The Pantheon of Possibility

from Mystery Album​?​?​? by Sankofa

lyrics

Hit them with that old razzle dazzle the shine has faded
Muscle memory we’re cheering still for some kind of cadence
Get your cramp on the climb is Himilayan now
Lay them down upon a bed of broken glass to taste the town
The question no one asks, culture clash, let’s break it down
Pull myself snug, home at last, bathe in nature sounds
Don’t conversate with clowns, I speak my piece to closer friends
The ones who know the ledge, far from folks with codes that bled
Some overslept I do the same cause I admire sleep
Pen my thoughts inside a diary of flyer beats
I’m tied to speech but better off when I can write it first
Supply a verse when people ask me that’s the price of work
The time spent is my expenditure I budget for it
Either way it’s lost before I know that I can trust the sources
A hushed assortment of lunar phases, that prove amazement
Grandfather clocks ticking with a toxic cadence

Hearts beating to the doorstep in blue suede
AC Green is losing favorites, the crusade
I dwell within the pantheon of possibility
Sometimes I ramble on and plan a song to kill the beat

I keep afloat, bobbing in a sea where all of the beats are dope
ONEGRAVE the designated supply chain with a drum medallion
Freaking flows until the posed in recent docents decompose
Plumpest scallions the wondrous onions of this tongue battalion
I reach in rows, my lungs the source of violence
Artistry, a sordid sort of silence, when I’m carving artful archery
The pure assignment, a spine is what could fortify them
Mark the parcels deep the black box my journal entry war reprisals
No crack spots, just laps logged
imposter syndrome by far my most resourceful rival
The gods of brimstone that cackle when I’m forced to forfeit
Making monsters with a vorpal fortune, remorse the portion
Ration tickets without the rationale to bash them down
Got me playing chicken in the mirror
