Aesop Rock - No Jumper Cables Lyrics

Burn train buffers
My fancy
Up jumps the boogie delivering eye jammies
Walk through the muck with a clutch on a trident
Never give a fuck how far Pi went
You are dealing with a reborn icicle age poltergeist

Uprock, sidewalk cycles stuck at the bus stop
Wookie foot must not sleep
Under the invaders
No batteries
No jumper cables

Wired underagers play box cutter facelift
Rock utter makeshift spirit
To y'all I'm just a funny moniker with a couple of fresh records
And a bangin' hand style to put the jukies On the guest list

Walk for that
Metal train graf brainiac
Walk for them
Not a limelight
more to blush alizarin crimson
when the multi million
Tin men suck traditional rituals
Out the homes of starving children
And I bet they can see the city bleeding from the satellites
Formed by the corporate war drums recorded poorly
Dirty dub vamp.
Bruised by the hues of wicked pallets
Chewed by the tooth of livid maggots
Dino DNA and cola, straight no chaser
Mars attacks colorfulness
I piss raptors on motherships

Hazy days will stay purple
Cause Cips with a Z bargain
Like Crazy Eddie commercials

Go Ah AH AHH AHHH
network with a dirt devil
Burn train buffers.
Hi!
Cute the way your little parasol spins.
Bye!
Suck my Neanderthal dick.
Catapults spit.
Losing the screws and bolts
and all they heard's crews gulp in bulk and sulk in volts
Zap!
Radio m-m-m-m-mayhem, fine.
Suicidal eye full of plastic nine.
Bang!

No batteries [etc]

Come on

Catapult
Jump motherfuckers
No batteries

They only came to buff the name stuck the train
That's a textbook page

Curators cater to killers of innovators
I'm a staple
No batteries no jumper cables

Choke train buffers like a headlocked Ed Koch
Nurture the craft of concrete visionaries
Cave painters screaming "Loosen the cuffs!"
Cave paintings get the natural history feather dust
Pick a lust.

Limo tint stretch delorian chrome sittin on twenties
Then I walk to the stouge, burning my laundry
Lo Pro, fucked up jeans back at the party spinning Kane meets Flight of the Valkryies in a heartbeat.
Saber tooth, catalog, city art, liturgy
Ranger Ricks endanger the clique maximum efficiency
And isn't that dope?
The line of blind winged Pygars and how they wallow planks into the matmos.
Binder bibles and a graphite prison violator
with Joshua for the war gamer systems.

Now the architects are rioting cause we built something different
I'm like how the fuck sure shot evolution not my business?

My elephant television was on.
Grape soda, Grape ape, Great space coaster,
DnD, GI Joe, Transformer, Herculiod, ThunderCat, Voltron, Speed Racer, Space Ghoster.
Kiss the flickering images with Carroll Ann fingertips,
C-4 to four chamber skips,
Ohh shit...

They say his eyes were spiraling back when he hit the mat
Woke first words: "Oh it's like that?"
Started bendin spoons and rippin arrows outa lady hawks
With a C3P unit tryin to interpret the baby talk

Burn train buffers
Right turn woulda missed the iceberg, fine.
But you don't like our kind. Do you?
Junkyard Dog. Hot tin roofs cradle kittens with them sub par flaws.
Rappin is my radio, graffiti is my TV.
B-boys keep them windmills breezy.

Don't get cooked by the pilot light

Don't get cooked by the pilot light

Sofia Baltazar 😂😂😂 "Keep them windmills breezy" awesome!

he said he doesn't like this album anymore, i think it's his best. better than that prog rock sounding music he makes now

he can say what he wants, but it IS his best

I'm sorry are actually saying his music now is shit? Have you heard his latest album? It's fucking pure brilliance. Defo some of his best stuff

Great track but the background noise is really distracting and unnecessary imo.

Killboy Powerhead Welcome to New York!!!

Is it bad that whenever I try to tell people about how fucking awesome Aesop Rock is, the general response is "Don't you mean A$AP Rocky?"

after spending some time thinking about it, Aesop Rock isn't for everyone; not that listening to him makes you smart or better, but it simply is more complicated music that "normal people" can't appreciate.

Oh God does that get frustrating. Especially when you have to say, "No not a.s.a.p. AESOP" , and you get in return, "What's an aesop?".............Facepalm City - Population: you

i am guilty of this one lol, u can't rly blame em. it's the hop from mainstream to underground and theyre both popular to their respective audiences. i personally like aesop's work more than asap's now tho

Facts. Rocky aint bad but its two Different types of rappers

EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.

ahhhhh ahhahha

DJ Kay Slay aka. The Drama King @ 1:32 & 1:39 & 3:14 - came along way!!!

What was he saying during the intro?

Who stole the uprock
Who stole the paint
Who stole the cypher slayers
Who buffed the train
Who stole the mixtapes
Who stole the fame
Who stole the cypher slayers
Who buffed the train

Thank you.

I prefer the Team Teamwork version

Me too.

I really dislike the instrumental, the remix of this is far better, but the music video is dope as fuck

Most slept on Aes joint of all time. Video mad fresh.

for real!

THUG2 had some kick ass music

Who heard this before THUG 2?? I hope im not the only one

Gawd damn, that hip hop gives me goosebumps. Real hip hop.

Aesop sooo good can't get enough of this track.

This song is a definitive salute to hip hop in its purest form the back ground musics adapted from the Bronx early hip hop break dance graffiti movement electro uprock shit , rock steady vibe , what you can't feel it ?? you not hip hop then !!! Same style used in EL-P's DPA - drum pattern awareness . Shit.. Rock steady y'all "..

U know it!

wasn't this song in tony hawk's underground 2?

+Zanderich also labour days in thps4

DJ PaWl remix

Rings is in Forza horizon 3

@Mitten Slap Forza Horizon 3 introduced me to Aesop. My life was forever changed, haha

one of aesop's first beats, still my fav song from him 

Fun g needs to ruff ruff at some hipsters

Fun g aes is talking about graffiti and hip hop. Stop sounding so bitter and jealous. Spewing hipster bs I've been listening to hip hop since 84. I have no problem understanding his meaning. Go bark with dmx

this is so fucking embarrassing, try to keep up with this garbage rapper saying shit that makes zero sense because it impresses pretentious hipsters that think they are listening to deep hip hop. fuck this song

fvn g your slow

fvn g he's clearly rapping about hip hop fucking moron

earth worm

fvn g he expresses how garbage everything is most times he dont need to put work into it obviously comes natural hiphop is his release if he finds light thru it let it be respect that he fights for right thru music and cut it with all the hate

fvn g garbage rap 4 life means more than the garbage most are fed there whole life

11 years old and still fucking awesome 

What's this song about?

@fvn g Freedom of Graffiti.

I suggest RapGenius.

@fvn g
Graffiti and hip hop culture, duh.

O'Clock 156 

dis nigga got hot cuz he used style wars in his first video wow  nice gimmic but corny song sorry jus tellin the truth 

Haha, Blockhead totally forgot how to 'gangsta'

dope. this shit is dope!

i feel this is the last type of songs Aes made that were for him. His new stuff is lyrically him, but it lacks the aes delivery. with his double timing he's conforming.

85jacosta No he said in his interview with open mike eagle his style has just changed his flow with age. He hates his old flow

i used to get up now i just get high of it

youre in the wrong side of youtube pal

Whole video uses clips from the movie Style Wars. In case you cats didn't know. Go watch it.

aes got nice hand steez

DA BOMB !

this whole video should have just been vast aire making funny gestures.
like at @1:04

Rapping is my radio, graffiti is my TV;
B-boys keep them windmills breezy,
DJ's keep the hodgepodge mish mosh
pit culture for a dance floor up top.

Let's keep our Hip Hop Hip Hop.

This beat sucks ><

keep the windmills breezy!

Somehting out a an 80s arcade video game.

I can't stop hearing this version in my head

/watch?v=kEtSeiLhPRM

weird that this shit is sort of an old school classic now. still remember what the fuckin album dropped. damn.

song and video is ill. dope graffiti through out.Vast Aire is in the background too.

I love this man's sounds

anyone remember playing with benjamin frank grinding on the wires? on thug2? shit got real!

@ 3:19
The one and only.
The og.
Stay High 149.
Rip...

is that an earsnot tag on the back of the satellite dish?

When I was about 11 or 12 years old, I was skateboarding at an old graffiti ridden skatepark. A few older kids showed up, sort of dirty, ratty dudes and one of them plugged in a boombox to an outlet at a power box for the park's lights. This was one of the first songs that started playing, and the atmosphere that this song created on that particular night while we were skating is something that simply cannot be recreated.

then go out and take over

this song is crazy

Haze 1:30

@froschein terrible grammar... my god..

record it poorly.

When I first got into Rhymsayers one of the first songs I heard was "Night Prowler" and I immediately knew it was from a game. I also heard this one and it's nostalgia every time now. Never knew my music would be so influenced by one of my favorite games

tony hawk underground 2

T.H.U.G. 2!

Makes me miss tagging!

I would fight a boss battle to this

I remember in highschool I had a def jux sampler cd that came with a dvd that had this on it. I would put this video on first thing every morning!

Yeah me too o__O

9 people aren't bombers!!

vevo has Aesop? Aw fml.

@the212soul jumper cables are those things you use on car batteries,a train buffer takes graffiti off trains

@DrJuice1

Who stole the cypher slayers, who buffer the train?

its sick how well this video is blended with style wars

this is one of my favorite aesop songs

vevo aint evil enough to censor aesop rock!

this is like the best song from aseop everr with the exception of the beat

OOH SHIT

who stole the uprock, who stole the paint?
who stole the cypress slayers who buffed the train?
who stole the mixtape, who stole the fame?
who stole the cypress slayers who buffed the train?

@the212soul A train buffer gets rid of the graffiti on the trains. Jumper cables start cars that have dead batteries.
