The Palmer Squares
Namesake (Square Tactics)
[Intro]
If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today, you'd better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
[Verse 1: Terminal Knowledge]
Terminal Knowledge
Follows the herd of the working impoverished who earn what they got
You a polished turd
I drop shit like a bird in the sky
It's nothing personal
Your dollar is worthless
The merciful will hurt you with kindness
Disperse verses that burn my esophagus
I keep the mercury climbing
(You thirsty?) Term watered the bottom shelf Burgundy wine
I must be God himself (certainly not)
These are words of a prophet so the product sells
Turn a sermon to a sonnet then I'm shot to hell
Burning the chronic in a chocolate L
Madcap crack my vertebral columns for a flashback
Rock the set
Turn up the volume, go on, nod your head
With a murderous smile and a furrowing brow
Ayo it's not about your personal hardships
But exactly what you've learned and accomplished
[Hook x2]
(All I got) is my namesake
(Vaulted mind) Of a braincase
(Call it locked) In a bank safe
Blank slate
(Heart of rock) And a straight face
All I got is my namesake
[Verse 2: Acumental]
It's Acumental
The vapid rebel leaving cats bedeviled
Transcendental
When I rap, you're gonna scratch your temple
(Oh what you haven't heard?) Somebody fax the memo
I grab a pencil and attack with an emphatic bellow
A haggard fellow with a halfie in his Calvin Klein's
And a bag of endo getting crafty with the battle rhymes
Blast my demo
Max the levels
I wanna have the treble echo, from Scranton Penn to Sacramento
Ordinary Dogs
Trapped in kennels
Mad disheveled
Declared the boss by Andrew Reynolds
Got the track credentials
Keep my cash embezzled
Watching Jimmy Fallon (when though?)
After Leno
I've been called a handsome devil and a gentleman
Cats be asking "when'll Acumental run for president?"
Vast potential for development
Essentially a veteran
I'm hedging on the bet cause
[Hook x2]
(All I got) is my namesake
(Vaulted mind) Of a braincase
(Call it locked) In a bank safe
Blank slate
(Heart of rock) And a straight face
All I got is my namesake
[Verse 3: Term & Ac]
Palmer Squares
Fast talking like an auctioneer
Now you either caught the fear or you were mauled by bears
Not quite coughin' nails but we're almost there (where?)
Gathering applause
Or an awkward stare
Walk on air raise it up like your barber's chair
Hot spit (whoo!)
Extra jardiniere
Max the thermostat
Catch a murder wrap when we murk a track
It's Term and Ac
[Hook x2]
All we got is our namesake
(Vaulted mind) Of a braincase
(Call it locked) In a bank safe
Blank slate
(Heart of rock) And a straight face
All I got is my namesake
