lyrics

Verse1
Today inquisitively/ my boss said you just rap?/ I said I do just that/ the disappointment settled in and then it brewed this rap/ he's jaded by feeble prose out these loose knit acts/ thats leaving the people cold to the truth of the fact/ of the matter is jazz/ infuses my atoms and musics what I'm after/ one part sleuth two parts of me's a tracker/ eager to find the best and the baddest and be the badder/ as long as I stick to that program I'll never be a slacker/ jot a chapter of raps and build some props for my acts/ daily on my grind because I'm after the brass ring, watch and, the cup/ flax-seed oil plus the B vitamins are jacking me up/ a fortified mind is happy to crush/ poising my mental faculties to handle all the majesty passing before my very eyes scary times and tragedies/ its all been spoke been read been wrote/

Chorus
2xIdeas are but a flicker in the alligators moat/ an emotion to be devoured and freeing for a moment/ or maybe holding a flower cause I'm steady doaning roses/ freeing you from the plagues here's a pocket full of posies

Verse2
Constantly coming after me/ speaking upon it tactfully/ funneling out my stress/ applying the art of language / in ways that are mind blowing/ I'm showing a sky soaking with birds that are flying carrying words of the wise/ man its a hell of a time trying to find people that'll listen/ without the disposition drawn from Scottish vodka sippin'/ rappin walking contradictions/ every time I hit the mic/ I blitz my inhibitions/ so I can give it like its never been givin'/ overambitious on my missions/ hopeless a co-dependant on this music that amuses delivering lucid visions/ to a human in the midst of illusions on whose the shit/ keep doing it like every word is my last/ bullet in rhythmic gattling of making it happen raps/ its all been spoke been read been wrote/

Chorus
2xIdeas are but a flicker in the alligators moat/ an emotion to be devoured and freeing for a moment/ or maybe holding a flower cause I'm steady doning roses/ freeing you from the plagues here's a pocket full of posies
