They Come in Gold - Shabazz Palaces

Vanity, I love you for myself

Me and always you and always never no one else

Sanity, a visage of my wealth

Lost but always found before the idols that I’ve knelt

Strategy, the only way to cry

Keep it do or die, and always think in terms of «I»

Reverie, some legends future’s past

Revelry instead for it renders hella fast

Capital, a sound that’s on the rise

It’s slaking unrealized until essence has been razed

Sepulcher, a stage enlived by ghosts

Floating off with bags of the blood-encrusted dough?, for simple it is him

It’s black and feeling pedalistic catastrophic hymn

Darkness, the light that flashed the dead

Keep them stellar layers, to which my kind is the heirs?, the jesters game of

vice

The cries incorporates slaying door and heist

I just walked around and walked around

They just watching down, they watching down

What they talking about, they talking about

Don’t you copin' out, don’t copin' out

From a cold clod cut in a deep zone

A sunken ship with the ghost on

They put my seat in there, upon a plaza

Under the chair hot, tucked in a dope spot

So the chrome tire screech every time we hit

We converse in ancient languages

If you come to see us this is what you get

Specialist, equipped for the long trip

And my jacket fits and I’m packing it

So miraculous, kinda statuesque

Legends carry like a killer’s nerves

One picture worth a thousand swerves

Facts stated to enhance what is pre-born

With the white whale on the Pequod

And finds a way fast when the road curve

It’s a sea saw, shall I go, shall I go

Look at me fall, did I know, did I know

On a gilded wing, driving filthy rings

Go back, go back, this your go back

Yeah you say cool, but it’s an old act

Shall we raise a drink?

What the fuck you think?

The home where angels sing

And my favorite color brown with pink taint

I believe to own is he, I’mma hold the chrome, a tight grip

They might trip, boy, 'cause the way I talk shit get it joy

Them just walking around, them walking around

They just watching down, they watching down

What they talking about, they talking about

Ain’t no copping out, no copping out
