Genius English Translations - Oxxxymiron Ahr N Lohobo Kotn Ivory Tower English Translation Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the asphalt, past the concrete
Avoiding gawkers, to the applause
Of residential arrondissement dwellers
The lower strata, class- and national elements
Past the buildings of the municipal center
And the statue of the vice-mayor, whistling a concert
I’m coming down, an unprecedentedly exonerated
Hypocritically pardoned thirty-years-old
Damn, I must be favored by the Universe
If no one knеw me I wouldn’t have survived
But, seems likе the mayor needed to sell
This mercy and justice to the poor streets – fuck knows
I’m alive, thanks to the fortune
And I’m balancing the edge on stilts
I’m hunched and bouncing like a fool
Through the fates and the storms to the elusive Ultima Thule (Thule)
I thought the time is up, the udder’s run dry
On the road - ridges and potholes, boulders and blocks
On my trail between peace, war
Some think I’m a fucking trickster
Others see that I’m of the world of games and books
You see, I’m a hybrid, I grew up as both
I wasn’t made for the world of stage lights, intrigue
And adrenaline, the choice of line of fate is tricky
I just spent years writing and looking out the window
Scratching, erasing, my notebook constantly grew
Fragile worlds fell apart in the dark on the desk
While my dead idols peered out the window from the wall
I was alone, the creation lead me over the edge
Now my face is seen out of every stall
But what change? Nothing inside, but outside a lot
Because I got twisted into a knot by powers that be
To the point that stress, fuss, run, quidditch
I used to think that thirty years is finish
But I’m here, you see? Glenfiddich
They were mad: “Why won’t you fuck off?”
They’re asking for something, mucking the air and the nerves
A forensic expert – either blood or semen
Bitches – a hand and a heart, publishers – Booker Prize, deals
Readers –
Hey, I’ve seen your circus from the gallows
Forget about Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu
There are two ways out of this circus:
Suicide or stoicism
And if you didn’t choose suicide
Then bear with it, stop whining, give way
And yes, we’re scared, everyone’s scared, fear and solipsism
But despite the world we’ll soar amidst the fuss
[Chorus]
My city’s beyond time, beyond territory, tribe
Beyond birthright, empire, Troy, Pompeii, Rome
My city’s wraith and apparition that a Bedouin sees in his dreams
My city’s on the mountain of ruin
My city’s a maze, I’m it’s blind and clumsy guide
And my city doesn’t believe in them
It’s governance is inside, but not under the mountain or in mayor's office

[Verse 2]
I’m a stoic like Lucius Seneca
Going down from elite palazzos to the ghettos
If I survived then I should live and breathe deeply
And my Fucked Up Girl left, but I’ll survive that too
Answer me this question
Can a creator live in an ivory tower?
Be invited to the Palace or be against the nobles
Or remain neutral-
*Gunshot*

You’re not home yet? That’s weird. Listen, what can I tell you, except that you’re an idiot? But I’m glad you were released, we all almost lost our minds here. Anyway, you get back, and I’ll read “Where we’re not” in the meantime. By the way, the title is ass! Kisses
