Aesop Rock x Blockhead - Flamingo Pink (Official Audio)

SONG CREDITS:
Written & Performed by Aesop Rock
Produced by Blockhead

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

"I can how ever be bought with a blue slushie" lol same aes

[durere]

"You laughing cause I am different, I'm laughing 'cause you're the same"

So the universe just looped in on itself - there's a rapper in my country that always sounded to me like he straight up copied Aesop Rock, and he wrote that same exact bar 10 years ago.
What the actual fizzle?!

[tomd]

Aesop rock *is* like some expandimg energy. Constantly impinging on new space that I'm not sure even existed until he got there.

[Vekikev]

Great!
Love the melodies that come in over the beat!

[KilogramHours]

That's Rob Sonic on the chorus right?

[jesseyancey]

Wowww they get better and better. Like cereal and milk. Made my morning

[Sim-Self-Unmasked]

This track is another level. This really is a collaboration of the gods. Kudos

[joebaumgart]

Aesop and Blockhead go together like peanut butter and jelly.

[TheCamelMan]

ROB Also on Onry Osborne or Nigel's new album he's got a song that the feature credit goes to hail Mary mallon. But I couldn't find anything out about it.

[vinny]

Do I hear Rob Sonic in the good god damn hook or am I tripping?

[philtorrez]

Every track I love more than last. Still five more to go! Incredible work gentlemen.

[McArRuIzO]

Is that Bobby "from the block" Sonic I hear? I hope it's a foreshadowing of a new Hail Mary Mallon production.

[claudesylvanshine]

Love how much that piano sample rolls. Phantom of the Opera ish during the chorus.

[wild-radio]

🔥📻team plank under bridge.
I see you❤

[lucedtrip]

Seriously need to get ahold of ya'll ! ! Would be absolutely honored, This album and your work in general is so inspirational to me.

[fwengli]

that's what they just got: it's a flamingo PINK

[pulengthamaes]

U ain't the person u let ur believers think they follow .. ima certified garborlogist now

[bewbs]

Scrolled down the related videos to find more of this album, saw a Tom McDonald short captioned "I'm back, " it was comedically satisfying to hit not interested. It's cute how YouTube thinks Aes could be considered comparable to any other rapper ever, his lyricism should be its own genre by now.

[michaelmariano]

Beat sounds like a slowed down 4th chamber by Wu Tang

[elephantheart]

Is it just me, or is Aes making a lot of chess references lately? Klutz is the first one I can recall, but there've been at least three or four since.
