The apostles open the door
Jesters with big noses and the drop…
Knows artillery like the cops…
Those peace officers…
Sometimes, appear like the top foes
Elementary dots — connect four, better watch rows
Don’t want to be Jamar — cause’ each letter botch pros
WB — Holding it down — trendsetter Scotch goes
O’s hiding inside Cheetos
Free those Fritos
Poignant, pointed Doritos
Dog house...
Scoop Snoopy anointed Tostitos
MK uppercuts appointed Toasty oh’s…
There were supposed to be woes?
Single and happy as can be…
Prism is the only ism, but let’s see
Married my passion
Spiritual workout — Ab-Soul
Gift of gab toll — not looking to cash in
Longterm Mentality
Generational wealth, fuck a salary
Repeat after me…
Every bar burns a calorie
In the face of danger, valor — he…
Framed life inside a musical gallery
Creator of Individual Psychology?
That would be Alfred Adler
See?

First verse, always seeking to top those
Officers off duty — they still cop clothes
What’s the 4-1-1? Probably 9 before 1–1
Begging 7 as we implore 1–1
Needing a place to convene since…
Convenience
Always remains open 24/7
Affix 2 1’s and copy more 11
Payments from the franchise
Bills and coins fit every hand size
How are we at war if no one in the band dies?
WWIII publishing Final Bout by the Bandai’s
Most unfamiliar with cognitive restructuring
Once familiar…
What prerogative does the structure bring?
Entertainment…
We seek it like a conspiracy theorist seeking a secret society…
Like an addict — pledge repeating sobriety
Like eating out, trust the process
Maybe, like grocery stores, do you trust the processed?
Tasked by a Tesla, so lighting up Edison
Too direct…
Based on the alternating current, they won’t let us in
Type to turn a giant like Lao-Tzu — Chiaotzu
Sparring at the Napa Valley
Explosions….
You know we survived without you?

Doing what they said, they were about to
Priesthood, thoughts occurred…
I’m thinking about two…
Steered from their herd and told religion
Rather live without you
Once upon a time…
I was seeking an easy route too
Enlightenment…
Chasing tail as truth re-routes you
Stopped — ego dropped
Saw me as nothing…
Uncategorized past stuffing
Relinquished memory…
Selfish or selfless like them or he…?
Eyes closed, and still letter see
PC Windows until 1–800-Hansons
Leprosy
Thoughts became desensitized
Plan A failed, but Arby’s fries…
Hands are tied
See, Wendy’s shake
Overflowing thoughts until bent knees break
