Lyrics
APPARITION
music and lyrics by Joey "G-Clef" Cavaseno
additional lyrics by Adrian Torres
someone's over there, in this room
you can't really see him too well
i know he's there
try not to look
maybe he'll go
i think he knows what
we all talk about in our minds
did we bring him here?
do you know?
is it a ghost?
does he need food?
this is so strange,
but i'm not scared, duke
g-clef verse:
im like a ghost and you just a busta
timeless avenger temporal planet
nuclear friction fiction
phantasmagoria verisimilitude borin' ya
make somethin up - quick fix
antagonizin' with the spik
nervously surprisin' ya - anti thug matterist
templar sword to ya bronchial
hell's wind harness - staff of ra
joe aton - crystal confederates pickin' cotton
fuck a mothership we on it
fuck a killa bee im a hornet
never xerox the craft i spawn it
x-ray horizontal periphery
trilateral climax misanthropic mythocrat
purple agents seem stuck
mysterious cowans say its all about the buck
yo what the fuck!
he's the great pretender - seeing double
anti-perfectionist rebellious being TROUBLE!
metatron verse:
What you want ?
What you doing ?
Why you here?
I think I'm losing my mind
did duke come back one last time?
No one gonna believe this - perceive this
it's teasin' , my 5 senses of perception
resting in peace - got my mind at war
ayo duke who and what killed the dinosaurs?
what about jesus? did he really pay dues to sacrifice?
and how's that afterlife?
shit's wack when you inside lookin' out
you need a ghost of duke to tell what life about
this shit is weird yo!
why you here, yo?
You got me freaked out but it aint fear so
what can i do but let you keep watchin' ?
i mean shit duke don't come by often
since nigga died like mad years ago
it's cool - guess he alive in what you hearin' though!
