Poisoned Chalice

Who's the fairest in the land?
The most apparent of the men to want to take a stand against the tyranny of humanity and impurity of our forefathers
By all means, I'm not a bother
But I want you to see through a different lens
Make the spirit cleanse
Burn incense
Is this spoken word even making any sense?
I mean in a sense, there's innocence
But honestly, that's happenstance, let's cut the mess and just begin
Deprived of it, but don't you think for seconds that I'm impotent
Impermanence's the push that makes you want to go and jump a bridge
Or maybe throw a fit, from the poison: take a sip, I mean
I think we're doomed, to the guys, don't jump the broom
What did Cole say? Some rappers can't get breathing room until they catch a couple bullets, lay to rest down in a tomb
Can that outcome be outdone so I can live to be a groom?
I see why people are infatuated with saloons
Getting all drunk, with the funk, then go home to their wives and take a dive at her and now she's pissed off
She's ticked off
On her side of things, she's ripped off
I guess the drunken deserved it, he ain't perfect, he's kicked out, wow
Every incentive, with everything to his betterment, don't be mad that she left him, I guess he should be a clementine
A knockoff orange, a knockoff man, harboring these mixed emotions, I guess he don't have a spine, fine

Yeah
Don't sip the chalice
