The Palmer Squares - Painting Pictures lyrics

[Intro] Just listen to me I said listen to me! We are witnessing the emergence of a new arrangement for life. And our language is its host. Some words are infected. And it spreads out when the contaminated word is spoken. It enters us when we hear the word, we understand it. Understand? If it found its way into language, it could leap into reality itself, changing everything! [Verse 1: Terminal Knowledge] I live the American dream vicariously Through various media outlets I sit and stare at a screen Hysterically screaming and shouting When I speak feel red heat What I breathe is dragon's breath Yes I'm a deadbeat from head, feet, then back to head again Two halfwits make a square whole Living in peril Who that kid over there who chew that chicken from Harold's? And shoot catfish in a barrel A petty jerk finna shirk you of any pennies you're worth And I can't just let go Cause every verse is a manifesto Term and Acumental sure to grab their pencils and start erasing Versed in blasting, wrapped in trench coats With the marksman's aim to target their game The bottom line is profit But the market's oversaturated And these heartless corporate ba*tards stay h*mogenizing genres And it waters my eyes cause All I got in this life is music Now I'm likely gon' lose the sh** to some cogs lined up in unison So sing even if you don't know the words Even if you don't prefer me In the whip when you're going to work Or chilling at the crib smoke herb And sing until your lymph nodes hurt Don't hold the phone though The audience needs to start to scream Go Yoko Ono And nirvana means to blow your own dome Cough and wheeze when you spark the lah with the Palmer squad Saw Socrates at the Parthenon But I forgot to cop a cheap concert tee in the parking lot Gosh darnit Talk hard as a rock but maybe he lyin' Claim he a giant but like Dave seeing Goliath At heart was soft as a baby's behind is Laughing maniacally To combat the anxiety But you likely to lose every time so just tighten the noose and fly away [Bridge] How can you have the balls to go up in front of an army? If you get on the stage, and you are not prepared, get the f** out of my business, cause this is a war! [Verse 2: Acumental] Ayo I kick in any door with hinges forcefully and storm the entrance Cause my core convictions don't consist of none of your opinions The lords of war been in my corner at these tournaments And fortunately mortals can't perform under the poor conditions These scornful nitwits will take you out like a torn meniscus Two morbid kids with a vacant lot full of war ballistics I court your mistress through the orchard then I score them digits Hordes of horny b**hes swarm for pictures like the p**no business Absorb the liquids and I'm lifted We go deep like f** snorkeling Yo I'm a porpoise with a dorsal fin Snorting off the porcelain Ride the whitest horses man I'm born again High on my endorphins and a morphine drip I'm so informative So inform someone We been recording, I got more to give There's more to come Windows getting boarded up So pour me some imported rum Coral tinted corneas and pupils wide Hop into the hoopty I'm Dennis Hopper hoppin' through these hoops, no hula Hoot and holler loudly if you coppin' moolah Copper coins and dollars too We can rendezvous for hours Talkin' how we got the loot I got through school, I got through college How 'bout you? Conjure up all kinds of grooves On conga drums like Babalu Yeah Ac been dope since '92 Most rappers choke, forgot to chew I'm on the move and y'all stationary Call Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry Can't never catch me Heavens to betsy Ac got it locked like the legend of Nessie (monster) You couldn't see me with the sharpest optics Far above the stars and comets Soar like Tony Stark up in the Marvel comics I harness knowledge and argue topics with Harvard scholars A startled novice with jars of pot in his cargo pockets Quit harpin' on us We'll embark upon this chart and top it Snarky carpet bombers bark ebonics and alarming comments It's all mnemonics Carnal knowledge and a thirst for greatness I curve the grade and stay superlative So turn the page [Outro] I can actually see what he just said! That's painting pictures! I'm so informative So inform someone Painting pictures I'm so informative So inform someone You gotta have a flow! You gotta have an energy! Painting pictures You gotta paint pictures with your mouth Painting pictures You're not in my f**ing league! You're in the minors! You understand? Should we be talking about this?
