Aesop Rock - Alchemy Lyrics






[Blueprint]
I spit with an immense amount of power
Skull flame showers, cowards, cower, underneath our
Storm clouds that indicate the acid rain hours
Now or, never, ever, ending on a bad note
Ripping ya' craft spoke, for spitting a bad quote
(Blueprint what's your approach?)
I smash black folk and white folk alike for jokes with mics
And make a Kodak moment out of the most boring open mic
I'll make a sad fan appreciate rap again
Fuck around and forget just how wack it's been
I'm a bad man (Why's that?)
I catch bullets in my molars, body slam boas
And take flight with the weight of the world on my shoulders
And blame David Blaine on any chains that hold us
What started out as food for thought, turned into thoughts to turn they
crews into food in hopes to satisfy my
Insatiable appetite to dine on lifeforms
Small planets and satellites
You solar system is my condiment
I'm bombin' comets, and don't sweat the small things and nonsense
Every dog has his day and even more so in rhyming
So I decided that I'd never play the fire hydren
Or grab the mic sounding lazy, worn down and tired
Cats don't really fall off they just get uninspired
But before you, get a reason to ever diss us
I'll drop a ill LP and disappear like Bobby Fischer
But this is, the building block of all that is
And what it is, is Alchemy

[Aesop Rock - Chorus]
Alchemy, basic with a touch of wild wonder
Alchemy, we made this to take your style under
Metal frame, walking through a, metal game with a limp, tight grip
Determined not to let time slip
This is Alchemy, iron b-boy and all his glory
Alchemy, hold it from the colder sob story
Metal frame, walking through a, metal game with a limp, tight grip
Determined not to let time slip

[Aesop Rock]
Ah, dirty, dirty destiny
Birded murders with a burn gurshin a peasantry
Nervous flux flirtin' with hurley burly chemistry
Graffiti burner urchin merchant with a certain urge jerkin' served and centerpiece
My zig-zag bully balance gallops with a fiery outline
Ban and bomb y'all pastel poets belly up (I'll tell you what)
Born stylin' 4 dimensions count em'
Breed it take it to em' up,[?] run to build a world you'll never touch
And I'm a pilot, delerium, serum, poison arrangement
?Aroused? when I feel like storming suck the raw enslavement
With a grin-style stinger creeping out the basement
Impatient wild ritualistic visions of sacrificial bitch hatin'
For all my iron giant soldiers with a metal fist upshielding mother nature
from her fatal wrist cuts story I'll respect you
(So why they blaming you for the cats that sleep while the earth turns?)
Yeah I had em' up all night praying I'd re-release Music For Earthworms
Greed even are lease screaming with milestone like ring ring ring I just
caught the screen fiending click dial tone
Welcome to a clouds swell blew to hallucination war pillar
Carnivore, carnival, karma slasher
I dash like a jack rabbit that orbits revelation with a single pounce
To Edward Scissorhands your spring of doubts (Yo turn it out)
This is that mighty case of home field advantage to bend your blizzard With
a crocodile smile and fight robot knuckles to your kisser

[Chorus]
This is Alchemy, basic with a touch of wild wonder
Alchemy, we made this to take your style under
Metal frame, walking through a, metal game with a limp, tight grip
Determined not to let time slip
This is Alchemy, iron b-boy and all his glory
Alchemy, hold it from the colder sob story
Metal frame, walking through a, metal game with a limp, tight grip
Determined not to let time slip

  10. S.... M....

    He makes me appreciate just how wack rap and hiphop has been. One of the shittiest genres of music.

    S.... M....

    I agree that most rap is pretty bad today, but there's some good rap out there such as this gem.

    S.... M....

    nevertheless

    S.... M....

    yeah lol its the most abused genre in the industry, the most overdone and overproduced, the most sexist, racist, homophobic, materialistic genre out there, but it started out as an art form for people whose environments held no room for outlet, a way to say things that need to be said and shit, and reppin great peeps before you, and bein a person and shit, and ill drum beats, music to smoke weed to

    S.... M....

    Most abused genre?

  11. J.... M....

  17. n.... ....

    The song this is sampled from is The Tokyo Blues by Horace Silver

    n.... ....

    nicholas72611 thank you

    n.... ....

    @Max Fritze No problem. Horace Silver is great I recommend his music a lot.

  18. S.... ....

    when the bass kicks in on this track, HOOOOOLLYYY FUUUUUUCK.
     Some Scary Shit

    S.... ....

    When does it kick In?

  19. A.... ....

    I always forget the Daylight EP in Aesop Rock discography but when i remember I bust my nuts. There were so many gems; Nickel Plated Pockets, Day and Night Light,Bracketbasher, Maintenance and One of Four.

    A.... ....

    Ohhhh fuck man I know.. I let a friend borrow my cd and he lost it, and you know how cds sound so much better in your car vs aux cords? Needless to say I gotta buy this again. So worth it!

  20. D.... P....

    Shit talk extraordinaire

  21. Z.... ....

    Spark slang showers

  22. N.... S....

    I miss going to see Blueprint every Monday for hip-hop night at Elbo's!!! I love love love Aesop Rock!!!!

  23. o.... ....

    Hey, I agree. No problem with having different opinions, there are even some aesop verses im not too fond of

  24. m.... ....

    sounds something like ** slang showers. Could be talk, stalk

  25. L.... ....

    What does he say after "i spit with an immense amount of power"? The lyrics change on each Google result. There's "stalk slang showers", "talk slang showers", and "skull flame showers", which sounds nothing like what he says.

  26. M.... A....

    Ergh, this beat is heavy

  27. g.... g....

    whats the jazz song this song is sampled from?!?!?! ive been looking for YEARS and cant fucking find it. luckily heard the entire song on the radio one day, but missed the title and track artist. PLEASE IF SOMEONE KNOWS, REPLY!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH

    g.... g....

    lol I know I'm a few years late but I found it in about 7 seconds http://www.whosampled.com/sample/123410/Aesop-Rock-Blueprint-Alchemy-James-Brown-Say-It-Loud,-I'm-Black-and-I'm-Proud/

  28. k.... ....

    People shouldn't get mad, thats why we have opinions.

    k.... ....

  29. S.... S....

    Gets me pumped every time i skate :D

  30. A.... ....

    This track is still hot as hell. Real underappreciated b-side

  31. f.... ....

    why's that?

  32. F.... A....

    i know im going to be hounded by his fans, but i dont really like Blueprints verse, i listened to the lyrics a few times and the flow and it was (in my opinion) under par.

  33. 1.... ....

    Indeed he did.

  34. c.... ....

    the mighty casey has struck out. right?

  35. C.... t....

    or jazz i ment

  36. C.... t....

    no the point of the beat is blues

  37. c.... m....

    Aesop Rock went Hella Morbid in this Track

  38. S.... M....

    I vomit comets

  39. A.... K....

    yeahh the snare could be louder

  40. C.... B....

    Holy motherfuck this song is better than any of the shit out on the radio.

  41. 1.... ....

    The Mighty Casey is also from a poem by Ernest Thayer from 1888! :D Really cool how much history and literature that's incorporated into just a few lines of Aesop's Songs. He's insane!

  42. A.... H....

    disappear
    like bobby fisher!

  43. t.... b....

    buckets of penis in and around my mouth.

  44. t.... b....

    Hey guys. Just wanted to announce that I like penis in and around my mouth.

  45. D.... ....

    unfortunatly i would have to agree with you he kills it in this track

  46. a.... ....

    Actually in this track blueprint outshines aesop IMO.

    a.... ....

    am0e agreed and I love both former orphanage members equally

    a.... ....

    ehhhhh .... not sure bout that .... 2:53 - 3:15 .. I'd go back and listen again

    a.... ....

    they both kill the track and beat blueprint kicks your ass on the planet and aesop launches you off and brings you into orbit to smash ya

  47. M.... ....

    So why they blaming you for the cats that sleep while the earth turns?
    I had em' up all night praying I'd re-release Music For Earthworms.

    Fingers crossed that he does.

    M.... ....

    hell yeah

  48. S.... ....

    @yomummaiswill Fuck all happened.

  49. N.... B....

    "This is that Mighty Casey homefield advantage to bend your blizzard with a crocodile smile and five robot knuckles to your kisser"

    "Aesop is referring to an episode of The Twilight Zone, called “The Mighty Casey”, which is about a robot who joins a struggling baseball team in order to pitch so fast the batters can't physically hit the ball"

  50. D.... L....

    needs more snare!

  51. i.... ....

    roll it up

  52. P.... c....

    @deformingmarionette

    I think Blueprint is good in his own right. True, it's far less complicated, but his voice sounds hungry, reminiscent of a young camu tao.. And personally i think sometimes Aesop should be more direct (overuses metaphors) and less 'overly' complicated. But maybe that's because English is not my native language. True, Aesop is a genius, but sometimes it borders on pretentious.

    P.... c....

    time management has that same feel. one or the most intense songs I've ever heard live. he wanted whatever he was after real fuckin bad.

  53. R.... T....

    holy fuck bro im trippin balls

  54. D.... ....

    @thegreengorillafull ace rock is the only rapper

  60. N.... B....

    "This is that mighty case of home field advantage to bend your blizzard With
    a crocodile smile and five robot knuckles to your kisser!"

  61. H.... ....

    @crossandcrown
    look up block head nightlight, block head has done a good amount of ace's instrums

  62. D.... P....

    One to build the world you'll never touch.

  63. S.... C....
