Buck 65 - Giga Single - Pen Theif

 

pen thief, i sit with my back to the television,

thinking deeply, watching the ink seep into the page.

the wars i wage are fought to the finish,

with written symbols and nimble fingers.

 

i'm hooked up to poison iv and my pulse is irregular.

my body convulses and pain hides behind my eyes.

subtle floods of fluid collect on the floor in the form of blood puddles.

my lungs are sponges, and this pen is a tunnel

for the flesh that i squeeze into the mouth of my funnel.

i whisper my reports to the candles in private,

and try to protect my property from pirates properly,

when and if the plan of attack hatches.

parts of my brain are stained by black patches,

and i calculate the extent of my sickness

by sub-dividing the depths of despair by thickness.

my ideas incubate under my tongue for weeks,

are born, and take form in my cheeks.

when i say when and where, then measily

crumbs become banquets easily.

blankets wrap themselves around shivering swimmers.

a promise sits on the burner and simmers.

i stroke the breast of yesterday morning,

whirlwinds listening for the early warning system.

applying pressure to joints to crack its sockets,

and shove the stolen pens into my jacket pockets.

four in the morning, biting through pencils,

and makeshift writing utensils.

 

because i'm a pen thief,

i sit with my back to the television,

thinking deeply, watching the ink seep into the page.

the wars i wage are fought to the finish,

with written symbols and nimble fingers.

with written symbols and nimble fingers.

 

all i need is a pen to be self-sufficient.

watch my language when the hands reach the twelfth position.

i rob from the blind when i got no choice,

and think to myself in a robot voice.

my hard covered rhyme book complete with gold trimming, to write in with pens that i take from old women.

even if it means a black eye and a swelled lip,

it goes with the territory for a felt tip...pen theif.

Josh Martinez - Made In China - I've Got Devils

 

I didn't even know where I was

I was so confused

 

but despite the lack of light i can't be eradicated

a plague in a parks

on your first born best educated

many minds debated the lines disected

and in time perfected

the approach indirected a code for all the following native to coach

now the words can't be heard aloud in the crowd

you're not allowed to dwell in my well

and dark clouds

i'm a shithead like that

still think heaven is a place on Earth?

when i purposely perverted the worse clone that i own

and let him roam first

 

so God created man to stand alone

and now i only trust my angels

and even they sleep around

when on the ground floor they whore

that you shits get away with poor attitude

and sure you're mad and wound and curse my name

but when the fluid came

you washed away and weren't the same

 

shameful, sorry, pitiful fools can do nothing right

like the first time a light shined you went blind

and killed as many of your fellow kind

as i will to let go

and still you wind and bitch

and moan and switch the bone you pick

and i'm getting so very fucking sick of it!

 

i was burned when it came

and they played more when they turned their backs

and saluted with their ass cracks

and walked away from the deluted world facts

so bark my little pets

hark! i can see those silhouettes go to war

and rape the Earth

and keep on smoking your cigarettes

 

CHORUS: i've got angels x2

i've got devils x2

So cute to see you smoke

 

And a coffee to go with that? ah...

 

Word up wordie x2

 

Kiss me, kiss me...muah!

 

See, i've grown up so i just own the cup

and drink my vows of sobriety

to a deity not immediately known for piety

so society is my fix to show we exist and grow

like plagues way out of control of their leagues

i'm a spiritual man but give the devil its new damn

it's not a soul around that throws a party like he do

half mexican, part jamaican, fully hebrew

i stood on a rock meditating til i was fully see through

between me and you

 

i'm sitting in sand sitting in guilt surrounded

by the abandoned work frame of the house of guilt

and first founded

having astounded my neighbours with the bare facts

i perceeded to carve my name into his house

with care and a fair size axe along the attacks

let's bring this baby down

Ni-chi to the crib muscled and it can't make a sound

and when it starts teething pike in a gag

stop his breathing and his face turns red

and then even after it's dead and gone

i can always say all along

that i knew Ni-chi was wrong

 

God's not dead!

he's in a sallow full of sand

he's passing the time and rise again

in the aftermath of man

and when you hear the words recited like a fool

quote!

and tell'em you heard it from Josh

on a beat that Niu wrote...

 

CHORUS:....

 

Sure i dwell in hell but you know

it's not all that bad

cause i'm surrounded by my friends

and so many i know are glad

to be a part of the family

sad, because we get such bad publicity

it's not so black and white

in fact we're proud of our ethnicity!

 

Write the first line of thinking

tight and light drinking and sure it gets stinking hot

but we get a light sprinkling sometimes

i remember being spermed in all hell fires forever

however times have changed

we've now retired that lame devil look

 

my ... couldn't wait to get at the great catch

when they saw the car keys

and couldn't match the dna with the obadge o-oh

death by dyatribe

my peoples are incapsulated

children put in cells

but perhaps thay made a pass

and spread after the fact

 

i know i talk too much

but can i offer you a seat?

are you cold?

well let me discretely go and turn up the heat!

 

i've been all around the world and

i i i i i can't find enough souls to bind

so if you'll let me

i'll try to be brief

and just speak my mind

 

i wanna be frank with you

i know you work hard every day

and when i say that life spanks you

you know i'm in your corner all the way

 

i've seen your kids pray for the day

when they can have it all

and not have you talke the fault

for you not having the gut to come to me

i can make it all better

i can make you see through

where you can't

cause i can be true to my word

and grant you everything you want

 

your wife spoke my name last night

as she slept a haunted sleep

and she weeps but she creeps from the cracks

and tries to keep undaunted

i understand that you're a man

who couldn't be everything you wanted

so let me help!

i'm only here to steer you through the fear

i want nothing but a soul on my control

so hear me clearly!

i can be your best friend and cast a blessing on your baby

cause when hell freezes over i'll be in bed with you lady...

sleep tight!

 

CHORUS:....

 

 

 

 

 

Sage Francis - Personal Journals - Crackpipes

 

I'd give a twenty one gunshot salute

With the toy rifle that you bought me but it won't shoot

And all is well because there's been one too many shots

The sterile robots want to talk to me about Detox

Stop the presses, there's been an update

Delivered via 1:30 AM phone call

When an only half-informative source talks discretely

Meet me-- at the family room at the side of the Intensive Care

Unit

Immediately, I'll carry a tune

The sirens so loud, can't hear my music

Keep free-- of negative thoughts, everything'll be fine

We all assumed... That it would go back to the way things were

That it would go back to normal soon

Saw the moon in a way that I never seen it before

When I looked up that night into the sky wondering why

Lookin' for answers, guess I ain't asked right

I'm guessin most of yall out there know exactly what that's like

 

What that's like, now tell me what's that like?

 

It's like a whirlwind of emotions that occurs when moms and dads

fight

It's like when a girl grins, an emotion of hers

 

That holds your arm, and grabs tight

Hurl him into the ocean, one of them cold sweat heat flash

types

With extreme fluctuations in temperature changes

Have been known to crack pipes...

...crack pipes...crack pipes...

 

Meet me-- half way in a goal, extra length just to help your

strength

Meet me-- at the AA meeting, needing to take more then 12 steps

Bring me to your hiding place, so I can face your vice grip

I'll chisel every single monkey off your back with this ice

pick

Come meet up with me on the sidelines when the game is over

Just to say hello, then afterwards, backstage

To let me know that you enjoyed the show

And go to grandma's house for Sunday dinner

Sit at the head of the table take away the fatal flaw

you made the day before, I seen you bleed

Meet me-- on Christmas Eve, we can fight but make up before you

leave

Make visits with the rest of those that rest in pieces of my

dreams

Meet me at the fork in the road where lost souls get indecisive

Meet me at the crossroads so I can have someone to walk into the

light with

yeah been hearing about busdriver. wanna check out buck 65.

 

 

oooh been listening to an awesome cd lately: door of faith, by krishna das. feel-good music, for those who like to feel good.

 

 

 

For Busdriver I reccomend Memoirs of the Elephantman some really great twisted songs. Pen Thief by Buck is by far my favorite song, it is on the Giga Single comp, but for full CD check out This Right Here is Buck 65.

 

Hmm, never heard of Krishna Das, guess I gotta check it.

 

Oly I'll send it some time. I don't have it with me and can't remeber it right now.

Shame on you if you haven't picked this up yet, especially John Frieh because I know he's got good taste in classical:

 

[from an earlier post]

Obscure classical gem: Rachmaninov's "Vespers" by Robert Shaw Festival Singers

{this is actually the best recording of the best performance of the best director of the best choir singing the best music ever in the wildest dreams of any mortal being in the universe}
