Hiphoppocratic Oath
from the catacombs
Phil Phanatic:
Green
Phat
up in a classic pose
Put the record on the platter
spin it backward though
track isn't revolver
aint chaps from Abby Road

Flip ya
weak cypha to a magic show:
all rappers on the mic into jackalopes
holy mackerel
pack em down rabbit holes
back in the day I’d be a beat poet daddio

Symbiotic with the city's physiology
Busy bodies schiz out to pizzicato strings
Reppin repetitions
Split like a bishop incision
To the rhythm
Get to gripping

Temper flipping
Skipped out on the dinner bill
Snatched the apple pie chilling on ya window sill
Yelling bring it back:
What things used to cost
Mooching the land
Speed off like supercross


2

I'm the type
sit back with a flow
rap japanese poems
like backwoods with 'dro

Martina
like class without having a loan
or attached to the grid
no fracking and coal

Me an you:
apples and os
got game like
Attack of the Show
no sleep whether rapping or code
whole week on the motif notes speak
old crows feet have dramatically grown

Spread the sonnets
set tectonics: Stetsasonic
Left deposits like
episodic economics
Bless it honest
rep the culture like a strep throat
test those
from the folds to the epiglottis

If i'm spending dollars
it's eating empanadas
defend against the men who attempt to demagogue us
The little things
sticking to the truth
Broke the fiddle strings, pa
yo I'm spitting on the roof
