BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Palimpsest
- ///Verse 1 \\\
- 0:15
- Phosphorescent thoughts in the tenement, evidence of negligence
- Embedded in the sediment where presidents peddle sentiment
- Im heaven sent with seven testaments, developed measurements
- to sever reverends from their beveled settlements, irrelevant
- The medicines a metaphor, Im better for the weathering
- Shackled letters in the editors mind, forever rendering
- Surrendering was never written in my leather bound remembering
- Dismembered all the trembling, reassembled the December wind
- Sinister but minister, administered to prisoners
- Whispered through the visitors, my syllables are sinister filters
- Tilted mirrors reveal clearer what the builder built here
- Guilt fear melts near the kilns where we smelt years
- Into gold medallions, battalions of stallions stampeding
- Through the valley where Sally kept the tally of our bleeding
- Reading hieroglyphs in every brick AKA. the pyramids meaning
- Concealing while revealing that the ceilings just the seeding of something deeper
- ///Verse 2 \\\
- Navigated mazes in the pages, sages' wages wasted
- on basics, Im adjacent to the ancient, never complacent
- Pacing in the basement with the agent of displacement
- Tracing every erasure back to slaverys emplacement
- Debating with the faceless, my cadence is the oasis
- Where Moses broke the stone tablets, broke the code of the graceless
- Replaced it with a mosaic, prosaic to the tasteless
- But traces of divinity beneath the grime we chased with
- Haste in the mistaken for the taking, but Im making constellations
- From the fragments of the nations that were from the 'steez to the shaken by the Haitian
- Revolution, retribution for the institutions execution
- of the truth when they polluted every solution with confusion
- Im using circumlocution to allude to the illusion
- That inclusion brings conclusion, thats collusion with delusion
- The fusion of my diction with the friction of the system
- Produces prisms, splitting schisms into rhythms that will glisten
- ///Verse 3 \\\
- Panoramic understanding of the landing where they branded us
- The canvas vast and cancerous, demanding that we answer thus:
- "Your grandeurs just a grammar of glamor, a sleight of hand, a slander
- masquerading as a standard while the planner set the hammer up"
- But I dismantle propaganda with a stanza, salamander tongue
- Meandering through canyons where the cameras hung
- Capturing the damage done to every talented young
- Brother or another color, discovering the palettes from
- the same palette valid regardless of the ballots
- or the malice in the palace where the chalice holds the fallacy
- Realitys a gallery of calligraphy and alchemy
- Transferring pain to power, the towers not the strategy
- Its mastery of latitude, the magnitude of gratitude
- Converting servitude to certitude the attitude of Nat and 'lude/
- less revolutionaries, visionaries carrying the adversarys
- Scary truth that were necessary, legendary, february buried seeds for sanctuary
- “Wealth fades when hoarded, but words invested in minds earn interest for generations.”
