    Lyrics:
    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 chime like, "Man, I could fix your broken shine
    We're all Saints swept serpentine 'round charcoal tomorrow
    Bunk holiday damned. Easy now, brother, I'm here ...
    I'm here, I'm now, then and there. I'm, 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 polar lining
    I can't handle asymmetry
    And if it means my grand finale don't tally the votes
    Finish me, dormant, with torture-machine silencer-piece
    Positioned where eyelids will reach R.E.M. well before I'm torn
    I've never asked for much (Never) never felt golden-benefit worthy
    I gots what I gots and what I don't gots don't concern me
    I'm no model, I never aspired to be Velociraptor fossil
    Man, there wasn't no arrangement
    Man, I never had a say in this
    I wanna be the normalcy that normalcy was jealous of
    No shimmer, no celestial flight mid-winter
    Enter me now
    See through Cretin low-life iris
    (Uh, I, I'm, I'm not, I'm not ready) I'm not ready for all this business that for some reason you all refer to as a privilege
    Uh, 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
    I 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?
    Oh god, like teachin morals!
    I can't be a part of something I ain't soaking my feet in, 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 these 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...
    [2x]
    You have been a witness
    You have seen the days when
    I applied 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
    Bad karma
    Please leave these little wings to erode
    Please leave this little halo to a child with a lighter load
    I'mma hold this tight like a life lesson told through a mic
    [End]
    This video is not and never for monetary gain. Only for spreading the great words of this genius for free.

    "I gots what I gots and what I don't gots don't concern me"
    Had this line stuck in my head randomly, haven't heard this song in years.

    This is off the compilation concept album Angels and Insects from 02 prob by Blockhead. Great compilation if you haven’t hear it you should dig it up on UA-cam. I copped it from Cryptic One of Atoms Fam at my first scribble jam. Damn this brings me back to being at the airport heading home after having the best experiences in my life. RIP Scribble Jam & festivals balancing all 4 elements. Good times

      Thanks for sharing this. I've genuinely been trying to figure out why the video is occasionally taken down or replaced and why you can't find this song on Spotify. That's a pretty interesting story though.

    Found this on a obscure compilation album called Angels and Insects when I was perusing through a booth before the very first Paid Dues show way back when. One of my favorites from Aesop, especially that era. Just brutal truth and open honesty.

    One of the greatest songs ever written, i ssy that with extreme discrimination. Aesop is a Lyricsl God, and were privileged to experience his Orpheus-like enrapturing.

    the most schizophrenic Aesop has sounded on record, no flow just a string of prose.
