Aesop Rock - Sabbatical with Options lyrics

Are you leaving for the country You say the city brings you down I envy you I hung a lung over the only oak in BK This was after having perused every crook nook tucked in a scrupula That the growth of the neighborhood on his last city b-day And as they ushered in the kiddies handing each one that gift-wrapped louisville aluminum Swing batter chatter box Black tar gather at a scrape for the cake going six from the bus traffic half a dozen summoned from a love of drug magic Fire in the max cap beater need a beer from his fierce drug habits and heaters under the mattress Love 'em all to d**h but I'm slowing down faster and I know this town backwards Lookin' at him different cause he boasts with no liquour in the gla** he wet his lips with Never preach - what I write's irrelevant but I reach for the clicker if the picture isn't helping 'em Bet he bleached up shimmy at a seat belt Jimmy over city limits, giddy-up and leap Left, he steps with a duffel bag shuffle Most don't focus so his folks won't notice Those old jokes don't hold him with the voltage of the moldy hocus pocus heat a geezer mostly grows with so 1985 Dodge Ares hand me down freebie piece of f**ed with sh** with the f**in yellow plates you are going to start for me Do not do this today, look, man, look you have been very good to me, okay?

Why? I dunno, had an itch, had a flame at both ends of the wick center in a brick ran him off ditch Let alone mad piper I don't wanna rat pack when a back's set for a tap spinal, get away bad driver Eyesight like a bat's and a bad license both got a bronx zoo with a lockpick kid slip back by the last vipers And tigers and bears you will hold down new york, I will be back to reclaim if I'm bored They like "Oh, Aes' buggin yeah he gonna leave", they said Well that's a bit of a radical process I was like "Hey man, I put my time in, I gotta, I gotta do somethin man, I tend to call it my Sabbatical with Options" I might be back, Here's to you and you and you, y'all are the ones, you're gonna come see me I'mma have a f**in bash, country crib man for a minute, at least try this sh**, man, I been a long-a** time to get this f**in house, I can't deal with this sh**
