The Thing Lyrics by Reverse Opium

Baxter Building Takeover

2024

Cobblestone willing, I mastered my own feeling

If I was to go get it, the pot of gold rolls quickly off spectral hues

My reaction to arcs, skewed parabolas start matching Exacto cuts

Stencils and shadow art, pitch to the blackest hearts, traveled to Nanda Parbat with a handle

I must take the mantle, death rays and mantas guard the way to Atlantis

But my breath control mimic that of a pressurized O2 canister

Kyson chopped the wholefoods into Nobu organically

4 rules I used to provoke you to stand up

So you better listen with precision, best not miss out on what I'm chanting



Despite the sadness trilling we came from underground, rock the throne, we coming for the crown



And if you got show em something, I better a fist up in the sky like you gon bash through ceilings

The thang I’m actually willing the give a fuck about starts with you, there ain't no other route

And if you gotta give it your all, I better see you fuckers scrapping with you backs to buildings



Came the day of emancipation

Juneteenth for my brethren I hailed a celebration

Prodigal son of the dragon reborn

After the death of Bruce Lee

That's 1973

My father second generation was more driven then me

I am third generation did I ever have to bleed

Grandfather fresh of the boat with 3000 up in his pocket

And split it with his brother, so 1500’s empty

Made a blueprint, that's for my ancestry

Two Latin characters, succeeded his name, that's M.D

Two pseudonyms blessed by the fullest moon, put you to REM Sleep

Two intertwined appendages that's a promise you can't keep

A brother I do keep

My mother nurtured the womb

My father Fire and fuel

So I promise I won't weep

A come up I do see

I started from loose leaf

So if you gotta say your piece

Better show em that proof chink



I hate a man that would rather stay on the train track

So many tracks I've been training to bring the pain back

Then he confessed that he really was just ashamed that

Something in his identity never paid back



My eyes may slant but don't think I ain’t ever seeing you

I shouldn’t overlook another person transgressions

But I'll be damned if I don’t see what you is going through

When you pull the sides of your eyes do you see past lessons

Do you share the fear that's residing within my dads severance

Couldn't predict what his son would be based off past or present

Even alone if I got back against the wall against a 7 nation army bet your ass, I preach my last last message
