Unbelievable Shenanigans (Feat. Hanni El Khatib)
Aesop Rock
4:17I ain't even got a single duck in a row But when I push off of the dock, fish jump in the boat I'm a guff-givin' tuffy in odyssey-fire country Where miserables are quick to pull the Crocodile Dundee I'm comfortable in sneakers and a plain white tee When I give two cents, send a pale rider each I like shave ice on a blanket by the sea And seein' both riders engagin' as wild geese Parachute pants on a paranoid mass I'm probably the source of the Polaroid flash Office walls that overdose on broken math and Post-It Notes Plans to build a time machine, photos of Watteau at home Holy Roman artifacts, a piece of wood from Noah's boat Shrapnel from the Mars attack, code to Homer's mobile phone Impossible ticket stubs Membership at all these fancy cricket clubs, listen I ain't even got a single duck in a row But when I push off of the dock, fish jump in the boat, nah mean? I ain't even got a single place to be But when I walk down the block, strays trail in a V, nah mean? Great horned owl in acrylic on the drumhead Lamb's ear growin' by the side door, what next? Occupy every inch of the opera twice at the same Without a pill or wires, right to the brain They want his name by the X, I use an X for the name It's like I'm basically dead, strangers sendin' bouquets I'm alert and oriented, just protective of the method Of producin' fresh fruits and vegetables in the desert Good news blow through town like bad news Left with all the bad dawgs and Himalayan yak chews That guy's on a strange path But he also had pizzazz and a few amazin' tracksuits True, rats run back to NIMH I got the wind at my back, I got a cache of your film I plan to film the expanse, I pan to catch every hill I practice radical acceptance, never crack in the kiln, I'm sayin' I ain't even got a single duck in a row But when I push off of the dock, fish jump in the boat, nah mean? I ain't even make a single sound when I move But when I make it down the mountain, wolves howl at the moon, nah mean? Slime mold, never do as I'm told E-I-E-I-O, deep dive into the fried slide show Sorry, I don't corner cut, I'm more than just a line of code So are you, but you prefer illusion of the cut and dry Where I prefer the side effect of several billion butterflies, in chorus It keep a tourist long lens filmin' whatever in the forest had the dawg's head tiltin' I'm a simple man, man the pinhole cam Scan the info in, skin the sycophant Short story, once I shook the RZA's hand Played it cool, but coulda yelled, "I'm goin' to Disneyland" Plan for whimsy, it's certainly rainin' upwards An advantage for the raised to raid the cupboards of others Take it up with the buzzards, I'm buzzin' off to the haunt If you listen, you can still hear me guffaw with the gong, yo I ain't even got a single duck in a row But when I push off of the dock, fish jump in the boat, nah mean? I ain't even got a single horse in the race But when I go to get the car, there's a horse in the way, nah mean?
