LYRICS:
The rope goes over the wall, for the controller born to hold a stethoscope to a vault, wooly willy, peel off in a barrel over the falls, and down river by the time they radio for the dogs, I crossed-heart, can’t tell a bad day from a death wish, detour through the graveyard with a chef’s kiss, they don’t make a pill for that, it’s too advanced, all you can do is lick your wounds, and whistle past the boogie mans, wicked forces in the wings descending on the simple things, like taffy at the boardwalk under ribbons of flamingo pink, which mutates into overcrowded plinko on a laser grid, havens turn dangerous, friendly faces, traitorous, ey, I’m never late, I’m never early, ever right when I’m meant to, to counteract the evil that men do, I’m a motherfucking gem in the refuse, even when the world’s ending, what the F is your excuse? Don’t get brave around the cave mouth, get chased, ain’t no lollipop on the way out, I’m way out, the way of the walk is a different discipline, it’s difficult, 10,000 hours get you to guinea pig, dirtbag daddy snatch a lackey off a chessboard, hack up any edge lord, plastic wrap death’s door, 10-4, half-wit, I ain’t your good buddy, I can however be bought with a blue slushie good god damn, good god damn, every idol I every met is a con man, good god, good god, good god damn, gotta hopscotch hot pan to hot pan good god good god good god I grew up over 7 plies of maple wood that chew up new terrain, you laughing because I’m different, I’m laughing cuz you the same, I been discovering a distant corner of the human brain, whose function is to see you rue the day that you rebuke the name, don’t do it, social cues bouncing off his open wounds, folk are on some “oh hello”, I’m on some hokus pokus poof, holy moly, motion blur from bloke to Canis Lupus by the 5th frame of the photo booth, show that to your focus group, you can not domesticate the modern vigilante, who increasingly identifies as energy expanding, my pat on the back is a little Edward Scissorshands-y, come and send it with the cleverest to never stick the landing, Tombraider, screw-face under the gauze, y’all should giddy up or get your city covered in salt, yea, I am dumb enough to run through a wall, build another one and run through it too, what is he on, electric green smoothies and bean water from Vietnam, orchids in the air and over 40 years of beat the clock, we will not be keeping calm, we will turn barbarians to Carrie at the senior prom, Meet us in the creeping fog, I know you weebles wobble, but never completely topple, even more reason for me to see you obscenely remodeled, Let’s get your body walloped into Braque or P. Picasso, you ain’t the person you let your believers think they follow good god damn, good god damn, every idol I every met is a con man, good god, good god, good god damn, gotta hopscotch hot pan to hot pan good god good god good god

[slipknotmaggot]

"Ay, yo, Rob; I need you to come shout "god damn" into a mic for like twelve seconds"

[Warp]

This geezer hasn’t let me down in nearly 20 years.

[TwiztidMenace]

"You cannot domesticate the modern vigilante who increasingly identifies as energy expanding"
Aes isn't a person, he's a resonant frequency disguised as a wordsmith

[bad]

Closest we’ve seen Aes in the physical in a while and even then it’s still a silhouette.

[astrozuni]

"I'm never late, I'm never early ever, right when I'm meant to" Aesop is Gandalf confirmed

[aliciap]

This is what lupe fiasco was talking about when he talked about aesop. This video recaps how to some everything that aesop puts out is just random exotic words (which is how the Jackson pollock paintings looked to people just random shit ) but when you look closely it’s all a masterpiece just like how if you pay attention to what he says it’s all very impressive writing. This video is perfect

[jamiebrown]

Is it me or does Aes keep getting better and better. It's fuckin amazing and mind blowing at the same time! Album is freaking unbelievable. Abandoned Malls is the best track, but really hard to say

[arachnid]

Aes is the GOAT. No one can touch him.

[eythemischief]

"you laughing 'cause I'm different, I'm laughing 'cause you the same"

[airvent]

"Can be bought with a blue slushie" is a mood.

[bollacaj]

"Havens turned dangerous, friendly faces traitorous"

Obviously this line could have a lot of different interpretations, but dear god this is a great summation of the average person's outlook during the pandemic

[whitesky]

We need a video for That Is Not A Wizard hardest tune on the album !!!

[PestTheMenace]

"Every idol I've ever met is a con man" 🔥🔥

[simonvanderwerf]

I am loving this new record
can't stop playing it on repeat
The mindfulness of every lyric
the heart of every beat

[Regore]

nevermind all the names that come up when talking about the goat and who the best. Aesop is so good he is literally off the charts, off the radar

[reefchiefer]

Good God. Give this man his God damn flowers already. Good god

[oidiedinatimemachineo]

this shit is sick af. I fucking LOVE the way Aes is flowing on this entire album.. that kinda slowed down flow hes doing is dope af. Like on this track and difficult for instance.

[sickdg]

This album is fucking dope. My vinyl is on the way. Aesop is getting better and better.

[Aliseven]

One of the best album of 2021 so far. Aesop is killing beats . Nice collaboration as always with Blockhead.

[thelandofyellow]

This album is unbelievable. There's always a few lines in every album that make me stop, think, and then want to weep. Partially because he hits close to home, or says something profound. And partially because I'm a softie who has a lot of feelings lol. Aes is my all time favorite rapper
