Текст песни Tale of a Griot (illogic) с переводом

Time is but a position on a circular piece of mechanic architecture

It’s running out So grab your pen and pad so I can start to lecture

Have you read the chapters assigned? Made for you to expand your mind

Refined a voice of fine wine, Collected from a bleeding vine

Overflowing with, All-knowing gifts

Designed to stretch imagination

I have in me the ignition key

Gentlemen start your patience

Guarding patrons of the sidewalk junkies

Eradicate immediately, Those who haven’t faced their fate expediently

A demon in me

Tries to escape through written pages

Rippin' stages to shreds bringin' base to heads

Unlockin cages with thread

Now that’s a task with a difficulty rating of

Five

Expectin myself to survive

Has always been in the purpose of my rhyme

I’ve always wanted to be Considered one of the dopest in my field

And it’ll happen, If we’re not rappin

I’ll focus when I build

A lot of kids In the industry already fell off

They just don’t know it yet

So until they get the gall to face reality They won’t know regret

I have no regrets, That on the track of life I kept steppin

Coverin up the pain From the lessons I could only learn from Gretchen

Thinkin green, Thinking up scenes of life to wallow in

Hopin' I’m dope enough My footsteps someone will want to follow in

I swallow in depth, Chewable artists That wanted to spark this match

Stop heatin me, Before my eggs of thought start to hatch

A heart attack is commin, Smarter raps are runnin rampant

And you, catchin them Is like havin a table with no legs and tryin to stand it

Your defense was down, So just I walked in

Yet your still talk-ing, You need to live

For you I’ve given all that I can give

Take this rib and be merry

Be a woman if you wanna Cause your actin feminine

Dissin' society that your blendin in. x2

To be perfectly honest would be impossible because I’m human

Only half-truths and partial realities can leap from my tongue

The saliva soaked chunk of flesh that I posses is the key to life rumors

Divine state which activates the piercing poison of its venom Exists in all who

breathe

Those waitin' to exhale might suffocate

The un-life's in a bag Just take a bite And gag on your fate

That’s why I wait for news to break

So I grab the screwdrivers and vice-grips

So you get the picture, I can plant 35 millimeters in each eye-lid

And every, blink is a snap shot

For secession I hide under that rock

Life’s an investment

If you invest in bad stock Shouldn’t be shocked when it drops

But it seems, Sense isn’t common anymore, Only few hold it

Others don’t think, They just gotta deliver next tech Before they load it

And spit blanks Thinking they spittin shells

I’m mendin' heaven and rippin' hell

In life’s scenes, I’m chasin' dreams While ya’ll chase your tails

I’ll tell a vision, With improvision, Improvisin', Intro time Accelerate

What you half baked, Go fishin in Thought’s Lake

I thought, Faith was in the Christian

But I see faith is in the man With no legs

Claimin' to stand steadfast and straight up on god’s land

I saw the plans For your mansion in paradise

You already got your cake Started to eat it too And can’t even share a slice?

I said it twice, and I’ll, say it a third

I’m better with words

Twist and bend fractions, Make brain curves, And blend actions

With reality backdrops, With camouflage slap-shots

Stop props from actin, Like you know yourself

Shed the noteless flesh your borne

To disguise your imperfections

Replicate thoughts that hibernate

To hatch in all perceptions

What you hear is what you percieve

Take it in stride and continue to be

As a sheet of loose leaf in a hurricane: Free. X2

Unfortunately life isn’t equipped with white out and correctional tape

Instead it come with lies to hide truth, tryin' to correct fate

Let your mind inhale And intake lakes of thought project-tile

And if you wanna talk ish, At least perfect bowl

Movements and motions

As I build with the pen

I’m tryin to stagnate destiny And simultaneously rush adrenaline

Since existence is ambiguous you may take what you can And leave what you will

In other words Take a stand and leave what you killed

And if its an old self then become new, Become you, Become truth

Personify dicodemy and become two

Come on, play your part Cause time’s a stage And life’s the play

Theres no need to lock the cage now Since the beast already escaped

So grab the tranquilizers

Hunt it down and get it tame

Then according to them, You need to find a style and get a name

That’s the only way to success According to big brother and company

To surpass that I’m expectin' Alien entities to come for me

To relieve stress I reflect how my heart rests In the hands of an African angel

Pain

Strangled in five days in a week From misery Deliver me

Find purpose Cause a man with out purpose is worthless

Next time, Try to keep an open mind When common sense freely disperses

Concentrate

My voice inoculates You wait for the serum

Purified venom spit, When you emit oxymoronic symptoms

You are what you’ve become When you blend with righteousness

While writtin' this the crosshair is one your consciousness

It’s up to you if I hit or miss

I use the canvas of time

To paint lifelines

And create masterpieces

So while the brick layer rests

I continue to build on my thesis

They say perfection is only achieved in death

And my words must not exist

I exist and I am words

So I must be verbally flawless. x2

Shed the noteless flesh your borne

To disguise your imperfections

Replicate thoughts that hibernate

To hatch in all perceptions

What you hear is what you percieve

Take it in stride and continue to be

As a sheet of loose leaf in a hurricane

Your defense was down

So just I walked in

Yet your still talk-ing

You need to live

For you I’ve given

All that I can give

Take this rib and be merry

Be a woman if you wanna

Cause your actin feminine

Dissin' society that your blendin in
