Someone just threw a rock through the window
Could you please hand me the note with the side of the rock?
I'll read it to you
It says, "Walk with me"
I don't go on nobody signal, I don't signal, I just go
Another rain-checked one for the road, uncrustable king
Paint-pen tucked in the coat, amen
Ghost in the cold a.m., play dead
But awake to float and say less, say when
Oh, the saints of mayhem ain't obey no tech, okay, bet
Code names get thrown around between clubhouses with secret knocks
Leap froggin' these tent fires, I'm no-face at the dream spot
With the fly hand, clean block lettering, peacock feathering
Canary-yellow, Zelda green, blueberries in heavy cream
Yes, vendetta messenger, get to the boys you b-line with
"He's autographed our street signs, plus a paw print from the Klee Kai mix"
Hydrangea Gatorade, a half a dozen Scratch-Offs
Then I'm back in black, attack, attack, it's Mac the Knife on Darryl Mac
It's black and white, with passersby upsetting every active rat
That's aptly trying to drag his Laffy Taffy through some traffic jam
That type of shit'll have the kid distracted from the offering
A city's baptism, y'all, walk with me
Where the sky is falling
And the walls are bleeding, and the wires are crossing (w-w-w-walk with me)
Where the ground is sinking
And the pipes are freezing and the night's appalling (walk with me)
I don't go on nobody signal, I don't signal, I just go (w-w-w-walk with me)
I don't go on nobody signal, I don't signal, I just go
(I've got)
Two different silvers in the utility belt
Like twin flames for the same hands from the pillory
Out in the grid of infinity smells
Hooded figure, sniffing markers, chewing ginger, missing marbles
Cookie monsters with conflicting dharmas
I'm moving contra to existing markets, in the mood to conquer
Rah-rah, sonic boom, it's my nom de plume on y'all's roof in lava
You could see it from the moon
I could even wait, heat a cup of soup
Feet up on the table, eat a couple shrooms
Eat a couple more, meet up in a few
You could be like, "Yo, I feel like such a dork"
I could push a button, see you through the floor
Night-crawlers in fine form, off flying saucers
That's not a final warning, it's a final offer for the first-time caller, last-time caller
Capsized in that phat glow from this black light
I might shortcut through Magic 5, I got more ups in the afterlife, and that's for you
Can't even rest in peace in peace
Tag the gates of heaven, so my name is still a presence at your meet and greet
Hee-hee-hee, crystal ball, he hits the wall, a hawk to meat
No vault safe, no off days, walk with me
Where the sky is falling
And the walls are bleeding, and the wires are crossing (w-w-w-walk with me)
Where the ground is sinking
And the pipes are freezing and the night's appalling (walk with me)
I don't go on nobody signal, I don't signal, I just go (w-w-w-walk with me)
I don't go on nobody signal, I don't signal, I just go (walk with me)
We don't stay close to the flame
We get ghost, weave those lanes
We don't know to obey
It's okay if you do, please don't change
We don't stay close to the flame
We get ghost, weave those lanes
We don't know to obey
It's okay if you do, please don't change
