Venn Diagram of Dialect

from Mystery Album​?​?​? by Sankofa

/

lyrics

Relief indeed is being conscious of my halted menace
And stepping softly as I please yet unapologetic
A robbery of steez, nah, I’m not a gifted mimic
My wife and sons can vouch for that, see that bit is missing
Knowing myself well enough to know what I can’t do
The Venn diagram of dialect that my hands drew
Dry erase board with the humor to match
Drier than the marker that is missing its cap
In the middle of a desert where the sun is ablaze
And the sand is hot enough to melt and punishment waits
Their reaction vids are nothing but a stunning disdain
If not a cardio shot of posses simply running away
Coming to paint with a wondrous array, brushes engaged
Just another linguist as cunning berate
On the blazing track you know it’s simply One to the Grave
So berate the flak or better yet go the way of duck’s backs
Kevlar embedded feathers shedding hits and rust cracks
Brett Farve endeavors for a legend bleed the poor dry
Timex watch stays ticking on the sore grind
When you’re a Jet, you’re a creep and it shows
But there goes another shrine as obedience grows
I’m Indiana without the Wranglers or aw shucks
Or the marital discord, toes down saw bucks
In other words it’s ten, Bo Derek volumes
Bump it to Isiah Thomas CBA, gestalt looms
Vin Baker’s dozen couple short with the faith and loving
Vindicated with the goodbirger favorite was it?
Pay the puppetmaster but parade the puppet razor rubbish
Ramone standing the Hall, toothpick staying rugged
Scott free got away once the beat was kilt
Notebook stashed in the sporran (spore-N), form an evil thrill
Sean Connery’s in the house, word to RhymeWise
30 7 like Bernard King plus a slime guy
But sub the former mayor for maybe a Kenny Anderson
Bobby Cremins with the Georgia Tech-tonic plan to win
launch a song put the eggs in one basket
watch them pray to NASA
Breadcrumb trails, likely never make it back a
gain
Anfernee plus Nike for the Hardaway a half a cent
Paper watches horror movies, it’s attack of the pen
10, think of what had happened to them
Snacking on some brie while I’m steady rapping again
And I’ll never be the same as what I was back when
But that then built the now that I am it’s a blend
Examining the camera lens, narrative bends
I was and am still learning, not embarrassed at them
Predating social media so no comparison then
I’m not here to parade skeletons from Paris for rent
Sometimes making raps from barracks with the arrogance meant
Because it covers how I feel when the carriage is sent
And I don’t want to take the journey quite yet, but I guess
That when my time is up, I don’t have really have a say in it
This is all I game I play and I’m playing sick
So pyrex them all 3.14s and drum corps
And rat the tat the general mathematics of it once more
Funk that’s from the sewer so manuever with it, plunge forth
…The same air as what you breathe is what my lungs store
But maybe I am finding ways use it differently
Not selling you an answer like I found a huge epiphany
If dudes with dues are missing me, so be I’ll just stick to being me
Things I could’ve done the same as them, no need to be
