hour glass

(album: pond scum ~ b sides - 2023)

Yo

My sword style is unlike anything that you've ever seen
I scratch the match and let it splash up in the gasoline
I'm flowing like to water, rushing from a natural spring
I slice your favorite rapper up, and I was never seen
A silent whisper in the dark, you thought I was the breeze
A glowing cigarello cherry floating between the trees
And fireflies illuminate to fill the grass around me
But when I get the mic, a fiery blaze always surround me
I'm flowing cold as frozen Himalayan mountain peaks
I'll bite ya' like a giant tortoise climbing out the creek
Up out the dirt, my rhymes seeding the earth
Flowers bloom with every verse
Lil' Guts is going Berserk, yo
I scoped an opening in your defense and you outta luck
I seen my chance and I pierced your guts with a final thrust
You left your opening thread exposed, brodie, now you fucked
My style is wavy B, my flow could turn your mic to rust

Yo, I keep my head down and walk the path
I watch the stars all collapse lying on the grass
I think about my life and all the shit that come to pass
Uh, I'm nothing but sand in an hour glass
Yuh, I keep my head down and walk the path
I watch the stars all collapse lying on the grass
I think about my life and all the shit that come to pass
Yo, you nothing but sand in an hour glass

Yuh, yo, tears turn to glass and for a moment time is frozen
You find me doing Tai Chi where the stars meet with the ocean
Yo, I'm Kagetoki introducing' you to the Hand of God
Coming at you swinging swords with force no mortal man could stop
Starry skylines, autumn leaves in the moonlight
Show you how to best an opponent in less than two strikes
I'll leave your best man sinking beneath the quicksand
Sword across my back with some Backwoods in my sweatpants
I stop to think between the trees, it put my mind at peace
Pull on the weed and sink my feet beneath the flowing creek
I get to flowing and throwing thoughts and emotions
From mountaintops to the oceans, they know that Lil' O the coldest, yo
I swung the steel and broke your guard and now you getting slashed
We toe to toe, I'm 10 and 0, lil' bro, your style is trash
I walk the road, I'm blowing smoke, y'all know I blazed the path
My style is fire B, my flow could turn your mic to ash

Yo, I keep my head down and walk the path
I watch the stars all collapse lying on the grass
I think about my life and all the shit that come to pass
Uh, I'm nothing but sand in an hour glass
Yuh, I keep my head down and walk the path
I watch the stars all collapse lying on the grass
I think about my life and all the shit that come to pass
Yo, you nothing but sand in an hour glass
