ABSOLUTES

R.A.P. Ferreira

Hassle proof, spit it in nothin' but absolutes

I don't remember askin' you for a comment

S'posed to feel like bombardment

Vigorous work, the real jerk, no Steve Martin

No he not Spartan, no he not sparrin'

My mind's favorite yoga pose is pullin' okey dokes

Heroes turn to hoagie rolls, it's so laborious

I plot peace as a coordinate

My dojo taught insubordinance is glorious

I prefer when they forfeit, tap out, rap mount

The bag is bounced past, then I cash out

Left a note said, left a note said, left a note said

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

Back of the note had a post script reading

At her I marveled, fiddles with whale bone toggle

Herself is the obstacle, fossilization ain't optional

Survival isn't logical, n***s became absurdists, surrealists, dada flows

S'pose you can holler if you feel this

Those beyond the tasteful, a trip to Office Max for staples

This sh** is graceful

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

Open the mouth to give testimony, bear witness

You need fresh air and a prayer for forgiveness

Tuck and weave, like Febreeze, particulates

You know my tongue be ticklish

You have my active thanks

The rhythm become sacrosanct

Dandelion wine on an empty stomach

Broke the bank, stretched the budget

Broke the bank, stretched the budget

I played the wake, sampled the buffet

Left some flowers by the grave

I sampled the buffet, played the wake

Left some flowers by the grave

So when I die I won't stay

(When I die I won't stay)

Dead
