“The Cask” is a retelling of the classic Edgar Allen Poe story, “The Cask of Amontillado.” The song holds many direct parallels to the original tale and its main characters, Montresor and Fortunato. These roles are filled by Spose and his unnamed frenemy, respectively.
The short track shows how muc...
[Intro]
Ha ha ha ha, yeah
[Verse]
There he was, quite buzzed, height: five foot twelve
In a sweater from the Gap and a Brooks Brothers belt
I approach, "There he is! How do you do?"
He's taken aback, "Oh, Spose, how are you?
It's been a minute," I reply "Yes, it has"
He don't know that I know he's been talking trash on every track
Never wrote a diss back, I pretend we're friends
'Bout to lure him to the basement and exact revenge
So I say, "Hey, look, if you still blazed
Got these trees in the cellar way beyond purple haze"
He's like, "No fucking way," his words all slurred
"Spose, you're the man! I've been looking for some herb"
We get deep into the dark, I chain him to a pole
Build a brick wall quick as he screams out, "NO!"
Spose Edgar Allen Poes MCs slow
Decomposed, bones when they found him where I bound him
The Cask was written by Spose.
The Cask was produced by Principal Dean.
