the Love Song - K-OS

Contrary to popular belief…

This is not a lovesong

It’s a sonnet

Damn, it feels good to have people up on it but

I’m just a fool playing with the Master’s tools

Learning how to break the rules of this record company pool

Hallucination — I see with my eyes

But my heart’s telling me lies

Why do I fantisize?

Why am I telling lies to the people from the stage

Pretending it’s all good when inside it’s fire and rage

Cuz I can’t understand how a man lives off the life of another man

Tryin to pimp the universe — that’s a joke

I stay rockin the boat down on my last note

It’s murder she wrote

Assassination vocabulary

I see your termination is heavily necessary

I should have known — they do it for Forbes alone

I do it to break the walls if I fall off then let me know people

CHORUS

It’s funny how life can go

First you ride high then you might lay low

Don’t get high off your own supply

Someone said first before a fall comes pride

This is my message to the world

Just tryin to reach every boy and girl

Not tryin to say if it’s right or wrong

This is not a love song

Lyrical optometrists with 20/20 vision

Are serving rounds like my granny used to serve provisions

Chaotical amneotical fluid

The rap druid is fluent with the art of onomatopoeia

Metaphysical microscopic topic dropper

When I was a kid I wanted rollerskates and a bike chopper

But alas, pop, pop never thought to keep me in style

Thats why I’m schizophrenic now

So God bless the child that has his own

The harvest we reap is what we sow

Chrome microphone — shoot it

There was a dome of computer digital clones

that mimic philosopher stones

Sayin a style’s their own when they bite like Mike Furounsville

The sounds ill

Relationship is a mirror

That you see yourself up in and the picture is clearer

That’s why I’m on the scene with a mic like Ernesto Guevara

While they exploited nights like Geraldo Riviera

They just…

CHORUS

It’s easy not to care what people say

It’s harder to pretend and try

Cuz they can only love you from yesterday

I’m looking at the now they pose high

I’m just a man who’s walking

They stand around and keep talking

They tried to clip my wings

But wisdom fills so many things

Say it again

I’m just a man who’s walking

They stand around and keep talking

They tried to clip my wings

But wisdom fills so many things

It’s funny how life can go

Don’t get high off your own supply

This is my message to the world…
