LYRICS:
(Lealani )
I Will Send You Flowers…
(Aesop)
King of world peace, purple aura, laurel wreath
Secure the flora, orchidaceae to fungal spore release
to algae in the coral reef
Florida orange, Georgia peach
Poison ivy, even his defensive line is floral-themed
Dahlias grow out of my back, hyacinth over my trunk
12,000 species of moss, agree to upholster his tongue
Tubers and roots in his shoes, gimme a feud to diffuse
Bury 'em all in bouquets, de-escalation ensues
You looking stupid shooting the fade in petunias
Or doing dirt in the daisies, I’m changing into bermudas
All of that doofus shit you oozing just don’t play in the Tulips
If human nature vs nature nature is brewing, my goodness
Guns and roses turn to roses and roses
Country roads is overgrown with begonias
Come press your nose to the lotus
Those aromas make a tuffy throw his toast in the ocean
I’m on the beach in my floaties like I don’t know any Moses, ayo
(Lealani)
Blood Stains, ingrained, of pain, I'm slayed, I'm beat up, chewed up, drained, but I'll send you flowers
Blood Stains, ingrained, of pain, I'm slayed, I'm beat up, chewed up, drained, but I'll send you flowers
(Aesop)
How'd you get so bathed in light?
I throw flowers at Satan on site
From birthstone to first snow
To posies in the pockets of your church clothes
To fertilizing where the red fern grows
I know a speeding bullet over Broadway is cathartic
I just hope before it’s target it talk to a few samaras
Helicoptering from canopy to forest floor and garden
Forget the aggressive warning, it's more of a “Hello darling”
Even Ares pull over to say “ayo, don’t say I said it
But god damn that vegetation is, dare I say it - “disarming”
Dog, wait’ll they take in the morning glories
Or petals that smell like bubblegum and marshmallows warming
I love to see a horde who swore to burn the steeple at night
Get floated noses-first like Mickey Mouse to seasonal pie
That oleander answer violence like a bleach for the eye
Let’s hope you answer to them violets ‘fore they eat you alive
Whatever ring-leading led you to revel in things grieving
Got the kingdom of chlorophyll assembled for spring-cleaning
(Lealani)
Blood Stains, ingrained, of pain, I'm slayed, I'm beat up, chewed up, drained, but I'll send you flowers
Blood Stains, ingrained, of pain, I'm slayed, I'm beat up, chewed up, drained, but I'll send you flowers
(Aesop)
How'd you get so cleansed in blood?
I keep more flowers ready in the trunk
(Lealani)
I had to grow, I had to grow, I had to grow, I will send you flowers
I had to grow, I had to grow, I had to grow, I will send you flowers

I laughed out loud the other day when I heard someone say “hip hop is dead”…… no sir, our man AES will be keeping the flame burning for eternity

[@thienypham2738]

You know why a lot of people said hip hop is dead? Because they are still stick to old school mainstream rappers in 80s and 90s while their lyrical and rapping skills abilities if compared to Aesop these days, of course they all nothing even 50% to Aesop, so that they are really worry to dare get off outside the box and try something new

[@Stanley_Streamer]

No herds stampeding to Aes and his warehouse of wisdom gleaning rhymes. Good or bad thing is a subjective judgment that is not in my job description at this pay grade. Those who do make those judgments clearly make the big bucks to shoulder such massive responsibilities, and grateful am I for their service. I myself struggle to even stay abreast of person to person recommendations, such as that person who highly recommended I check out Aesop Rock, let's see, I think that was circa 2005-2006. Man I missed a grip of his creations in my professional procrastination dilly-dallying, lolly-gagging not to mention union sanctioned time-clock management...the flip side is now I've got enough material to go back through, should be able to retire with full pension by the time I finish. Woo-woo, no mumble rappers on my watch, some young eager whipper snapper can deal with that mess. Life is good, thanks to Aes.

[@Davisjett7097]

Ay ay ayo. Enjoy the bouquet.❤

[@dhfrench7329]

Send flowers

[@TheCancerMan]

This is the shit that's got swamp thing noddin hid head

[@LossAgeless]

shout out VEGGIEBURGER!

[@JEStheUniversual]

When other rappers get boring because they can't think "outside" the box and write something so different and unique you can always trust Aesop Rock. The whole flower/plant theme of this track is beautiful.

[@nastiestNate]

Here's a line you missed: "All that dufus shit you oozing, just go play in the tulips."

[@cocoq10]

Cough *Andre* Cough

[@cocoq10]

@ezerk I know, and I've heard him saying this same spiel for years and I kinda hoped he was bluffing and was sitting on tons of rhymes (and I am still hopeful he will drop something soon and is doing this flute thing to generate buzz) but I think he might be telling the truth.. then we have Aes who sits with his dark emotions and makes something super creative out of his darker/ depressive experiences, so much that he seems to have powered his way out it on ITS... with Andre I always got the sense it was depression related writers block paired impossible standards instead of just having fun.. in a way maybe this is Aes' secret sauce for being able to do some incredible solo project every couple years, but then again I think he compares himself to himself only so even if he became super commercialy successful, I don't think it would change his creative process 💚 but yes someone please get him to listen to Aes and the people on Mellow 🕊

[@onradioactivewaves]

​@@cocoq10Pardon? Andre is *on the ray*

[@knutt81]

Used to draw...

[@Still1-half2Lo]

Whole album is A+

[@hugh_jasso]

Lealani is giving me Bjork vibes on this track, probably my favorite. Love it!!

[@GeekCreek]

I legit thought it was Bjork the first time I heard it.

[@LordRuckus]

Bjork was my first thought. Digging her sound.

[@RobotsMakeMusic]

The collab game has been something else on this album

[@prim34ev]

i’m completely blown away every time aes drops i can’t believe the talent of this man

[@thelandofyellow7714]

This one is probably my favorite. The way she sings "I'm beat up, chewed up, drained but I'll send you flowers" gives me fucking LIFE 💜🥰

[@jordanhyman9877]

[@NGPEnTERPRISALL]

How'd you get so bathed in light ;)

[@ince55ant]

so glad for this track showing me lealani. new favorite artist. its like that tobacco colab all over again

[@steinthor]

Aes has come a long way from a mushroom growing in his car and not being able to keep a cactus alive when he's present.

[@danamulter]

How do you tell a whole billion stories I mean. bro do you know how good this is? It's a truck to the face, again. Still. Aesop Rock Wins.

[@ju4408]

Haven't thought of Where the Red Fern Grows since 3rd grade (1988-ish?), and just hearing the phrase immediately made me choke up for a few. Aes is THE master of allusion, and never ever pulls punches. That one landed hard.

[@CliffSedge-nu5fv]

Reminds me of _Not Afraid_ by MC Lars and Watsky.

[@zachp5701]

I can't get past this track without a replay so far. His flow, the beat and botanical theme is absolutely fantastic! ✌️

[@dexterhuntington2495]

I've had it on loop since it dropped 🥰

[@thomasyancey5887]

Dude has has ascended to the 4th dimension

[@daddydidnt9700]

He went above and beyond on SWFG and ITS 🔥

[@capnpicard6146]

Dude this goes hard as fuck

[@AngelFranks]

I am not used to one of my fave artists putting out one of my fave albums in their catalogue at the age of 47.... THANK YOU AESOP!!!!!

[@mistaree5731]

This might be the craziest joint on the album. Wow

[@breezy.other.worldly9938]

Aes is amazing as always but I love the sound from Lealani too. Good work my dude

[@user-wt7zf1nq9s]

woke up with this line in my head. great job on the album

[@alpaykasal2902]

Whaaa? I recognized Veggieburgerr's voice in that first sample... separate world's collide. Nice! Everything about this album is dope.

[@Track_id]

I was surprised too I knew the name looked familiar bc I think she is friends of friends, it’s kind of huge imo honestly and it kind of means a lot , I might be stoned but still. mad love

[@MapleCakeTheLion]

Lealani reminds me of the Sneaker Pimps, and I love every moment of this track.

[@genepoole]

Aesop is the Jungian G

[@inyerd123]

ok i know its kinda early to be sure but i thik this might be his best album

[@evanabt8578]

I’m thinking the same.. atleast best in a long while. Can’t beat the lovely aes classics.

[@partypete4278]

I never gave the guy a chance, and Mindful Solutionism came on Pandora. Game.over. Instant fan. Running back through his catalog. Holy shit hip hop is still here!

[@leisureforce]

Aes and Lealani on one track

[@AntoineMalveaux]

My guy Aesop's on some Father Nature shit and I love it.❤

[@saardean4481]

Very cool track. The icing of the cake is Leilani. She's impressive. . She sounds like its Björk singing Portishead in a parallel universe

[@Track_id]

i think she makes really cool music too if Ya didn’t know :p

[@saardean4481]

@@Track_id i looked her up immediately when i first heard this song. I basically like this song mainly because of her :-) So i will let them know

[@Track_id]

@@saardean4481 alright look it’s an aesop rock cult okay , haha just kidding 😎🤪 dope dope

[@saardean4481]

@@Track_id i really like Aesop a lot too. It was simply that in this particular track her vocals made it go the extra mile. Gives it almost kinda Portishead vibe

[@Track_id]

@@saardean4481 hahahaha I was just joking !! and I think it’s really cool You even went out of your way to comment about it bc you are correct, even fx or filters or design has that sound have a great day

[@dylanstueve1848]

Please dont ever stop Aes shout out from 666 Topeka Ks been Rockin all your shit since the 04 mofo

[@IndividualistMusic]

I'm doing reactions for every song on this album on my channel if anyone's interested, so far I've done a few so far I'm actually in between recording some right now, Just uploaded this one.

[@nathandts3401]

I'll listen to this again when I've got a website up with the meanings of different flowers.

[@Cooljonny11]

was not expecting a leelani feature, definitely my favorite song

[@nastiestNate]

In so many ways, this one "throws flowers at Satan on sight." Oof ain't he good

[@lhuce7586]

I like that line. It's a cool way to say "I try to be a good person" (from my perspective, that is)@@nastiestNate

[@WhizzerdSupreme]

Two bomb tracks dropped in one day? Dammnn ❤️‍🔥

[@gentryfox]

🤦

[@na-dm6jb]

The whole album dropped 😂

[@shotwheels4029]

Piet Hein, “Lilac Time”: The lilacs are flowering, sweet and sublime, with a perfume that goes to the head; and lovers meander in prose and rhyme, trying to say - for the thousandth time - wha's easier done than said.

[@rainsweptflower]

thanks for this song ♥

[@AxelCross]

sublime

[@durere]

I'm gonna keep saying this until it becomes reality: this should be the theme song for the Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't youtube channel.

[@obligatedobservation5878]

Yes!!

[@datsneefa]

im making a new leyline map

[@rot_lung]

Lealani really reminds me of Miho Hatori from Chibo Matto! Please, Ase, do more collabs with her!

[@dexterhuntington2495]

Oh so dope...
