Water

[Aesop Rock]<br>The water ain`t safe, the land`s made of mortar<br>I hug a half empty glass my dignity`s trying to corner<br>I`m trying to see the future in a tea cup and a saucer<br>But I rather be drinking coffee with my cigarette foster<br>Can a run-away buckle the cloud-nine fantasy filter <br>To force the brutal truth of daily marketplace wars through the roof?<br>I mean, I stood beneath the icicles that bleed under the awning<br>And magically mastered the great absorbing of spirit falling<br>But I`m sick I`ve plowed these fields a thousand times over<br>Sold botanical research studies to farmers with whole quarters<br>And when science proposes to art besides that peaceful sea<br>I`ll be that cat with a ring on a pillow shouting finally<br>Take a number, the apple seeds raineth upon your slumber<br>A hundred thousand freaks on parade for the village hunter<br>My every whim acted upon has gone loopy<br>But I play a game called let`s prepare barnacle city for the end-all noosings<br>I split the radius of go-getter bellies, reconnaissance<br>Sleeping fossil genie bottle optimist freeze<br>Run for the fountain but the fountain is a desert optical tease<br>Tummy full of sand running man impossible stop<br>There`s a wing in my gut and I`m all dust<br>Surfing the urban Ididaride, certainly flushed<br>Now one in the hands work to and top the toilet seater<br>But what lies inside my heart is off the motherfucking meter<br><br>[Chorus]<br>See the Water ain`t safe no more<br>"I`m just trying to build my self to act as a truly better man damn"<br>See the water ain`t safe no more<br>"Nah nah the water ain`t safe no more"<br>I`m just trying to be a solid oak tree for every child to carve its name across<br>"The water ain`t safe no more"<br>I`m just trying to be the dream of ever peasant the hurricane can offer<br>"I`m just trying to be some body I can talk to in the morning with a smile"<br>The Water ain`t safe no more..<br><br>[Verse Two]<br>And I`ve always been a 40 night chronologic hostage<br>Rusted hook in the lip of the monarch<br>Wingless Anime<br>I don`t play in the man race cycle<br>Hope floater<br>Gloating inside carnal indifference till doom cops a slot <br>And potent quotas<br>I`m 20 something pumping acrylic tomorrow sideways<br>Blazing passage with a map tattooed on the back of the classless<br>Now tip-toe across a lost cause<br>Because a lost cause found<br>Don`t mean you found a cause<br>That means you found a lost cause<br>Ok now I`ve been here for role playing<br>Slaying my here and now<br>To benefit consumption for my peers steering the plow<br>And it`s incredible<br>Handy jackets turn numerals to sentinels<br>But bad apples ain`t sweet <br>And cretins acts ain`t that memorable<br>I`m Mozart with a focus on the tide<br>Hiding the inconsistencies of man behind water and wine<br>I wear a tiger striped ego and bilbo act my progression<br>Where the kindlings formulated through the flesh of the oppressors<br>Now, God had a flask I can prove it<br>You really think the 13 loops that used honor <br>Spawned me a sober unit? check potion<br>Addressed the ghost inside my TV with a ruler<br>Adhered to the back bone, stone pusher<br>Here ten thousand hackers deep in the movement<br>That`s 20,000 crucial ruby heels clicking in unison<br>It`s beautiful, truly beautiful<br>I keep a stick inside my hand<br>And carve my name inside every wall of the falling hologram<br><br>[Chorus]<br>See the Water ain`t safe no more<br>"I`m just trying to build my self to act as a truly better man damn"<br>See the water ain`t safe no more<br>"Nah nah the water ain`t safe no more"<br>I`m just trying to be a solid oak tree for every child to carve its name across<br>"The water ain`t safe no more"<br>I`m just trying to be the dream of ever peasant the hurricane can offer<br>"I`m just trying to be some body I can talk to in the morning with a smile"<br>The Water ain`t safe no more...
