The Mayor and the Crook

The Mayor and the Crook - Aesop Rock

No more pencils no more books

I built the city out one brick

It had a mayor and a crook

I made the crook stab the mayor

Then slay himself in the gills

I stole the brick back and migrated east now let's build

Every tenderfoot cadet better they be slit throat percentages

Chicken penmanship tied the thirteenth knot hangman

I arrange panoramic of a plastic catalogue

And where wild dogs sing tailor made lullabies tried by my offspring

I'll bring the butterflies and he can bring the centipedes

And she'll bring the cadavers set em' free and let em' feed

The devil tree penciled me in but

I slept thick through my alarm sock

Slick Willy hid in the barn

While farmer charmed the crops

And I'm a warden

My tongue is full of glass

Because I promised my friend

I'd chew up the bottle

If he truly drank the poison

I'm alienating the mating man to the high ride

Base tied

Face mine's and make God clones

We can manufacture medicine

Cut into 5 digit slide clock

The essentials in I'll be a bill collector

My destinies resting with red worms chewin'' off the carcass anyway

Let me slay artists for tips in the penny tray

By the way if that diamond ring don't shine

That's 'cause I bought it at the five and dime

But don't neglect the sentiment

I'll pedal my tricycle through the f 5 logistics of a twister

Soaked in the religions of a nit picker

No more pencils no more books

I built the city out one brick

It had a mayor and a crook

I made the crook stab the mayor

Then slay himself in the gills

I stole the brick back and migrated east now let's build

If I botched the operation

I apologize sorry

The air's rooted in carbon

I'm but a mortal archer parked in amber waves of starlets

I'm fresh out of Geppeddo's woodwork asylum

Cedar frame wire bound knuckles

Let a tug of the puppeteer steer my hustle

Well when a page becomes a squire re engage clap your wings

When a noble's demoted

Hope it don't sucker punch the colonies

But when the catapult releases lease your claims behind the bunker

And fasten stinger pageant results to the public eye glory hunter

Is it genuine enough to feel baby felon

Negotiate comradery of wills

Hows this my little loom

Perv surgeon with dirty dominion monitor boxes

Hovering inches 'bove pertinent urchin toxins

Now y'all ain't excused from table side

Till the dinner plates fly

Slurping' liquid happy citzen enhancer

I got this slicky sycamore head shaker

Mimic stitch and splinter entry

Thereby filtering citizens hit man prior to acts descending tight

Cats know the ambiance calm beyond comparison

Captive passive spring loaded serenity

I'm trying to give this city acupuncture

Shovin one way pins in subway systems

Stand up where

I'm layin now that a runway vic push

Made you go batty

Spreading spawn legitimate

Spice the bishop sever the ties

Splinter the kinship

See every now and again

I love life but hate to admit it

'Cause it spreads the jinx on a sleeping cynic

No more pencils no more books

I built the city out one brick

It had a mayor and a crook

I made the crook stab the mayor

Then slay himself in the gills

I stole the brick back and migrated

I'm quadruple six plus scruples category mayhem stems

So one overlooked the scene including loopholes

When Christ studies the return ramifications

I'll burn the campus to impress him

Then rock like medusa glances

You ran the final mile before the blanks blow

Home alone sippin beetle juice

Just to numb and then shimmy the needles loose

I built a castle out of fifty two cards

Plus jokers with an image

Modern theory jars us

While remaining harnessed to the vintage

I'm mad at how far this is dishonoring Akham's Razor

But it seemed so being fatigued knuckle work labor

I've patched the little leakage in the shell around my greed

In case Tommy Turbulence located

The matrix then impedesooh

Whistle B in dirge 'bout the boogie burst classic

Helen fell in haunted machines screened by similars

That pagan act of suicide came to the daggers surface

Due to one queen who lodged the faith inside a broken circus

Me and my stargazer from woodwork serve the furnace right

Pittin and discoloring up the lung that stung the serpent

I cherish the ferris wheel revolutions

It's not because the ride enthralls

More simply to the fact that it still revolves

Nursed in a bracket televis plastics and sacchirine well

I oppose mass panic

The repressed fantasy cadetts pose with a latch key demenor

Returning to find a home vacant

With no similars to compare days with

So let's build
