    [Verse 1: Despot]
    Every time a bell rings an angel gets a headache
    The other shoulder's home to a devil yelling "checkmate"
    Fix it on your own with a pebble and some stretch-fate
    Patron saint of "Take away the pain at the best rates"
    Just take two of these and call me in the morning
    Match a color to your sickness quick and skim over the warnings
    Or take two more and try to dial "dead"
    Now that's one less thing to think about while getting out of bed
    Doctor said feeling bad's not reserved for the stupid
    I can't make it better but I'll see through that you sleep through it
    Broken brain, blue, scoopin' a crude capsule of nooses
    Bring us your blank stares we'll fill 'em in with abuses
    How many milligrams to kill a common cold?
    And how many more to make you forget that you're getting old?
    The best package for expending your misery in the gold
    Treasure-digging in that mammoth pile of out with the old
    In with the new miracle medicine, easier living regimen
    Knowing is half the battle, retiring forgetful veterans
    Shoulders slumped over a barrel of you'll never be upset again
    Locked and loaded, escaped, it ain't half as cloudy as heaven is
    Reveling picking a kingdom fit for you
    While the rest of them are toiling over tying their shoes
    One to your health, and another put your mind on something else
    Famous sleep deprived city finally found itself help
    [Hook: Despot]
    A few clicks of the cap to feel better
    A new trick to attract a big spender
    Come get a spot in line for a feel-good bender
    Why settle? Change your mind, limited supplies, enter
    And I hope you get well soon
    Jump on the speedy recovery boom
    Yeah I hope you get well soon
    Get on that speedy recovery boom
    [Verse 2: Despot]
    Kicked that old non-habit-forming shit
    Mr. go and stub your toe on a childproof lid
    Spoonful of sugar chasing down a reason to live
    Smooth pusher pulling pleasure out disease with a twist
    Flick of the wrist pops open the pearly gates, slow traffic
    Break the only egg you got and put fragments in seven baskets
    'Til you counting amount of colored bottles lining your jacket
    Reassurance is standing right under God's magnet
    Look it up, that's the stuff. Take an extra one for luck
    Grubby finger reaching down to pull you out of the muck
    Same hands that fashioned man scribbled frenzied 'til they blister
    Make the pad blast cures out as quick as he could script 'em
    That's all it did, just puddled with the putty of creation
    Only take a break to point at the direction where the pain went
    Great, here's another one, pummel 'em 'til the brain bends
    Name on the label and directions on the same print
    Said he couldn't see it clearly as they [?]
    Those puzzled picture pieces limp on broken jigsaw fittings
    Power struggles said it need a couple more to fix the vision
    The blunder that repeats until they spoon out of the prison
    Drugstore cowboys, blazing guns, hope burglars
    See the steam of salvation rising off of each burner
    Either feed the foul patient or survive to seem hurt-up
    Give him what he holds sacred and prescribe the beast murder

    im glad blockhead has another talented artist to work with as an outlet so his production skills are heard... he brought the best out of aesop rock. im sure he will do the same for despot. all three of them can shine on their own, but blockhead's tracks are better when aesop or despot are on them, and aesop's and despot's tracks tend to be better when working with blockhead instead of other producers... both aesop and blockhead offer a hellava discography... DROP THE ALBUM ALREADY DESPOT!!

    The enigma that is despot. question with this comment. Do you feel a freestyle has to be off the top of the head or can it come from an unreleased track or a written before the cypher. Just curious because it seems to be some strong debate over the "internets" on this topic. my answer is this as long as its real no ghost writes or stolen rhymes and its from the heart with flow I don't care.

    • @HipHopShowRoom
      @HipHopShowRoom 4 года назад
