Princes of Babylon

[Hook: Algernon] Pin stripe suits and wing tip shoes This is how the princes do It’s Gatsby and Algernon The royalty of Babylon We swing, and slide We’ll change the mood tonight We groove, we jive We paint the moon with light [Verse: Algernon] This is from the future writing past present pretense Loosen up your soul until the feeling starts to make sense Release of regrets the psychedelic priest said We're searching for the new sound no audio regress To truly hear the sea funk you gotta find your sea legs We're finna make it cooler than the joints in the bee legs An insta listen buzz we just wanna get your mind flown Babylon flow Hammurabi in a cyclone The spirit never dies that’s the code that we live by Write it down in stone and the message will survive I’m sitting on a throne made of trombone slides And the garden in the sky is the palace I reside Blood sweat and tears are displayed on the canvas You'll never be assured until you weigh a couple chances Your body lays alone but memories are never gone And when you're lying in the box know your one with Algernon [Hook] [Verse: Gatsby] Never thought I’d see the day, Gatsby and Algernon Literary idols legacies been overdrawn Talkin bout of Mice and Men, the best plans laid Only thing we got planned is to rap and get paid Grew up in a small town dreamed of prosperity Couldn’t be more than another regularity Eyes up at night aimed with some peculiarity Cosmos up above filled with unfamiliarity Sagan passes wisdom even from the gravestone I bet you didn’t know I was the great unknown Waiting in the wings while my colors unbound Writing bullshit while I try to act profound Chilling here with Algernon barely making rent Pantry runnin dry searching for an advent Myrtle’s out of gas and I’m running low on fuel I’m about to take a dive in the backyard pool [Hook]
