[Sample from "Snatch"] "Do you know what 'nemesis' means? A righteous infliction of retribution Manifested by an appropriate agent.... Personified in this case by me" [Aesop Rock] We're all in the same gang, bread and butter Just a couple subdivisions who naturally hate each other Influence is shark biting the fuck outta your brother Friendship is Professor Plum ratting on Colonel Mustard You are now witnessing the world's most crass version Of a barnstormer, reveal time with a jagged edge Arm mortars and field mines for a bastard pledge On the style diamond cutter Swung before that magnificent havok sketch You fidget like a nervous culprit gulpin' Sweat a bullet, dead a bullshit sequence reactor Speaking disaster Who leaps off the canvas to provoke a side winder Snake in the grass with a dirty belly and his work to sell me I got my word to tell you I got absurd magic But it works like pistons pumping through the realm my family habits (Without a Rabbit Hat combination) Nah, more like I'm spitting pixy dust Till the mix taper community combusts [Yeshua Da Poed] I hold words for ransom Demand some attention paid Not to mention praise for their release on a page It might evade the light of day I never said I gave them all the fight to be brave Or insight to behave More like them others Whose ads have been paid for by some brothers While some of us lie in the eyes of others I discovered another way to stay undercover Kill everyone involved Unsolved mystery this to me is how to leave matters resolved Out of this all, you should take a break, ask the fake Get snatched out your habitat and left on the side of a lake I try to debate Whether a clean getaway is harder to make Than a call to the cleaners Dropped off a seamless bag Zipped up with enough cash to pay the cat With the awkward demeanor [Vast Aire] God is a name I call myself I don't like Ugly, Original, Synthetic I breathe rusty air logic It becomes the lung, the mind is a closet That is if it's a walk-in, cuz I'm open You fell from the cliffs of weakness, I scoped it I'll ball your rhyme up and stuff it inside my mouth As if this was the first grade (C'mon man) And you'll just stand there Your eyes'll water up And your teeth'll grind cuz you rhyme first grade See in this life timetime I'm a caged poet But I think life is more than a jail sentence That's why I took my time Doing calisthenics which euphemisms to hand out a life sentence When I rhyme I put my ass crack in it (in it) And you in a glass bottom boat with a crack in it (in it) So fuck your attitude My poetry's position is the sole definition of latitude Sinister. (repeated) "You tell the angels in heaven you've never seen An evil so singularly personified as you being hit In the face by the man who killed you"
