lyrics

everything in slow motion
I'm half paniced
at the thought of a commotion
half here for it
I miss it, too morbid
for my own good
I sing a grim chorus
a staccato note like a deep cut
I'm no thug
but they're tellin me I am one
but I been better than anyone in my place
by not breakin their faces for bank when I pray
got my hand in the plate
one foot in the grave
live fast die young as i race
aim for cover
I'm worse than i was as a youngin'
but i come out swingin'
black blocks onto something
thats the truth
though it seems uncommon
the comment is easy as lyin' I promise
got 16 bars they're all awesome
We're causing a problem
were offin your honors

im seeing things
like a grams in my tea
like a tracer or aesir seers
in my seat
still on my own no belief
in peace
that comes after just backin up me
till it breaks
the shakiest faith
in anything other than me
I've seen what they create
we're either gonna mask up
act in a rage
or im adding an asterisk next to your name
kinda sound like a narcisisist
I don't trust what i hear, 'cause its often a myth
like a flower that you shouldnt pick
or eat
but narcisus look like a treat
get it?
im thirty years in an indefinite sentence
in debt and gettin injured with interest
invariably they'll be tellin me that i get what i send in
why im pickin every pocket that aint paying attention
whoo
not a problem at all
cause i call bluffs
might throttle your squad if you step up
got a cause in my heart like a knife thrust
for burnin a precinct down and doin' donuts
or else aiming to start one of the two
truths putting anger to use
look
I been that
seen the true cost
and got no regrets to tattoo on

Selling Live Water
by sole

supported by 4 fans who also own “Desert”

This wonderful album hit me hard in 2003. Boards of Canada / Autechre were on the pure exploratory electronic side of music. Sole with seling live water came unexpectedly with a noisier and more electronic variant at that time, which was understood as hip hop. Very well aged, still valid and no favorite to choose. Solid! Thanks for the uplifting Rmxs! nikarabot
