[Aesop Rock Talking] So you want to be a carpenter, do you? Well it takes more than a hammer, boy Youre gonna need blueprints and a will to build, and... Straighten your cap! you look like youve been through a war Wipe that grin off your mug, you got a sturdy frame? Sluggish posture just wont cut it Youre gonna need schooling, and, and, and take notes! And god if I catch you yawning again youre gonna regret ever asking for my help And dammit you gotta hustle, this is a slackerfree zone And, wheres my pencil? Go get your hardhat Heres a nickel, go get us a ruler and a saw and a drill and lots of graph paper... Yo.. I used to have a rope ladder but tattered were the rungs I strung it from the highest willow, trying to hug the sun The seventh level buckled and I tumbled from the summit Now Im back to reclimb and this time light my cigarette from it My stitch in divisiondivision warfares numb enough to soak suddenly in a bullet bath and skip stones in the morning Is a flying color phantom tantrum explicable? Sit and pull the petals off wild flower patches, magic happens! Behold, pity the lowlife parish? Doom City barracks left remorse coursed on a horsedrawn carriage by the torch of Polaris To the badlands, where every bridge collapse right where the crowd stands Where the witches are fireproof and every preachers a madman Frigid be the appleseed demeanor towards the bay where the landshark Parliament swims When they pause to polish they fins The better brains will preach the village through the city square To the light, heavy and middleweight integrate Slept with sticks and stones in my pillowcase Ooh my born flight simulator picks barnacles off the tugboat belly Left my spirit home in a shoebox in case I die Got a rugged smokegreen halo floatin inches off the swamp Had that phase when the deviltry contacts a sparkle in my eye Now step back from the reservoir and let the settlers drink Right! Salvage all priorities and iron out all kinks Okay! My house aint made of bricks and straw but never has it crumbled Why? Cause I stitched the brains rigidity with symmetry Come visit me, its fascinating [Aesop Rock Talking] Now heres how its done, Im only gonna show you once So pay close attention, hear me now or hear me never Glue your little eyes to the diagram See the plywood, the nails, the glue? You work every inch Your domain and you must treat it well Keep it clean or itll swallow you whole Wheres the Tsquare, hand me the pliers Now dammit, oh, this will never do! You have to want the castle, head Up, shoulders back Be the materials, know your limits only to break your limits Are you listening? God dammit boy, pay attention [Chorus] Try it again, little bit more juice this time Try it again, yeah, a little bit more elbow grease this time Try it again, concentrate, a little more focus this time You can kick and scream and yell but damn Im only tryin to help Try it again, youre not doing it right, here now, yall watch Try it again, stop sulking, Im the example, for real, Watch Try it again, Im bout to make it easy for you yall, just Watch You can kick and scream and yell but damn Im only tryin to help As if it didnt sting enough The hunt dispatched a pack of wild dog silhouettes All sulking by the skyline, focused with a bonus hunger pain My sincere addiction imbalance stems from a vintage grimace slap to the muck of Ancestral branch camped on the vessels Yes and I abide, the laws of the hidden desert survived And every peasant present teetered it on the crescent less deprived With the exception of pleasant finale binges on the great endangered interests Of phantom brigades slaving to save that princess I double the negative Double the negative, to no avail, no promised benefits Just delegates peddling pairs of negatives With magnified magnanimous appearance sandy sinners in opinion shut Now what of the madness fragments? Stagnant How to make a vision sing while twigs cling to your pigeon wings Fission militia, indent bent to split blood in hells kitchen sink Organize civility simpleton citizen mixers, then kiss the sky in unison Sinister cityblistered corporate hooligans All I really wants a nickel to feed my little pig Redefine big dig, three cheers to the product Consumer populace feed but never dreamed of the process On a slanted advantage point saw the makeshift criminals date rape the hostage Dream away the plain pain, yeah but it seeps through the cracks And drips from the ceiling and smells the rich scent of my tracks All I ever really wanted was a jungle, and a jungle I got See it aint the vision its the plot that makes me stop Try it again. I dont want to Repeat 8x Im not even interested anymore Try it one more time
try, dammit, sulking, negative, aesop
