Aesop Rock - Holy Smokes Lyrics






[{background vocals I.e. Aesop Rock} (sampled vocals I.e. NOT Aesop)]

[Intro: Various Samples]
(Give him one of these pills if he has any pain)
(A parable...What is it? Well it's a little story with a lot of truth
An earthly story with a heavenly meaning
Jesus told many parables to grown-ups and children alike
He told them simply and sincerely, in words everyone could understand
So that all might learn the lesson he was trying to teach...)
(Yeah!)

[Verse Intro: Aesop Rock]
They were selfish with the helmets on the little bus
'Till brake fluid sewage crippled up the get-retorted nickel punks
Slowly cope but swore his lowly robot vole evoke
Would one day rise in sections to interrogate the Holy Ghost
(I knew it!)

[Verse: Aesop Rock]
Holy smokes
Father, black suit white collar
Kiddie porn dungeon, guns, and three fingers for your daughter's
Caught belly-up, antique Nazi paraphernalia
You cannot pay your bills with holy water and Hail Mary luck [Oh my!]
Shucks fucker, enjoy the Alcatraz shower fun
And mommy's mad I'm cliche generation X agnostic front
It ain't the nifty fate, the 1958, before the New-New Testament-approved Altar-boy fisting rape
And "take me to your leader"
Long as he don't manipulate toddler beaver [Leave him alone!]
Call me crazy, but I bet that wasn't God's demeanor
Sodom-meter peaking [Me too!]
But Long Island was Jesus every weekend
Spoon-fed to appease traditional love bringing
Of a Middle Pennsylvania shit-hole where elders movement
Stressed the stellar therapeutic Bible cycle (How?)
One church with a bait and tackle store next door and not much MORE
So the two moved to New York, made babies raised on what they SAW
Christmas morning smelled fresher than angel pussy
But immaculate conception came second to playful goodies
Like laser-tag was way more spiritual than blood and body wafer bags
And manger staff as long as Santa ate the cookies [Well...]
Grandma was a saint, while he'd paint with snakes and bullies
Said If only you'd memorized your prayers like you did your Kool Gs
By the time I was old enough to know what religion was
I was Catholicism-numb and truly didn't give a [FUCK!]
'94: Moved out the crib and it ain't seen a steeple since
What Knievel-evil seeps in a Christian leader's pitch
'Till priests' laps slapped with parental advisory warnings
I'll be auditioning Gods in my office on Monday morning

[Chorus: Various Samples & Aesop Rock]
(Yeah!) [Scratched throughout chorus]

Uh oh! And yet another pill slipped
Down the hatch and pass 'em through the kill-switch

I need a couple A's for Q's
I'm not an asshole I'm just a little confused

[Interlude: Sampled]
(This story reminds us of the one Jesus told about people who were kind and helpful
To others. He said that one day the king would say to these people
Come. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you. For when I was hungry you gave me food
When I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me
But the people asked, when Lord did we see you hungry and feed you?
Or sick or in prison and come to you? and the king answered
In as much as you have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren
You have done it unto me)
(Yeah!)

[Chorus: Aesop Rock]
Just a little bruise in the back of the pews
Acting amused with a mask and them Vatican blues
For in the eyes of the organization I was raised in
Aes' is just another sinning brick in Hell's basement
Cubicle adjacent to the killers and rapists
For what? Drugs and fucking, It's part of growing up
Like cuffs over dumb shits is better than the schools
I'm not an asshole I'm just a little confused
Just a lit fuse in the back of the pews
Watching a thousand flavors of the same God feud
I figure ultimate-peace is the common theme
So its a no-brainer "peace" when the blood hit the screen
Got a basic good and evil sensibility born
Good neighbor know a halo wouldn't fit over horns
I'm more science than faith, I'm more karma than bread and booze
I'm not an asshole I'm just a little confused
Not an asshole I'm just a little confused
Not an asshole I'm just a little confused
Not an asshole I'm just a little confused

(You know what, Aesop, to be completely honest you're a fucking asshole)

    my dad borrowed my car, this was the first track on the cd I burned that started playing as soon as be turned it on. he got home asked "what do you think about god and religion?" That's when he learned I'd been atheist for years

    A.... E....

    Might sound strange/premature, but although I was raised in a catholic family, and went to church every sunday and stuff, when I was 12 I realized I was an atheist. I told my parents and they were pretty cool with it, even though they were a bit bewildered (they reasonably thought I was a bit too young to make that decision by myself). I'm 18 now and haven't had a second thought about it in 6 years.

    A.... E....

    @Mak Not premature at all, I realized it at 7 in second grade science class!

    A.... E....

    No one knows anything.

    A.... E....

    @Aaron Eisenberg your second grade science class was separate from regular class?

  69. W.... A....

    I'm more science than faith,
    more karma than bread and booze
    I'm not an asshole I'm just a little confused

    W.... A....

    As i started to read this in me drunken stupor it synced up perfectly with the song and now i feel pretty cool.. thanks dude

  70. E.... D....

  71. C.... ....

    so good...

    antique nazi paraphenelia wtf :D

    M.... ....

    The Vatican was silent on the Holocaust. Likely it was less approval than existential threat, but it gets brought up.

  74. D.... ....

    My favorite part of this song is the random snippets of the girl saying random things in the background. like at 0:43

    D.... ....

    I honestly think that is minnie mouse. cannot confirm though

    D.... ....

    I wish i would have commented sooner but its from this https://youtu.be/U8BWBn26bX0?t=3m12s

  75. M.... ....

    I've been trying my hardest to remember the lyrics to this so I can learn the bridge and play this masterpiece.

  76. F.... 8....

    "with the knowledge that love is just another word for revenge "

  77. m.... ....

    one of his dopest songs. also one of easier to understand.

    D.... O....

    +Darren Pinson "He told them simply and sincerely, in words everyone could understand, so that all could learn the lesson he was trying to teach"

    D.... O....

    +Sergeagle Exactly. My English teacher always told me a good writer doesn't just write in minor and subtle details that draw parallel imagery and metaphoric symbolism for nothing... and I believe same can be applied to music. This is further proof that Aesop is the Shakespeare of hip hop. If you dissect and piece he has ever done and look for hidden meanings, double meanings, or anything figurative... I'm sure you'll stumble upon another great discovery like this.

    holy shit i just got the parable sample at the beginning... Wish some of my other favorite rappers would shirk their religion and open their eyes. (looking at you, vinnie paz)

    I think we should give Boxcutter Pazzy a pass because, for one, he's only clinging to Islam to avoid the stereotype that "the majority of Italian Americans are Catholic..." And two because he's a hard ass. Lol.

    I find it amusing how Aesop fans discuss his vocabulary as a reason he's better than M.F DOOM but they rarely (if ever) bring up the rhyme density test in which DOOM is clearly miles ahead of Aesop. I will be honest, I haven't invested much time or energy in Aesop's music so for the most part it sounds like gibberish with a somewhat off-kilter flow. I'm sure he's dope if you spend enough time analysing and deciphering his lyrics but for now I just don't get the hype.

    I know I care enough to type this, but who cares if Aesop Rock is better then M.F DOOM or vice versa. I hate it when I see nothing but " 'blank' is better then 'blank'" or "Top best rappers"....Like That's all I see sometimes...and it's like, if you see it as a competition, then you got the wrong mindset.

    M.... ....

    I love both. I prefer aes but thats just because his style suits 'me' better. I dont really get the hype either but both sides are simply opinions

    M.... ....

    +Z-Scart Hip hop has always been competitive, why do you think battle rap exists? Or top 5 DOA lists exist? You may be one of those rap fans that has no interest in who the best MC on the planet is but you'd be in the minority.

    @mrchaotiq 
    "Top five rappers: 
    1. Eminme
    2. M&M
    3. Slime Shady
    4. Eminem
    5. Snoop DAWG"

    Eminem is way better than any rapper, even better than  M.F DOOM!!!!!!!!!!



    *I hate it when I see **_nothing but_** " 'blank' is better then 'blank'" or "Top best rappers"*

    M.... ....

    +Z-Scart Oh I see you're being facetious now. Eminem is good but he only needs one spot on any list. Personally I wouldn't have him in my top 5 but it's a subjective thing. If it was based accolades he'd be up there but as an MC I have him somewhere in the 6-10 category.

    Coming back to this video after 7 years is insane, knowing it was one of the first times I had ever questioned religion as a teenager and it did a damn good job.

    "Watchin a thousand flavors of the same god feud."

    So fucking good.

    M.... A....

    +bcmasur call me crazy but i bet that wasnt gods demeanor.

    M.... A....

    I always thought it was "a thousand flavors of the same god fuse".

    M.... A....

    @BiscuitHead Interesting! Ancient gods fusing into some homogeneous monster of multiculturalism is a cool concept. Also, I probably have more misheard lyrics for Aesop Rock than any other artist... Sometimes I'm not even sure he's speaking English haha.

    But I'm pretty sure those lines are highlighting the hypocritical violence of many religions. He contrasts the "feuding gods" with an alleged "peace" that doesn't seem to be there.

    But I think the best argument against it being "fuse" is he uses the word in the previous line, "just a lit fuse in the back of the pews..." Though it has the connotation of a burning fuse of a bomb about to explode, as opposed to fusing into one. By referencing a bomb in a place of worship (perhaps figuratively to refer to his patience, or faith, running out...) he sets up the next couple lines being about the contradictory violence that is a deal-breaker alone for him.

    M.... A....

    @Me Auntie Nora No, it's feud, but fuse, like you said, adds an interesting set of alternative interpretations.

    M.... A....

    you're Aussie aren't you?

    I still remember the moment 10 years ago when I was in a friend of a friend's car, and he put this EP on. I hadn't heard anything quite like it, and it sounded awesome... this song especially perked up my ears with its meaningful message and unique production. Been a fan ever since.

    M.... A....

    you are right

    M.... A....

    wtf exact same way I found him as well, back in 2006, dont remember the song but i remember it being in my friends car during a burn cruise and it made everything crazy surreal

    M.... A....

    Me Auntie Nora haha! I got introduced to Aes in 2008 my friend put on "None Shall Pass" I had to listen to it again and again all the way home. 9 years later still love every song and album. I believe Aes has changed my life, his lyrics have inspired me to look at life in a whole new perspective.

    M.... A....

    This is how all people learn of new music. It is called sharing. Funny thing is that is the same way i found out about Aesop Rock, Was in an older Seniors car "i was an incoming freshman about 2000" during a mid day blunt break , and he put on AppleSeed and my mind drifted for the next hour, just amazed that a human could paint with music.
    :)

    M.... A....

    brennan eaton that's what got me, a blunt! Hahaaa! I wanted to listen to atmosphere cuz a buddy of mine told me about rse and how good they are. So I went to lime wire to DL and found Aes along with it. It was MFEW and apple seed!! I was higher than a giraffe's ass, and I heard kill'em all. I swear when I look back on that it was one of those albert hoffman lsd bike ride kind of experiences, it really changed the course of my life. Funny how I just realized that typing this comment. Music and weed are awesome!

    This song is very good.

    am i the only one who actually can keep up with Aes and his crazy ass frantic rhythm?

    @***** You also might like the mediocre music I upload to my channel if you checked it out.

    w.... ....

    @***** Thanks man, tell me what you think of it, theres only really mediocre demos up right now that I'm not really that happy with but I'm working on a lot of it and should have way better stuff out soon.

    w.... ....

    @***** Yeah you're spot on with your points, I'm completely aware of the problems with my uploads and like I said I'm not really happy with them anyway, just some demo like stuff to start out with while I work on it and build myself up, but I have a lot planned and have been working on improving it all and it'd be cool if you could subscribe and keep up with videos, soon they should be way better and I think you'd start to like them more as I upload.

    w.... ....

    @***** Yeah and the feedback definitely means a lot, I've been constantly working on a lot of things which is why my uploads slowed down but I should have new stuff up soon, mad thanks for the support and feedback, I'll be sure to post something soon.

    @Luc A what the fuck are you saying? if that is your depiction of the lyrics, you need to find the lyrics online and read them while you listen carefully.
