AESOP ROCK
"I'll Be OK"
feat. Slug

[Intro: Slug]
Burn it down...

[Slug]
Pad the circles 'round your life
To capture all the sides you sight
Magic tricks where skeptics sink
The ice is thin, stay off the lake
Waiting for a clock to punch
Wish I could breathe and stop for lunch
If I stop to count the leaves on only one of these here trees
Not sure that I know what's pure
Born to kill the insecure
Some respect, some resent, some remain from start to end
Wear my heart on my short sleeves
I'm stuck out here, I lost my keys
From the roof I watch the street
And pray for those that's caught beneath

[Slug, Aesop Rock]
As long as I know right from wrong
I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs
As long as I know right from wrong
As long as I know right from wrong

[Slug]
I dunno what I have left
To give other than truth and breath
Angel when she shuts her eyes
Like we will leave to my demise
Between my time is short
About to start my last resort
Wake me up when it's time to make babies
Talkin planet earthquakes
Tied the laces, touch the ground
Let emotions ruptured now
As long as I know right from wrong
I'll be ok I'll sing my songs

[Chorus: Aesop Rock, Slug]
As long as I know right from wrong
I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs
As long as I know right from wrong
I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs
As long as I know right from wrong
I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs
As long as I know right from wrong
I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs

[Aesop Rock]
I wanna lift every yellowbrick
I've never felt pressure to have to justify my selfishness
At least not to you and yours
Maybe just my friends and fellowships
As long as the mood is somehow linked to my enhanced development
I swear they'll understand!!!
There's a storm outside my tenement
Beats upon my windows with Mother Nature's adrenaline
I guess that's why my homie Blockhead stays glued to the television
Now I look less intelligent
'Cuz I'm the one that tried to bear the elements and lost
Well it's warm by the filament
Huddled up close in the company of all my relatives
Stories, laughs, black coffee and honest-to-God sentiment
Cocooned inside the unified efforts to all get settled in
Away from where the rain pours!
Well count your delegates
Weed out the bums who practice migration other than elegant
Of course I realize the filtering procedure's delicate
But let devils inside to collide with your overzealousness
And fall to rock bottom
Spot 'em with their carelessness
The urge could burst to turn even those pacifist to militant
You can't even have half of free second
To become jealous in
You gotta aim, fire and aspire to be model veteran
Buried in merit badges
I'm stuck in the center and could care less
About the eye of the storm and its monstrous measurements
I got a defense that I call coolin' with my brethren
Sometimes I get wet
But it's better than risking life and limb to me, don't you agree?

[Chorus: Slug, Aesop Rock]
As long as I know right from wrong
I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs
As long as I know right from wrong
I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs
As long as I know right from wrong
I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs
As long as I know right from wrong
I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs

[Outro: Aesop Rock] *repeat to fade*
If you wanna push
Then I'm ready to push
But if you pulling while I'm pushin'
Then why did you ask me to push?
