Fly Me To The Moon

You tell me "I love you more than the moon!"
And I tell you that I'll be home soon.
Through monsoons and bassoons
Past Neptunes and fretful goons
I'm telling you that I'll be 89 still trying to make you swoon
Here comes the bride and groom! Vroom, vroom
From the hotel to the Taco Bell
We sound well. Take a trip with me but we never fell
Fall off and jump out, what now?
Body got me yelling onomatopoeia: bladdow!
We're watching Rachel Maddow and how come
We never leave the bedroom? I haven't seen the sun
No clouds, no crowds, your heart pound and I assume
That cardio without the stereo can make Mario
feeling super over all. Just carry me through
All the tough calls and good shots, the clocks stop
My friends tell me "You got soft" and I said life dropped it's guard
and it ain't hard anymore. Open the door,
Honey, I'm home, and we're up until 4 in the morn
Doing what? Doing what?
It don't matter as long as you're up, yeah you're up
We can cuddle in the fort and that's enough,

That's enough, that's enough
That's enough, that's enough, girl
Fly me to the moon and back
And a matter of fact I know that I love you

Desperation and patience never go hand and hand
But I gotta hand it to you and face it, I'm like goddamn
and when I'm driving on the side of the curve of your lip
I'm gonna slip and crash and in fact
The swerve of your hips is making me wanna go fast
But slow me down, slow me down
Chop and screw me up and screw you down now
Oh wow, gotta keep some of my cards
But the chips are high and I'm gonna raise you hard
and if you're all in then so am I
and if I lose then you can just blindfold my eyes
We're the ocean, you're a wave, we are tidal
What is our title? Hold on, it will be a while
Check in for towels, I know you like my vowels
And Os for that matter
Cut the chatter
Turn the lights off
or on so we can see when we ignite bombs
Are we gone?
We're breathing and reading and believing in
chemistry and poetry we are just so calm because word is bond
Never just a couple of kids, never seen a hustle like this
All of this talking, all of this chatting, look at how we are batting
For a thousand and for the thousandth time we are fumbling
and coming together to make some magic and the passion
that we imagine makes a thundering applause so we react and
Take a bow and now a bow
you know that I quiver for you: I am your arrow

Guillotine

[Chorus]
Breaking necks
Breaking necks
so far that their heads fall instead
Breaking necks
Breaking necks
that you don't mess with our rep
Breaking necks
Breaking necks
your head spins 360 degrees
Breaking necks
breaking necks
call this shit the guillotine

[Verse 1]
Alas, the wunderkind of the under thin
Thunderin' lightning rhyming blunder sin
Snapback snaps backs: bend over!
More dangerous than playing Red Rover
Bolder or bogus. Dog you need to focus
I'm the best part of the morning like my man Folger's
Black button up and I'm shutting you down
Get astound at the professional status noun
making sounds like my heart and soul were found
rearranged, deranged in it's range to kaplow
Blowing up good, blowing up well
Water everywhere, tunnel lead straight to hell
Got there and everyone else bowed
The devil himself gave me his crown
said "You are way too hot, can you teach me how?"
Calm yourself and sit right now. I say wow!

Melodious, felonious
I go deli meat and they're all the baloney-iest
Phoniest phone in and phone in
their performances while I soak in
the moment and get distilled cause I'm potent
But notice the spotlight on this
cold kissed and hot shit
kid writing in his molskine
yes you know I really did wrote this

[Chorus]
Breaking necks
Breaking necks
so far that their heads fall instead
Breaking necks
Breaking necks
that you don't mess with our rep
Breaking necks
Breaking necks
your head spins 360 degrees
Breaking necks
breaking necks
call this shit the guillotine

[Verse 2]
Mischievous, suspicious with hands in the cookie jar
Look afar, look here, I read books for bars
Keep your guard up! I'm down with this movement
Cued like poolsticks, record is ruthless
Even if I'm boothless, Clark Kent/Superman
Turn up the knob from Alex Dang to Alex Super Damn!
Engineering, curing, and veering in all directions
Magnetic north compass home is my intention
Take the protection and shatter it dangerous
Is there any wonder why my last name has the same four letters? It's
fantastic, powerful, and very weak looking
Gig booking, high-fat cooking
Frying everything in bacon grease and steeze hooking
One of a kind.
No need for coffee. I'm on my grind
Espresso yourself is how I find peace of mind

Applause, applause, I hear it all the time
Either for my style of my divinity of rhyme
Of course, you shouldn't force the way I lift
I give direction to Atlas. Could anyone match this?

The reviews are in and the survey says
Elect this man to be our very next pres
Campaign and I'm so vain, get inside the Dang Brain
Bred differently: going against the grain

[Chorus]
Breaking necks
Breaking necks
so far that their heads fall instead
Breaking necks
Breaking necks
that you don't mess with our rep
Breaking necks
Breaking necks
your head spins 360 degrees
Breaking necks
breaking necks
call this shit the guillotine

1

Dollar bill, dollar bill, dollar bill
What my ancestors spoke about so many years ago
Dollar bill, dollar bill, dollar bill,
Throw the money on the flow and c'mon let's go
Because you don't even know
Drop gold bars on 16s
and let the self esteem grow
into something more solid
and polished like frozen snow
no, there isn't a chain that hang
low but know there is a supposed
meaning within the prose that goes
with the crows and the ravens and
the rest of those birds.
So let's get back to the regular measures
breaking down verses into smaller pleasures
so
I don't follow anything really any more
He's using that pound cake as a metaphor
He's letting it shine man, let him snore
We sleeping on this giant man, less is more!
From rupies, to rubles,
from mansions to two doors,
success is defined by the shit you own,
I'm still regal but frugal
Hear the bugles and trumpets
call out my name
It's a damn shame people can't switch lanes
Stuck in the fast with the foot on the gas
hoping that they can eventually pass
the guy in front who's doing the same so we're all last
first things first
I burst with immense thirst and hunger
I cannot be fed or quenched
so continue with the intense verse and thunder
Until this dude is dead or worse
Stuck in a 9-5
only just tryna thrive
We forget to survive
These passions keep me so live
so wide
such pride
I can't just spit an audience aside
my entire life is directed at you
Writing feelings that aren't necessarily true
Saying that I'm cold when I'm barely blue
Let the frame hang messily too
If the shoe fits than we mess with it too
C'mon man, stop nonsense steam of conscious
and just do something cool!
Alright.
I'll do that.
I'll start spitting real facts about deep rap
Until this almanac is all finished and the business
is how we can turn lies into a marketable platform
so damn storm: I'm being tempered
and rendered so this September
I'm entering a flow mode so prosperous
and monstrous that you'll understand
the dichotomy between Prospero and Caliban.
Damn that's properly being laid down
in a realer state than property. Probably.
