enemy of the state

lyrics

Underground network, {freestyle} enemy of the state [like] critical art ensemble. i don’t fumble, i don’t fondle, i don’t bumble, i speak loud and i don’t need to mumble.
Rub art the wrong way it hurts believe, I got hope like Steve Kurtz. No wavering
on Waverly [pl.] nor westward or eastbound, I got a secret body of work like “look what we found!” is what the art historians will say after I “bite the dust” not “hit the hay”.
Ayyyyy! Actually I’ll be a diamond like [Jill] Magid, yes it’s so you know that I’ll always be shinin, even with government’s declinin my pride’s in human beings not the country they reside in. I serve them vis-a-vis exploring what’s inside me and how my mind processes the things on the side and in the front in the back. No i ain’t reclining, i’m designing, and it shouldn’t be a crime when i’m pushing understandings to help us understand things, but it’s not a perfect world, like i see coattail-riders shining.
DON’T NEED NO ONE
{adlibbing}
solo game
no team
all me like [Jackie] Joyner-Kersee
or Usain [Bolt] 

I’m runnin this [picture]plane, flyer than a plane, higher than a plain sack of grade A lapis lazuli to the dome. I bring the paint to its home [with] no Glidden [and] no format forbidden. Hold up, wait a minute.

{adlibbing}
 paintin pictures… paintin scriptures.
JUST ME AND MY SURFACE
GOT YOU denigrated peoples NERVOUS

ha ha YOU DUCK
WHEN YOU SEE MY TOUCH
cmon step your game up
can you run a crit? can out run a click? [handgun sound effect]

Leavin’ y’all stained like fabric. Helen (maverick.) Frankenthaler, goin harder and to the death/deaf like [Helen] Keller. Badness. No leather jacket, but MJ [Michael Jordan + Michael Jackson] type magic. And [I mean] the one who beat AIDS [Magic Johnson] I don’t no need one, no I don’t need aides. {adlibbing} Reframe reframe.
