[Blueprint]

I spit with an immense amount of power

Skull flame showers, cowards, cower, underneath our

Storm clouds that indicate the acid rain hours

Now or, never, ever, ending on a bad note

Ripping ya' craft spoke, for spitting a bad quote

(Blueprint what's your approach?)

I smash black folk and white folk alike for jokes with mics

And make a Kodak moment out of the most boring open mic

I'll make a sad fan appreciate rap again

Fuck around and forget just how wack it's been

I'm a bad man (Why's that?)

I catch bullets in my molars, body slam boas

And take flight with the weight of the world on my shoulders

And blame David Blaine on any chains that hold us

What started out as food for thought, turned into thoughts to turn they

crews into food in hopes to satisfy my

Insatiable appetite to dine on lifeforms

Small planets and satellites

You solar system is my condiment

I'm bombin' comets, and don't sweat the small things and nonsense

Every dog has his day and even more so in rhyming

So I decided that I'd never play the fire hydren

Or grab the mic sounding lazy, worn down and tired

Cats don't really fall off they just get uninspired

But before you, get a reason to ever diss us

I'll drop a ill LP and disappear like Bobby Fischer

But this is, the building block of all that is

And what it is, is Alchemy

[Aesop Rock] (Chorus)

Alchemy, basic with a touch of wild wonder

Alchemy, we made this to take your style under

Metal frame, walking through a, metal game with a limp, tight grip

Determined not to let time slip

This is Alchemy, iron b-boy and all his glory

Alchemy, hold it from the colder sob story

Metal frame, walking through a, metal game with a limp, tight grip

Determined not to let time slip

[Aesop Rock]

Ah, dirty, dirty destiny

Birded murders with a burn gurshin a peasantry

Nervous flux flirtin' with hurley burly chemistry

Graffiti burner urchin merchant with a certain urge jerkin' served and centerpiece

My zig-zag bully balance gallops with a fiery outline

Ban and bomb y'all pastel poets belly up (I'll tell you what)

Born stylin' 4 dimensions count em'

3 to take to ya muck one to build a world you'll never touch

And I'm a pilot, delerium, serum, poison arrangement

?Aroused? when I feel like storming suck the raw enslavement

With a grin-style stinger creeping out the basement

Impatient wild ritualistic visions of sacrificial bitch cadence

For all my iron giant soldiers with a metal fist upshielding mother nature

from her fatal wrist cuts story I'll respect you

(So why they blaming you for the cats that sleep while the earth turns?)

Yeah I had em' up all night praying I'd re-release Music For Earthworms

Greed even are lease screaming with milestone like ring ring ring I just

caught the scream phoenix click dial tone

Welcome to a clouds swell blew to hallucination war pillar

Carnivore, carnival, karma slasher

I dash like a jack rabbit that orbits revelation with a single pounce

To Edward Scissorhands your string of doubts (Yo turn it out)

This is that mighty case of home field advantage to bend your blizzard With

a crocodile smile and five robot knuckles to your kisser

(Chorus)

This is Alchemy, basic with a touch of wild wonder

Alchemy, we made this to take your style under

Metal frame, walking through a, metal game with a limp, tight grip

Determined not to let time slip

This is Alchemy, iron b-boy and all his glory

Alchemy, hold it from the colder sob story

Metal frame, walking through a, metal game with a limp, tight grip

Determined not to let time slip
