about

Lead off line/song title inspired by a conversation I was having with Zilla Rocca about the Sixers

lyrics

you weren't there with Ben Simmons when he's shooting in the gym
A disembodied phone zooming to the rim
nothing but net, no sign of Petrovic
ready and set
putting plenty to bed with weighted blankets
many have slept
The vanquished faded from the canvas
A stunning gamble that rarely pays
Loss leader losing liters in these scary days
A new demeanor, frugal earner seeking where he prays
The square amazed at the repercussions, the reaper gushing
Admiration from an artery to paint the marvel deep
of sleep the cousin
Hansel in the pizza oven
Shout to P-Ro who keeps it coming
Relentless fences who the greener grass is sold through
Hit up Saigon and find my favorite bowl of soup
Control the mood without stimulant, begin again
No depressant needed blessed peace, with my spinning pen
And then the din is zen

Assassins catch a conscience, then beg forgiveness later
The path of rapture launches hatchets with the wicked labor
A grip of neighbors watch and never suspect
Quill dipping in the poison, and the feather is left
Time is slipping through our fingers, do we treasure it yet?
Pay attention when the light is like a special effect
Lazy susan spinning spices the variety life
I learned early calling shots either fight or be wise
The molotov, smallest violin to cry a binge
And knowledge sought when the flyer twin is climbing in
A crying hymn with the frayed ribbon deeper red
Next to Zilla’s uncle’s initials believe the thread
Spill so pungent and vicious, punch a bunch of holes in walls
Keep myself company within the coldest squalls
I told them all and every single one was only me
Holding conversations rubber room and so we leave
So dope indeed
