Burn train buffers
My fancy
Up jumps the boogie delivering eye jammies
Walk through the muck with a clutch on a trident
Never give a fuck how far Pi went
You are dealing with a reborn icicle age poltergeist

Uprock, sidewalk cycles stuck at the bus stop
Wookie foot must not sleep
Under the invaders
No batteries
No jumper cables

Wired under-agers play box cutter face-lift
Rock utter makeshift spirit
To y'all I'm just a funny moniker with a couple of fresh records
And a bangin' hand style to put the jukies On the guest list

Walk for that
Metal train graf brainiac
Walk for them
Not a limelight
More to blush alizarin crimson
When the multi million
Tin men suck traditional rituals
Out the homes of starving children
And I bet they can see the city bleeding from the satellites
Formed by the corporate war drums recorded poorly
Dirty dub vamp
Bruised by the hues of wicked pallets
Chewed by the tooth of livid maggots
Dino DNA and cola, straight no chaser
Mars attacks colorfulness
I piss raptors on motherships

Hazy days will stay purple
Cause Cips with a Z bargain
Like Crazy Eddie commercials

Go Ah AH AHH AHHH
Network with a dirt devil
Burn train buffers
Hi!
Cute the way your little parasol spins
Bye!
Suck my Neanderthal dick
Catapults spit
Losing the screws and bolts
And all they heard's crews gulp in bulk and sulk in volts
Zap!
Radio m-m-m-m-mayhem, fine
Suicidal eye full of plastic nine
Bang!

No batteries, no jumper cables
No batteries, no jumper cables

Come on

Catapult
Jump motherfuckers
No batteries

They only came to buff the name stuck to the train
That's a textbook page
For my seed up in flames

Curators cater to killers of innovators
I'm a staple
No batteries, no jumper cables

Choke train buffers like a headlocked Ed Koch
Nurture the craft of concrete visionaries
Cave painters screaming "Loosen the cuffs!"
Cave paintings get the natural history feather dust
Pick a lust

Limo tint stretch DeLorean chrome sittin' on twenties
Then I walk to the stouge, burning my laundry
Lo Pro
Fucked up jeans back at the party spinning Kane meets Flight of the Valkryies in a heartbeat
Saber tooth, catalog, city art, liturgy
Ranger Ricks endanger the clique maximum efficiency
And isn't that dope?
The line of blind winged Pygars and how they wallow planks into the Mathmos
Binder bibles and a graphite prison violator
With Joshua for the war gamer systems

Now the architects are rioting cause we built something different
I'm like how the fuck sure shot evolution not my business?

My elephant television was on
Grape soda, Grape ape, Great space coaster
DnD, GI Joe, Transformer, Herculiod, ThunderCat, Voltron, Speed Racer, Space Ghoster
Kiss the flickering images with Carroll Ann fingertips
C-4 to four chamber skips
Ohh shit...
They say his eyes were spiraling back when he hit the mat
Woke first words: "Oh it's like that?"
Started bendin' spoons and rippin' arrows outa lady hawks
With a C3P unit tryin' to interpret the baby talk

Burn train buffers
Right turn woulda missed the iceberg, fine
But you don't like our kind. Do you?
Junkyard Dog. Hot tin roofs cradle kittens with them sub par flaws
Rappin' is my radio, graffiti is my TV
B-boys keep them windmills breezy

Don't get cooked by the pilot light
I can smell metal in the air tonight

Aesop Rock

Born Ian Matthias Bavitz, Aesop Rock was a pioneer in the new wave of underground hip-hop in New York City during the early 2000s. Regarding his name, he

I acquired the name Aesop from a movie I had acted in with some friends. It was my character’s name and it sort of stuck. The rock part came later just from throwing it in rhymes.

Aesop has a solid discography with 8 albums spanning over the course of 20+ years. He started in 1999 by selling his first album, Music for Earthworms, through his website while he was a student at Boston University. He has since gained a cult following and been named one of the best artists of the 2000s. His most successful albums are None Shall Pass, Skelethon, and The Impossible Kid which peaked on the Billboard 200 at #50, #21, and #30 respectively.
