Aesop Rock - Shovel (Official Lyrics)

[@myadrawe9907]

I mean absorbing attention's a must. you don't wanna be overlooked. yeah, but you don't wanna be looked over too much.

[@zoom4368]

Shhhhj

[@AxelsAxis]

Just realized the melody is sampled from "Bucket of Blood" from the 1976 version of Carrie. Awesome

[@sumwonkool]

Dalia Benitez you got it. Also used in American horror story season 2, eps 1. And in an Army of the Pharoahs song too. Classic sample

[@kellynopenothanks9781]

Brendan M when ever someone says army of pharaoh I think of Jedi mind tricks. Loooooove vinne paz. Dudes passion changed the way I look at lyrics.

[@beyondz55]

Yeah and its very tastefully interpolated and produced by Blockhead

[@jranimations5955]

@@kellynopenothanks9781 you telling me there are 2 different Army of Pharaoh's? The only one I know is the one with Vinnie Paz too. (Killer by Design)👌

This shit bangs low key, Aes on his Southern shit, my favorite Aesop track

[@neadb4675]

Like the king of the mountain requires a boost. Incredible.

Aesop sampled 'Bucket of Blood' from the 'Carrie' soundtrack, written by Pino Donaggio. It also features in Amazon's 'Homecoming', which co-stars Sissy Spacek, who played the titular role in Carrie.

I noticed this same type beat bout halfway through the first episode of the asylum season of American horror story. Came to this song because that sped up beat is almost the same. Sounds like ahs is the sped up og sans drums and effects.

[@jonathanbattani7550]

"Yeah maybe it's all over, maybe ive won before the machine ate my quarter" This whole song is directly at the great oppressors I swear

[@brandonfuller4413]

It's a threat

[@StreetCliche]

[@alexbeckes3389]

[@balsalmalberto8086]

@@johannabailey1035 My Doniggio made a fire beat.

[@SRGisaBAMF]

Hey, thanks for uploading these songs with lyrics. BUT, why on earth would you separate the lyrics measure by measure? It's fucking lovely how it is in the book; in paragraph form.

[@mattbean3723]

Aesop, stop saying pedagogue. lol I hear it like every other track.

[@theinternet1424]

Well, generic rappers whose life is all about money money mention money money in every other track, don't they? ;)

[@themasterhackerful]

Matt Bean and centerfold 😂

[@lounowell4171]

mezzanine :P

[@Eagles4life221]

Matt Bean what about culprit?

[@myadrawe9907]

this is hilarious. you're criticizing Aesop for being repetitive and he literally has the most diverse lexicon in all of rap

[@beyondz55]

My favorite Aesop song
