lyrics

Hey what can I say
We both wanted the same thing
But you didn't have your own day of the week
To remain king
If you're so good at shapeshifting
Why did you not rebrand yourself
I suspect your limitations were your downfall
You're a greedy hothead
My legacy is not dead
And It never will be
There will still be quite a lot said
But until you trick the Sky Father
Who by the way is me dude
Your time is up and now you're just
Down sleeping with the seafood
Perhaps if you hadn't let your little anger
Get the best of you
You could've kept the con on
But they've sauteed the rest of you
What a tangled web you've woven
Made your own bed
You've chosen
Finally laid to rest
Don't worry
Your loyal followers I will ingest
And I say this not in jest
Just in case you were worried
That your lost sheep would be left
Untended after you scurried away
To hide your stories in a hollow gourd
They will not be ignored
But will be driven toward the Lord
Yours Truly

Let's all say a prayer for Anansi
Noticed I said for and not to
And to all of his loyal followers
Mr. Wednesday will take care of you
Let's all say a prayer for Anansi
But now please join with me we must unite
For the battle of the old gods is not over
Burn an offering for me so we can fight

I mean who do you think I am though
Seriously I applaud you
Maybe if you keep at it
Someday you'll be a god too
I never tire of the fire you inspire
by being doomy
But I prefer to heed the words
Of the great poet Rumi
Let go of your anger
It may taste sweet but it kills
It's fine to stoke the fire of shadow men
But to harbor it within
You'll only end up like the djinn
Half-men not full gods
Like All-father the All-knower
Dude you're just a death loa

Let's all say a prayer for Anansi
Noticed I said for and not to
And to all of his loyal followers
Mr. Wednesday will take care of you
Let's all say a prayer for Anansi
But now please join with me we must unite
For the battle of the old gods is not over
Burn an offering for me so we can fight

Coolzey Fairfield, Iowa

Golden era hip-hop roots planted in black Iowa dirt are the foundation. Growth tempered by alternative era rock influence. This along with a love for the juxtaposition of the dark, horrific nature of life paired with a slapstick and comedic view of the world allow for a wide, unpredictable arsenal ranging from soul-spilling indie bedroom rock to wise-cracking battle rap and on to radio pop. ... more
