Prox Centauri - The Persistence of Forethought Lyrics

From a little enclave, just off of Saginaw
Those in this sector want paradise but can't have it dog
And tragic flaw is that rap is obsessed with bragging yall
That's why I babble on about Avalon in my travelogues
Rhetoric's heaven sent, stay abreast with a clever sound
90's baby cloaked in the afterbirth of the nether-realm
Elegant I represent for prevalent impact
Pepper or bespeckle tracks with eloquent syntax
Cheffing up these sonnets we got non-stop catering
To fuel a revolution call me Jean-Jacques Dessalines
Tasteless, in the kitchen cooking flagrant moves to make
But i'm bringing more flavors to savor than cajun bouillabaisse
Here comes the boom, our bap brings soul
Keeping listeners jazzed up like Nat King Cole
When the rhythm hit us flooded with a deluge of emotion
These new sonics are the preludes that evokes it

Time waits for no man, peeping this observation
Contemplation serves to feature that proclamation
Forethought is clear, there's wisdom in concentration
There's wisdom in concentration
Time waits no man, peeping this observation
Contemplation serves to feature that proclaimation
Forethought is clear, there's wisdom in concentration
There's wisdom in concentration

Expensive timepieces can only map out the microcosm
Truth Stranger Than Fiction move around like my life's a novel
Tryna meet the Gods, I walk abroad in them Aether garbs
Cut from steel fabric, Illmatic my teacher's Nas
Solar streams weaved into the seaming of my genes
Don't know much about mathematics yet these edicts are supreme
Alabaster ornaments adorning my perception
As a constant reminder that this rhyming is fluorescent
Entwined in the threading of time, I'm like a haberdasher
Panoptical mantras topics diverse as Madagascar
Painted poetics rival galactic latticework
Nothing came Ex Nihilo I had to form the habits first
Hypnotic oration, mesmerizes the most adept
Then loosens the grip of those who chose to promote duress
Believe in reaching demons, heathens, even talk to godless
I'mma keep em nodding out in Eden, Shangri-La, or Jannah, honest

Time waits for no man, peeping this observation
Contemplation serves to feature that proclamation
Forethought is clear, there's wisdom in concentration
There's wisdom in concentration
Time waits no man, peeping this observation
Contemplation serves to deepen my concentration
Forethought is clear, there's wisdom in concentration
There's wisdom in concentration
