Saul Williams - Elohim (1972) lyrics

In 1972 my mother was rushed from a James Brown concert In order to give birth to me My style is black hole Most n***as simply sound like earth to me If hip hop were the moon i'd be the first to bleed Cyclical sacraments of self for all my peers to read I recite the user night ??? the light for you to read by Have you floating on cloud nine without you realizing it's my mind's sky And the ground on which you walk is the tounge with which i walk I speak the seas, i root the trees of suburbia and new york City streets can never claim me, that's why i never sound like you All y'all n***as claim the streets as if paths through the woods ain't true You better walk the path, you better do the math Cuz your screw face will only make the buddah laugh Even if you know the lessons you don't know the half But don't take it from me Son, take a bath I can recite the gra** on the hill and memorize the moon I know the cloud forms of love by heart And have brought tears to the eye of the storm And my memory banks walk ??? forests and amazon river banks And i scream them into sunsets that echo in earthquakes Shadows have been my spotlight as i monolouge the night And dialouge with days Soliloquys of wind and breeze Applauded by sunrays We put language in zoos to observe caged thought And toss peanuts and p-funk at intellect And motherf**ers think these are metaphors I speak what i see All words and worlds are metaphors of ME My life was authored by the moon Footprints written in soil The foutain pen of marshen men Novelling human toil And yes, the soil speaks highly of me But earth seeds root me poetry And read forests forever through resscitation Now Maybe i'm too serious Too little here to matter Though i'm riddled with the reason of the sun I stand up comets with the audience of lungs This body of laughter is it with me or at me? Hue more or less Human though gender's mute And the punchline has it's lifeline at it's root I'm a star this life of suburbs i commute Make daily runs between the sun and earthly loot And raise my children to the height of life and truth
