lyrics

[Chorus - Ghettosocks]

-I poured a glass of something that I can't pronounce/ While dangling a thread on the bed so the cat would pounce/
- She unraveled a bag containing half an ounce/
- Hit tare on the scale and then she tapped it out/

[Verse 1]

-clicked the playlist: Brian Eno streamed/ The
tiles in the bathroom: quiet sea foam green/
-she told me you can try and hide from Elohim/ but if you die then your eyes won't arise from that dream/
-I understood it later/ in a hooded breaker/ over
looking Vegas/ -blowing smoke: the hue a bluish vapour/ Drifting up caressed the sunset/
-I pressed the shovel in the soil til it crunched wet/
-an hour later out the shower hit the elevator/
-Feeling parts of my neck that seemed to miss the razor/ -Undercovers stepped across the lobby floor/ while
I avoided em like: "this ain't the droid your looking for"/
-I left the building and slipped in anonymity/ the
World was none the wiser to the guise of my facsimile/ -Rest assured I left em in my wake without a clue/ and Hit the liquor store with thoughts of trying something new/

[Chorus]

-I poured a glass of something that I can't pronounce/ While dangling a thread on the bed so the cat would pounce/
- She unraveled a bag containing half an ounce/
- Hit tare on the scale and then she tapped it out/

[Verse 2]

-shadows of doubt- no doubt they stay mistaken/
I cease my dreams and lie awake in unfamiliar places/ -Smellin coffee brewing plus whatever else she's makin/ -Peekin through the blinds reminded this is no vacation/
- juniper from Jupiter in the mixed drinks/
-Her slender silver tennis bracelet came with six links/ -and just to think a week ago we were extinct/ -Endangered species and Nefertiti in fresh ink
-Lost in translation moments float featherless/ With elicit substances stashed on the premises/ Eventually we would eviscerate the evidence/ Particularly packages of powder as a precedent/
-I'd get squirrelly she'd say imagine that it's done/
I would try envisioning for months it would never come/ -And just when I'd think of packin up/ shed
Let me know she was going back to baggin up/

[Chorus]
-I poured a glass of something that I can't pronounce/ While dangling a thread on the bed so the cat would pounce/
- She unraveled a bag containing half an ounce/
- Hit tare on the scale and then she tapped it out/

DK New York, New York

What would the banging yet smooth beats of DJ Premier, Pete Rock, and the sonic architects of ’90s boom-bap sound like today? Nova Scotian-based producer DK has answered that question with his warm, analog-meets-digital hybrids of wistful yet modern boom-bap. ... more
