Late One Night
[Verse 1: Eso]
Yo, yo, yo
Straight from the shed with a shovel in my hand
My bible's a rifle, you gotta understand
That the streets need a weapon
And out here, the sheep need a shepherd
So as long as I'm here you won't witness evil
I'mma rhyme to a sky full of Christmas beetles where
Mind power cracks the code
My welcome mat to a happy home
Rattling bones and a broken compass
Watch me use those bones as drumsticks
Bam-Bam it's bedrock baby
Ringing the alarm that we set off daily
Gone with the wind when I'm out the sunroof
I sleep on the gas in a money pair of gumboots
In the back is my lucky dingo
And he attacks like a punch from Kimbo
Slice, dice, scratch my lyrics
Yeah see my DJ, yeah that's my lizard
Still there when the ship is sinking
'Cuz we're the kings of wishful thinking
In the house that lays in my head
And if sun was money there were days that I've spent
With my face to the fence
Speechless, until I made you my friend
That's when your mates came by
Said "listen to this" and you did
With headphones on in a zone unknown
Now I'm glad you know where I live (right here)
Together we stand, divided we fall
To play this game, keep your eyes on the ball
Live for the minute
Die for the culture
And see through the dark when the violet is ultra
[Hook]
Smoke don't rise, fuel don't burn
Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come around
Scratching at my door
But I cut my hands and break my back
Dragging this bag of stones
'Til they bury me down beneath the ground
With dust and rattling
[Verse 2: Bliss]
I just daydream
From the front seat of a Hum-vee
Press eject and bungee to Jumanji
The place where the rhinos rumble
Spread far like the hydro hustle
In the jungle fall with chainsaws
Sell faith to walk through maze walls
Free thinkers, free talkers
Waltz on water like sea walkers
Rise up, levitate like this
'Til time's up, celebrate life's gifts
Paint pop culture like Warhol
With the words that I churn from my portal
An electric lightning bolt sky
Dive inside my kaleidoscope eyes
The vision is a sight to see
There shouldn't be a place on Earth where life is cheap
Space pirate, cat with golden wings
Raise your sail, catch your solar wind
I just write away, have a story
Cats cook in their hideaway laboratories
Let it simmer, bubbling slow
Beers in the bin, bud in the bowl
Never pursuing piles of paper
My office desktop is DOS invaders
My band spans the high and low frequencies
Love life in its idiosyncrasies
Simply called a rap with friends
Another artistic awesome accident
This is for you, I stand in the rain
With a vista view to champion change
Until it's late and my canvas is stained
When the paint's sprayed and the canister's drained
[Hook]
Smoke don't rise, fuel don't burn
Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come around
Scratching at my door
But I cut my hands and break my back
Dragging this bag of stones
'Til they bury me down beneath the ground
With dust and rattling
