Drip

V1:
A new day, a new moon; a new answer to the question, “Why?”
A lunar vagabond trekking European skies
So impolite in my more selfish day
Pray collusion with the moss, persuade the rock remains

This intrepid traveller, in tune with ancient battlers...
Archimedes’ treatise; heat the seas become the addler
The King Rattler: D.J.C. J.D. Salinger
Kairos and catharsis in an inequivalent caliber…

Mark your calendar--a challenger approaches,
A vascular ambassador puts atmosphere in focus--
Clarity in doses… oh, psychosis free-form!
Meiosis, apoptosis--oh, it’s hopeless just to be born!

Diagnosis: be warned; we form opinions…
We form societies, we form religions…
We form the reform! We ignore the prisons!
Be more or bleed more before the end is.
(Be more or bleed more before the end is…)

V2:
Well right here is my playground, my words have had to stay bound
See lyrically, empirically, I’m seriously très wound
Feverishly make sounds--devilishly disheveled--
Yeah, apathy’s a path for me--god damn, we’re all rebels

God damn, we’re all pebbles even if we’re all stoned!
God damn--she got me thinkin’ that her mind is her own.
No--I ain’t your keeper. No hands held...
Take hypocrisy and honesty and I’m a nice meld.

Now process, digest, pick the fruit at its ripest
Stay steady, the tide must not just aim at the righteous
The wicked, the peace--the victory has ceased
The rise of the yeast, but you can’t cage the beast

When discerned from the burden, the curtain of certain,
Ambitious discouraged, the courage to flourish
Must not be impaired--the words of resurgence
Must not be prepared--be cautious of the urgent.
(Always be cautious of the urgent...)

about

Electrik Ants Dallas, Texas

"It's like Gorillaz + Anderson .Paak + Tame Impala blasting off in a rocket!" A genuine blend of hip-hop, funk, and psychedelic rock. Fronted by rapper MCDC, The Ants are a group of five multi-instrumentalists with sax, turntables, drums, bass, guitar, keys, synth, and percussion, all getting attention. We create a sound that's equally deeply familiar and cosmically adventurous." ... more
