In the pre-moment prattling
Culling cattle right by the bulls
Rattled and ready for battle
All Socrates with his hemlock
Calling him into the shadows
That he doubted as thoughts
Sprouted the meaning got clouded
And then all of us just wait to see
What the crowd does it’s a loud
Fuss all of this all the scripture
And pictures we kiss
Feels like we lost the fizz
Or the buzz, our schism or our
Home base. We all make believe
There’s a mansion behind this crawlspace
So we look for a door key, constantly
Adjusting our approach keeping all clues
In a filing system Eden, a convalescent
Collating corporation commandeering you
In every stressful situation.
In the pre-moment our shifting
components come up incomplete
The mayor of a ghost town
The betrayer is bound to toast
Almost a sound My grey behaviour
With a frown like a coastline
A prayer made on a dare a scarecrow
Wearing 10 000 dollar clothes
Conniving his way into live shows
I suppose new lows grows between my toes
Everytime I shower with my power on
Full disclosure a stowaway into the
Tiger enclosure I walk with aplomb
They put a bomb on my hair comb
Someone maybe I called them chrome dome
Sometime but I’m scarier than applying for a home loan
A nefarious harrier equipped with full stereo sturdy
Like old people playing B-I-N-G-O

Skill and ability
Are two different realities
To the perfected perspective
Both meanings are an interchangeable fallacy
Something you have done
you could do again
But you could also fail miserably
In all probability
You could use your life to master
a task
And lose it all to senility.
All substance is likely
To generate anomalies
With all apologies
To isosceles
Triangles.

Crass and brash I break wind with the brass in a flashback foreshadow syntax cracks the death blow the cackling laughter of the backhoe bringing agro banjo to your Bistro borrow through your botched bravado like Piarro bizarro I'm from the Bureau of tomorrow I'm on the trail of the red sparrow I need to know why do you wallow in the turbo tableau window to tiptoe around typo your new Nouveau motto is as old as the Pharaohs Pluto's plateau serves pseudo orange pekoe that's cool thought is cool I get doggerel from my dog-eared copy of Pantagruel it adds fuel to the fools who duel with kilojoules as ghouls misrule the cesspool I guess I'll guard the jewels in my vanquished vestibule while trying to re-tool my molecules I stand vigil with a vial of virile Vergil's verbal visuals the vassal vocal vandal manhandling thoughts that no man could handle

Vercingeterix
Volatile high velocity philosophies repeatedly beating the shit out of me scripted shooting spree straight to the epiphanies dot the t and cross out all apostrophies apostle please meanwhile make believe Al Jolson is comedy settlers plow pathetic theology pyramid scheme plausibility Yes I got the skill set to rock the facility giving flak attack to your weak ass abilities now someone feel me please aw geez not really? What about when I release my grizzly bees?
You say fluent I say incongruent just getting by under a sky that makes fly boys cry as the rain gutter rampages the collected works of Robert Bly the weeping of the wise guy in keeping with the why of the small fry just try to comply without being complicit solicitors elude the illicit as logistics then get ballistic like misfit tickets this is historic I rock euphoric rhetoric the beggar king like Vercingeterix competitors tricks stick to the basics of a better fix my esthetic is the prerequisite breaking down the bandwidth hauling ass like mass transit falling quotes from hall and oates just a quick note don’t rock the boat warming up my elbow don’t let Del know they carpet bombed the sunny meadow ergo my flow is undertow a stones throw from the scare crow about to turn pro your lying low from my yo ho ho the glow off the snow is so apropos

Rap X Wichita, Kansas
Rap X is produced by Scott (Monty) Munro of the band Preoccupations, the lyrics are by poet Micah Stone. The songs are rap that attacks itself, to root out the homophobia and sexism that has been inserted by glorifying pimp culture. The tone is a simple calm assertion that we've been doing it wrong, that rap needs to wake up and get out of the strip club go home and give their partner a back rub. ... more
