Non Compos Mentis
Abstract Rude Aceyalone Haiku D'Etat & Mikah 9 Lyrics

Non compos mentis and moon struck
Mentally unstable and fascinated by the moon

come, pompous apprentice and succumb
Arrogant novice, give in to the truth

To this relentless, yes, the sun
To this unstoppable force, the sun

rises and sets yet you see none
It goes on every day, but you're oblivious

of its effects until it's done
You only recognize its impact when it's gone

then you'd reflect on how you'd run
And regret how you've been living

I'd take a step, your momentum
I'll move forward, despite your resistance

I had still kept, fool
I've maintained my strength and intelligence

they eat then they want to smoke then they eat food
They have repetitive cycles of pleasure-seeking

repetitive cycle 'til I feel in the mood
I continue this pattern until I'm satisfied

other crews can't copy, they ain't got the magnitude
No one can imitate my greatness

I hit 'em up, a heavyweight, they call 'em Ab Rude
I dominate, and they admire my skills

this is not simply just to downplay wishes
I'm not trying to diminish aspirations

made by emcees who found they status
Achieved by rappers who reached their goals

do what you do to live life lavish
Do whatever it takes to live luxuriously

have this cabbage, heavy baggage
Earn the money, but it comes with burdens

Well I would like to start by saying
I want to begin by expressing

life has to be sparked each day
Each day is an opportunity to ignite life

and night, got to be smart don't play
Be wise and make intelligent choices

your time, you won't be back
Once your time is gone, it's gone forever

when I speak I slice the words up like a slasher
My words are sharp and impactful

private party crasher, dasher, rational thinker
I disrupt social norms, analyze situations logically

sparkle a twinkle, third eye glimmer
I bring a subtle enlightenment to others

sky swimmer
I navigate through life with ease and grace

I like to let it simmer 'til the lights get dimmer
I prefer to wait and observe before taking action

and I like talking about dilemma
I enjoy discussing challenging issues

and come up with a solution for the pollution
And finding answers to problems that plague us

my contribution being the superior being at emceeing
My contribution is being the best rapper

and seeing the light love being in the light
I appreciate positivity and being in a good place

but they snatch it like a thief in the night
But others take it away unexpectedly

I call them the cookie monsters
I refer to them as greedy individuals

on the grind for these Entemanns, Chips-A-Hoy
Working hard for snacks and treats

combined with M&Ms, money, main
Alongside money, their main motivation

these be-Boys prosper posture on top of the roster exposed impostor
These arrogant men succeed, but they're frauds

send him in, rendering him limb and limb
Send him in, destroy him completely

salted wounded, squeezing a little lemon in
Inflict pain and add insult to injury

torture sounding from drowning porter subjects surrendering
Subjects succumb to torture and give up

my tender and remembering the splendor when
I remember the beauty of past experiences

I put my first splinter in nail
I remember my first achievement, like a splinter in a nail

cuticle, black male
Referring to my own black male identity

and you and yo honey giving skully to Clinton insider her cubicle
You and your partner engaging in sexual activities secretly

checks not cash knots
Having more checks than actual cash

she also gotta keester half this poultry up that twat
She also has to hide some money in her vagina

the rest will go up to other how's tickling the G-spot
The remaining money will go to other people

on G.P. you could D.P. the sales manager and the VP
You could double penetrate the manager and VP

you could smuggle me a key
You could secretly bring drugs to me

I best believe that's how it be
I strongly believe that's the reality

just smoke this weed and leave with all the homies
Just enjoy this marijuana and leave with your friends

Out the hotel
Exiting the hotel

ain't we having a car come pick us up?
Aren't we expecting a car to arrive and transport us?

the life of a star come hook us up
Living like a star, get special treatment

studios, stages and the streets, bomb beats
Recording studios, live performances, and the streets with great music

pages of loose leaf, blazing the keef
Writing lyrics, smoking marijuana

courageous, the truth speaks louder than lies
Being brave, honesty is more powerful

so when they hear you style they be proud of you guys
When people hear your music style, they'll admire you

search from land to land
Travel across different places

go from a thousand to a hundred to ten
Decrease in popularity or success

and couldn't find an honest man
Unable to find someone trustworthy

it ain't always what it's promised to be
Things don't always turn out as expected

they don't stop until the thirty third and a third degree
They won't stop until complete destruction

shhh... can you keep a secret? of course
Can you be trusted with confidential information?

or yell it loud 'til your voice hoarse
Or shout it until you lose your voice

out the airport
Leaving the airport

and we having a plane fly us out
Arranging for a plane to transport us

we the truest, they interview us for what we write about
We are genuine, they want to know about our lyrics

whether we're right or wrong
Regardless of our correctness

once again it's on 'til the night is gone
Once again, we're active until the night ends

get in a zone from the dome and a tight song
Get into a focused state of mind with our captivating music

Well life just ain't sugary and buttery, is it?
Life isn't always easy and pleasant, is it?

now what, are we fooling ourselves thinking that it is?
Are we deluding ourselves into believing it is?

I'm thinking that these kids need to know it from the jump
I believe young people need to understand it from the beginning

and be it that I'm a poet trying to get over the hump
And as a poet, I'm trying to overcome obstacles

I could play it like a trump
I could use clever tactics to succeed

make you sicker than the mumps
I can make you feel worse than ever

the days come hella fast and the money comes in clumps
Time passes quickly, and money comes irregularly

and sometimes it don't come at all
And sometimes, there's no money at all

you run you fall come one for all for one
You try, you fail, everyone must support each other

depending on exactly where you from
It all depends on your specific circumstances

'cause the only way to be immortalized to be organized
The only way to be remembered is to be structured

and be able to be mobilized and look over the skies
And have the ability to move and see beyond

I speak for an Overise
I represent a higher authority

and I stand for the universe
And I represent the entire universe

and freedom of man original with the tan
And the freedom of mankind, especially those with a tan complexion

can I expand? can I feel the crowd?
Can I grow? Can I connect with the audience?

if you don't want me to touch you then, uhh, speak up now
If you don't want me to interact with you, voice it now

yeah, I keep my eyes on the owl and the sparrow
I pay attention to both big and small things

and the eagle and the hawk
And the majestic eagle and hawk

They say why you talk that crazy talk
People question why I express unconventional ideas

I tell 'em 'we see what your eyes can't see'
I tell them that we perceive things beyond their comprehension

on me, 'we hear what ears can't hear'
We can hear things that others can't

poetry we can be what nobody can be
Through poetry, we can express our uniqueness

solely the only lonely truly
Being the only truly lonely person
