Black Thought
Rapid Eye Movement
[Intro]
Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh

[Hook: Pharoahe Monch]
It's not Latin or white or black music
It's that cooked up coke, c-crack music
Black Thought and Pharoahe, the rap duet
It's that lucid rapid eye

[Verse 1: Pharoahe Monch]
My think tank's like a piranha tank, think, multiple bites figure
Mega, reality, tera, giga
Grand Theft Auto, modern day Mickey and Mallory
Small, but I'm sick enough to walk into an art gallery
And piss on a Picasso, crack statues
Rub my balls on a Banksy shit on it and throw it at you
So when the beat intensifies
I become emotionally desensitized
Like, once I slapped a rapper with mace
Then I spit acid in his face, after he rinsed his eyes, no wait
I actually grew five times my size
Grabbed Ma$e by the thigh and slapped a rapper with him
Now that's practicing sacrilegious activism
Attack is for battle and practical rap with wisdom
Actually, it's pragmatic capitalism
For actors that crack under pressure and collapse when I get 'em
Monch is medicinal man-made medical marijuana
With a phase plasma rifle like I'm searchin' for Sarah Conner
And shorty's got brains, shorty not playin'
From 40 blocks, I'm a killer with 40-watt range
With an arrangement of bullets that I've arranged
Encrypted in scriptures specific individual names
That shall remain anonymous
Me and the ammunition's in a relationship that's monogamous
It's like I'm married to the silencer
Until I file for divorce and release my ex-calibers
Do art with your arteries, place that for my adversaries
Push your snapback cap back, cap your capillaries like
[Hook: Pharaohe Monch]
It's not Latin or white or black music
It's that cooked up coke, c-crack music
Black Thought and Pharoahe, the rap duet
It's that lucid rapid eye move

[Verse 2: Pharoahe Monch]
Vocally twice as magnifying as ever hearing Chewbacca scream
Through a megaphone with the significance of Dr. King
Philanthropic, cause I'm trying to see
Man united without referencing UK soccer teams
My philosophy prophecy
The opposite of Mephistopheles' eye inside an isosceles
Sent to Earth to warn of environmental atrocities
And nobody can copy me, stop! It's not possible
But probable that it's only philosophical mockery, strange
Change copper to gold, switch properties, bang!
Stay on top of the globe, flip monopolies, aim
Take stock in the soul, spit properly

[Verse 3: Black Thought]
Take stock in the soul, spit properly
That extended clip on my hip sits awkwardly
I'm diabolical, follicle triggers that I cock and squeeze
Sending shots to ancient Greece to pop Socrates
I bear arms like button-downs without the sleeves
Manic depressive and possessive like apostrophes
My psychiatrist waive the doctor fees
When I wave the pistol and say listen, quit watchin' me so I can breathe
National Association for the Advancement
Of drugs for performance enhancement
And it's tough taking so many chances
But I've been a bad seed from the womb, they call me ovary cancer
And I got an ugly heart, although I'm totally handsome
And I take the love of your life and hold her for ransom
And my tactical cam that never stood for any national anthems
What's hood? I am the actual answer
And I'll prove it, black attire, rapid fire, rapid eye movement
I'm from a species that is higher, I am not human
Extraterrestrial alien, a monster
Killer of conscience, chillin' in a barrel of lobster
Ex-slave, sadomasochist, that gave the massa my ass to kiss
A dyin' breed, I'm the last of this
Black is as miraculous as Jesus of Nazareth
When I vocalize, the crowd rise like Lazarus
It's the Rhode Scholar, my coat collar piss off PETA
Your hoes holla, he's on top of the bars, meet a
Mr. Globe Trotter in my Adidas, pure cheetah
Hoppin' out of this exotic European 4 seater
Hollerin' cheeba cheeba like I'm Parkside
Killin' is the dark side, villain, I'm God, I'm Godzilla
Sometimes I'm Bob Dylan, put blood on these tracks, for real
So, God-willin' you'll feel what I'm spillin'
Yeah, I never quit, I'm still syndicatin' up
Me and Pharoahe Monch did it for the benefit of us
This is straight razor behavior, I never get enough
Get the picture, my militia gettin' ignorant as fuck
[Interlude]
Yeah, it's suicide murder
Straight from the underground through the fiber optics
Pharoahe, Black Thought, complete the cypher
The movement outlandish

[Hook: Pharoahe Monch]
It's not Latin or white or black music
It's that cooked up coke, c-crack music
Black Thought and Pharoahe, the rap duet
It's that lucid rapid eye movement
