Babylon By Bus

Babylon by bus, no tagalongs
It's a marathon, tryna run it up
Lake Michigan, a frozen pond
Black Swan with the bubble butt
Opera glasses clutched front my ugly mug
I administer the food and drugs
Monsoon love, oxytocin flood
Red mud ran out the hills like blood
Glistening waterbug on clean counter
Plague mask, gave the place a cursory glower
He ran away, I gave chase but gave up and sat on his gate for hours
Pissing in a bottle
Lampposts adorned with the missing
Listen, I'm not swimming in tomorrows
Parachute twisted and snarled
Just glad I kissed 'em, I knew the time was borrowed

(Shrapknel)
Hey yo
Stiff swig of Blanton's to celebrate the New Wave
Hope our host ain't got himself a 12 gauge
Not Akata Lu Deng, playing devil's advocate, now who's game?
Handsome with my b-boy, Trugoy in the PJs
Cold open, slow to focus, cameras pan to a freeway
The ransom was a decoy, we p-noid, a heat wave
Red herring's nest in the Bible Belt
Cashier with a carbine, never can be too safe these days
Before Novitzki's blonde phase, mic hand caught a callus
Dallas overseas kick when Detlef was a Maverick
Mouth dry on that Southby road to Damascus
Better Call Saul a cab, it's getting bad with traffic
Bumper, Bumper Knight Rider, wish we had an Airwolf
Dickhead Logic somehow hacked into our Bluetooth
Move quick, bad news, Cru Thik
Constellation funk, bad Moon as viewed through the roof tint

Caught 'em lacking on 9/11
I lie down like V.I. lenin
People don't want the truth, they want me to tell 'em grandma went to heaven
Rifle on the wall as an icebreaker
All the world's a stage, she came to me in full makeup
Anyone wanna be in my life gotta sign several waivers
Wires out the taser, suspicious fire in the galley of the freighter
What I do can't be copied
I take care of these words, Munchausen by proxy
Somehow beat the tox screen
God save the Queen, but that train doesn't stop here anymore
