before you know what's in the mist, engulfed turned upside down inhaling sparkly sharkle flakes warm collection in the lung melting down the heart swelling coursing thickening vein mind begins to wander deposit drop off silvery sediment stop off weight hung and cling to organs pull down flesh tear pool down left lone abandoned bandaging damage control fallen and sprawled on the forest floor: too heavy for the world woke up hardly moved the arm shards in folds bear your witness thumb the bloated innards moan . starve . think find a pick carve and cut mine it out make a mound quick ammends scented blood it burns now a block of nickel lies on the frozen ground so dense . so shiny don't you want to wrap it in rusty plastic and dump it in the ditch? of course you do instead you stare at it and find reflection metal speech vast line it wants inside softly blinking you lick at it slowly

about

thank you to all my friends and family for your support and love
you are an amazing force in my life. special thanks to desmond and mike for your talented musical contributions.
thief acrobat is dedicated to those musicians whose recordings i have appropriated without permission - it is out of deep respect and inspiration. i consider this cd as my demo so any producers listening who want to collaborate, please contact me. i have been performing and composing music for many years, but this cd is my first attempt as an mc. i began seriously listening to rap music at age 10 when public enemy’s nation of millions album came out in 1988. terminator x’s craft was very impressive and although i didn’t fully understand the depth of everything chuck was communicating, i could tell there was something significant in his message. over the years i have grown to appreciate hip-hop culture, especially rap music, and feel it is time to give back to a culture which has inspired me greatly. the lyrics are derived from poetry written from november 2005 to march 2006. my vocal style has been influenced by many sources, most notably: aesop rock, high priest, beans, m.sayyid, mf doom, gift of gab, kool keith, and freestyle fellowship, especially aceyalone. thanks for the inspiration!

peace.
