Once In A While Songtext
von K. Stone

Once in a while I′ll sit and contemplate my time
My live wire nature and the copper-plated vibes
Concentrated grind lined with consummated nights why

They consecrate the slime while the population dies
Once in a while, I'll sit examine the smoke
Imagine the hope that this famine evoke
They got lines of diamonds shinin′ brightly in highlands
While we got just granite and coke

Smoke out the top, the roach all I got
Soak in the spot from the rolls I have rocked
The rose and the shot, the ghost, and the clock
The dope and the rot and the choke on my luck

Too broke and cut to place my hope on some viable
Stroke of flux that takes my hopes and defile 'em
A toke and I'm by ′em, no shit
From the oak that I′m buyin', whole trips


Made of rope I have guided in hopes of a script
I′ve provoked all the fires and cloaked all the hits
Tropes and the list, whatever it takes
Since I severed the brakes in the cleverest ways

With an Everest trace of my last past journeys
Clashes and worries, flashes of gurneys
Patterns of mercy that matches the terms we
Hatched with latches patched into the term sheets

Once in a while, I'll sit and contemplate my time
My live wire nature and the copper-plated vibes
Concentrated grind lined with consummated nights why

They consecrate the slime while the population dies
Once in a while, I′ll sit examine the smoke
Imagine the hope that this famine evoke
They got lines of diamonds shinin' brightly in highlands
While we got just granite and coke

Plan it and choke, I rather die tryin′
I'd rather find fight in this matter that I'm writing
Man up′s a cope, I′d rather be inspired
I rather ride divine with the stature I've acquired
All this azure′s undesired, I've always rolled red


Silent or sardonic with a cold head
In this climate catatonic layin′, no bed
Violet like this chronic conditions knows death
Like prisons, Mos Def, envision, no steps
Depictions hold best when the system's all pressed

The pistons guards crests that mark control
Like a prison guard′s chest hides a dark hole
They spark coal like we could have no tomorrow
Better play along or get hit with embargoes
Reality's hollow 'cause of LSC
So I drink away the pain, one glass of Hennessy

Once in a while I′ll sit and contemplate my time
My live wire nature and the copper-plated vibes
Concentrated grind lined with consummated nights why
They consecrate the slime while the population dies
Once in a while, I′ll sit examine the smoke
Imagine the hope that this famine evoke
They got lines of diamonds shinin' brightly in highlands
While we got just granite and coke
