lyrics

Thom Nook:

Vapid affirmations of a third-rate poet;
Sculpted and molded for noble purposes.

These persons, rightfully persecuted by merchants of trade,
tirading mascots for symbiotic ascot-wearing escapades.

Spelunking through debunked mysteries, a crime mystic.
Mystical quadratic equestrians leading the charge.

Through thick and thin, commiscerated through an awful din;
These men will surely win—
A coup d’etat they find themselves admist.

Les Mis, Les Mis they sing the songs of a peasant,
Waiting in toe for the undertakers, illuminating phosphorescent hells.

Abstract as a Rorschach swirling in a cold glass of Ovaltine, or thats the goal, I mean. (I mean….I mean… I mean…)

The Rhetorician:

100 ways to beat the drum,
I be flexing up my arms.

Looking like ’01 Kobe, swear I can do this on my own.
Poppin, dancing to Drake in my underwear;
Girl you might be able to catch me outside.

I said, the Po-Po flying drones, they beefing up the defense at home.
Yeah, I understand the fight.

Mind control be The Division type;
My DNA don’t like them niggas who be on that Thomas Jeff foresight.

Come together, come together!
Left side, right side;
Julius and Jerry putting energy back-and-forth, we got some things to say—
Strange fruit got my people spending on the holidays.

While we buyin’ J’s, we need to be buying stock.
Living for the moment that Popeyes be smackin though;
I’m fasting, and eating canned mackerel.

(Uh) Hanes socks and Chucks at the fashion show.

Longevity said serve the people, and you might be the last to go. (Uh, I said…)
Longevity said serve the people and you might be the last to go. (Uh)
