Lyrics
We were rappin round a handle like baggage claim tags
Using a metaphor, comparing their activities to reclaiming baggage at an airport while rapping.
Scenic route to success, passin palisade crags
Describing a challenging and unconventional path to success by passing difficult rocky areas.
Starin at the summit wearin plummets on our rib cages
Feeling the pressure and weight of reaching the peak while equipped with safety gear.
Stuck against rubble blowing kisses at the cliff faces
Feeling stuck in a difficult situation, sending affection toward obstacles.
Flicked casings in the crossfire, charred fibers
Experiencing conflict, leaving traces of destruction and chaos.
Melted into the flesh of instrumentals like scar liner
Their presence deeply embedding into the musical elements like scars.
Lost ciphers decoded, motives remain hidden
Uncovering hidden meanings or intentions behind encrypted messages.
Brake-clipping, and the stars swirlin as the Wraith spinnin
Experiencing a thrilling and luxurious moment while driving a powerful car.
Hittin eighth in the order, crowd the plate with my aura
Performing at a position in the order of importance, influencing others.
Barely safe, middle finger tripped the base at the corner
Barely avoiding a potentially bad situation, defiantly challenging norms.
From the crates I was born to keep tricks up the vinyl sleeve
Being born with skills and techniques to surprise and impress.
Seen nothing worded this way like a silent v
Expressing something in a unique, unprecedented way.
Ultraviolet seeds beam brighter under scorched turf
Symbolizing growth and resilience even in harsh conditions.
Scored first blood cuttin grooves into cored earth
Being the first to create something groundbreaking despite challenges.
Plucking futures out the firmament with tweezers
Delicately shaping the future from the vast possibilities.
Since the lab days when crew kept burners next to beakers
Recalling past experiences where danger was close to innovation.
Half my team's from Rome, other from Pompeii
Describing the diverse origins of the team, possibly metaphorically.
Short trips from spring chicken to entree
Referring to rapid growth or transformation.
Write from the top of the bottom like Dante
Writing from a unique perspective, combining highs and lows.
Guess I had to learn gravity the hard way
Learning a difficult lesson (gravity) through challenging experiences.
Warm breeze of hot air hugged my winded face.
Feeling the sensation of a warm breeze amidst exhaustion.
Muscle memory outta shapethese are different weights.
Struggling with familiar tasks due to changes or challenges.
Ate words when I was starved for attention
Suppressing one's thoughts when seeking attention.
from a god in ascendance to the bottom of dependence.
Experiencing a fall from a position of power to dependence.
Kept cool like a Freon leak. Down, up, up, down,
Keeping composure in fluctuating situations, like a cooling leak.
the metronome was a seesaw's creak.
Life's rhythm feeling unstable, akin to a seesaw's movement.
Lowkey offbeat sharpest senses pressed flat.
Feeling out of sync, losing sharpness.
Minor problems scaled major, noted where my breaths tracked.
Small issues seeming significant, noting breaths as a measure.
In plain EnglishI measured proof by the wrong angles.
Misinterpreting evidence due to a wrong perspective or approach.
Plastic facade torn to smoke like cigar labels.
Disintegrating a false image or facade.
Crossed cables, mixed messages and metaphors.
Confusion due to conflicting information and comparisons.
Got everything off of my chest except this xenomorph.
Expressing unresolved emotional baggage, represented by a xenomorph.
Nevermore Park helmet is over my daughter's crown,
Protecting their child and observing her explorations.
goggles got her spotting pits she can crawl around.
Still maintaining a tough exterior despite parental responsibilities.
Still the master of the wince and the scowl
Being protective yet allowing the child to explore independently.
til she climbs to the peak of her crib with a smile.
Anticipating their child's growth and milestones with joy.
