Shovel Lyrics - Aesop Rock

I don't shrug instead of the ramifications of my shovel 

Lovin the consequences of uprooting the jungle 

I'm huggin the cyclo Gemini stooped contenders from viewin the puzzle 

I don't budge the motives encased inside the gauntlets hung in quotas X2 

My kitchen sink leaks like your itching to speak a secret 

'bout the world spins yet nobody's pledged allegiance and why? 

His beaming smile knew a private agony that burns 

And when the children met divinity I sat to watch the merge 

It goes pandemonium live 

Ya'll mutha fuckers stand up volunteer tantrums while your playin summin vivid 

Play your sympathy card till the misery clash 

And a basket case is in a classless matrix with elastic stitches

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

Raggin a bag of lonely poem remnants 

Short of breath like you're short of fresh 

You're a portable mess 

Carpetbagger spearheading tear peddeling pretentious art critics, orphans 

Trying to dismiss those pioneering their fortunes 

You're a spectacle 

Pushin for pedagogue lacin up paper weights walkin on stilts talking 

You touched the hand of God and I'm like 

What are all these evils that plagued the hearts of man by sweet talking border patrol until they fold and let them in 

You got your life in a basket before you could say instant classic 

Like the king of the mountain requires a boost 

I'll bury the hook in my belly just to volunteer at live aid clinics 

For the thrill of 9 great mimics with 18 bloody lips, spittin 

Beanstalk, chalking outlines before the figures fly 

Walking uphill trying to get down 

Prominent ghost town litigate battle pitch darkness when the light switch hits the *artistry* circuit board breaker 

Service in the greater half of nature 

See money go wild shook when the exploitation incubated lovely 

Warmingly *piggy leader* colony to comfort 

Numb enough to deny the sin pins and evil needles even punctured 

Till he wont define his turn and can still function

I don't shrug instead of the ramifications of my shovel 

Lovin the consequences of uprooting the jungle 

I'm huggin the cyclo Gemini stooped contenders from viewin the puzzle 

I don't budge the motives encased inside the gauntlets hung in quotas X2 

Burn burn em mostly 

Stuck unplucking plumage out the poultry 

Soaking in bulk on a sofa with duct tape upholstery 

Dirty doc stellar space medic 

Stoned by the commoners for glowing 

Pseudo-floaters bottom feed 'til bloated 

Happy trail hitchhikers guide to spanning oblivion 

Complete with a thankless 9-5 chapter 

You can sign your life after the facts 

Wicked soldiers pick it with buddy system logistic motors like Noah's ark ticket holders, pivot 

All in a days breath 

I guess 

Sandman here to foreshadow a day when televisions run over baboon heart transplants 

Sketching a glass partially empty 'til their hand cramps 

With a iceman's dance if that ain't streamlined and stand with a fan's lamp 

But maybe I do 

Yeah yeah maybe it's all over, maybe I won the game before the machine ate my quarter 

I mean absorbing attention's a must 

You don't wanna be overlooked 

Yeah but you don't wanna be looked over too much 

One up for the dashed hopes of fifty fishermen who crashed boats 

and the angels who never hit a bad note when harmonizing 

I'm an armor plated farmer 

I'm an archer rising with a drawn bow for the karma where the bulls eye clings and argues 

Dense, spreads like new names at the writers bench 

Either you drink it or sink it, cause ain't no sitting on the fence 

You make me chuckle child, it's hells kitchen now, miss 

Recognize your life is merely bait for bigger fish 

I don't shrug instead of the ramifications of my shovel 

Lovin the consequences of uprooting the jungle 

I'm huggin the cyclo Gemini stooped contenders from viewin the puzzle 

I don't budge the motives encased inside the gauntlets hung in quotas X4 

Encased inside the gauntlets hung in quotas X2
