Red Wing

Descending from the heavens with a message like Hedwig
I swoop down on the feather of a red wing
So chic and ebony I reek finesse and we
Better bow down ready to kiss the feet of your next king

Shell cordovan leather up on my neck and wrists
Men’s cardigan hand carved out of leopard skin
Every inch of my skeleton’s decked in epaulets
So elegant not even Caesar salad could dress like this

Lot of moxie when I’m hot pink Croc-ing it
Rockabilly swag when I’m blue jean dominant
Would you believe that’s what I see in the mirror
And when I walk out my bedroom it’s like people just see the opposite?

I feel powerful I hear applause
Saint Kevin can’t step to the power in my palms
But I’ve never walked Hollywood Boulevard long enough
To color a star something other than bronze

But the Hall of Fame is somewhere I do not belong
Sound the alarm, I’m plotted somewhere off of the chart
My Logic is not Common, I might be the anomaly
That finally pulls society from out of the dark

‘Cause
I’m the Baa Baa black sheep with scars so scarlet
I turn a grayscale world so harsh lit
I blend in, get along like an armistice
Until I raise my arm and a whole world war hits

I’m the Baa Baa black sheep with scars so scarlet
I turn a grayscale world so harsh lit
I blend in, get along like an armistice
Until I raise my arm and a whole world war hits

I stalk the barley
I pull straws for a hobby
And if mine’s long and your’s small
Then aha I’m sorry
Call it the luck of the draw
But you’ve got no chance with my markers
I’ve scribbled out of the lines, out the box since I was a toddler

And you’re
Never gonna stop a little lyrical genus
Never gonna get up in the jizz of my species
You’ll never pronounce me dead or alive
Agelaius phoeniceus

You shoot out from out of the three but
I just lay up it’s easiest
You could be the greatest each season but
Matteo’s the Geekiest

A caped crusader
Like the Crimson Chin chiseling all the haters
I can write my jaw line but it’s so sharp, I’ll save it
For a day when I’m not rapping out in nature

I’m the Baa Baa black sheep with scars so scarlet
I turn a grayscale world so harsh lit
I blend in, get along like an armistice
Until I raise my arm and a whole world war hits

I’m the Baa Baa black sheep with scars so scarlet
I turn a grayscale world so harsh lit
I blend in, get along like an armistice
Until I raise my arm and a whole world war hits

If you’re immune to the herd then share your beautiful words
Before you lose it to a merc who disagrees with it

Wear your heart on your sleeve by all means
But if you got a chip on your shoulder, then just
Eat it
