Aesop Rock - Give it Up lyrics

[Slug] I sit in the back of the chamber Away from the strangers like I'm a big banger f** ya theories Clearly it's a myriad Of weak characters and second to last periods Put an asterisk by your name With a footnote explaining the shattered gla** frame The dusk came The smile was afflicted They called it fame Highly addictive [MURS] I graduated like a cylinder My signature Can't be recognized by these minuscule miniatures Consummate con artists Conning all you conformers Pushin' my penmanship Pinnacle performance A peg leg A prophet through piracy I still sail (sell) Indulged in the irony And I will be The last man standing Screamin' "Land ho" and sink your whole damn planet [Slug] Give it up, give it here I want full attention Sharpen up the #2 It's time to start the testin' Sentences etched in To the development Confliction eternal At war with your skeleton [MURS] I got an air tight alibi No holes in my story Gossip hood homies that can hold that for me There's new ways to get high But all that bore me Don't want to be strung out on coke when your forty Chorus [Aesop Rock] (Slug): (Give it up) Swim together or drown separate Do not let her peer into a man's eyes like Xs (I got Xs) Do not let her rehabilitate Eyes like Xs, tongues like figure eights (Give it up) Dip together or dive separate Do not let peer into a man's eyes like Xs (I got Xs) Do not let her rehabilitate Eyes like Xs, tongues like figure eights (Give it up) [MURS] Here it is, a big day for the little rhymers Puttin' out a new record All they do is criticize us It's all up on the Internet They an*lyze who's in and out of Can't they see these men are riders? All that do is energize us Powered up You sittin' with that sour cup Cryin' over spilled milk Mad cause your hour's up It's our turn Better luck next time Get yours Until then respect mine [Slug] I'm a product of too many Minnesota winters Go figure They call me a go getter Had a fetish for puttin' letters together Did it for the adventure cause we know better There's no treasure Just s**, d**, rock & roll and guns And a visit to the dentist every 24 months I never respect the peaches or plumbs That's why I speak to your face and keep my hands on your lunch [MURS] Boss up or bow down to big timers We download Dodgin' all you dick riders See me talkin' to a chick You know I'm tryin' to take her home co*k block my convo, I'm crackin' your camera phone [Slug] Out hollerin' Cause my tolerance is thin I'm callin' offense moves with my defense in Gotta watch you fools with every open eye Don't forget to watch them ones that try to hold you high (You know that's right) [Hook]
