Saul Williams - Elohim 1972 lyrics

Your rating:

in order to give birth to me
 my style is black hole
 most niggas simply sound like earth to me
 if hip hop were the moon i'd be the first to bleed
 cyclical sacraments of self for all my peers to read
 i recite the user night
 ??? the light for you to read by
 have you floating on cloud nine without you realizing it's my mind's sky
 and the ground on which you walk is the tounge with which i walk
 i speak the seas, i root the trees of suburbia and new york
 city streets can never claim me, that's why i never sound like you
 all y'all niggas claim the streets as if paths through the woods aint true
 you better walk the path, you better do the math
 cuz your screw face will only make the buddah laugh
 even if you know the lessons you don't know the half
 but don't take it from me
 son, take a bath

 i can recite the grass on the hill and memorize the moon
 i know the cloud forms of love by heart
 and have brought tears to the eye of the storm
 and my memory banks walk ??? forests and amazon river banks
 and i scream them into sunsets that echo in earthquakes
 shadows have been my spotlight as i monolouge the night
 and dialouge with days
 soliloquys of wind and breeze
 applauded by sunrays

 we put language in zoos to observe caged thought
 and toss peanuts and p-funk at intellect
 and motherfuckers think these are metaphors
 i speak what i see
 all words and worlds are metaphors of ME
 my life was authored by the moon
 footprints written in soil
 the foutain pen of marshen men
 novelling human toil
 and yes, the soil speaks highly of me
 but earth seeds root me poetry
 and read forests forever through resscitation
 now
 maybe i'm too serious
 too little here to matter
 though i'm riddled with the reason of the sun
 i stand up comets with the audience of lungs
 this body of laughter is it with me or at me?
 hue more or less
 human though gender's mute
 and the punchline has it's lifeline at it's root
 i'm a star this life of suburbs i commute
 make daily runs between the sun and earthly loot
 and raise my children to the height of life and truth
