Nomento lyrics

Aesop Rock


[Sample]
When the stars begin to shine
The wind is flowing through my mind
When the stars begin to shine
The wind is flowing through my mind

[Verse 1: Billy Woods]
Goosedown in the ghost town
Push the Peugeot around
Back-in angle parking front the Polo Grounds
Willie Mays plaque, same haze from way back
Dominican frankincense, sandalwood, burnt cinnamon
She not around no mo
You wonder where she go
You wonder who she know
You wish she was a ho
Your true self show, the rest superimposed
All these misery lights remind me I’m home
Cruising slow, stopped, copped mofongo to go
Stereo Diamonds on that Wood, Pocket Fulla Stones
You wonder if she alone
You can’t hit her phone
Pride too strong, turn the loud on
Wonder if she really gone
Like gone, gone
C’mon you know she gone, that’s a phantom arm
Opera catwalk snicker, Rambo knife in my mouth n*gga
Best seats in the house
[Chorus]
Is it real? Is it really?
Is it real? Is it really really?
Is it real? Is it really? is it really really?
Is it real? Is it really? is it really really?
Is it real? Is it really? is it really really?

[Verse 2: Elucid]
Pact sealed with cemetery silence
This is me, you, and this room and bearing witness
This is not my body
However you move, I'm behind
Any decision you commit to
There's no windows in this waiting room
Nobody should have to leave here alone
So many different stories
A common thread
We're all on the final chapter
Small talk with strangers, awkward laughter
Lowering my eyes
I'm not sure how to really feel, if I was being real
c*cktail of relief and guilt got my stomach in knots
Watching the clock, second hand stopped
Why the f*ck is there a TV here playing
Rob Schneider movies on loop
Hunger pang, I fast in solidarity
The air is stale
Color drab
Death surrounds us all with a familiar squeeze
We come in need, making offerings
The prayers go up and the blessing come running down red
The prayers go up and the blessing come running down red
[Outro: Gil Scot-Heron (Sample) ]
"See, my office used to be right down here, on the corner of 9th and W. When I'd tell people I was at 9th and W, they'd say 'Maaaan, ain't that a rough neighborhood?' I'd say, 'Yeah it is pretty rough. But it ain't as rough as 11th and W. And it ain't even as rough as 16th and Pennsylvania. I feel the people that's got to live over there, they really in trouble.'
Ah, everybody gets a look at the White House when they come to Washington DC, but this is a part of what goes on in front of the White House that very few people ever get a chance to take a look at. Across the street, they're demonstrating for world peace. Over here, you have different signs and everything, sentenced to the star of our B movie, asking him about justice and freedom and equality. You know, the protests that are launched in this country are not launched necessarily against the government. They're launched in terms of the fact that this country has rarely lived up to its advance publicity. This is supposed to be the land of justice, liberty, and equality, and that's what everybody over here is looking for."
