BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Self
- [0:07 0:30]
- I'm Quillington,
- grabbing a pen before I jettison
- into delirious fantasies composing mysterious me,
- but I don't see kaliedescopes while dropping acid;
- Sgt. Pepper said lies to appease.
- I see nothing but truth:
- four years an English major just to be a wannabe player
- who'll say a string of vomit and later pretend it's a sonnet.
- I'm curious, since Eminem chainsawed through the door,
- are us little white boy rappers not frowned upon anymore?
- [0:38 1:04]
- Quickly, stop, time for a mood swap, why so serious?
- This purple dope's raw, put it under the microscope
- and find some verbal swagger within the beat's slope.
- Then drop out, fuck it, be a minimum wager,
- feel victorious at a truck stop iHop,
- posing as an employee who'll do nothing but flatter
- while secretly servin' em venom like an insidious Mad Hatter.
- Get the world back, 'cause all that matters
- is making a splash before the splatter into a grave.
- [1:09 1:38]
- Flame's dying out, I feel the words slip beyond
- the chemical bonds in my brain's span.
- I wanna write dreamscapes like Neil Gaiman. I'm not a rapper,
- so I'll escape through quill and ink into a dapper new shape;
- end the ramble, drift off up a sedated smokestack
- and come back reincarnated as Daniel.
- But truthfully, I'll just cut these words in half like a jaded Burroughs,
- throw the rambling prose into a hat with faded logos,
- rattle it just so, let it go,
- and watch the broken sentences tumble out into gibberish.
