Albums Black Thought and Danger Mouse - Cheat Codes (Discussion thread)

[IronFist]

“Prisoners of Azkaban, thinkin' of a master plan Images of grandeur by Jamel Shabazz, Dapper Dan Clap your hands whether you in Paterson or Pakistan Richard Wright, black boy that grew into a blacker man” – Sometimes

“Theologians point to the trap house that God is in Go on, take his name in vain, like a phlebotomist I'm the one that tell you what time it is Never been into selling you promises, it's hot as a pot of grits That's not a myth, Blackness is not a monolith” – Cheat Codes

“Yo, I'm like Thelonious at the underground piano Dressed in camo, the grenades, guns and ammo Death to Sambo, send him a bouquet and a candle I came to take back that other two-fifths of a man, so From a silhouette standin' in the aperture To a figurehead standin' in the path of a killer” – The Darkest Part

“But never less than a five and never slept on the job A killer dumped on your squad, yet never left the garage When your God was close enough to see the flesh of his eyes Get to the button and press, it's what the message advised What's a threat? Behind a mess is where the testament lies” - Aquamarine

“I’m supreme, my jean jacket for the shoot was Jean Gaultier Philly, PA, we been gettin' ours the brodie way When it come to drama, I'm a young Sidney Poitier Y'all know not to sleep on me like Don Quixote Since the glory days like Springsteen, I been clean” – Violas & Lupitas
