Jupiter

from ESAE by Grip Grand

lyrics

Have you ever seen a man fly?
I don't mean jump off a cliff and die, I mean really soar
And the day you say "I don't know"
Then you have the answer
And that's what the question is really for
I told 'em I was up lifting my pen all night
Trying to get all right with a higher cause
But it costs high to live nowadays
So the kids say "My hero is a gun" like Diana Ross
But I'm trying to find a right path
Maybe something like that
Really don't exist in this day and time
Keep it rollin' like a bike path
Wonder where my life's at
Am I gonna miss when I say a rhyme?
Really, anything you might ask
I already typed that, sent it upstairs to the CEO
So tired of bein' typecast
Put me in a bag, and they carry me around like C3PO
I told 'em "I am not a puppet"
But the higher-ups get upset
When you try to be yourself
Hip-hop's gonna eat itself
Only 'cuz it had to turn to a cannibal now
To feed itself
And one day the real world will reveal itself
All praise to the most high due in haiku
I wrote down tha paragraph
Broke down the very last
Barrier to true understanding like the mind do
Millions of times every second, I remind you
Life's only short when you measure in years
'Cuz the heart-broken man can't wait for the day to end
You live forever when it's measured in tears
It's not magic, it's math shit
Like when I put my hand on the keyboard
And, onscreen, a letter appears
The whole world is a dice game,
Physics and odds,
A mirage in the distance that never appears
Damn
Have you ever seen a man cry
Out in the night 'cuz he can't get right with the universe?
Life tried to write you a verse
But it flew south
So you threw it all out for a newer verse
I assume the worst, hope for the best
And I play my cards close to the vest, or I lose a turn
Never knew my words spoke to the rest 'til it's too late
"Don't rub it in like it's lubriderm"
I'm not too concerned
The world's gon' end any day
Might as well break it down, like, do the worm
I take it back to the start
Like the stars and the sun
Freak the Captain Sky drum beat from "Super Sperm"
Once again, from the top to the drop
IN the bottom of the well
Is it Hell?
Ask Lucifer
God knows where the green grass grows
But the man throwing lightning bolts?
That's Jupiter
That's Jupiter...

The world's gon' end any day
Might as well break it down, like, do the worm
I take it back to the start
Like the stars and the sun
Freak the Captain Sky drum beat from "Super Sperm"
Is it Hell? Ask Lucifer,
Zeus-slash-Jupiter,
Pick a god, any god,
It's all one
Grip Grand pray for the future of the whole human race
In a tape, then escape when the song's done...
