Negative Space of Time

0:21

I leave the space around the words to do the heaviest lift

The empty bar can hit as hard as any line I gift

I cut the diamond down to nothing but the angle where it splits

Less becomes the loudest thing the second that it commits

 

I speak in parallax two truths existing side by side

Fuck a nigga takin' breaks tell 'em modify they stride

The mountain isnt punishment if you already decide

The climbs the only conversation youve never denied

Ask the boulder how it feels to fall, and it replied

better held by gravity than lifted up by outside

Call me the eclipse makin' rooms reconsider light

Partial or total, either way your squinting at your sight

Icarus panicked at the wax I wouldve trusted height

I build the bar like cantilever half of it just floating air

Structural but weightless, engineered to not compare

Four walls hold a ceiling up I dont need a single square

Balance was never about the ground, its how much tension you can bear

Gaudi shit, bent the right line till the building learned to swear

Allegiance to the curve instead of straight lines thats the blueprint that I share

Prime numbers only answer to themselves, I move the same

Splittin' credits, wont let quiet take the blame

Fake prophets chasing profits and headlines, forgets the unmarked frame

Around the ones who died precise and never needed fame

Occams razor folded in my pocket like a blade I rarely aim

Simplest bar that ends the argument, thatss the only game

 

I leave the space around the words to do the heaviest lift

The empty bar can hit as hard as any line I gift

I cut the diamond down to nothing but the angle where it splits

Less becomes the loudest thing the second that it commits

 

 

I fence with metaphor, parry, riposte, then encore

Niggas try to swing haymakers, im just economical with force

Kubrick centers every frame and so do I, down to the core

Symmetry aint decoration here, its a warning at the door

Nothing in the shots forgotten, nothing left there on the floor

Unless the floors the subject then its centered like before

Etymologys forensics every words a crime I solve

Oh nice, just meant foolish once in latin watch how language can dissolve

Into something almost opposite the root that it evolved

I tailor every bar bespoke, the whole verse is where the seam extends

Every stitch calculated so the silhouette never offends

Daedalus built the labyrinth, then built the wings as amends

I build the trap and the exit into the same set of ends

Call it architecture of escape, the kind that never pretends

The maze was ever about being lost its about who transcends

Whats the crowdin'? Dont need crowd to count the makes I already know the form

That free throw routine repeated so the pressure feels like norm

Steph shit, dont aim at the rim, aim at the same spot every time

Repetition dressed up as a miracle, thats the actual crime

 

Entropy says the room decays whether I clean it or not

So I choose exactly which disorder gets to carry weight

Every artist is just managing the noise theyve got

The silence in between the notes decides the songs real state

Miles Davis proved the rest between the notes could be the flex

Id rather leave you wanting than give you all of it whats next

Is space youll fill in yourself, and however you complete it

Thats the only proof I need that you were listening repeat it

 

I leave the space around the words to do the heaviest lift

The empty bar can hit as hard as any line I gift

I cut the diamond down to nothing but the angle where it splits

Less becomes the loudest thing the second that it commits
