiring where most primitives stalk
 Sacrificing their daughters, these primordial waters
 Carry a feminine agenda that no man ever taught us
 True they captured and caught us, transported, sold us and bought us
 Constituted and lawed us, distorted truths that they taught us
 We rebelled, then fought us, we conformed, then they formed us
 Now y'all niggas rhyming 'bout material possessions
 My Adidas are three years old like my daughter, niggas
 Rhyme 'bout Alize and need to rhyme about water
 But out of chaos comes order
 Out of chaos comes order, out of chaos comes order
 Out of chaos comes order, out of chaos comes order
 Out of chaos comes order, out of chaos comes order
 Fake niggas run for the border
 La la la la, la la la la
 La la la la, la la la la
 In a past life I was a woodcarver's knife
 The sharpened blade of a woodcutter
 The eldest son of the chief's brother
 A maker of drums
 We scraped the insides of goat hides
 And seek the hollows where sound resides
 Offering the parts we did not use
 To invoke the muse
 Music of the ghettos, the cosmos
 The Negroes, the necros
 Overcomers of death, disciples of breath
 Dissection of drumbeats like Osirus by Seth
 Break beats into fourteen pieces
 Dissembled chaos, organized noise
 A patchwork of heartbeats to resurrect
 True b-boys, be men
 Let's mend the broken heart of Isis
 Age of Aquarius, mother nature is furious
 While you rhyme about being hardcore, be heartcore
 What is it that we do art for?
 Metaphor, metasin, it's an age of healing
 Why not rhyme about what you're feeling or not be felt
 Deal with the cards you're dealt
 Calling on tarot readers and sparrow feeders
 To cancel the Apocalypse
 Metaphorically speaking, metaphorically speaking
