the overly dramatic truth

here's an excerpt from one of my favorite hip-hop artist to date. his style is living proof that there are a few intellectuals that wont dumb it down for you.. unless it comes to talking about a relationship. this is one of my favorites off his newest album..

el-p - 'the overly dramatic truth'

i became for you what you had asked
telepath
you're too young to ask out loud
i'm too old to not know that
i can talk like you've not heard
i know weapons
you think words i exposed you to these terms
you still chose to roll unheard
that could work but
not so fast
you're so open
i'm so crass
i'm too weak to hold that back
you still think intrigue will last
you can't imagine of my past
i just can't explain all that
i wish i could trade you're place
so romantic full of faith
i must spare you
i must learn
i refuse to be your first
first to put you in your place
first to make you speed your pace
i'm a man now (good or bad)
you're a girl still (good for you)
don't think this don't make me sad
this is something i must do

keep you own time (leave me be)
trying to spare you (trying to be)
god melodic (man on fire)
coward long gone (all desire)
fuck you raw now (it's my fault)
fuck you raw dog (i can't stop)
should have listened
should have left
i can't stop unless you jet
it's so simple.. open head
i will nit my savage thread
help me help you (walk away)
leave this un-amazing grace
you don't know from pure disgrace
you still think i'm here to save
i'm not even really here
i can't give what i can't take


there's more but you should listen to the song for its full effect.. heres a link to dl the song, it'll last 7 days
