Late For The Sky Lyrics - Aesop Rock

[feat. Slug & Aesop Rock] 

I dream what these wings won't do 

Cause counting sheep is as easy as 1 2 

Jumping out the nest to catch some bird food 

Clutch so intense that the knuckles turn blue 

I been hooped by wise men 

Check horizons, read the flight plan 

Spread the lifespan 

Sky heights are set, it's time to climb these steps 

We only try to get free from the spider's web 

Gotta murder all the messing around 

Carry the burden of work, never setting it down 

With a spot like now, my shot, my chance 

Put a plot of land in the pockets of my pants

Break loose, raise roof when the kick drops 

They flew, straight through, no pit stops 

Lift off with your head in the clouds 

Or get lost in the rest of the crowd 

Been here for too long 

Said it's time to ride 

Got to push it on 

Cause I aim for the sky 

Times have come and gone 

Yes, it's time to ride 

Early in the morn'

[Evidence:] 

Here's a quotable [?] 

Slash rap notable 

Slash mic on the [?] still controlling you 

I'm rarely candid, my view panoramic 

My eyes wide shut, if not one, I'm holding two 

I'm packing double, getting up too early 

I'm actually trouble, kind of acting 7: 30 

Attracted to this Earth, maybe acting kinda worldly 

But running on my work that says "Ev I better hurry" 

I'd rather worry death than being pushed in the line 

Still a perfect [?], never late when I fly 

Epic [?] so this time when I rhyme 

Not an ounce of death dying, stay late to the sky 

Late for my prime, something that was shaped by design 

I been running while the others hurt from racing a line 

Making it great coincides with making it mine 

Coincides with the hate that I'm making in signs 

Let me start from the beginning, I rewind to the top 

Pitch my heart in every inning like I did with the [?] 

And it don't stop, a body in motion stays in motion 

Coasting in between the wings of this flowing 

From a chickenwire frame 

And a house of wax 

To a rocket exploding into a cloud of bats 

I been it, doing heat in a '76 Plymouth 

Sitting a [?] 

We will be closing in 5 minutes
