Call + Form (Picture) - Milo

I rode in on a Ruby Yacht, that’s the Ark of Bones

Rode in on a Ruby Yacht, that’s the Ark of Bones

Rode in on a… Um…

In the Palace of the Peacock, eating the kingdom of God

You were too busy talkin when that snake said «love is choosing»

That missus is very cordial, those kisses are territorial

It’s October so I’m reading Nabokov again

I mark the book with an olive-colored pen

In that nest of complex questions and unapologizing brutalities

Freedom is its own kind of salary

Even the people who made me are constant in unraveling

The disappointment when you learn the trophy was a photograph

Remember that?

They say this is the last happiness, and they blink

I refuse to learn their names (and they blink)

You shouldn’t be next to me with that finicky energy

You shouldn’t be next to me with that finicky energy

You shouldn’t be next to me with that finicky energy

You shouldn’t be next to me

And the cowards with their knocking fucking knees

They can’t even keep a quarter beat

I know there’s packet loss and latencies (I know what lag is…)

Nonetheless… (I know what lag is…)

It’s the unimpressed alchemist, I pity who doubting this

In your city with a double-breasted falcon-crested

Chest platemail tunic, in this society of spectacle

It’s the shoe bomber who’s waltzing through

It’s a kind of hopelessness, a loneliness

A color I only ever heard played by a nigga named Thelonious

I spend experience points on knowledge, cunning, and stealth

Spit a diaphanous gossamer and then he signed it in calligraphy

Sincerely, just another blasphemous philosopher

Quick question (quick question):

Why’s your favorite rapper always bragging 'bout her business acumen?

Like we asked em?

Like we asked em?

Why’s your favorite rapper always babbling about his brand again?

Like we asked him?

Like we asked him?

This the last call for those real emcees, you know

This the last call for those real emcees, I said

This the last call for those real emcees

Your voice is needed (Your voice is needed)

This the last call (What?)

This the last call (What?)

I rode in on a Ruby Yacht, next to Ark of…

Hmm… Bones

Peace to DJ Nobody

Peace to the Ruby Yacht

Hmm… What they say?

They said, Godspeed with that black ennui

Guess I’ll keep rapping til they toetag me

They said, Godspeed with that black ennui

Guess I’ll keep rapping til they toetag me

They said, Godspeed with that black ennui

Guess I’ll keep rapping til they toetag me

They said, Godspeed you black emperor

They said, Godspeed you black emperor
