Scorpio.. oliolioli-ohhh

Man, I just wanted to say that [clears throat]

Scorpio.. olioliolio-ohhh

yo

Hella fresh, welcome home, this is home plate stage

Murder breath, one eye, solo step, bring it

El-product, in the duct, snuggle in, tight fight

This is, what, something to define me baby

Runnin man, run quick, scissor sticks, spray out

Look into semantics man look into them closely

Most host parasite eve of the title fight

Someone took a dive tonight Follow where the money goes

Sick as this, money makes love, thug, cardiac

Money black heart thump make me punch faces

Pervert kings stood behind the curtain for the blade stick

So much in a blood bath numbers dullard thought

I control no one Radio controls debt

Major Tom up creek Callin ground control

A bitch is slave whore port control weak weaponry

Fix the grave floor board above dead enemies

Leaflet family branches get mad at lung compartments

Sorry to leave this past my direction had been ignored

Oxy phones with ceaseless animatronics pager buttons rusted in

the on position triggered metal detectors at the door

This is for the single maternal figures beaten to the floor

And crawled back for the children and stood up for more

And watched those same kids as adults

got bullshit vinyl kites callin women whores

Joust with junkies flounce boots with Velcro flunkies

How cute, how to shoot more records

Off the record, I took the needle off your record

You spit that feeble plea tell shit that you're hungry

I replied that I didn't find it funky

Enough mechanisms tackle bigger hungers

Without vents on Billy Crystal some moments

I'm open for that exorcism strictly by the prime numbers

To redesign your Small Wonder

Pisces one Scorpio alert of destruct

Constellation funk (constellation funk)

The same light over your head just passed

Alert of destruct (alert of destruct)

Yeah

Your revolution is young with a strange fragrance

Vacuum sealed piety working for corporations

Life is complicated I know activists

That poor their heart out to an audience

That's completely fucking complacent

God forbid we're catch back stage being human

Public image limited to the purity of your movement

That was quite confusin

I know white rappers who claim they're more artistic

and advanced than the inner city tune is

Now you're fucked up and can't move units

Cause you know nothing in a culture that created hip-hop music

Stuck in an authenticity contest with a bunch

of cats that grew up in the exact same way that you did (Now where do you fit?)

I'm talkin centipede that shit that slides on its dirty ab pack

dirty def fretless bass pipe don't believe the hype

Don't act fugazi, don't tell me the rules

I'm the ruler and I'm motherfucking crazy

+ ??? ??? ?? + essential cannibal reduce a man to his

Touch down like diagonal afterburners

Collectin a loveless infant

And you wonder why such attacto radical rounding animal

Sounding selection's competitive with your mission

We steep with veteran sense in our refinement

We see the beauty in chaos and misdirection

We love a brutal and passionate human lusting

We pet our women with tongues in our anal crevice

See I'm a man for what it's worth, an idea, love it

My family grew up without manhood in its structure

And we were stronger for that fact I do believe so

We held our own against some fuckin evil people

And now I'm grown and I still can't protect my sister

But I know she has her mother's strength within her

And maybe I can tap that strength and burn with greatness

EXPOSE THESE ALCOHOLIC STEPFATHERS AND RAPISTS!

The doors close, you lose in my eyes world live

I suppose you can melt now scorpio

Melt away scorpio

Down your hole, down your hole... down your hole..

Pisces one scorpio alert of destruct

Constellation funk (constellation funk)

The same light over your head just passed

Alert of destruct (alert of destruct)

Pisces one scorpio alert of destruct

Constellation funk (constellation funk)

The same light over your head just passed

Alert of destruct (alert of destruct)

Scorpio scor.. pi.... o

[scratches]

I swear to God and all that is holy I will STRIKE YOU DOWN!

Scorpio...
