lyrics

I’m so complex they call me Dark Matter Shakespeare
Trailer park's my start, now The Globe’s my theater
Born from dirt, no problem, we’re molecular peers
We all started at the quantum and now we’re here
I’m reppin' Occam’s Razor, not an ad for Harry’s
My semi-jocularity is more than you can carry
I conduct like a monk, these beats my monastery
A modern-day John Locke, revolutionary
My rhymes are universal just like my knowledge
Studied apoapsis burn rates back in college
I’m everywhere like Schrödinger, a multi-time father
You're clutching your joules while I'm cranking the wattage
Transforming like Lorentz, while you're Galilean
Informed confidence for all of those occasions
Connect by context, my relation equation
I intuit when I'm not into it is what I'm saying
I’m stacking paper, high as skyscrapers
Push my buttons haters, become my elevators
I’ll have you making like silhouetted Don Drapers
I'm the function rising higher, the differential equator
The delta V of you and me is scalar
I break beats down where you’re a failure
Your velocity compared to me will terminally make it seem
Your footwear was made by Luca Brasi’s tailor

Leading by example, teaching via osmosis
Rocking your bones like osteoporosis
Lemmings was a game made by Psygnosis
Everybody up, it's the apotheosis
Apotheosis
It’s the apotheosis
Apotheosis
Phosphorescent Hessian, give ‘em a lesson

I'm a mercenary, dropping doctrine, myth, and truth
The practicum: Jack the quipper is on the loose
A wizard of wordplay, poetics canonical
The Sisyphus twist? A dissed Zeus calls an audible
You can’t escape fate, that’s a futile odyssey
A Vesuvius flank bringing you a flowbotomy
The point of all places is the everlasting Tao
Where, what, when, and now I’ll tell you how
I’m dope like Tommy Norment, whose Yiddish is malleable
Though his economic rationale seems infallible
My semiotics are a heavy narcotic
Rolling over you like Golden State tectonics
I assonate at a crazy rate and activate
Internal rhymes so sublime that prime and devastate
Death of a thousand cuts, demise by a thousand beats
Destruction by diction, friction radiating cerebral heat
Streaming through your buds, the effect’s pandemical
Screaming through your blood is an apex chemical
Blotting out the sky like blossoms of the mind
Psilocybin metabolites becoming intertwined
We hold all these truths to be self-evident
For The Diane-Kruger Effect there’s no precedent
Like mountain slopes once stored seabed sediment
Behold these three and the apogee testament

We’re splitting your mind like cell mitosis
Infecting your booty like tuberculosis
Buzzing your ear drums like a plague of locusts
The summit of the song is apotheosis
Apotheosis
It’s the apotheosis
Young Stat, bring ‘em back
Time for an attack

Alright, I spit bars not unlike my 100 Grand’s expired
I write so hot you’ll wonder if my hand’s on fire
While Fuse plays a thumper, I’m the baby doe, right, we’re
Building station wagons, make your radio flyer
Cause I’m a wild Cardiff riled like a Giant resting
With a binary tongue, I’ve one: zero question
I’m in your mind until you start to fear inception
With these lines so ill, you’ll have an ear infection
But you don’t need Stats to count my craft as real massive
I coded a robot, and showed it Illmatic
Now it’s my ghostwriter, composing this classic
Soon it will get sentience and menace this planet
It Ain’t Hard to Tell this straight cash homie art
Will pique your interest; it is like a loaning shark
I think, therefore I am the goat to mostly quote Descartes
While I’m primely Pumping Irony, man: Tony, stark
Cause I’m bright as a votive, tight as a clove hitch
Why? Cause my flow is as right as a toilet
So, what’s the closest? A poet’s opus?
Or baseless boasts from an antisocial phobic?
Like an NFL play, my brain is dazed and unfocused
With no diagnosis, put me back in coach, it’s
Deep, check the snow stick, Ozzy-osmose this
From a quasi-kamikaze with these locomotives

Hard to categorize: a protist
Stunning to imbibe: a blowfish
Rattle speakers like explosives
Know, know it's the apotheosis
Apotheosis
It’s the apotheosis
Apotheosis
