All My Friends

[Intro]
Ahh... welcome. How you doing? Question:

[Verse 1]
How come everyone, the first time they meet me, treats me
As if I don't know the first thing about submerging myself too deeply?
Seemingly, they haven't yet reached the far fathoms to the dark chasm
That my soul embodies - now pause; detect the sarcasm
Don't tell me you thought I was serious, don't make me start laughing
Three crews reduced together in meeting rooms discussing charts, math and bar graphs
Of productivity resembling a ski slope, wе flow at zero
Upon the horizontal axis, Oddjobs utilize jaw drop tactics
For morе than arms inside my practice
And we sorta follow the facts if I explore beyond the tracks
Of truth actually born along the path
And it's a timeless science, I've mastered self reliance
Ever since all my idols sold out, no doubt that's quite a profile to comply with
Silence minus the quiet epitomizes my vibrance
It's kinda like the assignment was provided without guidance
Applied pride in a plan that was so dope, as soon as I thought of it
I had to come up with an alternate in case you caught a glimpse of the blueprint, I got a hitch
It documents that when there's a lotta guys rapping inside
Tracking that I choose to walk this planet wise
Cracking and asking "How many MCs does it take to change a light bulb?"
Answer one to formulate a thought in his puny little white skull after night fall
Oh, how tribal to chant all those words and travel in herds
That's just the way my cavalry works, they rattle my nerves
Step in the spot, the music stopped kinda like they were reading my book
Still hold my same view of hip hop, just the blind leading the blind

[Hook x2]
Let's pretend that this mic's not in front of me
All of my friends are invited as my company
Every sense I will strike with my pungency
Calling an end to a life of redundancy

[Verse 2]
I am Hermes the messenger, turn keys and enter the burning temperature
I certainly hold less than a plethora of respect for the
Lackeys, yes-men, mutes, know-nots, commenters, etcetera
Craving the utmost honor of the competitor
Title, writing vital thoughts on wide rule
Giving viral infection, stabbing em all with the spiral of my rhyme book
Really feel me, know, hear me, question me, rhyme with me
Take the time to find irony in society, like why are only
The rashest actions justifiable by anger?
Why are only the over-the-counter drugs kept in childproof containers?
Who's liable for the dangers? I think we've all been desensitized
Wearing t-shirts when it's like wintertime, so I tend to find
Simple pleasures in an opposable big thumb, my disposable income
And for the most part, a stable emotional system
It comes from lack of friction and that omnipresent repetition
Cuz too much tradition is what causes cobwebs to get spun
I sit stunned with hollow bones all alone, monotone
Broke like the bottle thrown at the cobblestone, gathered up the strength and hobbled home
Swallowed whole by the simple blank stare through the windowpane glare
Dissonant visions consist of creating things that ain't there
So take care, I'll be back before you know it
Beware, or at least be witty when you choose to scorn a poet
You can say what you will, go ahead and speak your mind
For all of us, it's an uphill climb, so fuck skills, let's just rhyme

[Outro]
Let's just rhyme. Yo, this is for all my friends: Nomi, Contact, Naimles, Crescent Moon, Deetalx, Anatomy, Geo on the drums, his brother Casey on the bass
It's dope, ain't it?
And now I'm ghost like bankroll at the banquet
