can anyone break this down lol

flash that buttery gold, jittery zeitgeist
wither by the watering hole, border patrol
what are we to heart huckabee art fuckery suddenly?
not enough young in his lung for the waterwing
colorfully vulgar poacher outta mulch
like "i'm 'a pull the pulse out a soldier and bolt"
fine
sign of the time we elapse
when a primate climb up a spine and attach
eye for an eye by the bog like swamps and vines
they get a rise out of frogs and flies
so when a dog-fight's hog-tied prize sorta costs a life
their mouths water on a fork and knife
and the allure isn't right, no score on a war torn beach
where the cash cow's actually beef
blood turns wine when it leak for police
like "that's not a riot it's a feast, let's eat!"

CHORUS:
and i will remember your name and face
on the day you are judged by the funhouse cast
and i will rejoice in your fall from grace
with a cane through the sky like "none shall pass"

aah, let me in! x2
none shall pass
aah, let me in! x2
none shall pass

if you never had a day a snow cone couldn't fix
you wouldn't relate to the rogue vocoder blitz
how he spoke through a no-doz motor on the fritz
cause he wouldn't play roll over fetch like a bitch
and express no regrets, though he isn't worth a homeowner's piss
to the jokers who pose by the glitz.
fine
sign of the swine in the swarm
when a king is a whore who comply and conform
miles outside of the eye of the storm
with a siphon to lure out a prize and award
while avoiding the vile and bazaar that is violence and war
true blue triumph is more
like wait, let it snake up outta the centerfold
let it break the walls of jericho
ready? go! sat where the old cardboard city folk
swap tales with heads like every other penny throw

Chorus

"you tried to trick me
you've gotta lot of nerve"
"i'm not trying to trick you
i'm -trust me- i'm -trust me- i'm trying to help"

okay, woke to a grocery list
goes like this: duty and death
honey, when a jet comes stand in the way
you could be my little snake river canyon today
and i ran with a chain of commands
and a jet pack strap where the back-stab lands if it can
fine
sign of the vibe in the crowd
when i cut her belly open to find what climb out
what a bit of gusto he muster up
to make a dark horse rush like enough is enough
it musta struck a nerve so they huff and puff
'til all the king's men fluster and clusterfuck
and it's a beautiful thing
to my people who keep an impressive wingspan
even when the cubicle shrink
you gotta pull up the intruder by the root of the weed
NY chew thru the machine

heres the link to the video the vibe of the song is dope though

socrates said the reason he'd never write anything down is because people might not understand what he wrote the way he wanted them to understand it

therefore, i think it takes guts to put some totally abstract shit out there like aes does and let people make what they will of it

he said in an interview once that he likes when people try and tell him what his songs are about because when he writes them they're about nothing.

and None Shall Pass is prolly my fav Aesop song ever, that beat is bananas. Blockhead>

I'd like to say he's a mad artistic genius who makes Picasso or Salvador Dali type music that has some crazy meaning if you sit there and break it all down. But I think he just adds a bunch of words together that rhyme but don't make sense. And then everybody in the world gets on his dick because they're afraid that if they say he doesnt make sense, they'll be labeled as stupid.

I think he's a great artist and he spits a hell of a live concert, but I don't think he knows what he hell he's talking about and sometimes I feel cheated. Its like putting a puzzle together and finding out that there's no picture once you get the pieces to fit. I'd give him a lot more credit if I found out he was schizophrenic and that shit made sense to him.

The only song he ever made that had any point TO ME was No Regrets.

I always thought this about a lot of artists, but the less sense you make, the easier it is to rhyme words together. Real talent is being able to rhyme, put a flow together, and make sense.

I copped aesop rock, cannibal ox, & mf doom & he actaully tried 2 give me murs but I was like naw, but now I think id actaully fuck wit him too. I heard sum his shit la or sum shit on u tube that was straight.

I listen 2 that shit cleanin up bkuz idk wtf dat white dood be sayin. on 1 song he was sayn sumthn bout u can't save hip hop & the other was sumthn like he takn the day & puttn back the pieces his way or sum shitits good smoke music tho!
