Lyrics:
It doesn't matter anymore
It doesn't matter anymore
But I wish you and I talked a little bit longer
Before you put that crown on my head

Lord forgive me, yeah
I don't wanna go
I swear that I'm good where I'm at, yeah
The city trembles
They fear the worst
They need an angel
But I'm still a boy

Do you believe in me
What do you see in me?
Cause I'll be honest girl I don't feel a thing, hey
They see the best in me
But in my heart I feel like it's just a waste

Break hearts, but you'll never break mine
Talk back, or stay girl I really don't care
The city trembles
They fear the worst
They need an angel
But I'm still a boy

Break hearts, but you'll never break mine
Talk back, or stay girl I really don't care
The city trembles
They fear the worst, yeah
They need an angel, oh no
So I'll take the sword, yeah

LYRICS:
2.5 million years ago, a friend of mine 
Made a tool from a stone and defended his tribe
It’s technology, sorry for the technical term
It’s a wheel, then a fire and the rest is a blur 
Throw a theorized plot in the pot with applied science 
Let it sit, I bet it streamlines your environs
What’s a resource local to the grotto
The method isn’t free until the mechanism follow 
That’s technology, innovate a difference
A feat of engineering, a system made efficient 
There isn’t a condition, complication, or revision 
Where the answer ain’t to build a more sophisticated widget 
Idget, tired of games, Bronze Age, Iron Age
Weaponry in stellar form, shelter finer by the day
Live stock and vegetables in rows behind the hideaway
Mesopotamia out the muhfuckin' lion cage

If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
Now that is a powerful cat
 
Now that is a powerful cat

Now that is a powerful cat

You take a lever and a pulley and a winch and a wedge 
You get a labyrinth of aqueducts and pyramid steps
Before the Jesus, Archimedes on that miracle tech 
Year zero, you could feel the future rearing its head
Put a shoe on a horse, shoot a man with a gun 
Steampower, bifocals, and mechanical funk
Manipulate electricity, no it can not be done
Yes it can, ain’t a dam that could cancel the flood
True to human curiosity, at the tree of knowledge 
Pulling genies out of bottles, stealing from Leonardos
Plane train auto, hauling space age cargo
Bizarro technology, everyday is tomorrow 
Telegraph, telephone, you could flirt with Doris 
In Poughkeepsie from a cozy geodesic dome in Sydney 
You can write a letter with no paper
You could fix anything with a laser

If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
Now that is a powerful cat
 
Now that is a powerful cat

Now that is a powerful cat

You could get a robot limb for your blown off limb, 
Later on the same technology could automate your gig
As awesome as it is
Wait It gets awful, you could split a atom willy-nilly 
If it’s energy that can be used for killing then it will be 
It’s not about a better knife, It’s chemistry and genocide 
And medicine for tempering the heck in the projector light 
Landmines, agent orange, leaded gas, cigarettes
Cameras in your favorite corners, plastic in the wilderness
We can not be trusted with the stuff that we come up with 
The machinery could eat us, we just really just love our buttons
Ummm... technology, focus on the other shit 
3D-printed body parts, dehydrated onion dip
You could buy a jet-ski from a cell phone on a jumbo jet  
T-E-C-H-N-O-L-O-G-Y, it’s the ultimate


If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
Now that is a powerful cat
 
Now that is a powerful cat

Now that is a powerful cat

Aesop Rock - Mindful Solutionism

SONG CREDITS:

Cuts by Forest Pond

LYRICS:
The brand reads “Animal Farm”
A fugee on the lam, runnin’ with a lamb in my arms 
Trail of rabbits harboring the farmer’s brand of cigars 
And cattle after, after that it’s like a ramp to an arc 
Planned a garlic salmon, already romancing the fingerlings 
When reminded why the ringer’s off, it only ever “ring ring ring” 
Out of radio silence a bad miracle
Panic in the paradigm, attacking the familiar world 
Evacuate, bleeding heart, I had to let the horses out 
Who each step forward to bow free to ignore the corral 
Freedom ain’t a circle per the management’s “normal amount” 
It’s when the chorus vow to normalize the horse’s mouth 
Black Philip free to b-a-a what he b-a-a’s
From a growing blob of jail-broken oxen and hogs
I know some pigs’ll splinter off I seen ‘em mixing with the bosses
Sipping gin, as if the trough is less prestigious than the office 
It isn’t, receiving a transmission from the future 
Where your time around them humans ain’t protect you from they butcher’s Block, a bunch of us are meeting at the moor behind the the Orkin 
You coulda been a presence at the origin
Should you feel unsettled or some melting into madness 
After entertaining more second chances than Velma’s glasses
From a person place or otherwise increasingly disruptive trend 
You could always run the red, or break the glass or jump the fence, yea

It was always all of a sudden 
All’s well 'til it’s all of his palm on the button 
I am always into something 
I am always into something 

It was always all a whodunnit, 
All told, it was all of us up 'til it wasn’t 
I am always into something
I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I can introduce you to another realm
Help you with the move, but only you can go fuck yourself 
Cut to helter-skelter in glorious technicolor 
With bumper to bumper sending turtle shells at one another
It’s treasure hunters budding in some cannonball running of bulls 
Sweating in the dead of summer, red X on the bread and butter
Pardon while his pedal power shed the inseparable umbra
Reset the pecking order, still ain’t pick a second number
Detective on some "how you get so mega extra ultra?"
I said "never check the weather and always dress for the tundra" 
Merry “Dawn of the Mummy”, heard a call in my slumber
Woke to a thousand years of sauce of the month in a bunker 
Yum, you could be the lunker under pepper X, 
I feel like professor why, why are all my friends depressed? 
Why’s this party feel like when I walked back into Selmer’s Pets
In precious tears like “why are all my tetra dead... yet again? 
Landspeed entirely contextual
Glacial-pace grand prix, “space invader camera B!” 
Cam or not, copy room, camp ground or canteen
Every time you stand down, I pop out yelling “and… scene!” 
Make a million paper cranes, blindfolded
Both arms stuck in different crane games 
Underwater, over coals, whole of his spirit above him 
Call now, I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

Aesop Rock - Cat Food

FTR:
I made this track with a certain rhythmic swing in mind to subtly break your neck. Simple, mysterious, and lazy with somewhat of a strait forward Hip Hop vibe. The background lead i added was inspired by 70’s crime films. I remember Opio staying up all night in the forest shed studio to record the vocals this. The finished song felt like an honest representation of everything that could go on in your head while you’re vibing out in the middle of nowhere by yourself.

Opio:
I recorded Stoned Temple Pilot up at the cabin in Russian River late at night all by myself. The beat is dark dirty and dusty and it matched my surroundings perfectly. I was out there without any media stimulation, no cell phone service and spotty wifi at best which left me with nothing but my imagination. Lyrically,this song is quite visual, when you hear it you can almost see what I’m saying. like to paint pictures with words and I feel like this is a great example of that.

Lyrics:
Unsigned hype, front line aeronauts flurry, zero dark thirty, zero friends, minotaur-fugly stepchild, evoke lunch jumped over plunging necklines, up, beside tongue-tied hungry enzymes, devolved into mothmen munching textiles, punisher, out past go-time, back 10 fried worms chubbier, brown grass both sides, canned food, manmade tools, Lanacane, band-aids, mandrake root, bindle on a broom stick, pancaked shoes and handshake-proof campaign, can’t lose, can’t gain, smoke out moles like a force of nature, pray fortune return to his favor, swiftly, maybe in the form of a nest egg, maybe in the form of a tesla death ray, or a solid gold scene with something better to celebrate than powder on your face like a flat foot on jelly day, m-m-moral compass all batshit, spinning in the shadows of immoral magnets, are we supporting the artist or enabling the addict, I mean, I guess it matters to me, I wish it mattered to you, how a thousand virtues, kick the same bucket like chinatown turtles

Roving packs of elusive young, become choke-lore writers over boosted drums, in the terrifying face of a future tongue, Down from a huntable surplus to one

(check his own) Breakneck pulse over colors in a drain that emote sugar skulls in the rain, flower-eyes melting, guided by a levy made of bath tiles tilting, quarter up and headed for the kill screen, no corner cut, no build team, only a particularly menacing, angle perpendicular to everything, boys room cherry bomb, boy/goon very much runnin’ with the devil in the mellotron, hello, here’s where a tale of caution, pounds coffin nails to bootlegs of Hawkwind, saw tooth, nevermind straw to gold, spin hearts on sleeves into heads on poles, arm in the maw, fish out pith like a business card from a jar at the mall, A-alike androids dreaming of carbon applause get stuffed with cartoon cigars, cold pack, neti-pot, home to roost, around folk backed into what they most lampoon, shook to the fevered brow and broke ankles, daisy, declawed pound, no thank you, fade me, failed all basic training but I spent a couple groundhogs days with a changeling, silouhette the god last cigarette, anything less would be re-god-damn-diculous

Aesop Rock - Drums on the Wheel

You've got the devil in your eyes
You went and took me by surprise
Say what you wanna say I won't go back
If you wanna hit the road then let's go then
Let's just go and see the world and just show them
What it really means to live life golden
Yeah we're golden, baby girl we're golden
They about to see us shine 'cause we're golden
They can never break us down 'cause we're golden
They about to see us glow 'cause we're golden
Yeah we're golden, baby girl we're golden
They about to see us shine 'cause we're golden
They can never break us down 'cause we're golden
They about to see us glow 'cause we're golden
