life's tough, but i'm tougher than leather / when it sucks, i'm like "motherfuck it, whatever, i'm roughin' the weather" / hermetic science blew my mind apart, i stuck it together / the emerald tablet is a magic gem, i'm pluckin' the treasure / grip it with a forefinger and thumb, raise it up to my pineal like a monacle, an oracle sun / i sit and stare & bear witness to the satirical horrowshow / hard facts, a hard act to follow acting so horrible / or rather deplorable, consider they lack in morals / what to speak of evil ever even feeling sorrowful / all seeing eye in the sky, wherever we go / lead us all into temptation, and deliver from ego! / as above, so below, so you reap as you sow / while the sheep are asleep, bo peep's in the know / sold us cheap for the dough, keep us low / there's a demon with a green glow grinning on the screen, yo
beat us and treat us like hoes, they circulate in teams / so wake up and smell the vapors of percolator steam / you can't embrace a dream, always gonna chase them though / our backs scarred from cold hard facts, face em / i wax philosophical, funny bones ticklish / hot shit, melt the wax wings off of icarus / whackness never found within the grip of my fingertips / when flippin through the wax things i pick off of discuses / i like my voice in the mix with the thickness / show your heart what the very definition of viscous is / the flow of art is liquid, visionary discipline / sick of the system? let these scripts be the medicine / as above, so below, so you reap as you sow / while the sheep are asleep, bo peep's in the know / sold us cheap for the dough, keep us low / there's a demon with a green glow grinning on the screen, yo
2 buildings went down, each had 4 sides / now an 8-sided pyramid points at the sky / with an antennae long enough to pry & divide / an antennae probably strong enough to fry all our minds / the ark they purport to be lost and remembered / the artwork they sport in the airport in denver / the darkness must end, the light's long overdue / the next carcass toss onto the flames might be you
i'm high powered on a cellular level like mitochondria / gave the devil sniffles? hypochondria / it really takes a special type of zombie to / live without a care within world, i simply inhale & air it out like laundry / sometimes some people think too much, they self-educate / sometimes some people learn too much, then self-medicate / i was one such person, i had to elevate / couldn't let it stay, i knew there had to be a better way / in turn i terminated my self-hate the hermetic way / took the hell i made & boiled it down to encapsulate / master of my fate, futuristically old school / tried to take it back this one time & time lapsed pass the date / as above so below, so you reap as you sow / while the sheep are asleep, bo peep's in the know / sold us cheap for the dough, keep us low / there's a demon with a green glow grinning on the screen, yo
never been the type to end up stuck at a crossroads / at any fork i say fuck it, chuck it in 4 & off road / the spirit frees the mind confined within its prison / so i'm boiling down accumulated knowledge into wisdom / i look at art & book smarts as a means to try & hook hearts / a lot of dull blades out there that only look sharp / there was a time i asked for nothing, and got plenty / now i've set my sights on one single thing, out of so many / with a laser beam of focus, disseminate poetic plague of locusts / death stroke, now the joke is on the jokers / speak your mind, reach for the sublime, seek and ye shall find / still the muse never chooses weakened-spined meekest kind / as above, so below, so you reap as you sow / while the sheep are asleep, bo peep's in the know / sold us cheap for the dough, keep us low / there's a demon with a green glo grinning on the screen, yo.
