Bad Karma Songtext

von Aesop Rock

These wings...
Have seen things most men would melt apart from
It's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
All my drunk destiny pushed was one radio flyer chock full of halo parts
Ringin' this crime
Like man, I could fix your broken shine
We're all saint swept serpent tide 'round charcoal tomorrow
Bunk holiday debt
Easy now brother, I'm here
I'm now, then and there, I we us them it
I'm sorry, I'm
God
This final extension's beautiful, but friend, I don't deserve it
I beg of you sweet father
Please detach my chest's swollen lining
I can't handle asymmerty
And if it means my grand finale
Don't tally the votes
Finish me dormant with
Torture machine silencer piece
Position where eyelids will reach
REM well before I'm torn
I've never asked for much
Never felt golden benefit worthy
I gots, what I gots, and what I don't gots don't concern me
I'm no model
Never aspired to be velociraptor fossil
Man, there wasn't rainment
Man, I never had a say in this
I, wanna be the normalcy, that normalcy was jealous of
No shimmer
No celestial flight midwinter
Enter me now
See through Cretin low-life iris
I'm not-I'm not ready for all this business
That for some reason you all refer to as a privilege
I mean, look at me
My feathers drag, this harp plays out of tune
I fly about as straight as a blind tugboat through my legacy
Accidentally killed cupid with his own weaponry
And man, that was my homie
Talk about not cut out for these pristine pearly robings
What could I possibly have done
You really want me to steer child populace back on beaten path
Like teach em' morals
I can't be a part of something I ain't searchin my feelings man
I'm from the dungeon
So from here on out
It's hark the herald nothing
Listen, I quit
That's it
But for the life of me
One thing has plagued my being from the get-go
Why place the most blessed and sacred honors upon an alley cat like this
I just don't get it, oh. my god, it just dawned on me
Wait a second, oh, god...
You have been a witness
You have seen the days when
I apply lies in a billion different ways
And
Now I harbor bad karma
Doomed to cope with the fact I dodged the ring but gotta show these cats the ropes
Please lead these little wings to a road
Please lead this little halo to a child with a lighter load
I'mma hold this tight like a life vest and throw it to a mic
