Pete Rock - Ataraxia lyrics

[Hook] Steady waxing, feeling ataraxic Showing love on every track, now that's sick Stretch out the feeling fantastic [Verse 1] f** your nickel and dime I'm after the nick of time Like a fiend for the nicotine while I'm feeling sublime And feeling ataraxic Relax it's time, I'm bound to be prevalent Like the villain Ben is bound to be benevolent Every moment is, it's that simple Make them happy, I'm conjuring dimples And dead you will be But for now we got windfalls of wondrous whimsy The kids be frolicking in puddles While you with your Netflix queue is looking muddled and I'm Gliding, riding and conniving No f** just surviving, yeah I'm thriving like the root seed Don't group me in a club focused on the diamonds Even the heart don't suit me Brain's raining verses like Socks and Spot though Bringing color to the field like Rothko Inclined to paint in the Universal Mine Blue Move like the sine do, Report like Ezra Klein do It's pouring, it's raining I love running through it I can't explain it And you won't catch me complaining Cause I know my crescent here ain't waning [Hook] [Verse 2] I love the change I'm seeing here like autumn You wouldn't smell the flowers if you fell right on 'em Or kids with two lips start shouting out wisdom Crazy days amazed inside a violet kingdom Yeah why be violent, we throwing parties not punches We hungry munching on brunches Care for sheep, free 'em from the shepherds Make the pawn a queen and get her off those checkers I'm most artfully rocking it on and off Between Amadeus, 2Pac, and Rachmaninoff Orion to Zion to ions Swinging nebulous phrases, moon and chemical phases Melting off the frigid and timid Finally grab a moment, cause I am vivid I did it, I'm doing and pursuing it Avoiding Mr. Green and I Clue 'em in [Bridge] To measure any weather is a treasure The present's such a pleasure, I'm dying to endeavor Let's just bathe in the heat then Every moment's expanding, not fleeting Now let your mind groove just like the raps do Let your mind groove just like the raps [Hook]
