Patterns Lyrics by Sans

shore lines

2020

[Verse 1: Sans]
First off there’s nothing wrong with those spitting a basic pattern
I know the sixteenth note shoguns who still remain assassins
Rapping is simple and complexity can kill the magic
Better to make it accessible than to fill the pad up
But a popular way is to fill up the page (hey, hey)
So many rappers with more of the same, triplet-triplet-wait
If rhythm is color then this is a different paint, but is it the same
If everyone uses a limited shade and follows a similar way
This style it reminds me of the sizzurp
Or thizzin while I’m cutting up a rug just like a scissor
I blame Snoop or maybe the rappers that’s cool as blizzards
For convincing kids to make a parody of words
This last one is a mixture, might be a fixture
Like old Eminem still sipping the elixir: flipping and dipping the rhythm with tongue calisthenics
And if you can’t keep up then I think you need to practice, syllables and adlibs
Cause Busta instructed us to break a neck to this rap shit, slave to the patterns

[Chorus]
We waste the time we have
We live we die
PATTERNS
You lose your sanity
You win you try
PATTERNS
They tax the salary
They take what’s mine
PATTERNS
I am no casualty
I take my time

[Verse 2: Sans]
5’8”, 150, Honolulu I run city
Run for mayor might do it later, but for now my tongue giddy
The pattern of man is to live and to die
Lucky I’m no longer wondering why
I been inspired by teaching and making
You want to be great then just study the ancients
No paycheck to paycheck–live cover to cover
Epictetus, Aurelius, Seneca brother
I’m reading and living with patience
They talk about being the greatest
I tell them to get on a waitlist
Cause the strong do what we will
While the weak do what is fated
Explode rather than fade this mirage becoming oasis
Music is life suspended in time trapped between all the bass hits
We are just constituent parts nothing more than particulate matter
The lifeform is only a pattern

[Chorus]
We waste the time we have
We live we die
PATTERNS
You lose your sanity
You win you try
PATTERNS
They tax the salary
They take what’s mine
PATTERNS
I am no casualty
I take my time
