A Picture by Noesis (Philadelphia Slick) Lyrics
[All Lyrics: Noesis]
[Verse 1]
A picture isn't worth a thousand words
Its worth a picture
The value of a thousand words depends on who's the scribbler
Rap-
I do it like for the Gipper
More equipped to storm the morning so the afternoon and evening form a mixture
Spread it 'cross the night's canvas
With a slight bite like the spice anise
Strike from the right vantage
Heist planning
Like the great train robbery
I got the keys like Bach
Verbal special ops right before the drop
In the fold like butcher chops on the wooden block
High percetage john wooden shots the 'D' couldn't stop
Swept the floor, the competition opted for the mops
Left them clutching to their stocks
Fleers and their Topps
Rhymes in a lockbox encrypted in Coptic fonts
Memorized and guarded by future-martyrs round the clock
Fuck living posh
Pitting pop against my latest crop of lyrics
(that) became ageless once I laid the vox
[Hook]
When the sunset across Philadelphia
The moonlight reflected itself on city noise
Citizens livin' off the bitten as we spinnin' on this huge DJ platform into the void
And the parks
That we used to do it out in
Now arousing memories clouded like the gaussian blur
So when the turn up the weekdays
Turn up the PA
And bump it louder for the doubters out on the curb
And just come on
[Scratch]
"One More Thing"
[Noesis]
When the sun went down, the beats rose up
[Verse 2]
A picture isn't worth a thousand words
Its worth a picture
The value of a thousand words depends on whos the scrivener
Pardon if I'm vocal 'bout your Modest Proposal
When I focus:
Paul Vogel, don't doctor the photo
Rhymes helter skelter after the sample's smeltered
Gathered by elders at the delta of whatever river I won't tell ya
Phatter than Helga
Fuck these clowns spraying rhymes like seltzer
The god mod organs from doric to elka
Combinations of dramatizations - somber to elation
All after booking the bands accomodations
Roll tighter than Rahm-Obama nominations
This is Philly where we born bombing confrontation
Where your basic shit is played like New Jersey jokes
Played like the dirty Koch brothers to the working folk
The illest shit in your ear since vertigo
Now that you heard of Noesis go return your flow
[Hook]
When the sunset across Philadelphia
The moonlight reflected itself on city noise
Citizens livin' off the bitten as we spinnin' on this huge DJ platform into the void
And the parks
That we used to do it out in
Now arousing memories clouded like the gaussian blur
So when the turn up the weekdays
Turn up the PA
And bump it louder for the doubters out on the curb
And just come on
[Scratch]
