GREENS

Lyrics

Open the fucking pit, yeah
 R.A.P. presidin', word
 A so called negro stood there, spitting
 Ten thousand lines of poetry
 In conclusion, if I'm younger, you still not as old as me
 This ain't my first time, this ain't my first time
 Brown seed, brown pores, like molasses bread
 Slow breathin' through the scary shit
 Neophyte gambler, blue light dancer
 Aquarius, walkin' with my angels
 No need to measure the obtuse angle
 Clanger of loose bangles
 Measurin' stars with the space between my fingers
 Truth is power, speakin' only to the little flower stalk lingers
 A warrior don't need to test their meddle, stay blessed
 And then he kissed every petal
 Empty make a better vessel, ya know what I mean?
 And our color shall be green, as we tend to grow
 Tend to matters of hope, tend to be tender
 Gardener of letters, king hat pretender
 Benevolence lender, no interest rate
 Ruby yacht ain't met a crest we couldn't break
 Needless to say, the cipher's secure
 However, your processor need a reboot to update
 ([?] which, the boys in blue investigate)
 What's poppin', uh, cipher rotten
 Newport smoked down to the cotton
 It's simple mathematics, refracted madness
 Wrote the rhyme with fridge magnets
 Daydreamin' the whole lunch
 Under an (Anita Low?) bowl cut
 Eddie Jefferson singin', "so what?"
 This is music for quitters and dropouts
 This is music for the flophouse
 "Gimme my props now", I say clanging my briefcase
 Can you believe the nerve of these cheapskates?
 Hogging sunlight and the technology behind photosynthesis
 Let's measure rhythms in distances
 The speed goes twenty-nine million miles before movin'
 I think I'm improving, but who can say?
 Since no point is fixed, more or less
 I think my point is missed
 I've decided to embrace what
 Differentiates me from the anointed clique
 Ruby yacht land ownership
 Let's build a monument, and stand over it
 Hand in hand, off-sides, odd pride
 Like watching your kid's first tantrum
 A relevant dataset
 Lost alpha, now pay the bet
 Beta, hepcat see ya later
 Walk up in the building like I'm sposed to be here
 But anyway
 What did you have for lunch today? I had some daydreams myself, mmm
 Yes and after all that rough sledding, that heavy lifting
 A clear vista opened before me and a profound wave of understanding
 Washed over me. And, and you know, the blues, the blues will fade
 And the greens, the greens, they, they rush over you
 The lush beautiful green
 Filled everything from the periphery to the center
