lyrics

I’m done done du du done done

Book smart and awkward, a doctor of outsiderdom
Fuse rap and plot words, I’ve got yehs all rewinding them
Shoot Jackson Pollock like dot to dot with rhymes and quotes
Newsflash: I caught words and chopped them up to find their souls

Some digs we picked to put the thinker in
One drink and he’s uncouth and ignorant
Picture this – ma picture is in the dictionary ma description fits
Beside a definition list of what a contradiction is

It’s sink or swim, sinking in an ink ocean, a sea of quotes
Out ma depth tryin’ ae hold the right words to keep me a float
I’m here tae revolt in many many meanings muckers
Shock, disgust, overthrow, get me when yi need a purpose

Clueless critics call me retro man
Look at ma lyrics and make sense of that
These scribbling idiots thinking their vision’s the
Living legit definition of woke
Yir wavering wisdom is riddled wi syphilis
Silly, oblivious, missing the joke

Airborn getting blown away
Tune in tune out, carried on the airways

My name is… David Hook, pouring fermented grape juice on ma
Grapefruit ‘til I’m tripping like ma lace is loose
Listen, look. I thought I would be famous too
Turns oot when yir aim is to spray the truth nobody will play with you
Staying Odd and we’re back other muckers
Only ever stop if the track doesn’t love us
This is for Black Thought and others, Big L, Gift of Gab
This is Pharoahe Monch, for Physiks, fuck it I’ll spit some raps
I am exhibiting infinite symbols and rhythm to subvert the system with
Work, school or prison I make it ma mission to give ‘em it visually intricate
Effortless eloquence never irrelevant, thinking it’s limited? Here mate you missed a bit
First class affiliates, fun fact – I’m finishing
Middling villains that can’t figure out what the riddle is
I’m a stimulant. Let’s get militant. Write a syllabus
Tell me more how ma flow isn’t killing it
While I glow and then blow like a filament
Wait
Break. Stop. It’s space hop time
Airborn. Over yir head like an Aesop line

There's not a cloud in the sky today and I'm thinking
If I'm out ma depth it's more like floating than sinking
And even if there was a cloud while the sun in shining
I can spend the day looking for that silver lining
