What Would Galileo Do?

I’d like to hang with you
Ponder and create with you
Originate or innovate
What would Galileo do?
Every child is an artist born
Get right in your heart get right in your mind
Right On

Figure you used to fingerpaint
Why’d that feeling evaporate
What made that eliminate
I don’t mean to exacerbate
That emptiness that lack of purpose feeling like I’m worthless
When all I’m trying to do is make music by rapping great
School becomes a purchase homey I don’t mean SUNY
From Albany to Buffalo I’m thirsting for nursery
Enchanted by a mobile
Laid out in my crib
Instead of driving automobiles to the workplace where we live
Curb straight to the lips
Third graders in the crips
Tales from the Darkside sound like tales from the crypt
Set sail on a ship swim with the fish build a time machine
Rocket to the milky way
Dinosaurs and minor keys
When I used to climb a tree and hide for afternoons
Just so I could read or write secluded in some refuge
Where wild things are
Where the sidewalk ends
I make a fort from sofa cushions
And we all play Superfriends
Hall of Justice ruptured on some interleague
I’m in the industry of recognizing what I’ve survived and what it did to me
Keep a sense of symmetry and to talk to my pets
Get lost in imagination and oft adventure on quests

I’d like to hang with you
Ponder and create with you
Originate or innovate
What would Galileo do?
Every child is an artist born
Get right in your heart get right in your mind
Right On

Out of tune with your volition
Slipping up like permission
I’ve kicked enough in the mud
But now it’s turning to quicksand
Ain’t broke it don’t need fixing
But when clock out is 6 and
The train’s crowded like halftime and pissing
My past life is reliving itself over and over
Until I can incorporate it into my aura
The horror the floral arrangements the funerals
The time capsule never undug
Sidewalk Superbowls
Private party musicals
Been replaced by shuffle play
But I still turn to the bottle at the end of another day
Still got feeding times bundle up when it’s freezing
Gloves for heating and struggle with love and achievement
We learn a lot of facts and knowledge that’s mostly useless
Unless you really use it towards making some self-improvements
Take a book to heart fuck it take a book to bed
And lay awake for hours with images running through your head
Act like movie characters when you exit the cinema
And never forget what it feels like to be kid again
Crane kicks utility belts spider sense ability helps
To keep your mind in time with what its really like to be yourself

I’d like to hang with you
Ponder and create with you
Originate or innovate
What would Galileo do?
Every child is an artist born
Get right in your heart get right in your mind
Right On

We all grow up and get old and hopefully grow wise
Well I’m gonna do that and live love and love life
We all grow up and get old and hopefully grow wise
Well I’m gonna do that and live love and love life

This is what hard work feels like in real life
Silent knight said it best busy is my best friend
This is what artwork reveals right
Real light
Avengers GI Joe ninja turtles and Xmen
This is what a hardcore careers like weird right?
My jewels are not holograms I don't need gems
Most grow old just outta the sheer fright so veer right
Or else get left with nothing but salary and no sense
Stolen childhoods are an epidemic of the worst kind
Never seen ET no close encounters of the third kind
Word to the 3rd and the whole say word for keeping my inner kid alive freestyling and spitting rhymes
But wow new York is killing me like Gil Scott
It's hard to balance management practice and chill lots
Went from ill blocks to filled spots in venues with the bill top
Live long and prosper
Spock logic Buffalo Bills props
