Aesop Rock — Get Out of the Car

[Sample] I see how y'all be trying to front, man y'all be fronting, man [Verse: Aesop Rock] Been a bit since Mu died Been a lot more loss in the wake I recall thinking, "Someday, someone's gonna say it's all from the same cause and effect" And I just couldn't fathom blaming a whole new page on a made-up chain reaction Each claim individual peaks and pockets Pains and a slew of unique nuances Nah mean?
