Lyrics

Perhaps you should begin by asking yourself some questions
and making some observations

My hometown's a scene where diversity is
as common as weed in a nursery
kid, I was the Jeckyll if my brother was Hyde
while he was slipping I was diving on a Slip 'n' Slide, yeah
you know I think of all the knots in time
and how you lose memories like a flawed design
in winged moths to the touch will dissolve and shine
and drop to Earth and bond like an orange rind
the other day I went up north in a crisis
to rework the rhyme and find where my life fits
more win / loss, up / drop than bright quips
less "you pop off, I Pop Art like 'Bite This'"
in prison the light mixed to crimson likened to baths
of bloodlines, a viper don't fast
my brother Eli defined a frightening path
now the future is bright like a light where you're syphoning gas
and the fact is with weeks of practice
and years of backflips you're really back
it's a miracle and a sign (it might switch on a dime)
psych, cynicism isn't aligned

Eli's Prism'll shine in the sky and it's like that
And on the upside we're finding the right path
And at the rough times it's hard but we fight that
And in the sunshine the scar is a light scratch, 'cause

Eli's Prism'll shine and it's like that
Eli's Prism'll shine and it's like that
Eli's Prism'll shine and it's like this

"It's Me Brother!"

Eli's prism defined is a strike back
of many years spent behind iron bike racks
bars aligned, a guy kinda type cast
and talks of times when I was a tike, fact:
when I was five, biting a rhyme on a tape
you kicked Das Efx I tried to relate
wild chase in an Alf mask and matching gloves
brother the attic is safekeeping a capsule of, like
when we would play whiffle ball by the pricker
bush you could hit the pitch off the pitcher
off the upper deck with the slider
please lock 'em mother, tree tops to tires
cosmos rotator… God bless you
man I tried my best at times to respect
and get you noticing light, now we're older and wise
I see an omen in coping I know to open them blinds

Eli's Prism'll shine in the sky and it's like that
And on the upside we're finding the right path
And at the rough times it's hard but we fight that
And in the sunshine the scar is a light scratch, yes

Eli's Prism'll shine and it's like that
Eli's Prism'll shine and it's like that
Eli's Prism'll shine, we tell you one more time

"It's Me Brother!"

see, I told ya
look at that dude right there

for example this is a prism
look what happens when a beam of light
enters this glass prism
do we know everything there is to know about light
...
of course
this is a mercury vapor street light
we should make records
this is burning magnesium
this is the spectrum of the sun
we should make white records
this is a spectrum of laboratory helium
what causes this to happen?
the sugar syrup is in the lower half
this slit will weld
the light from a star
now let's take a look at some other materials
